Someone told me that the rood liner in a Zenki s13 is not AS low as the roof liner in a chuki s13… I’m a big guy and need headroom/helmetroom.

No offence meant to the person who told me, I’d just like to know for sure.

I’d like to know fi this is fact or not.

Thanks.

there is a lot more head room in a 89-90 non sunroof than anything with a sunroof. in my '92 with manual sunroof my hair touches the roof, but in my '90 with no sunroof it wasn’t even close.

i also believe coupes and power sunroofs have a lower roof line but i’m not 100% on this

Right, Im trying to find one without a sunroof period. But it’s hard to comeby in Canada for some reason.

My question is if the 2 sunroof models are any different in height between the chuki and zenki.

the difference may be a coupe with power sunroof takes up more space than a hatch with a manual sunroof.

what I am saying is the height of a non sunroof 89 is the same as a 92 with no sunroof. both hatches. I can’t tell you if the coupe is any different.

I’ve never heard of this before.

And also what’s with you guys hitting your head with a helmet on? I’m 5’9" maybe 5’10" and I’ve never hit my head or even come close I think.

But Dan I’m sure you have sat in numerous 240s by now. You should know whether you fit or not by now. If that is why you’re asking.
