have see 'Fast and Furious' on dvd again yesterday, i know i'm sad tongue.gif

just a question to you guys, can you cut the roof of a celica and form a removable roof section like the supra in the film, i've seen these supras around !
and they where a standard from Toyota... but not a celica spec'

i don't know, but i think it could make a smart mod' to a ride !!

what do you guy think, and can it be done ????

Its the stress points tho- where are you going to attach that extra weight? Where is the weight going to flow to? Etc etc

I haven't looked up close at how the top goes down, but most of the weight would rest where the back of the hardtop would connect to the car, with some of the weight resting on the convertible's [re-inforced] a-pillars.

I have to agree with Shid. You also take into affect of wind resistance.  Figuring a Targa on a Celica would act like a big parachute dragging behind the car.

I wasn't thinking targa top, but more a removable hard top. wink.gif
