Single motion lambo doors?
 

Does anyone know of any vendor or garage that sells and installs single motion vertical doors (Lambo style not Gull wing)? I know it would prob take some heavy body work and $, but I've been searching the web and only find the, out then up vertical doors.

i highly doubt that there is a kit available since the door really can't go straight vertical without the a-pillar being there. Plus all the latches will have to be heavily modified to do that.

GT Factory's kit looks good when its up since the door actually comes in when it also goes up

sweet ride btw

that looks good, looks better on a first gen tho. in my opinion..i wish i still had that pic. of one with lambo doors.

:AA:

How do you like the doors? I was wanting to get the hinges but did not know how they would work. Did you install them yourself?

Single motion doors aren't possible. Every kit that you buy will open around 30 degrees before going upwards. I don't like the GT factory kit cause the doors look really out of place. They're like 8 feet up lol. VDI and LSD open slightly inwards.

you won't be able to install yourself. unless you know bodywork.

installation is pretty difficult unless you know how to weld. There is a lot of little things you have to do, too, that play a big role in the outcome of the doors.

I have the GT Factory kit, but mine doesn't go straight up and down, my doors are pitched in a little bit, so they cant over the windshield a little. It all depends on how you place the hinge.

I'm not sure about the LSD doors, but VDI makes a bolt-on and I was able to do it by myself in one night.

Does anyone know if you can bolt on the Gt Factory Diablo Conversion Kit?

I like these....where did you get them installed?

Those were the prototype hinges, and they were done by GT Factory for free.

buy a mucielargo

Yea, after all the run around trying to get the right one and work to but them on the Murcielargo will be cheaper......:rolleyes:

last i heard, their bolt on kit is available for purchase but im not completely sure

i went with the gt factory because i couldnt get in and out of an 8 with the vdi kit since the door doesnt go high enough for me

the bolt on gt factory kit isnt hard to install, you just need to know how to take off the fenders and bumpers to do it

Although i dont plan on getting these kind of doors any time soon... i was wondering which GT factory bolt-ons are being refferred to. I checked out their website.

http://www.gtfactory.jp/index1.htm

But all the bolt Ons seem to be designed for specific cars i.e.: corvettes and chryslers.

Now i havent asked them anything, since im not interested in buying anytime soon... just wondering which one fits on the RX8.

Hehe, then there is the universal kit... which doesnt say bolt-on.....
Im just saving up for more important things in life besides appereance.. F/I

I have called gt factory, the salesman there told me it is a bolt on but not really easy for do it at home, they prefer proffesional installation, and for the rx8 the door is not 90 degree up at all.

gt factory hasnt updated their site in a long time so the rx8 hinge is not on their site as of now

the best way to find out is to just call them

the kit is not 90 degrees but its alot higher up than the lsd or vdi kits

ill be back in cali in two weeks so ill take a bunch of pics with the doors up to get an idea of how well they open

I got the Diablos over the summer and ever since i havent been able to find someone install them for me in Oregon. Im parking my car since it has just today started to snow and will keep lookin but if anyone here is intrasted ill give them up if i cant find anyone to install them for me...But if any one has or know any near by place to oregon with out having to go down to sandiego please letme know i really wana get them on my car...thankz

Yeah, I saw that "extended" wiring harness you did on you car at SSX :lol: How do you stand that?


The hinge can open over 110 degrees, but you're limited by the stroke of the struts that support and provide the lift and closing support for the door. I changed by struts to different ones than are supplied with the kit and my door opens roughly 85 degrees or so.

i would be interested in buying them from you...what kind are they and how much?

What do you mean stand? The electrical tape makes it perfectly waterproof. I've had mine on through 2 winters and have never had a problem.

I'd rather have a little bit of electrical tape than spend whatever thousand+ dollars any shop will charge for installation.

no such thing.

Not the electrical tape, the fact you simply pulled the whole fist-sized connect thru and it's now hanging down. How long did you actually extend the harness? It looked like you didn't even cut any wires but simply pulled the harness out and left it there

I cut some electrical tape on the inside of the car so allow the harness to move out. There was plenty of excess wire length so I just did the simplest thing I could. When I close the doors the wires go back inside the car and I haven't had any problems with water getting in or anything like that.

Just because it looks different than the way other people do it doesn't mean it isn't effective.

^^^ ha ha thats good

i have the lsd kit, exspense but they are bolt so i can go back to regular hinges at

thats why i bought a vertical kit!!!!!!!!!!

cost of cutting the doors and paint
 

hey im about to buy the hinge kit for the doors how much did it cost you to get the fenders cut and painted?

Alright, I have a question...I just want an answer. How much for the complete kit, and installation of vert doors? Around $2,000 for it installed?

Gabe, vertical door installs are not cheap. Most good shops want around $2500-$3500 just for the install. The kit, depending on which you get, is around $700-$2000.

Alright, just trying to see what I would be looking at. Thanks Chicken, I get my car back in a week, and I'm going to start ordering parts. You were the one and said you have a spring compressor right? I've made a list of everything I'm going to be ordering...lowering springs, tint, wheels, tires, and somehow, I found a body kit I like. And I usually hate body kits. Oh and I think I'm going to get Borla exhaust
