Lambo Doors

any body here know how to make and install your own lambo doors ?

i would really like to take it toa shop and have them do it to my civic but i would more like to kinda F%& with it my self.




also i need a wide body kit for my 93 civic hatchback any body got one they dont want ill buy it off of you. . . . . .

Decah, Chin Wah, VDC, GT Factory, and VDI are all the Lambo door conversion companies I know of that make it for civics. I would say GT factory is the best, and Decah would be second. They're all bolt on mods. It'll be about an hour per door. You'll need two people to do it... because you need someone to hold the door as you bolt it on.

thanks silverbolt, so basicly all it is, is just kinda like a hindge that is bolted onto the door and fender well or something like that ? ? ? ?

MAN I WOULD KILL FOR LAMBO DOORS. hell even sucide doors

It's basically a hinge (decah refernce to it as a bi-direction pivioting assembly) that bolts to the chassis under the fender. Part of the hinge/pivioting assembly (the door plate) bolts to the door. A high pressure shock then gones from one point on the piviotn assembly/hinge to a second. The door is then able to open out and up, and the shock will safly hod the door in place while it's up in the air (and make opeing and closing easier).

Decah comes with the sotck bolt pattern for your car already drilled into the bi-directional pivioting assembly (hinge). With GT Factory, I beleive you have to drill your own bolt pattern into the chassis and door plates, using the sotck holes as your pattern (it's not rocket science). You also have an option of welding the assembly to the chassis, though unlike the pervious options, this is by far and definatly permanant and un-reversable if the need to take them off ever arises.

Also, get a torque wrench and make sure to torque the bolts down to the listed torque specs for the OEM door jhinges. Torqueing them too tight (especially on the door plate, and it's very easy to torque them too tight by hand!!!) results in the door starting to flare outward.

As Silverbolt said, you'll need a friend to lean again the door and keep it on, against the car and nice and snug while bolting the hinges/assmeblies on. Remember, once the stock hinges are off, theirs nothing holdng the dor on anymore until you get the new parts on.

Oh, you also need to splice in the wiring extentions so that the wiring has enough slack to move when the doors are opened upward. This is extremly use to do, just make sure to disconnect the battery before you go splicing the extentions in.

the kit is easy to bolt on but its adjusting it and making sure the door closes right and all the body lines match up that is difficult. although because of the way the doors open i dont think that they will work with the wide body kit. also make sure you get a warranty on those shocks because they dont last long. im looking for someone to fabricate a stronger shock for my doors! good luck.

A wide body wont effect it.

Widebody can be done, but depending on the widebody design you have (true widebody, just flares, etc), it may range from being no issue at all to being complex in regards to how to make it work. I know someone with a widebody MR2 in seattle where it was quite the pain in the ass to make lambo doors work.

One of the main reasons the body lines don't line up is people don't take care when re-installing rolled fenders. They just bolt em on and expect it all to line up. Fit and Finish of body panels requires moe than just throwing them one, especially with a rolled fender, where how much the fender bulges out or in (causing unsightly gap) is a concern. You need to take take time and make sure the fender/door lines are flush before and during bolting the fender on. You just rolled the fender remember, so it's very easy to push the edge of the fender (near the door) in and out. You can't due this with a regulaer fender, but rolling it takes away part of the structural rigidity of this part. As a result, you have to pay more attention when bolting it on, something most people simlpy don't do.

If you've never installed anything like this or never done body work of any kind before, you might find it difficult to get the doors to shut tight and the body lines to line up. Once you do it a few times, taking care to get the whole process correct, it goes pretty quickly. It's the little tricks you learn that make the differnce.

Secondly, WETPAINT, the reason your shocks wore out so quickly is you bought a knock-off brand. You said in the other thread you bout "doorsup." ALL VDC KITS ARE NOT CREATED EQAUL!!! The knock off brands are just that, cheap knock offs!! They may look the same, but much like apc and sonar, looks ia where the similarity ends. The qaulity is poor, manufacturing cheap, etc. Decah was the first comany to sell a bolt on VDC, and they designed the design many bootleg companies try to rip off. Decah's VDC has plenty strong shocks, and they WILL hold up. They no-where say for show use only. Decah Also stands by their products. The reason you've had issues with the kit and the reason your shocks wore out it simple, you bought cheap imination bootlegs. Much like car shocks, just because they look the same does not mean the are the same. It might look like Decah's VDC, but the qaulity's far from it. I can tell you first hand Decah's VDC and shocks will hold up.

If you want stronger shocks, call up Decah. They should still sell shocks indivdually. Since doorupo bootlegged Decah's design, it's looks as if Decah's shocks should bolt right in fine. You don't need to design stronger shocks, you needed to buy a qaulity kit that came with them and not a cheap bootlegged rip-off imitation kit. Buying the shocks from a qaulity company like Decah is a place to start, since I doubt you want to buy a whole new kit. I can't gaurntee it will solve all the issues related to a cheap knock-off, but you'll have qauilty shocks at least. As I said above, think of it like suspension on a car. You don't want to buy the cheapest shit that looks the same, you want to buy what is qaultiy and works. Why? Just because the 2 shocks look the same doesn't mean they are the same!!!! Looks are deciving.

Decah, Ask for Kevin.
