35922, lambo doors (got an insight) Posted by widebodyeclipse, Dec-05-02 10:22 AM
hey all i know that we have all been waiting on various places to come out with a kit for out cars. well i have the solution, i chatted with a guy around feb about making a kit that would be easy to adapt of virtually any car, we conversed alittle and with his knowledge of fiero kit cars came up with a kit. it does require some welding and stuff but can be put on just about anything. i about fell out. what i have been waiting for. the kit comes with everything 2 hinges shocks and all the mounts to make it happen. it even has pics and good instructions and some tips to installing it. im gonna get the 2nd set. he already has 1 kit in play on a fiero. the funny thing is he manufactures these hinges for various kit car companies and so he modded the hinge alittle. he also said that there is companies that get his hinges for theirs. so the decah kit will use them. best of all he said that hed get the kit to me for like 900. i was like wow sounds definately better than 1500 for something that will never come out. just figured id let u all know who have been patiently awaiting a glimmer of light on the subject. let me know if any of u want some so i can let him know just how popular this is. ben

he said to get about 3 or 4 peeps so he could get those brackets made all at once at the machine shop. he said he has to do them in 3 or more so the cost of all the set up will even out to cost around 900 for the kit. you will have to get access to a welder and that will be alittle work but not as much as we have now. so let me know if you want it. email me direct and we will keep tabs. shit this is ben blacks lambo shop :) at least it is ready to go.

You are correct.....and suicide doors ar old school....but sometimes old school is better then new school...hyeheheee plus it would look downright crazy seeing a little car like the mitsubishi eclipse roll up and watch the doors swing opposite

Can you imagine droppin' your chick off at the front of a club while you park. The broken necks! hydraulic door bling finally coming our way!

I just hope theres no funny shit like our 60mm group buy. $900 is cheap for the idea but a lot to screw around with in a purchase.

35940, RE: lambo doors (got an insight) Posted by ez, Dec-06-02 05:44 AM
when you guys get those working let us know how well they seal up. It looks like a cool idea but I really doubt you'll get your windows to seal correctly and you'll get mad wind noise. hope it works out

35941, RE: lambo doors (got an insight) Posted by widebodyeclipse, Dec-06-02 09:28 AM
boys i am tryn to line it all out with him. all that is interested and ready to go please do me a favor and email me at widebodyeclipse@hotmail.com. he faxed me over the directions and looks good. those of u ready to go email me a fax number and u can look at it too. he said that it seals up very good on the fiero that he tested this design on. he has designed about 5 different hinges over the years and he loves this. suicide doors is played out. when u see everything from a mustand to a pinto opening up that way u know u got probs. besides none of us can afford the real lambo so shit i will run with this. i feel like a kid in a candy store. :) oh yeah how many shows do u go to and see suicide doors, forget the big ones even the country ones have em. never seen lambos in person. except on the plaza but im no ceo... this is for real. email me thanks for the support im gonna check my email tonight and tomorrow all those leave me a number to contact you and i will pass on what i know.... ben

35943, RE: lambo doors (got an insight) Posted by BuckNutty, Dec-06-02 06:56 PM
well....they sell fiero door kits like whoa, and since fiero's are used commonly in lamborghini kit cars, then i am sure it is relatively easy to get them to work. See if he can post up some pics, or e-mail out directions so we can actually see it works, if they are of sound quality and whatnot, I am definately down. How much would shipping be to 06360 on em?? :thumbsup.

35944, RE: lambo doors (got an insight) Posted by jdpilot, Dec-07-02 12:19 AM

its interesting to see the response on these. also it seems that it is interesting that other companies are starting to notice what we want. so i have been contacted by another company making a kit. from the talk on the phone they are on the move and seem to have a good design. supposed to talk to him on wednesday to see how it is going. buck and pilot and myself along with a few others are working on getting this hooked up. street dreams is the first one i have been chattn with. he said that he has to modify the kit. from us talking so that it would adapt to this car. hes talking like 800 for the upgraded kit. not sure if that is sent or not. but i want to make sure it holds our doors up and not fall. know what i mean. so look at piolots post and look at the design and let me know what u think. any ideas to make it better is welcomed. ben

35948, RE: lambo doors (got an insight) Posted by BuckNutty, Dec-08-02 03:47 AM
I believe that in order for these hinges to work on our cars, one would have to trim the bottom left of the door. If you notice, on lamborghini's, the bottom left of the door is designed to be shorter then the top left. This is done so that the bottom part of the door does not hit up against the rear quarter panel of the car. So, we would have to trim the door, and then fill in the hoel that is left. I believe that due to the way our windows seal, one owuld have to get the door to pop out horizontally before the door could be lifted vertically. So i believe you would need to put the hinge on a slider and have a popper, or something similar to pop the door out so you could then push/pull it up. I believe it can be done with these hinges, but its gonna be alot more then jus putting them on and altering a couple things. If I had the time, i KNOW i could get it to work. But i am not all about butchering my car at this moment in time, and i don't have an extra $1k layin around just in case i am wrong.

buck u r exactly right. from talking to him and if you look at a fiero door (link that piolot did) the door actually pops out like an inch. and then slides up. knowing that it would clear our frame on the rear of the door. he also said that it could be adjusted to pop out more if we needed them to. i was curious about that also. im not into hacking up anymore. as for guine pig farm, look at the video feed on that sight and see how it all works. this isnt for the faint of heart, this mod is very unique. thats y i love it so because not many have it. the hinge work and brackets have all bee layed out and he did all the experimantation so we dont have to. as long as u have some knowledge of a welder and stuff i dont think it will be tuff. email me guys at my hotmail account. widebodyeclipse@hotmail.com im getting everything together and placing on thursday latest.

Whos this "other company" tahts on the move with a kit that you atated a few posts back? I am down with the kit but gotta agree with buck. Not a guinea pig.

35951, RE: lambo doors (got an insight) Posted by BuckNutty, Dec-08-02 05:16 PM
If the guy was near me and offered to let me drive a lil piece of shit car while he hacked mine, I would willingly let him do it on my car. But i won't just buy hinges hoping they will work right. I know that i have the know-how to do it, and between me and a few friends i have the abilities to do it as well. I'll prolly jus end up doin sumthin totally different with my doors, eventually when i have another car and can jus fukk around with this one. ;) Jus wait till BuckNutty Customs comes out.
EDIT: Methinks that lamborghini doors are too passe. Perhapse i shall invent something new :o Me has an idea n whatnot ;)
