alot of work
you could base it off a crx kinda
it will weaken your chassies alot without it on and where will you store it
the crx has a special compartment for it
i think your thinking too big champ
u rekon? like ive already got a sunroof? how wuld it weakin it? n its been done to otha cars
Didn’t you play with lego when you were young? Build a structure with 2 walls and a roof. Try and simulate car forces by pushing it with one finger from the side of one wall. Now do the same with the roof missing. You'll find it easily collapses. Your integra's performance will suffer greatly. The car will have to endure bending forces during cornering, accelerating and braking and it won’t have enough torsional rigidity.Quote:

Just go buy a crx. It has been done properly by the manufacturer. Plus, 4 seater convertibles are just wrong...
the roof is a structual part of the car, chop it with out reinforcing the chassis and your car will bannana on you, you wont be able to close the doors.Quote:

convertible tegra looks lik SH!T. I reckon a Targa one would look gay.
Leave it as it is and spend the money on the engine. You'll have more fun with a fast car then a slow one without a roof.
convertable looks ghey, but i think targa would look interesting... anybody willing to photoshop one?
you would probably spend more money than what the car is actually worth. go buy some shares instead :) :)
Here is pic i found of a convertible LS in the States

yeh looks way better then the otha 1 but wuldnt do it, if nethin id do targa if it wuld b all good to do it.
if integras were meant to be convertible or targa they would come with that option. but they didnt
bro u havnt seemed to grasp the concept of this environment.
and u obviously dont want to be a member for very long.
u start a thread asking for opinions and ive given u mine.
as i did in ur other stupid thread.
not everyone has to agree with what your saying. if everyone liked the same thing then everyone would be driving around in convertible integras, but reality is that we dont. stop bitchin and talk about hondas!!!!!
and to answer your question.
NO they werent meant for other engines, thats why mods need to be done to accomodate those engines when they are changed, ie, mounts, brake upgrades, sussy upgrades etc.
as if u made an integra convertible u would need sum serious mods to handle it
im the one making sense, ur the one talkin shit
i didnt say to make the integra a convertible i just showd a pic of it n askd wat u think bout it, my question was to make the teg a targa roof, so mayb read the question n understand it proply n there wont b no misunderstandings 4 the future wen u read my threads :)
it can e done.... anthing can be done... u wil just need to reinforce the rest of the car...... will cost u shit loads and take forever to find sumone who can do it... i reon u just put a integra front end on a crx????
haha na thats alot of work 2, neways it was just a thought of doin it wuld b mad, but then the money comes into it, n will b heaps to do it, n in73gz wen u wana comment just answer the question n stop makin other comments like that. also these r my q's i want to ask.
