TARGA top 240sx
can anyone give me any advice about getting a custom targa top installed. anyshops that may be able to help me any pictures of anyone whos done it or tried before.anything would be appreciated.
Buy a sawzall and do it yourself. I did it with my old 240 and it turned out great. Let me find the pictures.....oh wait...they're in the file under THAT IS THE BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME EVER.Originally Posted by driftspec240
Buy a convertable 240 if you dont want a top. Dont ruin one that someone else could do better.
there are a few shops around that are willing to do it, but it will cost you as much as your car did or more. it also makes the car so amazingly weak it is rediculious. my advice is much like the other advice you will get, dont do it.
:boobies:
I don't know why everyone is telling you not to.
They're just jealous because you have a great idea to be original and different. Wait....you have a 240? Oh...well atleast you're trying to be original and different....you have a 240?
Oh....buy a MR2..or a trans am or something.
ITs possible...i say try it. Wont be easy to do safely..
Get ready to add about 300+pounds of bracing to get the chassis as stiff as it is now. If you hack the top out w/o bracing you will have the illest handling weakest chassis around. Can you say chassis flex?
Not to mention how hard it will be to do without leaking all over the place.
i can't say don't do it, its your project, i just wouldn't recommand it.
accord.
:boobies:
Thats pretty bad ass- anyone know how much that cost? Probably a good penny...
Man you can do it regardless of what the haters say. Back in my mini trucking days just about every truck had either a targa top or completely removable hardtops. I would expect to spend a lot of money through somebody like UAB, but I would look around the mini truck scene and check out some of the work done to them by other shops or individuals that do it on the side. Just my $.02
The XUV !!!
It'll still be ugly as sin.
mini trucks have frames , he is using a unibody.

Put in a cage for purpose as well as show.
i would suggest T-tops before targa.... the only reason is because when you go targa you lose TONS of stiffness that the hardtop provides.... if you were to go targa you would have to put a FULL roll cage in just to keep the car from splitting in half....

If You Aint Blowin You Aint Goin!!!
"So, Lone Star. Now you see that evil will always triumph...because good is dumb."
Would someone detail the differences between a T-top and a Targa top please? I am kinda lost....
T is a bar in the center of the car and 2 pieces that come out, targa the whole center section (about 2 feet or so wide) lifts out.. know what i mean?
:boobies:
Wow this car would just get worse and worse.
A bone stock 240 with a targa ghetto cut in the roof and then a rool cage for no other reason than to keep the car together.
That is hoodrich right there.
I vote for no. And if you decide to go with it, donate money to me since you obviously have waaaaaaaay to much for your own good.
-91 240SX -- CA18 Power...SOLD, now terrorizing the streets of Alabama
WE have a class A hater right there...
I think most ppl want u to do thius to your 240:
get a sr swap
silvia front
big front mount
some offset wheels
expensive ass jdm stuff
and look like the rest of them...
I SAY DO IT!!!!! AND DO IT THE RIGHT WAY
At least it would look good and be fast then. Cut a targa top into the car get a roll cage to hold the car together? Thats fucking retarded.
Yeah you're real damn original too, you have a 240sx.
I could get my car painted lime green with hydrolics because it original; doesnt make it a good idea.
4,000+ posts and drives a protege. We have a winner. From now on you are banned to talk about anything regarding taste.
eh, I know Jay and he is the shit. So I have no problem backing him up in the claim that he is better than you, or the other jack ass that believes making a 240sx targa will be cool.
Jay's kouki was fucking hot. His volvo was fast as shit, and his G20 is the nicest G20 I have ever seen.
Plus he uses correct language when talking about "you" and not u and mistaken and not mistakin.
You also realize you are scrawny as fuck. You were what 6'3 140lb?
Jay's cars have been the shit, your car is trash. So eat a dick and drift into a wall.
Aww how cute. You know how to post a photoshop.
You're a fucking douche. Face it, you will never be as cool as me or Jay.
OOOK WOW, u have 68posts and drive a G20..OOOK Im impressed never seen those before. AHH u got some primiera Badges. Ahh u threw a little turbo on there as well...REAL Nice neverr seen those before. Ah well since we are regarding taste. Ill call u out right now and see how much taste your g20 has regarding to moving. Watch your mouth u fucking scrub, ive seen you before and met some of your otehr ser buddies who dont post on here. Since when did this kids cars become the topic of discussion?
Who gives a shit if its a good idea to you or not, its his car he wants traga top..let him get one. how u gonna tell someeone whats tasteless on their car. Someone disagrees, and kid tries to rag on someones ride...HILARIOUS!

You wouldn't do shit if we said shit to your face. I saw you at the drift event while you kept spinning out. You weren't shit. So don't think you are.
And these FWD cars would bust the ass of your RWD ugly ass piece of shit 240.
So seriously, die.
go for it it will look hot
honestly...how many turbo 5-speed, p11 g20's have you seen?
Yea I was on the sidelines. I'd look over and see you while you watched your car get drifted. Then you'd get in it and spin out around every turn.
I'd have rather been on the sidelines. Drifting isn't my cup of tea. I owned a s13, way cleaner then your ride. Sold it tho.
I know there are quite a few Boosted G20's i mean anything with a sr20 is easy to boost. But who cares where talkin about this guys 240.
Yes, but he didn't turbo the stock motor.
but it's not a boosted stock motor. It's a complete motor swap....
"anything with an sr20 is easy to boost" so you mean just se-r's and g20's; because they're the only thing to come with sr20's in america...
Well in that case....i guess not. Whats P11?
it's the newer model g20, which most people wont buy and tear the motor out to put a turbo motor into it. Most people that mod g20's do the p10 which is like the poor man's g20.
i know its the newer model, the nice models, like what 98-00? Whats in it Bluebird? Those top mount motors?
not a bluebird, and I have no fucking clue what a top mount motor is. Must be a mazda thing, but nissan's motors are mounted on the front of the car and not the top.
Weird...youve never seen a motor with the intercooler MOUNTED on TOP? Isnt there a nissan 4cyl with a top mounted Intercooler?
The pulsar GTIR motor?

Bluebirds and pulsars had top mounted intercoolers.
The avenir had a sidemount, thats the motor Jay has.
Is the aavenir a different motor? IOr just a variation of the sr20?
It is a version of the sr20, comes with a sidemount intercooler and a different type of t25. It is a newer motor.
