[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]<!-- google_ad_section_start -->That is one awesome looking X Tony. I'm planning on my 82 to have that all blacked out look next year. I do have two questions about you rear window. First, do you get the smell of the engine when you drive, and second do you have anything to put in its place if needed. As for mine it can be seen as car of the month(Jan 2001) at the UK X1/9 club

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]<!-- google_ad_section_start -->Nice ride James...

I read your post and pulled up the fotos thinking it was from Turbo Pete. Something didn't look right!

As for the rear window...

1. Smell, yes and no... more. I repaired all leaks from oil and gas lines.

2. Noise... yes and yes... I also removed the inner liner from the engine cover so there is no baffling and you can seee the engine right through the top of it. I use a bit of STP for valve noise... tightened all belts and plastic covers, got rid of anything unnecessary.

I can also hear the carb sing and a great exhaust note...

3. Heat... yes and yes... if smell and noise can come through... so does the engine heat, which can escape more freely now. Keeps ya warm on these winter days... On the hot days, its not too noticiable cause its already hot...

4. Water... if heat smell and noise can come in... guess what!

5. I will be re-installing the window at a reverse angle this summer and probably use an electric actuator. (It appears that there are too many restrictions in the engine compartment... Behind the seats going up may just work.) There are just some times I want to be normal... But most of the time I like the openess of the Targa Bar as a true "convertable".

This is my "fair weather" car... and thank God we have a lot of fair weather out here!

Later,



Tony<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]<!-- google_ad_section_start -->Hi all!

The Saratoga top is so named because of the name of the manufacturer, who was named after city in New York where they were originally located. The top is tinted plexiglass formed to the shape of your targa top. Every Xhead I know (including myself) would love to get their mitts on one, unfortunately, as Pottsy says, they're "as rare as rocking horse sh*t!" Now THAT IS rare!

A note on the SOCAR kit (it was called the Bertone Corsa package here in the States), I heard last summer or so that the complete kit was still available from SOCAR themselves, in Italy. Never did investigate that claim, but if you're all that serious you might try contacting them through Bertone -Mac.

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]<!-- google_ad_section_start -->I'm talking to that guy about how much it would cost to make them using my kit as a mold. Please Email me if you are interested and how much you figure you would pay. As for saratoga tops, Ferrigan-O'Brien from Troy New Your is no longer in business. The Saratoga name is used by another company and mentions the X1/9 in their ads. Why they can't make few for us I will never know. But If they don't want to, I could make some on my own, with some other options (Clear and smoke). Hey why not. I want this stuff and so do all of you. So if enough of us gain interest in this we can make it happen.
Later,
James

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial]<!-- google_ad_section_start -->....I just want a feel for who would be interested in such a project. I just want to produce enough units to cut costs down. The Corsa kit was a $1200 option back in 87. A little too high if you ask me. Personally I think they could have done a better job for the money. The fiberglass isn't as durable as on other kits for other cars. It's very brittle. As for the tops, I'm working on that too. There is no reason a top should run past $500. No wonder why there aren't many around.
If anybody is interested please let me know. I'm not sure of the cost right now, but I'll figure all that out soon. I post what I find later this week.

I think it would be great to make a smoked top it it's doable as a home project! Seems like the hard part would be the bending of the main piece, the rest should be gluing on formed blocks to mount the latches and seals.

Anyone here done plastic forming before?<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
