Is the HT going to removable, or are you going to secure it to the windscreen frame and rear deck permanently? Sure it would add more rigidity

if the hardtop is removable would event organizers get funny caus you could loose alot of weight really easily?

I think that aerodynamics would be severely affected though. I would have thought it would be beneicial to keep the hardtop on over losing it and gaining drag from air resistance???

hardtop will be removable, but it will be securely bolted to the cage with custom brackets. as said above, aerodynamics would be effected if the car was run without the hardtop. i think hel mentioned they may possibly think about changing the hardtop for a carbon or lightweight one in the future, which would be the best option.

Need more build threads like this.

Will be following this thread that's for sure!

A Mugen hardtop would improve aero to a rear wing.

I remember watching a track test that said the S2000 was faster with the top down.

Didn't have a massive roll cage or a wing though.

definately the way forward on a race car but alot of moneys to spend out,

i wonder if mugen every did and air tunnel testing to prove how much more efficient it it and if they ever tested with :
roof down
canvas roof up
std hardtop
and there awesome MUGEN one

I thought that the Mugen hardtop was proven to allow an extra 5-10kph to top speed?

Compared to the soft top maybe, compared to the hardtop I doubt that!
