minus the HIEDOUS hatch back that makes room for the unnecessary speakers, that car looks really tight. i love the doors like that, just wish they weren't so expensive to do correctly... last price i found was near $1500.

 

Ok looking at the white one in the first link closely it is a station wagon check it out it has the hatch modify with glass and the modify shifter console in the white RX-7 very interesting.

 

I think I could float $1500 for gullwing doors. Though I thought the # was more like $15000. Was that a typo or what?

no no, the $1500 was correct... unfortunately i don't remember the name of the company.... i'll do some searching later this week. PM me so i remember to get back to ya if this little chat gets burried ok?

 

the hatch is fugly i think there was a red one with that hatch a while back. those doors look like **** ricer doors. its much better when they go straight up

 

to each his own... you worship lamborghini and i pray to a higher power McLaren F1 (also incredibly similar to the Enzo's doors). i would much rather have a little cocky swagger to it... but that's just me

 

Here is a link to the brackets and hinges made by Kazamauto to the red RX-7 in the third link.

I need to brush up on my japanese a bit...any idea how much they cost in that link?

 

well the enzo/mclaren doors have a different angle of opening, they dont go straight out and straight up...

straight up just looks better on this specific car than decah style.

if they made doors maybe with the pivot point a little higher so that it opens more like wings like the enzo, it would also look nice. i dunno how to explain what im saying but like i mean the inside bottom corner of the door, its y axis is still parallel to the original plane... also the way the door is shaped and connects with the body, it just doesnt work the same way... this is far from looking like mclaren/enzo doors...

 

i think i get what you're saying, but i still enjoy the little twist... agree to disagree... agree?

 

ok fine get them. i guess it does add a couple coolness points...

 

I saw those at the TAS this year. Pretty neat kit. I may get it...

 

only 1500!, I swear it was alot more than that.

 

The doors you're talking about are commonly called "scissor" doors, "vertical" doors or "Lambo" doors. This is a gull-wing door...

 

Does anybody know the price of the Kazamauto kit or the availability of getting it into the US???

 

jim beat me to it

 

Here's one U.S. source for scissor door hinge kits. They claim that no cutting is involved and that you can convert back to your original hinges afterward.

There is also a monster discussion about those doors in our interior/exterior forum. Including multiple posts by the owner/developer/whatever from that company.

 

Best doors ever

 

i would love to see a pair of true gull wing doors (seen on above mercaedes) on an rx-7. if i had a **** load of money i would do it.

 

WOW what a beautiful car. not sure about the doors since it looks like a transformer..... but different. it will probably grow on me over night

 

I still cant decide if I like them or not. Maybe if I didnt see an H2 with the same kit. Try opening an H2 door like that in a garage..... I guess one good thing about them is you will never give other people door dings, unless your an idiot.

 

anyone have a picture or drawing of this. Im going to try and build some.

 

IF YOU CANT AFFORD A LAMBO .DONT TRY TO MAKE YOUR FD LOOK LIKE ONE
