Leave the front doors and suicide the back. I've got a buddy that did an old 4 door accord like that and turned out really nice. In the event that you want the door popper kit would definatly recommend that you get an autoloc kit.

I am thinking about suiciding the back doors once the lambos are in. THat is something I would definately have to have someone do. Cause i htink that would take some serious modifications to the door and frame that you wouldn't be able to do with a bolt on kit.

Nope definatly no bolt on kits for suicide doors, you can buy pre made hinges but that's about it. I had them on my f-150, it's fun but does take some work.

:? I think Lambo doors would look better on the tC. I find cars that have short doors dont look good with a Lambo style. You need that long door with a short hight for it to look good. That 1 guy who has pics, it looks like it would be a PITA to get in & out of. I would probably run my head into the door or something. Just my $.02

I know that the opening to get in the car looks really small but I am 6'2 260 and its really not that big of a deal. I don't struggle to get in and i got used to getting in it already.

I guess thats good then. From the picture it looked a little small. Must be the angle it was taken at. I take it that the doors not only open up but also angle out some right?

Yeah the doors still open regular but only about half way because when the door goes up the door panel has to clear the pilar. when it was first installed it was rubbing the pilar so it had to be tweaked a little.

we found that the doors opened only 12-14 inches before needing to be lifted up....

do you have the PE300 in there????

This guy is absolutely right.. I think lambo doors on an xB are nuts! It looks like someone ripped off your door and its hanging in space, it's not fluid at all. Shouldn't you do things that suit the vehicle?

Default Lambo

Yes the front doors only open to about 13". But it does keep larger ladies out of the front. The rear doors first stop is about 13" so they both open about the same to that point.
dgHotLava Yes I do have a Power Enenterprise PE300.

Default PE300

Love it. I got a killer deal on mine. The boost hits about 3000 and pulls strong all the way to redline. One thing the redline gets there very fast. I am putting my SPEC stage 3 clutch (check out their link below, they have a lot of clutch setups for our xBs) and maybe a header in before I head to the dyno.

just wait till you get a header on there.....

do you have a boost gauge??? watch what boost you get with the header :twisted: :twisted:
and the clutch will help (i bet the stock one is slipping....)


and the lambos do keep the fattys out...lol

Default Boost

Yah I talked to Glenn and he went from 7 to 11psi with a header. They snapped a half axle on the dyno. So I may look into heavier half axles if I am going to be running it hard.
