Compression is 10.6:1 in all Japanese H22a's with ~200 hp. However, the Type-S and S-Spec motors have a 11:1 comp ratio, actually.

Not true at all. Every single "Si", "SiR", or "SiR S-Spec" 5th gen Prelude sold in Japan had the sun roof as an option. The main part you got right though, that the ONLY prelude you COULD NOT order a sun roof with was the Type-S(except maybe the Xi, also,). Every other prelude you could order the sunroof on. HOWEVER, it was not standard equipment on any of the preludes you could get it on.

Once again, the Seats in the Type-S were the same as the seats in the S-Spec, only they had red stitching in the Type-S, rather than black or gray in the S-Spec. You could have partially leather, or fully leather seats with any the Si and SiR models, but they were nothing like the S-Spec or Type-S seats(which were unique all in themselves)
