The top half of the 'Convertable RX-7's top can be removed, without having to put down the rear half. Thus, making it a "Targa"

Section of the roof that can be taken out. Similar to some Supra's, Corvettes, and the NSX-T.

There is no factory T-top like the older Supras and MR2's had, but the front section of the convertible's roof can be removed while the rear half stays up, which gives basically the same effect.

What kind of structual support did you give the car in order to achive this. LOOKS GREAT!!! I was just wondering about any chassis flex since the roof was a definite structual member. Again, it looks great!!!

haven't had any flex, minimal support, 2 rails underneath, and the 3 point roll bar, the cassis is goign to get so tube steel welded underneath eventually, the targa is in no way perfect yet, but once i get the changes made its gunna be the best

definatley looks nice. I actually thought about it, but couldn't justify the loss in structural integrity to have a little more airflow and sun in the car.

yeah, looks too much like a supra to me. Awesome job, but I'd rather keep mine the way it is.

Wait a minute didn't you buy your RX-7 like that already? SO technicaly it wouldn't be copying YOU. Just messin with ya. But i want to do this very bad except i'd use convertible doors and the convertible targa section, at least for its latches seals and stuff.
