staples230uk Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Having had my NA now for the last year and a half, which I love to bits. I am now craving an aerotop. Just a question basically to find out what they are like on a day to day basis. Have done a search and read all about the leaks and fixes. Not looking to change for a while, winter is around the corner (or already here lol) etc etc. Having been to a few events and seeing a few aerotops....including hodge's, I just thought it would be cool to have the supra experience with the roof off. Is it worth changing? Cheers guys and girls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 IMO yes. I dont see any reason to buy an Auto N/A and not an Auto Aero N/A. Mine does not leak, i might do a drop or two in real bad weather, but driving it around in the summer out weighs all that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l33wgn Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 picking mine up next week so will let you no then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamaSupra Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I don't use mine in the wet weather as my Aero is kept in the garage and used as my summer weekend car. But when I wash it it's never leaked any water through the roof It's great fun cruising about with the roof off, and because you can put the roof back on you get the best of both worlds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraGZaerotop Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 theyre great cars mate, go for it, with the roof on they just as solid as a hardtop car, with it off, well you'l get use to it, theres bit of skuttle shake over the more uneven roads, i know theres people that like um or hate um, but for me its the supra to have, if funds are there get the twin turbo, nice day, roof off = Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraGZaerotop Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 exactly like mine, hardly anything. really really bad down pour and ive got a little drip from the passenger window where it meets the aero, saying that, ive now treated the seal with autoglym rubber condition followed by a coating of silicone spray around the rubbers, and nothing at, dry as a bone.IMO yes.

marc_p Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I love mine, although the last time I took it out, it has somehow developed a really annoying rattle from the locking mechanism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Do you really want people pointing at Chris Moyles and throwing rotten fruit at you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Do you really want people pointing at Chris Moyles and throwing rotten fruit at you? yes, yes he does... On a different note, time to get a TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Supra_07 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 The only down fall to them is the extra wight and the loss of rigidness with the roof off, but if your keeping it N/A ull never have an isuse with that. i only started notising it more when i singled mine. other then that there realy good and would req getting one.

staples230uk Posted September 25, 2011 Author Share Posted September 25, 2011 yes, yes he does... On a different note, time to get a TT Cheers Harvard, will roll with the punches or the rotten veg lol! Saving the pennies at the mo si, so still a while to go, but there are a few tt aeros knocking around. Thanks for everyone's input so far, just have to see what the next year brings.

How much chassis reinforcement did you do? Ultraracing do most of the under car bracing you need which fix most chassis flex issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I've had my TT aero for over 5 years now, and going topless is just the best! I'm looking forward to this nice weather that's been forecast this week to get it off, and going for a blast here and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakey Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I've never had a major problem with leaking from mine, only when it's really really wet. Fun when its sunny.... not so much when its raining. As for rigidity when the roof is on, it's not too bad. You can still jack the front up and the rear wheel will lift too. Not been on the track with it though. With the roof off.... Well you can feel the flex and the windscreen shakes on bumpy ground (at least mine does!!)
