Can i fit poppers with lambo doors ???

15th November 2006, 03:10

Im fitting lambo doors on my saxo some time next week but im wondering can i fit poppers aswell so that when the button is pressed the doors will automaticly open and go up.

Thanks

hmm not sure, are you referring to the tvr style ones?

15th November 2006, 23:58

Yes the same type you get on a tvr

if you do make sure each door is separate or you will have problems when your at an indoor car park
i would have thought itd just pop open slightly though and then you have to push it up unless you get a kit that has a mechanism to make them go up

16th November 2006, 00:03

Yeah thats what i was hoping for just to press the button and the doors lift by themselves

16th November 2006, 00:07

separate kit then more than likely

16th November 2006, 00:08

no mate as Matt rightly said, you will have to buy a different hinge, one that is powered by something, like a small hydraulic (sp) which would push the door upwards and open it! this wont happen with standard lambo hinges!! post pics when its all done! oh and where did you get the kit from?

16th November 2006, 00:09

popers certainly wont lift the doors up. it will only pop them open. it will cost a lot to get the door to open upwards on their own. you would probly have to pay someone to custom make it for you and will cost an arm and leg

and would you rather keep your arm and legs m8

now that wouldn't be too much of a problem for me cause theres a graveyard opposite my street! so i might get one now!

lmao culd u b arsed to dig sum up tho? lol

16th November 2006, 12:22

Yeah it is possible but as most people have said you're gonna need a mechanism to lift the doors rather than just a popper kit. There is a Chrysler Neon round my way that has lambos on the front and suicide doors on the back and they open at the touch of a button and the door lift up.

linear aculator is what you need or summat simailar

try saying that fast lol

Cheers peeps i have booked my car in to a local garage that deals with customising cars and they have said they will be able to sort it so that the doors lift when you pop the doors. The down sides are its gonna take them a few weeks to do and its gonna cost me a fortune. (around £1000) I dont care though as long as it looks good.

Will post a vid of it when its all done.

Apparently not :thumbdown: Would of saved me alot of money if they did.

17th November 2006, 16:22

they should do after a certain point of opening if you had powerfull struts

17th November 2006, 16:25

Yeah they do go up on there own after they are half way up but im wanting to be lazy and just press the button on my remote and the door just slides open without touching the door

17th November 2006, 16:33

how much did the actual kit cost you?

I paid £495 for the hindges and £100 for the popper kit but not sure what the other bits are gonna cost till they get them in and fit them.

17th November 2006, 16:40

You can buy the hindges off flea bay for £450 and they are made to fit the saxo so no welding. Im just having to get some others as im wanting the machanical doors that lift on there own (lazy really lol)

18th November 2006, 23:02

i can tell you how to make them go up but not been a cu*t but youd have to send me a pound for the info,also i know exactly what its all about as iv made these for rear boot doors and atempted on the front on a civic,(im no pro)but its not hard but time consuming
