Hi guys,
Ever since i saw those doors on sound slut's car, i find it difficult to sleep at night. Does anybody knows if any company provides a bolt on system for the 6gc? Decah provides such as system for the 7 gen Celi and it looks absolutely amazing. In the gallery section of the above site you can check some pics out of a yellow 7 gen with lambo doors. (pics 28-36) One word - Awesome Really looking forward to see the response on this thread. This post has been edited by neoklis: Mar 3, 2004 - 9:51 AM |

I got experience with some custom installs and actually got a set of decahs for my 6th generation. there made for a civic, and the 700 dollar asking price on ebay saved me about 500. Some points about the hinges. The shape is very important, as we found out the hard way. Second van hinges dont work, and the guys who have used these type of hinges....well their cars look like s&^%t.
The hinges are interesting because anything that extrudes(brackets,etc) are pressed in, then welded on. This means that alot of early kits snapped parts. All the welds are beveled prior. So strength here is a major concern. I personally think it would be east to make a set for celica 6th gens. Ill use my car as a guinea pig, but it wont be till april/may due to time restraints. Placement of the hinge is critical also....we found that out the hardway. Doors worked great, but hit the fender, after fender intall. We had to do them over. The latches have 2 hinges. One hinges the door out(like a house door hinge), 2nd one is a round hinge that pivots. You might be able to use a stainless steel thick bolt for this. I more then likely will film the process with my camera. If anybody is interested in a set, let me know. One advantage we have, is that both the door hinge and body hinge bolt on. On the z24s, we had to cut the latches off since they were welded on. |
