lightweight fiber elements for 4 gen.

Yeah, it would be murder if you didn't have a cage with door bars. And at that point, you aren't loosing any weight.

 

Not to thread jack but

M50 hyas been done over and over and yeah your right but to have a boosted true 2.8L M20 with 300hp ....... And Yeah i have the MtechnicII rear spoiler and IS front Lip w/ spliteer made of CF off of Ryang G's...
E36 M3 Twisty sideskirts.. and E36M3 rear bumper....
Extremely sleeperish except the Loud BOV

An M52 turbo or S50 OBD1 turbo will be the next motor i build for a e34 525I Or this e30

 

You guys have the right idea but to save a Ish load of weight Create a fiberglass hatch and repklace the rear window with lexan.....


Best weight savings there and no crash stability decrease...

Make some styling hoods like the rally hoods, evo * style vents, Invader,
Ram air hoods

Also some fenders.

Throw a poll up i gaurantee you will find out what everyone wants..

I used to fab fiber glass fenders up for race cars ..... Doors are the last thing needed for any car racing, street or strip..

That where you need your safety...Not to mention it wont past Tech inspect at any sanctioned track..


THOSE ARE GOOD FOR LAMBO DOORS AT BEST SORRY...
I seen way too many accidents in my line of business where doors save lives ...

 

Add fiberglass doors to the mix.....your body alone can run thru a fiberglass door..




Sorry i just whole heartedly think is a bad bad idea...

 

sorry, forgot to ask how much it'll be

 

There is something inside the doors to protect them. They have a couregated panel about 6"-8" high that runs from the front to the back of the door. The top half of the included pic shows the bottom of the panel.

 

Heres another shot you can see the extra panel in the top right corner

 

True, that saved a friends life when I totalled one of my previous celica's....

 

I believe Jim cut that out of his race car....but he's got a cage....

These fiberglass doors wouldnt be safe in a crash....unless you have a cage.... but anyone that's buying them is probably racing already otherwise whats the point, and will most likely have a cage anyway!

Fender's would be a good idea as well, they're a fairly simple design and always rust out at the bottom....

 

I'd still like to know a price before I commit to anything.

Well I still think alot of questions need to be answered.


Our hoods come with this metal bar mounted right in them so will the fiberglass replacement also have this bar included.


Our hoods have the mounting bolts for the hinges permanently mounted so will the fiberglass hood come with the mounting bolts allready inserted.


The sunroof has 6 bolts permanently mounted in it.


The sunroof has a thin lip about 1/4" high and 1mm wide which is used to hold the weather stripping in the channel indicated by the yellow line.


The door has a couple of bolts permanently mounted in it.


2 more pics of the couregated safety panel inside the door.
