TLicense Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I think they're called scissor doors, not sure. Anyway I saw a programme on motors tv about the tuning scene in the states, and there is a company that has developed a unit that means you can open your doors in a diablo-esque manner. Would look pretty fantastic on a supra I think. From what I could see in the programme the door opens more or less parallel from the car untill it is clear of the roof/wing, and then pivots about an axis perpendicular to the car positioned somewhere around the leading edge of the door. They said they could be fitted in a couple of hours and required only removal of the door and wing. Did anybody see it or know of the company that are doing this?

Kevin Huntley Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 The Lambo style doors were very big at the Tokyo autosalon this year just about all the big name tunners had them on there demo cars. I did'nt think I would like them but I saw them on the Yellow Abflug widebody Supra and there starting to grow on me There was plenty companies selling kits specificaly for the Supra but from memory they were around £1500 - £2000 + fitting which I would rather spend on other mods at the moment.

Bradb Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I think the problem is you'd look a first class bellend getting in and out of a sub 10k car with 2k on d00r mods. As safe as tehy are unsafe in my book. AIG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 It just looks plain odd with standard doors IMO, gullwing doesn't look too bad though.... or maybe it does.... can't decide http://www.megaboost.co.uk/supra/tuners/vs_evo.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
