lambo doors

ok i finally ordered my hinges today.

 

i could of gone with the vdc kit or the decah but they are not good enough, the problem is the door wobble when up and they dont go the full 90 degrees upwards.

 

the ones made by gt factory are better and they are weld ons, however its easy to put bolt holes in.

 

i ordered mine today and they should be here in a week or two, as soon as they are i will post some info and fitting pics.

 

the pice is as follows

 

hinge kit $999

shipping $178

inc sales tax

 

$1177 total.

 

current uk converted price: £642.24.

 

and at this quality and price.. i had to have them..

 

heres the site

 

http://www.aerokits.net/DiabloHinge/gtf.htm

will let you know when they arrive..

Do these require the front wings to be removed to fit them? I'd be very interested to see photos of the kit fitted to your Zed mate as I'm currently looking into different options regarding door conversions.

 

Cheers,

well, it always looks good and is an eyecatcher... but... for an everyday use, totally crap and a pain in the backwards :D

 

cheers,

if your looking for something different try searching for raptor doors, i read about them somewhere but cant remember where, the work like the doors on a koenseigg ccr (did i spell that right lol)

yes you have to remove the front fender this is the same on all of these type of door kits as the main plate has to fix to the wing and the ram struts have to have thier own fixxing also

 

u know all i have noticed here is that if you modifiy your engine to make it go faster its ok, put a body kit on.. its ok. but do something different and its not.. :nono:

 

jesus.. its my car and i will do what i f**n like to it.. i dont care about ur opinion on if its good or crap, im the only one who has to drive it. all im doing is sharing the information that i have from purchasing them.. :rolleyes:

this is a forum where sharing of info is paramount..

 

whiners and wingers go to the back of the class..

now you can keep having a go at me and berate me all you like from now on personally im here to share my experiences with the other guys..

Raptor doors? That's interesting, cheers for the heads up. I wasn't aware there was an aftermarket kit that used double synchro helix door actuation (like the Koenigsegg), which is why I've asked my mate Mike, an ex Rover design engineer, to try and figure out a prototype.

let me know when sorted i want some of them will look very cool i think

someone somewhere is already developing them for a universal fit, but i cant remember where ive read it, ive looked through all my old mags but cant find it will let you know if i come across it

cheers

Yeah I reckon they look pants too.. you're silly.. etc.. ;)

 

Only joking.. quite like them on the 300 actually :D Think they work quite well as we have quite a 'short' (in height) door..

 

Did you see the pics of them on that Hummer though? It looked like you'd have to climb in through a tiny little gap from the side shot :D I know, not quite that bad as they do open outward first.. it just amused me :)

 

They certainly look well engineered though - nice and shiny, precision made, not like a lot of the kludgy looking kits you see on ebay for £3.50 and a packet of fags..

 

We want pics when you've finished :)

i have friends in the states who are not far from thier shop, hes been and checked them over for me, he works in an engineering factory so he knows what to look for, he checked and said they were very well made and built.

 

thats what persuaded me.

 

sorry for the rant .. but i dont care what the others do to theirs.. boost the engine add guages everywhere, do what you like .. as long as you like it whocares. personally i think the modded rides some of you guys have got a fkn amazing.. i wish i wanted to go that route but i done, i just want a nice car.

 

why the lambo look??

 

because im still saving for my first lambo kit car, i cant afford a real one and insure and maintain it, but i can make a damn good kit car version. so its not the real thing but i dont care.

 

until then if i want a car thats got lambo look(which to be honest the 300 does have a touch of diablo to it) then i will mod this one, albeit in a very mild way.

my plan is diablo rear lights from zcenter, diablo spoiler with motorised finfrom parralell designs, diablo doorsgt factory hinges, and now im getting a diablo trimmed interior. the seats will be redone and so will the console and surrounding trim. all for a grand.

 

If you want to know where its here. the lady who owns it llynn is very nice and very professional.

 

the cost 849 for the seats and 151 for the rest of the trim in the car.

as for the interior.. you will have to wait till its finished..
