Eclipse Targa

[bighauns]

Hey!

I just found out that there is a european production car that is like the 1G Eclipse/Talon that has a targa top. I was just wondering if anyone has done or has heard of a conversion for doing this??

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks
Alex

There's the European 1g you guys are talking about...

Dre99GSX from Tuners did a ridiculously badass targa conversion to his 500+whp 2g GSX.

that 2g looks so sick being a targa top, i want it done!!!!!

[bighauns]

do you guys know if there is any kits for it, or do you just have to custom fabricate the whole thing or what isthe scoop??

I have a 1G and I really want to do that. I have said since I bought it "I wish it had a targa top" and when I found out it actaully existed, i was amazed.

Oh, and thumbs up on that 2G Targa, is that just you doin the work or how did you pull that off?

It's not mine; it belongs to a dude named Andre, username Dre99GSX on DSMTuners.com. He did the custom job himself, from what I've heard, including building his own rollcage and support beams.

Looks like $$$ to me... Unless you know how to do that and have your own tools.

its also a lot more complicated then just cutting out the roof. you also need to add either a rollcage or some kind of frame supports otherwise your frame will flex too much since the roof is part of the support sytem for the whole car.

what i want to see is convertable 1g. i want to try but i dont have the time now maybe in a few years :dreams of a 1g AWD turbo spyder:

i think they should of made the 2g's targa rather than convertible.

plus i beleive he used supra targa seals too i think

hey heres my try at a 1g spyder. the front has the custom headlights that i want to make if anybody's interested. i know the drawing sucks but its the best i could do with mspaint lol. the spyder would need a full roll cage too but i had a hard enough time drawing the interior no less adding a roll cage
