Well if all goes well, I'll be getting my hardtop tomorrow night from a member on this board. I searched and read how a lot of the track people remove their tops inplace of the hardtop and was wondering if those people regretted it what so ever? I was thinking about removing the soft top and create more of a 'storage' space in the back but wasnt quite sure if i should or shouldnt do it...

also, how hard is it to remove/re-install the soft top?

thanks

Didn't you buy the car "to be a convertable"?...

During the summer months and such, it's fairly simple to remove the hardtop and go topless - but i'd be pretty scared to do it if there was -any- chance of rain whatsoever, without having the softtop installed..

 

eh not really...ive loved everything about the s2000 but the convertable part...ive never been a fan of convertables

 

then just remove the soft top and make it a s2000 coupe and never take the hardtop off

 

And please DO NOT post pictures of it, or people will think its the MY07 S2000.




Btw..
What's not to like about convertables?

 

i actually agree with you about liking everything about the S except it being a convertIble. i dunno, im getting used to it now.

but why would you want to remove the softop? weight savings alone?

unless im mistaken, you dont have to remove the softop in order to install the hardtop. right?

 

No, but it saves weight.

 

yeah i dunno i juss never been a fan of convertables...personal preference really...i dont mind it but i think it looks weird with the hardtop on and the soft top all folded...why couldnt honda juss have created a hardtop convertable

 

well search says soft top is about 45-60lbs. hardly enough weight "savings" for me on a street car to bother with.

 

yeah i was really doing it for 'looks' and for storage space, considering i drive to uva from nova almost every other weekend, its nice to have space...

i guess we'll see how it is for a bit with the top folded down and if i really cant stand the way it looks then out it goes...
