OH MY GOD!!
so i checked out Autoloc.. and they do have the stuff!.. BUT it costs from $1900 - $2500, over $1000 more than the kit that Decah produces. Not to mention Decah's kit is a simple bolt on, where Autoloc's will take professional installation and twice as long.<p>I bet the 95 civic kit would work fine on mx3 doors.. or can be made to work. The Decah style hinge kits can be found on ebay for around $1300, or in online pages around tha net for around $1400-1500, which isnt that much considering the final results! ;) hehe so for anybody who hasnt seen it, here is the site:

Basically its your door hinge is on the opposite side of the door. By the back of the car instead of near the front.

Yo Autoloc does* advertize their product as a lambo-style door kit, and the kits come with the gas struts, so they cant be suicide doors. either way, suicide doors arent half as cool as lamborghini'z! :D so somebody do it! i noticed the space within the door frame is VERY tiny.. a hinge would have to be like 2" across to even fit in it. anybody know of a hinge that strong?<p>~ sam

LOL-- Thanks man-- <p> You never can tell if your comments are going to offend anyone-- even if they are meant for a laugh. People always think that if you are a smarta** on one post then you are a jerk and you hate them.<p>LOL-- glad you thought it was funny. <p> Did you check out that link I posted?? That civic is freakin awesome.
:D

Yah I did, it was a sweeta** ride! I was sittin' around last night thinkin' about it, and was wondering if anyone had ever tried doin' a door conversion like the delorean in Back to the future, or if the MX-3 frame could support that kind of design say if the doors were lightened with Carbonfiber?
