clint

 

 

uh why would you ever wanna do that. keep that **** to the rice boys

 

You are referring to lambo doors.

Try searching with the term lambo There are threads on the subject.

 

theres more pics of that car on the first page of the "post some pics of your first gen" thread in the non tech section.

 

It looks ... well kind of okay... I prefer my normal swing out doors though...

 

*scratches head*

WHY would ANYONE????? want to do that?

 

Limited parking space?? To each their own. I think I actually like it on that FB...weird. I hate Lambo conversions.

 

I Put Lamborghini Doors On That Es-Coooou-Laaaade..........

 

low pros so low its like im ridin on blades

 

I like the look, but I hear they're a PITA to live with -- between the cuts on your forehead from hitting the bottom rear corner of the door and the strained shoulders from reaching up to close it once you're inside.

 

suicide doors is where it's at.

 

dont do the lambo doors!!

 

+1

 

Before you start thinking of buying a kit that's priced too good to be true from Florida or the Carolina's, go to the Bad Guy board and use the search engine on each of these names..."Protodermis", "Val", "PREACHER" and "Henry"....DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS LOSER !

I personally plan on doing this mod this Summer with the gray RX-7 aptly nicknamed, Furious....

 

I like it. I don't think it hurts the car's original design intent. In terms of being tacky. It looks sweet and ez on the back to get in and out.

 

And if you got the arms and shoulders, it's not that big a deal to pull it down on a daily basis...hell, it'll keep your shoulders and neck nice and sharp w/o having to hit the gym...

 

Oh well if chicks dig it is all I care about...

 

don't flame me for this but i want to do this for 2 reasons. frist i go to guitar center in boston now and then.they have to have the worst parking spots every and i wouldn't have to worry hitting other cars with lambo doors. second reason my g/f keeps useing her foot to open the door and no matter how many times i tell her not too. she keeps doing hit. shes hit a few car doors allready.

 

Put some more rubber on her side door. lol Tell her you don't use yer foot to do open doors.

 

you have no idea how many times i tell her not to do it, i know its a heavey door 1980 rx7.

this what allways happens. she opens the door with her foot and i see her tyring to open it more then it can............


me..........babe, ect . do you have to do that.
my gf. what?
me ...... open the door with your foot.
gf. what are you talking about?
me....... you dont need to push the door open with you foot.
gf........ (eye's drop look of angry and thinking) whats you problem i never do any thing right do i?


iam not some big tuff guy 5'10" 140 wet. ive seen her knock bigger guys then me out so id rather not chance pissing her off. lambo doors would fix this lol.

 

pfft...those doors are NOT heavy - try an 80's GM two-door like a GN or even more so, a Delta 88...I can position the Rx-7's door with one hand and tighten the bolts with the other...it is NOT heavy.

 

i had a 85 cutlass thats a heavy door.

any one make a kit, my g/f studying over seas for the next few months so i can install it with out her knowing and when i put the car back on the road she wount get pissed at me and hit me when she opens door thinking i installed it to pervent her from opening it with her foot.

 

85 cutlass two-door is the same as a GN - it's an intermediate. The Olds Delta 88 is a full size and even bigger.
As far as kits, they make generic kits that you custom install - I doubt there is enough of a market to make a "Rx-7 ricer door kit" :P

 

maybe ill weld her door shut from the inside
wait shell trying t o kick the door open from the outside
