Hi do any one knoe if the directly bolt on kit for the Toyota Celica will fit on the Mk2 MR2, im sure they might not fit but how far away are the factory holes in the door jams from the Mr2 and the Celica, do any one have pics of them because im thinking about buying the directly bolt on kit for the Toyota Celica and custom fit it on the mr2 since they do not make em for the Mr2, but i think i seen them befor but well over a G, i found some on ebay for $500 ship for the celica http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7952690332&category=33642 any one think i should do this and would it be that hard? Any help will do and thanks Quang :evillaugh

THere is a guy across the seas that has developed a bolt on hinge kit with a gas prop that will convert the doors to lambo style I lost his email address but I think he was selling it for 565? Not bad considering its for the MR2 and it just bolts on.

I'm always interested in Lambo doors... for practicality. Seriously. I have a 1 car garage with NO space to open the doors regularly. I know that the doors will slant out when lambo-opened, but there's substantially more room up there than ground level.

I ain't payin no 1k for it, though. My sister has a 94 Celica, when she gets home I'll measure the differences and see if they might work. However, the door weight probably isn't the same. And I hear that most often the front fender must be rolled (not sure why).

I'll also try n' snap some pics, I'm sure that'd help!

Buy a specific kit... I had to kit a unviersal kit on the mr2 and it was so hard. The only universal kit you should even consider look at (in i my own opinon) is gt factory. Did i mention im sponsered by auto loc ?

 

[BoiTrdMiStErTWO]

Raven thanks for the input and yes pictures would be great if you can take some, if you can send it to [email protected], Blake Gomez : I have always loved the Gt factory door kit because it gose 90% up but the only thing is that its way out of my buget............thanks guys

Ok, I took some pics, here they are... I couldn't get any of my MR2 cause it's in the garage n there's not enough room... I assume everyone has one though

i remembered some guy in i think germany made a kit , SILO his name was on the message board. he even had a video of it somewhere on this board . im at work right now prob find it later and post it up .

 

[Flux]

I just noticed that the kit you were looking at was for a 2000+ Celica. All of the Celica kits come for that year and newer that I could find on ebay... I'm not so sure if the door patter/layout is the same on my sister's 94. (the MR2 and 94 Celica seem to have very similar looks) Anyone have a newer Celica?

Of course, it might be better to wait on the guy in that other thread... seems like he's gonna be selling sort of soon. That would rock!

Roll the fender is a must for the hinge to work properly. You need to cut approx 10 inches and remove the bit, or just fold it in. In the pic im pointing at the part that need to rolled. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v411/Znigel/Framskrm.jpg

You also need to hammer this bit down, just make a cut, and hammer it even to the body. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v411/Znigel/Plt.jpg

This is how the hinge looks like, and it uses all the OEM bolt-holes, all five of them, to make it as stable as possible. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v411/Znigel/2Bult.jpg

Looking nice Zvampen how much are you looking to get for the kit and how much would shippin be?

 

[Zvampen]

i have no idea yet, i don't want to price it yet, since i don't know the cost of manufacturing them yet. But I'm on it..
Just talked to the company who's gonna make the damper, and the said it is impossible. Ill have to find a damper that already exists on the market, and then modify the hinges to fit the damper.

[DanaDane]

prices are too steep for me, i'm gonna wait and see what Zvampen can do for us

 

[renelsisc]

Zvampen,

Do your lambo doors move straight up or does it have to open sideways like a regular door and THEN it'd move up?? I understand that due to the nature of our doors, it is impossible to have it straight up, so it'd be tilted on an angle, do you know how steep that angle will be? Also, reason why i'm asking is because i saw this prelude the other day, and the guy did that, but when i saw him opening his door, he had to push it outwards like a regular door, and THEN push it upwards, so it seems kinda redundent to me to open the door "twice"....i think i like this on my mr2 too, but that was one of my concerns...

Is it just door hinges holding it up, or is there like hydraulics like a trunk door opener or something? if it is just hinges, would it hold up after wear and tear?

sorry i'm so neaty picky about these details....thanx.

Gary.

 

[tilus]

Yes, you got to push it outwards.
How much...i can't tell exactly, we did a good job, and you got to open as much as needed for the inside panel to clear the fender.
You don't really have to push it up...the shock we use is strong, it pulls the door up pretty easily!

 

[BoiTrdMiStErTWO]

yes to cspower.com kit cost to much for me also so imma just wait and see on Zvampen kit........
