Purely Hypothetical T Tops :D - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

My friend had a 300ZX and could only hand wash because it leaked so bad ^^

Sure proper care could prevent but that's exactly the type of thing that makes me like the relative simplicity of this car.

I've owned a targa Supra and t-top MR2. They are cool at first, and then they creak and leak water. Hardtop FTW.

A targa 86 would rock so much.
There's a pic around here SOMEWHERE of a red mockup with the boot lid including the rear window.

a 2 seater Targa I would have bought in a heartbeat.

I just want a sunroof....

I say no as even the Supra targa top you feel the body flex with the top off and I don't want body flex with my FR-S.

I was just saying this...a small pop up (not glass) like on the side of a custom van, just to let some air in but not ruin the dynamics or structure of the car.

This. My most missed feature after switching to the FR-S. Nothing like cracking that shit open when its nice and sunny out.

Fett4Real · 05-16-2013, 12:06 PM

You know...In the 6 years I had a sunroof I used it a handful of times and more then likely only cracked it open. I slide the cover back on my TL once and a while...but really...a sunroof is added weight on the top of the car, the worst place to have extra weight. People dont want that...the car wasnt made to have a high center of gravity.

...as an option. People don't NEED to buy it but having one is a nice 'luxury' for a car not solely used for track purposes.

The shape of the roof wouldnt allow for a sun roof though...the taga top would be about the only option for making an open roof that isnt a convertible.

NemeGuero · 05-16-2013, 01:50 PM

Yah, fair point. We're all just dreaming anyway. T-tops are a pain.. gotta have space in the trunk. Hope it doesn't rain... gotta pull over to pull them off.. meh.
