I think the first thing i wanna do to my caris get the lambo doors! Who and what brand do you recommend? Are they hard to install yourself? I own a mechanics garage so i have all tools at my fingertips!

 

Isn't this your car?

 

I got a replacement!!! No they arent for that one!

This might help too....

 

don't do that to your car!!!! Please no!

 

Installing it yourself (unless you've done extensive bodywork before - including fabrication and welding) is not suggested.

GT Factory makes the most stable system. That is what I have.
Expect to pay about $1100 for the system and another $1k for the install.

 

it will be easy to install it yourself if it is a pre-made unit (with basic tools and have a brain), not one of those universal fit ones where you need to modify to fit.

 

There is no "bolt-on" kit for the RX-8. It isn't possible because the fender clearance is too low.
It requires cutting the sub frame to recess the hinge box so that the swingarm doesn't contact the outer line of the fender.

 

Mine is the second link. I haven't had any problems with the doors, I have had to adjust one door once, which was kind of a pain. In the pictures you can see that the doors don't go a full 90 degrees. I would recomend getting a kit that does go the full 90 for entry and exit. But you will get used to whatever.

 

I just put the "bolt" on kit on my car .. and it was real shitty .... nothing fit how it was suppose to ... and its kinda anoyying you ahve to be way carefull closing the doors

i will post pics soon

 

I would get this done if they had actuators fitted in the joint, so I could use my key fob to open my doors automatically. That woudl be so amazing. Not only would it be functional, but mucho bling :-D

 

I warned you all about that.

AutiLoc makes an actuator kit that could be used in conjunction with the GT-Factory system.

 

was the shitty bolt on kit GT factory???

Is the autoLoc kit, a kit for just keyless entry? or would it allow me to have to door lift up when the button is pressed?

 

No. GT Factory is the good system. It is definitely NOT bolt-on, though.

The AutoLoc stuff is linear actuators and poppers. It will open and lift the door and pull it back down again.

 

i think the best you can do is to buy a bolt-on-kit from germany.
here is the link

you don´t need to weld, just bolt-on and be happy


sorry for my english.

here is the adress for the USA

It was a company with GT factory ..... but i cant remeber what it was called sorry ....

 

Yeah, I saw one of their kits recently in L.A.. Nice concept, but it leaves the door really floppy and flimsy feeling. The closing alignment kept changing making it hard to tell where the door was actually going to close.

 

keep lambo doors on lamborghinis.

 

The newest Lamboghini has regular horizontal doors.

 

see, even lamborghini knows that those types of doors are pains in the ***.

 

Vertical doors are no more difficult than horizontal doors, unless you are fat or otherwise immobile.
I guess it is an American thing...

 

I Searched AutoLoc on google but didnt find much. Do you have a vendor for a kit like this?

I just to see pricing etc.

And when you say not bolt on, how many hours of work did it take you to install them?

 

It took me about 12 to 14 hours, but I have a lot of experience with this sort of thing. A pro shop with two or thee techs would probably be able to do it in about 8 hours. The average enthusiast would only be able to ruin their car in that span at best.

The AutoLoc stuff isn't a kit. You would buy two poppers, two actuator, the controler and the harness then install it all yourself. The actuators would replace one of the two support struts per door that are included in the GT-Factory system.

 

You don't know much about the history of lamborghini do you? Or why they use(d) scissor doors?

Don't try to justify ricerness with nonsense.

 

Uh, OK.
I owned an LP 5000S for a while in the middle of the 90's. Got tired of it overheating every time I came to a stop.
I don't need to justify anything. Are you trying to justify anything?
