btw i might be keeping my car now, i'm debating with myself, not sure what i'm gonna do

this one was one of my favorites, we were out street racing one night and 3 of us from ThunderCruise3/S were in front of EVERYONE pulling into the parking lot we were meeting at, so i had to snap a picture. On the far left is my friend's Chris's 92 VR-4, and then my 94 SLTT is in the middle, and then my other friends 93 Stealth RT/TT is on the far right. And then next to K.D., you can barely see if my other friend, Robby's WRX

Its about time you got those shot up. I got a feeling that those second thoughts are going to keep that beauty yours :iceslolan

Alright well the resolution sucks, but here it is the first hour after I bought it:

Nice pics, cant wait to see it completed. How much do the vertical doors cost total? With shipping+install, etc.

got mine for 1375 shipped to my door, and installing them myself.

Damn talskinyguy, that project of yours looks crazy. What are you planning to do to it? That's tight that you could do the work yourself. I wish I could.... :(

There is a ton of stuff that getting done to the car. Ill make a list some time.

The work isnt all that hard, this is the first car I have ever done most of this stuff too. Ive found that when your not afraid of breaking stuff you learn the most, and most things arent as hard as they sound or look.

Here are my VR4's. I no longer have the 92 (Red One), but I'm getting a new, fully tuned motor put in the 95 (Blue one). I plan on keeping it a long time. There is no better car out there under $125k!

i'll second that

got mine for 1375 shipped to my door, and installing them myself.

are those the vls hinges? i thought they were $1500. did you get some kind of special discount?

as far as installing them, they are pretty easy and come with good instructions right?

Yup, VLS and I got a special deal. They are 1500+35 shipping+45 if you use paypal. Instructions are pretty good, but ya get antsy and dont read them until ya run into problems, lol.

damn, i want those things but they are at least a year down the road for me. so how do i get this special deal (wink wink nudge nudge ;) )

I can prolly get ya the deal, but you would have to buy this week, and I mean buy, as in send the money. Not put your name on a list to buy as soon as ya get the money. Since you said it would be a year before you can buy them its pretty much out of the question.

you guys have some nice looking cars

thanks :icon16:

doh' well yea, i can't do that. i am currently dumping about $6000 into go fast mods so that is pretty much wiping out my money for a while. hopefully i will have another several grand before next summer and that is when i will do the vls and the suspension/driveline/breaks mods.

1500 just for hinges???? That's a lot

1500 just for hinges???? That's a lot

Considering what they're used for and how infrequently they are needed (how many cars have doors opening like that?) the price is going to be quite high indeed.

The cheepest kit other than the VLS one is 1800 and its generic, meaning you have to fabricate some stuff so it will work on your car. Cheep it is not, but it is cheeper than everyone else, and its made spacifically for the 3S.

1500 just for hinges???? That's a lot

that is really cheap acctually. if you wanted to take your car to a shop and have them fabricate you something like this it would probably cost around $5000 - $7000. it takes a lot of time and energy to make something like this that works well and then you have to get a good cnc machine to make them and it costs a lot to have work done on a cnc.

^^^ I don't about all that, my dad worked in a machine shop for about 10 years I'll ask him sometime. I know they cost that much, but I think its a rip off

i know the guy who designed the vls hinges spent a long time designing them so that they would work very well, i think hundreds of hours would be an understatement. designing, testing, redesigning, retesting etc. if he only spent 200 hours (i am pretty sure he spent a lot more than that) that would come out to $2000 in design lobor alone if he worked for $10 per hour. that would not include time on the cnc or the materials used and good luck finding someone to do a project like that for $10 per hour. what i am saying is that if you wanted to get one set just for you, i think you whould have a hard time getting what he has for less than $5000.

on the other hand, if you have access to cad tools and a cnc for free (the cad software is very pricy and the cnc that the vls hinges were made on cost about $1,000,000) then you could have these hinges for very cheap, the cost of the materials, which i would assume is in the range of a few hundred dollers at most. this guy can now sell them for $1500 because he can make a profit off of that and the hard part is done. also he spent a lot of time and effort to get air struts that were just right for our doors and he made a design that can open oem or verticle just by inserting or removing a pin.

I could prob get the materails and machined for under a grand by dad, I would have to someone design them :banghead: , that little pin feature is pretty cool do they make kits for other cars?

it is all about who/what you know :)

i know that they are making them for a few other cars. i think the eclipse and rx-7 were up next. looks like from your avatar that you got a 300ZX so i am not sure. i would go to their website (do a google search for vls or something) and get yourself and others from a big 300ZX board to bug him to make them for your cars until he does if he does not allready :p

Okay, lets see if this works....if so this is me.

Just thought I would share a little. :biggrin:

you are very pretty.

lol, i like how you call the car "he"

nice to see more girls on a car site, did not really expect so many in a small community like this. just don't pull a nesryn and be another girl with an sl like it says you are planning in your sig, go for the vr-4 (braces for long distance punch from nesryn)

funny, from far away you look like a nice girl but close up you look more like a red x, maybe put some makup on that or something ;)

what mods do you have to your delsol ibkitty?

Thank you. Close up should be fixed now. I know I should just go for the VR4, but for what year I am looking for is quite not in my price range and I am also buying the car from an auto broker. He is a friend of the family and buys from auctions nation wide, he says he only comes across VR4's once and a great while, but on the other hand he printed out 32 cars that up for auction nation wide and there were only Base and SL's listed. As much as I really want a VR4 right now is not the time, I guess. So there is nothing wrong with an SL, besides when I do bring home a VR4 it will have a SL waiting in the garage for it. :biggrin:

As for my little Honda right now, well, I call it a 'he' only because, it has never given me any problems for the hell I have put it through *knocks on near by wood real quickly*. I bought that car for autocross, not a daily driver, but unfortunately, to make a longer story shorter, I had to wake it up from sleeping for a year, yet not quite ready to be revived, had to put it on the road as a daily driver and it now has been two years on the road after sloppily put back together. Never dragged the car, remember it is a Del 'Slo' when it comes to that, but he handles like a dream.
Tenzo; upper and lower rear strut tower bars, upper front strut tower bar, upper and lower, front and rear sway bars, open lower air intake, short shift, and 17" tenzo R rims with yokohoma *bad spelling maybe? Also Ibach struts and springs. Front and rear cross drilled rotors w/ ceramic pads. 2.5" exhaust from headers back, gutted cat and carbon fiber, if I remember right Flowmaster...? I happen to be working on the fuel rail up grades when it had to be pulled back out onto the road. :disappoin

Ohwell, it will be back in the garage soon though, at least shortly before my B-Day, becasue that's when the dead line is for the 3GTSL.
There's a little more info. :biggrin:

nice, i think the sl is just fine, you get ok speed with top of the line styling. good luck

i just got this cool little camera thingy at walmart so i'm just testing it out and posting more pics, why not.

Sory it's alot of pics but I jsut have to show it off!

thats a nice car, what is that some type of ferrari?

Hehe, I can't wait to hear stuff like that! And to actually drive it! But first I need plates!!! arrrrgh..... and a lot of time so I can learn to use the manual gizmo in it... hope I can get used to it quickly.

are you just learning how to drive a manual?

plates aren't a biggie, the fact that you have the car is the important thing :)

Thats a sharp looking SL :bigthumb:

lol i still dont know how u guys get these damn pics up in herr. I still cant do it lol OH yea by the way i finally got my new comp so you will be see more more often agian :)

Nice, clean looking SL you have got there Thourun . :)

Yea I hope it runs as good as it looks, makes kind of a funny smell when I started it up today but i think it might have been some soap that got into the engine compartment when I washed it yesterday. The only complaints I have are with the audio system one of the tweeters is kinda scratchy and the stupid volume nob type thingy is totaly $&%#ed up and hard to controll. And yes this is my first experience with a manual. And to post an pic directally in most if not all web boards the format is " URL of the pic you have hosted elsewhere " without the quotation marks of course, hope that helps clear thigs up AZN.

Well, if you open a new window and then copy and paste the links, they should work. :)

Does the site you used to host allow direct linking? And next time preview your posts especially if you are posting pics.
