Added some pics...The number on the scales is in Kgs....this is about 15% of the standard doors.

AtomicRex

Holy cow! Now that is special.

Are they full carbon fibre doors or just your old ones re-skinned in carbon.
do you have any contact details for Amber performace, do get those doors?

AtomicRex

Oh no...none of the original door kept!  They were too heavy!!

The outer skins are carbon and the insides are GRP.....but they are very are a very good copy!  Not sure what the fit is like at the moment...but it look pretty good!  It has all of the bolt holes etc for fitting the locks and handles

Gonna be even better with the lexan windows in!!!!!

AtomicRex

oh and James\'s number is 01582 664 735

Id be very grateful if you\'d tell him that I passed on the details to you :)

They are a nice bit of kit,  you must almost be under that ton!

Are they 15% lighter than the stock doors or do they weigh 15% of what the stock door weighs.

You would have to have a cage to fit these, (which you obviously have) as the stock car is so weak and flimsey that when the door is shut it keeps the chassis straight.  If you jack up one corner of the car with the doors open the doors wont shut properly!

That\'s the way to do it! :Thumbsup!

1900 for doors ... WOW ... sohgsouhgosgsgvhyivbwonhmektjuj

sorry couldnt type and fall off my chair at the same time :D :D

you could do with writing up a list of what weight you have saved so far to help other people on here

you have proved my theory wrong though .. its cheaper to make a car lighter than faster ... not with the price of those doors :D :D

What weight are the doors in Fiberglass and what cost.
Just thinking if you have an off it will be an expensive one. The off would not be your fault, oil, kitty tray litter contents, mud or just a pushy Hog.:2Confused

I wouldn\'t think using grp doors without a cage and door bars would be safe :eek

They are some expensive doors! Who made them? Reading through an RX-7 Magazine I came across some for £880 (currently with 10% off so that should cover shipping) for carbon and £528 for FRP left and right...

Said the carbon doors were 6 kilometer (great translation :Giggle ) stock are 27.
