james@cjperformance Posted January 27, 2011 Author Posted January 27, 2011 ^^^ ha ha i still have more cutting to do on it yet lolmight just cut the bar out on one of them and see if it falls apart, can allways pick up another door. Quote
Idrees Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Try it, I've a dozen spare doors here if you mess it up! Quote
james@cjperformance Posted January 28, 2011 Author Posted January 28, 2011 ^^^^ cheers iddy i will have a go at it later on and see how i get on.the frame for the window should be enough to hold the door straight but we will see. Quote
ryan lang Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 you doing the cage yourself dude? or some1 else doing it for you?gunna be sweet as Quote
james@cjperformance Posted January 28, 2011 Author Posted January 28, 2011 will be doing everything myself dude, including the cage and spraying will just take a little longer,even going to have a go at road mapping myself hopefully i will have it ready by built by the end of the year so i can run it in map it and then possibly prep it ready for toyota sprint 2012 Quote
james@cjperformance Posted January 28, 2011 Author Posted January 28, 2011 quick update on the doors, i have just cut the door bar out and it seems to still be pretty solid, each door bar weighs just shy of 2.5 kilos.although i would not recommend doing this if you have no intention of putting a cage in Quote
Sparky Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Awsome work mate keep up the weight saving Quote
james@cjperformance Posted April 30, 2011 Author Posted April 30, 2011 not much of an update really, picked up an uncut front bumper from amjad the other daygoing to start cutting the tunnel and seat mounts out today aswell as the inner boot skin.pics to follow Quote
ryan lang Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 take the spare wheel well with it then stick and aluminium sheet across it Quote
james@cjperformance Posted April 30, 2011 Author Posted April 30, 2011 ^^^^ spare wheel well is long gone lol that was the first to go Quote
Driver Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Cut bars out of doors :thumbs up:They will be about as sturdy as the british economy but its mainly there to help in side impacts but that lovely cage will have you covered in that case.Wobbly doors are cool anyway, speaking from experiance Quote
Bluebear Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 Wobbly doors are cool anyway, speaking from experiance Hell yeah. Just look at the Bodywork EP82 EVO vid when Tsuchiya Keiichi opens a door and then just laughs at it because it's that flimsy. Quote
james@cjperformance Posted April 30, 2011 Author Posted April 30, 2011 my doors dont wobble, will have to see what else i can cut out of it lol Quote
Sparky Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Im sure they are FRP doors on the EVO82Anyway this build is crazy, couldnt believe it when James said you can literally pick the shell up Cant wait to see some progress, flat floor should really help!! Quote
mrkd5916 Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 one word fella, mental! i would not be 100% happy about cutting out the door bars but, it look like your going for the right cage to protect yourself, have a look at the price to get it welded in tho as it not to bad for the amount of work involed, are you going to seam weld all as well? Quote
james@cjperformance Posted May 1, 2011 Author Posted May 1, 2011 yes the whole car will be seam welded as will the cage be welded in.the sills will be foam filled aswell.as for the doors the door bars are shite in any case so would be much happier with the cage instead. Quote
Taggy Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Cracking work so far, good to see someone else is going mad with the cutting yes the whole car will be seam welded as will the cage be welded in.the sills will be foam filled aswell.as for the doors the door bars are shite in any case so would be much happier with the cage instead.

turbo Grant Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Looks like the same cage that's in mine. Mines not t45 tho. And the mk1 GT doors don't have door bars so no love loss there. Be nice to see the billet cranks group buy Quote
