This is the Lambo Door that most are eager to see on my car.

But too bad its on another car, cos my brother's customer need it 1st.

few more pic

are those 45'? i would prefer if its 90' degree :)

ps:what spoiler on those Velocity Red?

nice... :)

Beauty ! is the cost of installation expensive n approved ? Juz curious .. but really swee ! :Drooling_

Very nice... I don't care what anyone else says, I REALLY like the look of those doors.

But, could you take a pic of them with the rear doors open as well? Just curious as to how easy/difficult it is to maneuver in and out of the back. Thanks! :)

Right - the rear-door operation would be the deal breaker, imo. :)

ps:what spoiler on those Velocity Red?

dat's morgan's ride in e background and e rear wing is from a celica :smoker:

I actually didn't want lambo doors because they seem to be in the way, and make it difficult for people to get in and out of the car.
Until I saw these doors that a guy here did. I've actually sat in the car, and the doors are completely out of the way. They go a full 90'.
The rear doors are unchanged.

wah! that door looks dam cool! perfect together with that body kit. thanks for the pictures!

It would be very difficult in closing the a 90 degrees door when u are outside. and its even more difficult or almost impossible to close the door when u are in the car on the car seat.

But if u have very long and strong arms, one can still be able to reach for the doors and close it. if not u would have to reach up in order to close it.

Does it swing outwards? Looks pretty hard to climb in n out..

I think the 90 makes much more sense, the 45's would get in the way when you enter or exit. I would be concerned with how hard the 90's would be to grab hold of and shut. But they do look very cool.

Does it swing outwards? Looks pretty hard to climb in n out..

Of cos it would not be as easy as the original door (when fully opened)

But in Singapore the parking lots are so close to each other.

With the lambo door getting in and out is much more easier than teh original door under these situations.

okay guys,just check these thread:

ps:sorry morganoh,i didn't mean to hi-jack your post,but it think these people need to know how well those 90' can do, it'll be easy to close ;) as easy come easy go :cool:

Whahaa margon,

Nope. Its a piece of cake.

I installed the GT Factory system in my car at the beginning of October. The trick is in the strut selection.
The RX-8 doors are pretty light, so it requires fairly light-duty gas struts to hold it open.
When I get in, I just take the door down with me. Its light as a feather.

When the door is easy to open that means that newton of the hyraulic strut is high. therefore its difficult to close the door.

Did u know that GrRx8MaZdA did try to sell it off before installing the lambo door kit. But his asking price is not much diff from a new one. Therefore had to install on his car.

If its so good why sell?

Any way. u will have to try it yourself in order to decide. Cos u may not like what I or other's had .

man,just keep it down ;) i never say i don't like your vertical door,i think you know these is a thread,therefore i just give my opinion :Peace:

ps:nice door you got there,so good luck with it :)

foo77, Morgan didn't install his own set of vertical doors on his ride so I'm sure he is not offended. Ha ha... GrRx8MaZdA tried to sell his vertical door kit but ended up installing on his own car. We don't know the real reason, so let's not speculate if it's good or not. If it's REALLY BAD, I think he would not have installed it or would have removed it after installation. BTW, come to think of it, Morgan, why didn't you install your vertical doors?

Anyway, there are different camps on the topic of vertical doors, no right or wrong. Some love it, some hate it but this is an open forum and I support foo77's right to express his opinions. If you are someone who love vertical doors, get it, install it, enjoy the benefits and live with the drawbacks. If you are someone who hates it, think it's silly and impractical, don't install it lor.

First i couldn't find a good mechanic to do the job perfect!!ITS GREECE MATE!!We don't have tons of good mechanics and i didn't want the doors to shut my head!!

Second at that time i needed some money..I found the money and kept the doors and then found one of the best in Greece-KIROS EXTREME-who installed my doors perfect!!

There is not another reason for selling them then...And i won't take them of!!Never!!

So you removed the doors off of a Lamborghini?

Oh wait you meant vertical doors. ;)

^They are lambo style as you said..Not lambo doors!!LOL

But this is the only kit with 90degrees...I love them!!

There are actually two companies that I am aware of that are making kits that do 90° - GT Factory (which is what I used) and WingDoors.

I don't know wingdoors sorry mate if i am wrong...

The doors that would look pretty interesting and different would be the A-pillar type doors... like the one on the Iosis prototype car. Most of the new "show" cars in Cali are using them instead of VD.

As a modification, they would be structurally pretty unsound.
The frame around the window is not strong enough to support the door in the long term, not to mention the bulk of a hinge being installed there.
Show cars don't have to be driven every day.

Now in a production model, these things can be taken into consideration when designing the door, but it is still a difficult proposition.

That at Frankie's Shop right?

I rem he mentioned that he was doing the Lambo doors for a few customer

How safe are lambo doors in comparison with stock in case of direct side impact?

Can buy it from www.lsddoors.de or u can buy it in Singapore cos they have a dealer in Singapore

LSD is the best vertical door kit manufacture , all their door kits has crash test certifications.

The vertical door kit hinge is much much stronger and also heavier than the original hinge.

I don't doubt the door being stronger but how about the joint where the door is supported.

The LSD door kit is a direct bolt on kit, that uses the original holes that the origianl hinge used

The vertical door kit in this thread is not an LSD kit, its a cheaper version
(40% cheaper) The LSD is much better and the best as u can adjust the LSD hinge in all dimensions in order for a perfect fit on the RX8 while the cheaper ones can't

I have the LSD door kit on my car and will post the some photos of the LSD door kit from my car in a few days time

Reminds me of the Sera Gulwing..

Doubt that the 8's door can be hinged on the top.. will be Very Very interesting..

Those doors are rediclous. Who would ruin their RX-8 with those ricer-boy doors...

There's an advantage to lambo doors: You don't have to open the door as wide to get out.

If either of them made total sense they would be stock...

I figure they'd be the same, they're just nuts hinges...they open like a regular door just enough to then go up...

hey everyone i just got to know the price for the LSD $3300 before GST and install might get discount if it's a group buy
its takes 1 and half weeks upon Confirmation

U need to find a good installer. That has experience in Vertical door kit and will do a very good job on the wiring.
Cos all wires got to be lengthen, and most people just use the twist and turn and tape up method. U must make sure the installer include an additional soldering step.
And most important, remove the batt power before doing anything , or the ECU will "blank out" and can't start the engine and will need to spend few hundreds of dollars to get it reset.

hey thanks morganoh for your advice. do you know of any good installer.

That will be my installer, he has done more vertical door kits than any one else in Singapore.

When u get your door kit , I can give u his number. the Charges should be around $600-800.
I'm not sure about the actual cost, cos I did quite alot of other things together and charge a whole lump sum.

I have the right kit that opens up to 85 degrees... you dont want more than that or else you would lose its appeal...my kit bolts right up in less than 3 hours after the fenders have been removed.... it just looks right...

Check it out on my RX7 with RX8 seats

No offense, but I would be more worried about the installation then lengthening the wires...anybody could do that... :mdrmed:

No Offense also

Yes eveyone could do that but would they do it for u?

If I do not tell u about soldering the wires would u know it? Your switches may just fail after a few mths and got to redo the wiring again.

If u do not tell the guy what to do (soldering).
Most of the guys will just turn and twist the wires and tape together. no one will put the extra effort to do extra soldering job.

Installation of the Bolt on door kit is very easy. everyone can do that I can do that too. (but only for LSD doorkit).
And it can be easily alight and adjusted cos LSD is the only vertical door kit that allows u to do so.

Its the laying and lenghting of the wires that is troublesome as it got to be the correct length in order for the door to open and close correctly without injuring the wires.
Most will do the trial and error method.

No offense, but I would be more worried about the installation then lengthening the wires...anybody could do that... :mdrmed:


Once u have the LSD door kit. take a good look at it.
U will understand. what I meant. Its very easy to install

It takes more skills to lengthen and solder the wires than installing the Door kit.
-------------------------------------------------

Before I had the LSD door kit I bought another vertical door kit from another company. its a mess installing it. Even thought this door kit claims to be a bolt on kit , it still requires alot of extra machining/cutting in order to have the door align perfectly.

The price diff between the 2 brands is around S$1500++, but u paid for what u get.

That is way too much money for a kit... I can sell you mine for the RX8 for about $800.00 as a group buy and it is a direct bolt on..no machining.. no heavy modification...and it opens 80-85 degrees.... 90 degree kits dont look right on any car... its just not natural... not even the lamborghini opened 90

I do recommend that the installer solder the wires.. its best and then to use heat shrink wrapping... use a flex tech hose to cover eveything so it will look neat also.
The advantages of soldering is no loss of resistance.. better conductivity.

Really? Awesome... But then, wouldn't you install it yourself?

U can said that again I did help out in the installation, but the wiring is not done my me.
(u can DIY too, not difficult, unless u are an "Offices Guy" who do not wish to get your hands dirty or is lousy with tools)

Basically most of my car dress up, are partially DIY project.
