Hello. I was looking for a spoiler for an RX-7 “SE” and came across a ’93 RX-7 with lambo (vertical) doors. I was wondering if any one has seen a first generation RX-7 with lambo door. I will like to see how it looks. Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you guys,

Luism12lm.

 

probaly looks F***ing WACK

 

Not too great in my opinion, but here you go...

 

nevermind

 

I do have to agree with you guys, especially with Mr. Turbo II-FB. Really looks F***ing WACK.

Thank you.

 

well, lambo doors do look "wack" as you say.. anybody seen pic of a first gen with suicide doors? its been an idea of mine for some time now...

 

The doors posted by darkfrost are, I believe, called 'butterfly' doors - a sort of nuveau-gullwing. Lambo doors are the scissor type, hinged in a single pivit typically at the top front of the door below the A pillar. True gullwings are hinged along a center T bar in the roof only.

 

the picture to me looks like it would be nearly impossible to get in the car...

 

Yeah, I've seen a clown with an Acura CL who had these "butterfly" lambo doors installed. I saw the passenger open the door first about <1ft (the regular way), then he had to swing the door up and out[U]. Seems silly to me, but what do I know I drive an RX. Kids these days, ohh yeah I forgot the idiot also had an air bag suspension on his CL. WTF!!??

 

I came across a site that says that it makes it just as easy if not easier to get in and out with lambo doors becasue the pivot out like regular hinges if you want and up like the lambo if you want and so you have the option of doing either or but I also wanted to knwo if the lambo doors would work on first gen and get this done to it even though ever one thinks that it is becoming over done

 

verticledoor.com

the universal kit is $3,000

very nice product, my neighbor just installed the kit on a new corvette, looks nice if thats your cup of tea.... the door opens straight up or you can open the door regular too

 

verticaldoor.com only has a kit for 93+ RX7

 

thats why i said UNIVERSAL KIT

go eat some cheese

 

wow only 3000 dollars what a steal (im joking...) I cant believe people would actually put door hinges on a FB/SA that are actually worth more then the car, id rather spend my money on a turbo

 

$3,000 is for the corvette. With a group buy we could get 10 for our cars @ $1,599 each - but if you read the fine print what you're buying for that lofty sum is two hinges, two shock struts, and a bit of electrical wire (to extend your door harness)

can't find a universal kit on the site

 

seems like an awful hefty price for something not practical, I think lambo doors are just a current fad, IMO they aren't worth nearly that much. I can see them being cool on a show car but for a daily driver it seems a little over the top.

 

the price for the verticel doors are $1500 and the also let you open the doors regular from the hinge abd the site that i got this from was some mazda VLS probely the one you guys are talkign about casue it also says from about 93

 

check out my thread about what i should do to my 82 rx7 A young teen rebuilding a 1st gen rx7

 

I neither like the butterfly (we call them "maikäfer-doors") nor the lambo (scissor) doors on first gens. Gullwing doors might be ok, but I doubt it. As for suicidedoors... no comment
These doors look best the way they are. That's my opinion. Gullwingdoors might be ok on an FC though.
Other then that, I'm getting tired of every second car in a carshow having lambo-style doors. It's just too much. And of course, they'd be illegal overhere, but I guess that's no problem in the USA.
