Lambo doors

[hillery69]

I have been on the US RX forum and they have been talking about a kit to convert the doors into Lambo style using just a set of uprated hinges, the kit costs $1900. I have seen the RE Amemiya kit and they use lighter doors and rams to lift the door not hinges. I know Garry had his doors converted I was wondering how he had it done and any pics.

Thanks

I\'ve been wondering about this conversion for a long time now.
I was gonna do it on my crx, but things have changed and now, and i want them on the RX7:D

$1900 seems quite expensive for the kit tho.

try //www.decah.com

I\'ve been talking to a kitcar builder up here, and he reckons he can make a kit up for any car...for a lot less than the $1900 on that US site.

I\'ll let you know when i get my RX, as this is one of the first cosmetic mods i would like to do.

Dan!!

Before you go to far with this, make sure the kit biulder will garentee the fitment WITHOUT ripping your car apart. ie will you still be able to use your door linings how much moddification to the doors will you have to do. So many people sell goods to fit a car or as they say universal, which normally means, spent enough money on the job and it will eventually fit.
The doors on an fd have to come out and then up, its not straight forward.
Times what your looking at by 10 and that is what my doors have cost and a lot of very clever work and months of trials to get what is now a nearly finished job.
Just be very carefull.

O yeah, i appreciate how much work is involved, the guy makes the kits up himself, he doesnt really use a universal kit as such, he makes up the hinges, base plates, uses the right hydraulic lifts etc etc.
Theres a serious amount of engineering and maths involved with this conversion, and a lot of work.

Is your conversion almost done G11ARY?
Was it a kitcar builder thats done yours...or a local bodyshop?
Is it being done to your current yellow RX7..or have you another RX project?
Deffo post some pics please once it is done...cant wait to see it!

There is a kit that you can use the doors as normal, or pop them up as scissor doors
I\'ll try and find the website again.

Cheers,
dan!!
