![]() ![]() Plus the local mr2 club meets every 2nd Sunday I think it is. Like Mclaren Ferrari Classic rod movie car awesome. I find most of the fun in the build and transformation of the car.ģ.5 hours isn't far at all for around here! There is a cars and coffee meet here every sat morning that is usually awesome. Keep the car and get a little pickup, turbo kit, K24a2, or another vehicle. If I didn't like convertibles id yank out the convertible top and frame like some others for sure because I appreciate the weight reduction and clean look the interior then has. I have enjoyed the extra quiet that it brings to the cockpit, plus the feel and look, but I'm used to noisy cars and motorcycles so I'll be ok. 2002 MR2 Spyder Spectra Blue Hardtop Turbo Cornfed/COLOR 1/4 mile - 11.78117MPH A MILE HIGH:iconeek: 2011 BMW 335i. ![]() I havent had any fade issues with them either. They are good for autocross, and have minimal dust. I put a brand new cloth top on the car after I bought it so I see this is an extra IMO since the car still looks great without it. I have dimpled and slotted rotors, and pbr/axxis ultimate pads. I'm getting rid of extras to help me get to that point. The reason I'm selling is because I'm trying to get to a point of decision about the car. The hardtop definitely makes the car and brings it to another level. I don't need to sell so lowballs will be laughed at. There was a guy near me that had a lexan window available. This is perfect for that rare piece on a show quality car or for a racer wanting the ultimate in lightness. I will also include custom hooks to hang the top from when not in use. I really haven't had much to go by, but this is surely the nicest cf top I've ever seen. I could meet you CA guys or girls an hour or so toward you if you didn't feel like coming into Vegas for a night and hanging out. Price- ? I have in mind at least OEM figures so let's just say 2,900 OBO. I will add pics soon, but there are many in my build thread. My car sits inside the garage most every day and seldom sits in the sun. The rear of the headliner has dropped down a bit, but was only held by double sided tape or Velcro. It has full Toyota OEM interior (headliner, trim, seals etc) and Oem rear window with defroster cable included. I'll be ordering some when I order my hardtop fitting parts (roughly monthly), so PM me for availability.I'm thinking of parting with my carbon fiber hardtop. Don't bother ordering from your local or online USA Toyota dealer, we tried that for months with no success. In hindsight, a heat gun would probably have made the inner curve go easier. The pic above may look done, but had several such flat spots. Any 'flat' spots (run your hand over it, you'll know what I mean) are good candidates for water leaks. The curved part is tough, it'll give your thumbs a good workout (arthritics need not apply). Now start installing from the front back. Take the time now to wipe down the surface it's also a really good time to treat the rubber weatherstripping with your choice of rubber protectant. Almost guaranteed some paint will come off with it, but it will be covered by the new part. Just carefully pull the protector strip off starting at the front (pull down and out). I started out removing the weatherstripping, then quickly realized I didn't have to. A regular screwdriver or putty knife could be useful too, but I didn't use them.įirst, remove the old part. No better place to start than with my own hardtop, so why not make it into a 'how to' as well? Along the way while doing this I discovered a few things I did not know about the weatherstripping on the hardtop, and how to ensure against leaks. I've finally found a source for the 'protectors' that does not charge an arm and a leg (with apologies to those that I've supplied these to in the past, at the cost of arms and legs). and they are not available separately from Toyota. These are little plastic end pieces that are glued on to the "side garnish protector" for the hardtop weatherstripping. ![]() More and more hardtops are missing one or both of the little "triangles" that complete the weatherstripping between the hardtop and the A-piller (see pic below, marked with paint). ![]()
