Aside from the fact that it stopped being cool sometime between the first time it was done and the 10,000th riceboy put them on a Honda...

When your "radical" door mod has gotten here:

Please. That's the most redneck thing I've ever seen. Lambo doors belong on Lamborghinis.

otherwise they'd be called redne doors?

[DonS1mpson]

Last time I checked, this guy asked if there any kits on the market, not if you think it's a good idea or not. It's his car, let him do what he pleases...

I've read that S2 made a MK3 specific kit.

Way to welcome someone to the forums guys. This is why everyones supra looks the same. Someone tries to put something on their car and everyone here either makes fun of it or shuns it.

Charles - Do whatever you want to your car. I can't think of one person on this forum that has done that to their car. There was one person who had a set and I believe he decided not to do it and I can't remember their user name. It's funny, as soon as you post a picture of an A70 with scissor doors you get all the oohs and aahs.

Here is the only company I know of that makes a bolt-on kit for our car. Click here (http://s2.supra.gr.jp/products_gullwing.html)

I believe the way this kit bolts on into the stock bolt holes on the chassis and the door frame.

But, IIRC, JDM doors are lighter because they don't have the same reinforcements that USDM ones have. Different safety standards and what-not.

If the door is lightened, maybe it's doable (and safe). And that is a big if.

[iwannadie]

How cany anyone think they can post anything on a public forum and not get opinion rather than answers? Come on really, forums = opinions not a database of exact answers so of course people will let the opinions fly.

The door supports are only about 15 lbs and can easily be made up for with a heavier gas strut.

Didn't we already have lambo door thread like a month ago?

Search button, what a novel concept.

And as for all you people whining about opinions, that's what a forum is about, it's a community, a discussion bound together by the love for the car. When I see someone ragging the car out, or doing something I consider distasteful, lame or both, I'm going to tell him. I can't stop him from doing what he wants to his car (nor should I, it IS his), but I can tell him what I think. He's more than welcome to discard my opinion anytime he sees fit.

Lambo doors are like mullets and fanny packs. They ain't cool.

[Jeff Lange]

Fanny packs. They ain't cool.

I think you're looking in the wrong places for your fanny packs. They're off the hook!


Is that a fact?

Well, for the most part. You see the thing about it is that I know everything. If I ever say I don't know something or I post information that is incorrect, it's because I just don't want to tell you.

Which is why supra's are so cool....... because we have more common sense than to bastardize our cars with distasteful mods, such as other communities endorse.... the more knowledge you have the better car you can build, and yes it is MY OPINION that knowledgeable people do not do things such as lambo doors, resources are better spent elsewhere.

when was the last time you saw a 1000hp car that had a shitty body kit or lambo doors ? / My .03 cents (extra cent because im right ;) )

If that is truly how you want to waste your money then go for it:thumbup: You don't know me why care what i think?

[tekdeus]

The debate about Lambo doors on the Mk3 is a real anomaly. When it was a new idea and rare, a Mk3 with vertical doors was generally considered very cool and sexy looking. Now that the mod has been overdone by ricers and rednecks, the same mod is now crap? I cannot think of any other mod that fits this category.

If this holds true, how can a 4" muffler tip look cool on a Supra but ricey on a Honda? Probably because it is overkill for a 4 cyl NA. Short dinky lambo doors look corny, but proper sports cars with long doors make the mod look good.

Since when do Honda owners dictate what looks good on a Supra??

[dcrusupra]

Tek - I mentioned you earlier in this thread but I couldn't remember your user name. Did you ever go thru with installing the scissor hinges?

I've always considered it crap. It adds weight, and after the first handful of cars it wasn't novel. Once you could buy off the shelf kits, it became just like Alzetta tails.


If this holds true, how can a 4" muffler tip look cool on a Supra but ricey on a Honda?

Because a 4" muffller on a Supra likely flows through 3.5" or 4" exhaust, that the turbocharged 3.0 liter motor of the Supra can utilize, at high boost. A 1.2 liter econobox with a fart can is, by definition, ricey.


Probably because it is overkill for a 4 cyl NA.

Exactly.


Short dinky lambo doors look corny, but proper sports cars with long doors make the mod look good.

Maybe, back when it was something unique, different, maybe so. Now days it's one of the calling cards of the rice boy. It's all opinion by the way, what's good for one guy sucks for another.

I simply dislike it anytime I see the MKIII "degraded" - it's a car with a reputation and image problem, and it's horribly undeserved. The MKIII is one of the few great automobiles to come out of the 1980's and it gets shit on because of zipperheads who rice them out, mod them when they can barely even afford to own them and treat them like shit.

But as I said, it's opinion...

They don't, but they do tend to define what's très chic in rice however...

[OneJArpus]

if you want to put 1500 on doors buy a CF door save up another 1500 and buy the 2nd one. Thats pimp

[suprabad]

Whether you like the lambo doors or not, I think you would have to admit that they are probably a hassle to use, and attract the "wrong" kind of attention.


As far as adding weight goes...pleeeeeaze...Supra's are heavy as hell anyway, so I doubt that would be a serious consideration for somebody considering doing this modification.

[boostadikt]

LMAO this thread is awesome.........Supracentral basically nailed down everything including the stereotype that degrades the MKIII community with these type of mods..... and those with the opposite opinion, that like the doors are getting all butt hurt about it. :rofl:

my buddy has lambo doors on his turbo integra and has had them from the beginning when it was all custom fabrication........ yet for the past year he has done nothing but bitch about them and make plans to return them to stock because he feels they are too ricey.

[dcrusupra]

I dont even like the doors. I'm defending them because he didn't even ask for opinions. He asked if they made a bolt-on kit for them. All he got in return was ricer comments. God forbid someone does something different that someone doesn't like. Like lamarossa for example. His car is butt fucking ugly but god dammit he tried and tried hard to be different and no one commended him on his work. Everyone just said it was ugly as hell. I'm just getting tired of seeing the same shit on the forum. One person says it's ugly and he has a bunch of followers who jump on the bandwagon.

[BlackMKIII]

Thou shalt not speak the name of Lamarossa! :sarcasm:

[boostadikt]

Not really you just said yourself that you don't like them so that is your opinion...... I have always hated them and that is me, It has already been said that if he likes them he should do it and not care about any of our "bandwagon" opinions, but this is a Forum and if you post here that is what your going to get OPINIONS

If all he wanted was to know who makes them, then you already gave him that link. question answered and he will go buy them..... he hasn't even replied yet, so unwad your panties.

lol..... and lamarossa yeah your right that car is ugly as fuck, so why would i commend him on being different? I don't because I don't complement or condone shitty work.

Although, autoloc does make a kit that goes 90* like that they also make a kit that goes up to 180*, lol.

[Justin727]

i want doors like the good ol Delorian

[Poodles]

they make them, but it's not possible on a car like ours (no frame around the window)

Koenigsegg doors will never be on anything but the Koenigsegg for a few reasons.

1) engineers said it wasn't possible to be done

2) they're protected by patents, and I doubt anyone could make the hinges any differently or get close enough to a Koenigsegg to even copy them.

DeLorean...

Saw one on the freeway today. Very 80's. :biglaugh:

DeLoreans are #1 on my list of favorite cars. I WILL own one some day. JetJock has a one I am envious of.

[Grimsta]

Heavy, ugly and underpowered as f*&k. Totally 80's. Unless it has a flux capacitor and can fly, then its fast as f&*K

yea poor volvo motors. They had a turbo charged one as a concept. Good luck finding it.. 300+hp or so.
