does anyone know where i can find the doors for my car, in carben fiber, or just fiber glass, im building a drag car and im trying to lose some weight.

 

Why not just gut them out and put up plexi glass for windows? Are you gonna gut out the whole interior?

 

pretty much but im making it a street pro car, ill still beable to drive it on the streets if i want to, thats why im looking for these doors, cuz i really dont feel like caring around a drill so i can remove the driver and passer windows all the time. it would just make it easyer.

 

Oh I see. Build a stronger motor to compensate I guess. I'm not sure where to find carbon Fiber doors though. Sounds mighty expensive if they exist.

 

well i know places make them but im not sure where i can find them and if they make them for the ef, ive seen them for the eg already

 

I don't think anyone makes them. I wouldn't be concerned about it though. I wouldn't even worry about plexiglass. Glass isn't that heavy.

The glass on the hatch has to weigh more than 5lbs?

you would think it weighs alot more than it does i was suprised when I held the glass up and then the piece of lexan the glass was only like a lb or 2 heavier....I lost ALOT of weight skining the doors though

 

Yeah but 1lb in an all motor car is alot... Also I would Never run skinned doors on the street... Thats dumb.

 

IF you want a full functioning door, get a JDM door, its much lighter than a reg US stock door.

Same with EF doors from Canada.

Not sure about all years but my 88 doors are much lighter than "USDM" doors.

I run lexan with a swiss cheesed OEM hatch. It's much lighter!

I'll weigh it and snap some pics if someone weighs a stock one for me. I always run it at the track to help with weight transfer.

 

rock the full functioning doors IMO
