Lightweight doors 4th gen

Hi Guys,

As some of you know I'm trying to finish my time attack turbo build.
As I have gutted everything but installed a full and (heavy) cage I still want to save more weight.
I know Richy Voaden has taken it to extreme but don't think he has special doors.
Now my doors are fully stripped and I have lexan windows installed but they still weigh a ton!

Already emailed fiberworks about custom doors .

Does anyone know a place were they can make fiberglass doors for the prelude? Uk based not in the states.

Is anyone else interested?

Let me know!

I have never seen anyone with fibreglass or carbon doors. I'm fairly sure Rich has stripped down OEM doors.

If you do find something let me know as I would deffo want a set.

Imo not one is thinking Ariel atom enough.

Get a nice solid cage and then remove all metal all together.

You could give these guys a shout. They're right near me, as is Fibreworx.

Have you removed as much of the internal skin as possible, leaving a lip to fix a CF panel too?

Thanx, will wait what the rest says first. If they are that close, maybe you can drop by to have a chat with them in person? That always works better.

And yes, doors are fully gutted striped and bottom even drilled . Still think they are way too heavy..
Civic doors are available as are integra doors .. Surprised richy never had them made!
We're is he anyway

I've met Alex from Fibreworx a couple of times now. I was only texting him the other day about getting some CF cloth and resins from him, so I might be seeing him soon anyway

I reckon it's the frame that has all the weight?
