Softtop removal- does it affect rigidity?
Hi everyone,
I just fitted an OEM HT and would like to furthur reduce the weight of my car for track duties.
I have removed over 10 softops and frames for glass window conversions so im familiar with the process, but I'm wondering if the frame actually contributes to rigidity in the rear?
I know the cr comes without the softtop but it does have some form of bracing.
Will I lose rigidity without this - implanning on removing the frame and motors etc.
Any one have pics of there cr brace installed too?
Thanks

Thanks for the pic it's really helpful. I will take a look at removing the soft top today.
I'd definetly get that cr brace though. If Honda thought it necessary there must be some rigidity in the frame.
