Re: Lambo style doorsl
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:

Re: Lambo style doorsl
Basically its your door hinge is on the opposite side of the door. By the back of the car instead of near the front.

Re: Lambo style doorsl
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! 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

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.

Re: Lambo style doorsl
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?
