So I bought a set of Targa braces awhile back and finally installed them. They mount on the shoulder and floor mounts of the front seatbelt and use the existing bolts. So I did a test to see if they actually worked.
This is what they look like.
here is a measurement when the Targa is on 4 wheels down…
As targa owners know, when the rear end is lifted from the rear lifting point (front on the rear wheel well), the rear end droops a little… you can tell by the gap of the door and body. Notice the measurement difference when the rear end is up...
Dropped the car back down and installed the brace… and tightened it up by shortening the brace.
lifted the rear end again and took another measurement… So it works, not perfect but it is a little stiffer.
brought the car back down and took another measurement..
I guess in time it will loosen and of course you have to tighten it... Im gonna keep an eye on this mod to see if a like it... Take it for what it is…
Where did you get these? Also, where did you get the exhaust baffles? Can you post links?
So I wanted to lower the Targa a bit, but got frustrated with the OEM spring plate lowering bolt... and got the ER spring plate. So much easier for height adjustment.
Just get the weight off the spring plate, turn the allen bolt and tighten the main bolt.
Used the ghetto wheel alignment method for a quick look.
I may lower it a bit more, but Im happy with how it sits for now... Its so much easier to dial in the height now.
wanted a clean look at the front seating area, modified a front mount fire extinguisher to a rear mount. Plenty of room even with the sub-woofer underneath, yet still easy access to the extinguisher with one hand from the driver seat.
Installed one of these Rothsport one way valve... seems to be fine as far as flow is concerned. I know its a controversial mod, but my car sits for the winter. Let the discussion begin!
