I was just wondering if taking the targas off and in the boot is of any use....i ask this as wont it increase drag...also doesnt the windows down have the same effect.....im talking obviously at a higher speed as in highway etc i noticed that my other car lexus gs300 makes a defening noise, ie the wind does when i have only the rear windows down, dont know the theory behind that.....
LOL.....but im not sure now if i want to hear music in expense 2 a turbo car...especially the BOV.....dam i dont even have a trumpet on mine as if can also be plumbed back.......so it sounds good like over 4000rpm which i very rarly take the car to....especially in this heat at around 3000-3500 it flutters thou......
oh the flutter of bovs oh believe me i have 1 x 1100 watt sub amp and 1x 1500 watt speaker amp and you can still hear my exhaust over the stereo,(just).i hate the sound of bov's anyway,but each to his own
SUMMER BREEZE,MAKES ME FEEL FINE Spot on,theres nothing like squirting it through the mountains on a warm night,targa's off and the music pumping .It makes you realise why we own such a beautiful car(DID IT LAST NIGHT ACTUALLY,GREAT FUN)
To actually answer your question, yes taking the targas off will greatly increase drag and the same goes with the windows.
Luvin it Best car ever to cruise with at night compared to holden thrashboxes my mates refuse to let go.... But I have my amp 1600W bose attached to my car under the carpets in the boot so that it heat sinks onto the cars body ps i dont want idiots seeing and trying to break in.
ibbi .. targas off is the way to go .. just magic in this northern segment of god's own .. but a tip .. play around with your two windows height .. you will find a level to suit just where you are at for a particular mood/ cruise/ music/ around town .. whatever .. i have my favorite window settings for each of these .. there is no one setting .. try it, you will like it .. as the actress said to ....... ???
ITS FOR MEEEEEEE Mine hides under the shade blind,but i didnt want to hide it as i want to see it,and the car is only a toy for us,it only goes out on a nice evening,shit wouldnt want to wear it out now,JUST ABOUT TO PUT A BODYKIT ON IT ,SO IT CAN HAVE A HOLIDAY FOR A FEW WEEKS lol
i read once in a manufacturer's handbook, that having bothe front windows down 2 inches reduces fuel economy by 2mpg at 100kays, imagine what the targa's do !!!
maybe true,maybe not mythbusters did a thing on that last year,but the car with the windows down,went further than the one that had them up,go figure
Yes, correct. The mythbusters experiment was comparing driving with your window open to driving with the air con on. Above 70 put the air con on, below 70 windows down. I drove up the coast with the targas off once, wont be doing that again anytime soon, got sunburnt, half deafened and used a lot more fuel than usual
haha...i recon this generation is going to need hearing aids for sure......think of our loud exhaust and subs....ouch
