b.weeks Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Hi all, Anyone know of replacement door cards for the Supra? The interior has been stripped out so weight is a consideration. In addition, I have a weld in roll cage, so the existing door cards would foul the roll cage, so I don't think the Seibon CF ones would fit either as more of less the same shape. Might have to be a custom jobbie ... Cheers, Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolarbag Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I've seen quite a few with just sheets of Carbon Fibre, just leave them off, unnecessary weight;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Make some kind of handle and forget the cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Make some kind of handle and forget the cards. Seibon are the only ones that I know off that are off the shelf, so to speak. Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolarbag Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 The handle is arleady there, jobs a good un It would be nice to see some ideas though, I try fine pics of CRD's car that has nice precise carbon sheeting, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Numerous race cars use flat sheet carbon like the pic shown (kevlar/carbon). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b.weeks Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 Yeah, that does look quite tidy ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Bear in mind that pic is of a complete composite door (for an Alfa GTV) but a stock door with flat sheet should be very similar and the CF would weigh bugger all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b.weeks Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 Not near my car - trying to recall if the door card would be flat or not on the standard metal underneath ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
