Pete Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 About time someone had a decent stab at it. There was one around a few years ago on supra forums, but it didn't really go into production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Would that help the handling problems associated with the aerotop supras, or is it just for show and 'weight saving'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Would that help the handling problems associated with the aerotop supras, or is it just for show and 'weight saving'? It's been years (about 8) since I had a damn good look at an aerotop so I could well be talking bollocks but isn't that just a reskin of the stock item? I only mention it because of the Toyota logo on the interior, but more than happy to be proved wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Would that help the handling problems associated with the aerotop supras, or is it just for show and 'weight saving'? Bit of an urban myth IMHO - they are not that bad - not sure that anyone would get an aero for serious track work anyway...? I find the Sparco harness bar works a treat to combat any flexing with the roof off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLicense Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Would that help the handling problems associated with the aerotop supras, or is it just for show and 'weight saving'? Nah, compared to any flex you'd get at the fixings to the rest of the car, you could have an infinitely stiff roof, but it still wouldn't make any difference.

AndrewOW Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 ...or from Nic Oooh. I do know people do criticise the aerotop's handling capabilities, but I know I lose traction before I feel any real 'flex' going on in the car, and I'm using relatively new F1 tyres. Maybe if the car's been set up properly, you shouldn't suffer too much. Obviously, this hasn't been tested on a track (which I'm not willing to do), but its definitely not that noticeable during any normal 'spirited' driving. The car feels great even with the roof off and windows down, and the sound... mmm lovely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Would that help the handling problems associated with the aerotop supras, or is it just for show and 'weight saving'? When the roof is bolted in, Aerotops don't have any more handling problems than the hardtop. I think I have fair experience in this department as we've had 4 Supras, 2 hardtops and 2 aerotops in the last 6 1/2 years. Yes, with the roof out, there is a major difference, obviously. But with it bolted in, you'd be hard pushed to tell the difference between the two. (If you could tell at all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraGirlie Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I wouldn't of said there is a "major difference" when the roof is off! I really want one of these cf aero tops!! There must be a company in the uk that will make them up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieren1234 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 They look really nice. wish i had an aero top :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraGirlie Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 bumping this thread up as I have just noticed these on eBay.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Toyota-Supra-93-98-Carbon-Fiber-Roof-Targa-Top-Tops_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em122QQcategoryZ107058QQihZ018QQitemZ280212098431QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD2V Any aero top owners going to buy one? Or does anyone already have one on here? Would be interesting to know if there is any difference and if it is a perfect fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I was thinking that maybe a nice 'red' aerotop with a TRD carbon 'blade' spoiler, a carbon bonnet, would really look the business with one of these. GZAeroJon's car for example I don't know why I suggested his, but its a very nice show car (when its clean ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 ...I really want one of these cf aero tops!! There must be a company in the uk that will make them up? There are plenty, but you'd need a spare mint condition roof to make moulds from, and have deep pockets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CoolsBlue Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 hmm no pics of it fitted to a supra, so id wait for someone to by it, seeing how they get on with fitting the original clips, rubbers and liner etc..hmm bottom is fibreglass, if the bonnets are known to flip up with screws tapped into them holding the bonnet clip, id worry about the roof to..aero roof pins anyone?

TrickTT Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Would that help the handling problems associated with the aerotop supras, or is it just for show and 'weight saving'? Is that the same "weight saving" you get with a carbon bonnet? The aero roof is ally skin over a light steel skeleton and very light if you take the liner out.

TNT Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 What weight savings, its in the back, and as it rains everytime I take it off there is no way I'm leaving it behind. CF does look nice though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
