Does anyone know if you could make your doors lighter or do they have a ligher OEM door for sale? The doors are freakin heavy!

 

I do not think there are.... and why would you want to? IMO I would want my doors to be nice and sturdy in case of an accident.

 

yeah why would you want that

 

well for starters i race every now and then and would like the car to be a little bit more lighter and i was also thinking about getting the lambo doors kit which i've herd some complaints of it beeing to heavy and the struts might just fail.

 

yeah! From what I understand it's heavy for protection purposes.
Unless youre planning build a track only car, having these heavy doors may be a good thing.

 

Doesn't sound like he's building a track car if he wants to get lambo doors.

There's other ways he can lighten his car.

 

If you Lighten the doors then when you close your doors it will Sound like a GM or FORD product!...HaHa

 

^^^ haha, clink clink clunk

Yea, they (and pretty much the rest of the car) are heavy because of the steel going everywhere, to help protect you in an accident.

Besides, do you know how friggin long our doors are? Even without the steel they'd still be pretty heavy.

If you want to get serious about racing, you might want to consider a fast car, not a tC

 

You could possibly remove the window motor and have the window permanently up, that would drop most of the weight. You could also cut off the outer shell and make a carbon fiber mold and replace that.

 

Offer to trade doors with someone with a Spec tC. Those doors aren't clad with metal so they'll be lighter.

 

How about losing the speakers?

 

I was watching an episode of street furry couple months back, and at a booth at a HIN show, a company was offering carbon fiber door replacements.

the whole door was carbon fiber, the had some on an 06 stang, looked cool

 

If you are going to the track and are worried about weight, try going on a diet. Better for you, lightens the car, and you retain the safety of the reinforced doors. Scion made the doors heavy for a reason.

 

^^The car could certainly go on a diet too.

 

if you want some thing with heavy doors try a PT cruiser GT convertible now those doors a freakin heavy

 

How MUCH does Our doors Weigh anyways??
and Compared to other doors???

 

Our doors really aren't that heavy. They're just long as hell, so they take as much torque as a Honda makes to open and close.

 

^Ha haa!

 

LOL if i was going to make a track car i would go with fixed doors...heheh

 

Some Seibon CF doors as the ones for the 86 Trueno would be nice!
