Lambo Doors

[Leigh]

are they legal in vic? can u get defected for them?

if so how much is it to engineer your car?

will they affect insurance?

anyones opinions on them?

[R31Nismoid]

1) They are illegal until the are engineered, any modification is.

2) Consult the engineer before you start any modification and they will tell you what they will require to approve it. There is a link in the sticky (top of this section)

3) Of course it will, its a modification and you must tell insurance companies about it and thus pricing can go up.

4) They are pure wank factor. It makes getting in/out of the car a bit of an effort also if its a daily

Tight car spots, some underground carparks you can forget about it

so what your saying is they are a waste of money? haha... what about CF bonnets

[[WLDCRD]]

before you do it, i suggest you talk to someone who has it. the 3 people that i know, say its a waste of money. doors are heavy to lift and the struts wear out.

I have seen these on a few cars in the UK "gull wing doors". Definately wouldnt bother, leave it to the manufacturers where they came from factory.

There is a calibra in Perth with them I think. Do a search, you might find it. Think it is dark blue/purple. He may be able to advise.

in other news, i saw a gallardo on beach road yesterday... haawwwttt... dream car, black gallardo.

yeah, bit of a waste of money i reckon....

where as doors like the Dalorian (sp?) are a very worthwhile investment

[Leigh]

atm i have exhaust, cooler boost controller pod bov turbo timer...

got 1k-1.5k to spend

id definately do ecu

[Al]

Wolf 3D is also a great alternative to Power fc. It all depends where you get your car serviced and who you trust to tune your ecu properly and safely.

[KamikazeR33]
