    compressor + air drill + wire wheel set will clean up the underside really well

    electric drill dies which is fair enough...

    I think the next big hit will be carbon doors filled with helium... However, hydrogen is optional, only for the most hardcorest of racers

    Hi fellas...

    I am interested in these doors, but guess that gutting standard doors would be just as effective...

    Just disappointed that someone obviously has the skills to make them out of fibreglass and then TRIES to sell them with
    massive amounts of takumi tax...

    I would buy them if they were around $500 a pair...surely there is still money in that for the manufacturer...??

    Regards

    Scott

    You have to imagine, making a door is a lot harder than say a bonnet or hatch.

    It'd have the inside layer and outside layer, the mould HAS to be good, so that you can attach all the locking and shutting mechanisms. Including your trim. etc etc.

    In all honesty, people used to complain that there was no fibreglass items in Australia. Now someone makes them, and you're still whinging. Try bringing in the same parts from Japan, without getting smacked with freight costs and taxes.

    No, it's not Takumi tax, Takumi never even used frp hatches or doors. lol

    In saying that, wait awhile, I'm sure he'll realise his price is too high and drop it because no one is buying.

    Yep I'd be onto a pair for $500 bucks, but $900ish does sound fair considering good bodykits sell for a few grand and a door is twice as complex.

    There was a mob in NZ() making and selling all FRP AE86 body parts, inc doors, hatches etc. But for some reason they're website seem to no longer exist? They were a lot cheaper than the ones on eBay.

    where i am getting orgin frp ones from japan for 900 to my door and also
    soon as you hit the $1000 mark you get hit with more of a import tax
