Good to see you tearing up the streets up there. Dig the sound of the starter and I detect a slightly different turbo flutter sound. Is that a result of your air filter being so close to the turbo? Nice!

Damn I have to get my motor done. Thanks for the ride. Lit the fire again!
So I need to share this. Right at the beginning I noticed your door was open and I thought to myself "It's a T Top car. I bet the door won't close right" When you had to open and re-close it I started cracking up. This is my life too since I am also T tops. The DS window is dead on, but the passenger side the same way and I'll never get it right. Very cool video though!

Nice! I bet there aren't too many folks with other cars out there, whose owners get a kick out of a go-po ride a long in a car similar to theirs! However, that's the beauty of these cars and this forum. Pretty freaking cool I'd say!!
I saw the video on my app and had to log in to see what your mods are. Because the car sounds wicked! And man that horse sneeze is crazy loud! Thanks for sharing, way cool!!!

Yep, that's what the horse sneeze sounds like when running speed density. Filter is on a straight pipe just long enough to clear the up pipe and fuel pressure transducer. It's embarrasingly loud.
Funny you say that because when I was reviewing the video, I thought to myself, "Every. Damn. Time." Too little pull and door only latches on the first latch. Too much pull and you're slamming the door closed. I've got it as good as it will get with adjusting the door strikers, greasing them and adjusting the t-top seals.
FYI, if you take the t-tops off and remove the handle and plastic cover, you can remove the seal portion (two screws) and the channel that the seal rides in is adjustable. I have all new weatherstripping and seals, so if you have original stuff on there, it might not be as easy. I did quite a bit of "massaging" of the seals to get them where they need to be after getting it back from the body shop. The repro stuff isn't terrible but does leave things to be desired in some spots.

There's a thread on here somewhere on all the bracing and what not that stops the flexing. Or at least lessens the severity anyways, that I had it saved on my old computer. However, we flooded last August so I'll have to see if I can find it on my phone by chance. I'll see if I can find it.

It is at that, I have nearly the same setup and it sneezes all of the time. Placing a Tornado in the pipe just before the turbo softens the sound. But without it the sound is sharp and very noticeable.
