Lambo door conversion
 

Hey guys

I found this web site for Lambo door conversion

http://decah.net/

They supose to have the kit out Civic/Integra for $1600...I'm going to call them up and see if they could do anything with the Rx7s..Anyone interested ?? I was thinking if we could get lot of people to do it, I was hoping maybe they will work on the kit for our cars instead of other ricers

Re: Lambo door conversion
 

:chef:

just don't even make the call man... it's not worth it, and no one on here would want to buy anything from that company

Why nobody will want to buy from that company?
Bad service? bad quality parts?
I'm actually interested in making my door vertical like the re 7

Like clockwork, every other month or so some noob posts something about a lambo door conversion. :rolleyes:

...or a 20b conversion.

Here's a little tip...leave expensive and ridiculous body modification to the Ricers and spend your money on reliability and performance.

man chill out..I was just seeing if other people on this forum was interested since I've been trying to get it done for my Rex. PLus, just cuz I only have few posts on this forum, dosen't mean I'm new to this rotary land

PS. just for your info..I do have a single turbo FD = )

man if you wanna spend money on something ridiculous like that, call up RE A and order the fully automatic vertical door kit they displayed at this years TAS... only about $20k

Re: Lambo door conversion
 

Someone has already contacted them about a kit for the FD (it was in another thread about the same topic).

It's not happening from them, and definitely not at a price like that.

notice all the example pictures are riced out hondas

so did you think since you have a single turbo fd you are automatically classified as knowing your shit and not new to "rotary land?" I'm not trying to call you out, but by the way your stating your information is definately not standard of where you might THINK you are in this community.

why is everyone being a dickhead to this guy?? he asked a fucking question, yall need to chill out.. dont get your panties in a twist... i KNOW my rotary shit, have owned another previous FD, and now have another.... AND i also have a honda civic coupe that i did the custom lambo door mod on MYSELF... to each his own.. if you wanna talk shit.. keep it to yourself... not EVERYONE wants a stock looking car.... god damn flamers.

All I said was " just cuz i only have few posts on this forum....dosen't mean I'm new to this rotary land" ( i've already had two FDs in past 4 yrs ) ..I stated that I also have a single turbo FD becuase IANEWK advise me to do my reliability and performance mods first ;) ...so please keep your little opinions to yourself and stay away from the thread if your not interested.

PS. I think someones gonna say " just cuz you had two FDs in the past dosen't mean you know shit about rotary " :D

too many ppl here are pricks... i say if you want the door conversion.. go for it.... :D

hahaha yeah ..I'll put in more info IF i find some and JUST for people who are interested :cool:

g$% damn ricers.

Go ahead with that ricer bull S$%t. If you are not giving him a money to hook up a car, then shut the f$#@ up!!hes not asking for your permission or an opinion so let the man do whateva he wants with his car.

I'll give him a dollar not to do it. But really I couldn't care less.

And um, this is a forum. If you don't want to subject yourself to other's criticism, praise, etc, then don't post. :rolleyes:

You gotta take the good with the bad. Don't you just love free speech? :patriot:

I love freedom of speech and my FD which's from far~ far~ land of RICE and sushi. :D

why do you feel the need to keep pointing out that you are "not a ricer"?:rolleyes:

maybe someone's in denial?

denial? more like sarcasm.

All of the people that are bashing this guy need to calm down. It takes just as much energy to type something helpful as it does to flame, so say something helpful or dont waste thread space!

hrmm if you're going to go with a modification like this I suggest you make sure you're willing to spend the $$ to do it right. don't look for big discounts on such an extreme modification, i say either take it to a seriously well respected custom body shop and spend the $$, or spend the $$ and let RE A do it right. you KNOW they know their shits.

a good point.. you cant expect to get away with doing a mod like this for cheap. I custom made everything for my civic and pretty much rewired everything over and over to get it right, now my door swing out then up, all with the push of a button, and the same for when they come in :D but my civic is my show car... so its loud as fuck (visually) :o:

oops.. sorry for the double post...

Man, some people can be so anal. :rolleyes:

If he wants to do it that's his perogative, I wouldn't personally, but to each their own. Everyone does have the right to an opinion and freedom of expression, etc, but there are ways to communicate that without sounding like an ass.
YayeR makes a good point in the post above, if you pay $1600 dollars for this, you'll get a $1600 dollar job.

Good luck.

I see how very informed you are. There is NO KIT, you have to have your car shipped to Japan and have R.E. do the conversion for you. If he or anyone else wants to do something to their cars, don't call it ridiculous, stay the hell out of a topic if it bothers you. People are really sick of this bashing bull, keep your coments to yourself if you don't have any help for the ones asking for it.

That's what I am talking about.:D

I don't have a problem with anyone doing whatever they want with their own car. I'm not interested in lambo door conversions personally, but I don't have a problem with someone else wanting to do it.

Now that that is out of the way, that company's WEB SITE is ricey. :)

You can also check the following threads about the same topic:

https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...hreadid=166226

LOL, R.E. needs to update their site. Seriously, as long as I can remember it's always been that way. A pain in the ass to find things on. For God sake, seperate the products search into categories!

We love R.E., right? Heh!

And Max, I totaly agree with your bro, to me it's always been "To each his own" and that's how it's always gonna stay. But I just can't stand when people post in topics and have nothing better to do than criticise.


Another thing, others shouldn't look at people's post counts and determine their status using that. I've been into the rotary for years and was browsing this forum since it got started. Now I see these new kids with 100 bullshit posts telling other to can it. Every one of you TRUE newB's should just relax and take notice, do some research before posting crap.

Okay, I'm done!

BUMP:mad:

Hi there everyone,

I'm Bill from importprecision.com. We will be releasing a VLS (vertical lift system) specifically designed for the RX7. You can see pics of our kit at the website... it opens both vertically AND oem. It should sell for around $1500 like our 3000GT/Stealth kit.

I'm new to the RX7 forum, but I'll be happy to answer any questions anyone might have. We don't have a release date just yet.... but its coming up.

I love the interior section..lol...every other thread is about rice somewhere.

I love the door conversion on the RE car.

Bill, I see you have Jay's car on your website. I saw the car in Super Street and I wondered who did the conversion for him. Last time I saw his car was ealier this year.

I think I'd have to see the car in person with the conversion to know if I'd really want my car done that way.

Looking forward to seeing more of the pics of Jays 7.

That's a crazy looking FD, but it's not the same as RE's conversion... I keep thinking that I want to do it myself with one of the US kits, but the doors come out too much... unlike the RE doors that go straight up...

forgive me....but FD/RE?

ya. Iv seen video of several of the "kits" and it looks like crap. they open out like the door dose now then go up. and they wobble going up. it was good for a laugh. RE A is the only way to do this mod.

I doubt you've seen my kit going up.... which one did you see?

https://www.rx7club.com/forum/attach...&postid=562431

RE Amemiya conversion.

Thank you for explaining that!

Man that is a sweet RX7.... makes me want to get one.

That kit doesn't happen to open up both ways does it? My kit opens both OEM and up depending on how you have a latch.

I didn't know there was a lambo door kit out already.... any idea on price?

There isn't a lot of information about the RE conversion as it is not a kit. RE does the conversion themselves. That conversion I believe is from around '98. They have a newer one for their widebody kits:

http://www.steveprew.com/~rextreme/2...re-brown-5.jpg

I doubt the doors in the first photo open OEM style. If you look closely at the door, you'll see that the door doesn't look OEM. I'm guessing it's a CF door to lighten what needs to be lifted. The newer conversion obviously doesn't open OEM, however I don't know why you would want that functionality if you went to the expense to have vertical doors. It's rumored that the RE conversion is around $10k, however, I don't think anyone from the US has ever shipped their car over to Japan for the conversion to verify the price. ;)

If you could create a kit that opens "vertical", you'd definitely have a better chance of selling more kits to US FD owners. Most FD owners are hesitant of turning their cars into Civic look alikes.

ahh, thats a much better shot to show its actualy workings. I understand your "why on earth would you spend the dough" question.

I have the VLS kit on my car, and it's my daily driver. I have the driver set to open vertically, and the passenger set for OEM. I do this to make it easy on my passenger/my girl/my friends to get in and out.

Of course for photo shoots, I flip the lever over and they both go vertical.

We do have a kit already adapted to the RX7 (should sell for around $1500)... and we are just perfecting it, testing it. We don't want to release something we don't think is top notch.

Thanks again for the pictures. Not sure if you know, but I have a 3000GT Spyder (the one on our site) but seeing these pics makes me want a RX7.... what a great looking car!

Well, if you want something top notch which will actually sell in the RX-7 community, make them go straight up vertically like the RE conversion, not outwards.

If you read the other threads here about the scissor/gull wing/vertical doors (whatever people want to refer to them as), most people here dislike the doors that don't go straight vertical.

I'm not saying your kit sucks, I'm just trying to help as to what most FD owners would buy. Most of them would spend the extra money for the doors if they are done right. However, at $1600 or so for doors that open like the ones in the picture, you'll only get the few highschool FD owners.

Hey Bill, I think that your kit looks awesome. Could you post a video of yours opening and maybe closer pics of the black car?

And what's this about flipping a lever to open stock?
