Got to thinking how awesome this car was in the mid 90s...

Any members on this board have one? The targa design is one of my favorites and i wish more manufacturers would revisit this setup for a coupe.

These look so damn sexy when its tastefully modded.

Any photos you guys have would be appreciated.

(Sorry, this thread is currently a bit worthless)

 

I liked the 90's model. And I agree, when modded tastefully, is an awesome looking little sporty car.

 

I've got a 92 Turbo with the T tops (they didn't do Targa on the MR2, only the Supra) and I love it. This is a car that has literally captured my heart and I hope to keep it for many many years. I've got to replace the turbo after 154,000 miles (original turbo, its had an easy life) and am debating between going for a little upgrade or keeping it stock as I do autocross it. If you come across one and have the means, I highly recommend it, 93+ if you can find it as it has some upgrades that are worth it.

 

dont t-tops=targa???

 

If i'm not mistaken, the T-Top is a 2 panel design, leaving the frame/shell of the body in between the two panels, forming a "T" in between. The Targa roof is a single panel that gets taken off, with no framing above the driver and passenger.

 

Agreed.

 

my bro has a 91 or 92 turbo t-top. dunno much about it other than he hasnt been able to drive it much because theres always something wrong with it

 

I've always thought they were really cool looking little cars, too. Kind of like a JDM Ferrari 308 or something. I'm sure just like Supra's finding an unabused stock example will be nearly impossible.

 

They're a blast to drive. It feels like a go kart.... ultra low to the ground, very responsive and with mods they haul ass. My brother has a stock 91 Turbo, but like Infamous said, there's always something wrong with it so he's not driving it. They're also a pain in the ass to work on. Expect around or even more than $10,000 for a good condition low mileage Turbo.

And t-tops aren't the same as a targa, see Shoofin's post, spot on. I prefer t-tops over a targa. Some older targa cars feel like a wet noodle with the targa off as far as rigidity is concerned.
