maybe unorthodox, but passengers you should always open and close the door for the lady. if its a male passenger, crack the window and close the door holding the top side.

I have been thinking about trying carbonfiberparts.net. It looks to be pretty expensive but sounds like it would be a lot stronger and look a lot better if it was covered in carbon fiber. Just a thought.

Mine is busted and Rich at Gotham Racing said that Ihor there can fix it and I think it cost like 150 bucks or something like that. I havent seen one done yet but if its anything like the rest of their work it will be incredible. Im getting mine fixed there soon. Just so you know the 94 handles which were reinforced to buy from mazda are like 376 bucks or something sick like that. So call up Gotham and see how much it is going to cost if you wanna pay someone to do it. Everyone knows they do good work.

Mine is still holding up ok, it's a little bit loose. I'll probably take it apart sometime this winter and gob JB Weld onto it.

yeah...covering a part in CF is going to make it sooo much stronger! Just covering it isnt going to do anyting.
My handle broke. I used JB weld and it has held fine for 6 months.

could someone please explain exactly what it is about the handel that breaks. Being that I don't actually own a RX-7 the parts of the car I'm familiar with are not the doorhandels.

Well between school, work and moving out I can't take pics tommorow, if you have the metal strapping and a screw to put in the handle its easy. Once you take the door apart it will all fall into place, also you can check the FSM online it has some diagrams which will help, if you want i can maybe photoshop something lol
