Sounds like you bought the car before you knew what you wanted.
Put your cheese into the engine first. The targas have added reinforcements that the coupe doesn't. So you would have alot more flex once you start flucking with its structural integrity. |

Ya if you wanted that noise you should have searched longer.
If you were content with your buy you wouldn't be trying to frankenstien it. Ya follow. Live with it how it is because I promise you. You have problems that you have yet to learn about. These cars drive sweet. Even when they have non-showing issues. Good Luck. You may just be a supraholic if you can handle the highs and the lowes. |

i had recently read on supramania that on the older supras the sun roofs were actually an option from the dealership, not the factory. this means the original owners wanted a sun roof, the dealership sends out for the supra, then the dealership installs the sun roof... on the later mk3s the came from the factory with sun roofs

Yeah they also had the exact same sunroof on Hondas, thats where I got mine from when my original seal went bad. I put it in my suitcase and brought it back here with me and it seals great, this next vacation Im getting the sunroof motor cause mine needs a slight push on the sunroof to get it going.
