Hahah. soooo.... I've only driven one FD in my life. Mine. And my doors are soooooo heavy. And some times when I try to close it, it locks half way. Am I the only one? lol

 

Nope

 

If you mean the door closes half way, then yes that is normal for all FD's.

For some reason, its only the driver side that does it. It has to do with the interior being one big pocket.

What i do is i crack my window like a 1/2 inch before i get out of the car. Luckily for me, i have a remote that will close the windows for me with a touch of a button.

So when i get out, i dont have to really close the door hard because my window is open a bit. I just close it normal, hit the button on the remote and im done.

The new cars now do that automatically when the key is out of the ignition (example: 350z). Then when you close the door, it closes the window automatically.

 

+1 on the 43k ton stock fd doors.

 

When I was installing a short shifter I left a piece of light towel over the empty shifter hole and closed the door. When I opened it again the towel was shot into the air by the in rushing air.

These cars are practically airtight.

 

Hmm. is that why I love driving mine so much?? Cuz i feel like I'm in a fighter pilot cockpit

 

Doors are not heavy, actually light. It's the tight seal that makes them hard to close. Like the man pointed out.


Later

 

Oh okay. Thanks guys!

 

doors arent that heavy too me

 

mine are the same but i think mine have also gotten a little loose...haha

 

doesnt bother me at all.....what does annoy me is the cheap "tin" sounds it makes when its closed..is there a fix for that? Makes it sound cheap

 

yes there is a fix for that its on here somewhere do a little searching. its basicly the door support has come unglued to the outer skin. and you reglue it with some specific sealant. like i said do a search it is here.

there are a bunch of fixes for this. i uses quiet coat.. forgot what forum member started using it but he swore by it... i def notice a a reduction in noise when i slam my door now.. its a nice solid thump


yeah..maybe you guys are right... come to think of it it does feel more like air restriction rather then heavy doors... i probably also need to lube my hinges....
