September 6, 200521 yr Author comment_68619 D'oh, my bad guys. Forgot to search, you can close this thread if you want. Thanks Troy P.s. Its illegal to remove the side intrustion bars ey? Edited September 6, 200521 yr by boofis Report
September 7, 200521 yr comment_68656 I'm considering swapping to KE30 doors on Lola, however take into account that this car is currently for racing use only, so I'll be putting a proper rollcage in in when I start getting serious (ie, get her running). Should I decide to get her registered, I'll be leaving KE55 doors in (or putting them back in). I wouldn't even consider taking them out if the car was for road use. And I agree with Nick, I'd almost guarantee that you have to keep the side intrusion bars as the car was ADR'd with them. Report
September 7, 200521 yr comment_68670 I'm currently (and have been sort of for a little while) on the lookout for a drivers (I think it's drivers) side door for my car too, off a KE35 (without side intrusion). They weigh so much less... Report

September 9, 200521 yr comment_69083 I'm currently (and have been sort of for a little while) on the lookout for a drivers (I think it's drivers) side door for my car too, off a KE35 (without side intrusion). They weigh so much less... I thought yours was a KE35? If it's KE55 and you're planning only to use the KE35's driver's side door, I'm assuming that you're trying to balance the weight distribution side-to-side to offset driver's weight? Report
September 9, 200521 yr comment_69089 Thanks, i will now be very wary about being T - BONED in my ke36! Funny how the ke36 wagon weighs less than the ke30 sedan??? Report
September 9, 200521 yr comment_69101 ancullen: yes, mine is a KE35, but one of my doors is off a KE55 (original door was rusted to shit). I recon I'd probably save maybe 10kg just by changing doors back to a KE35 one... Report
September 10, 200521 yr comment_69264 losing weight makes a difference, especially with smaller cars that by taking off weight you are removing a higher percentage of the car's total weight than if the car was huge to begin with Report
September 10, 200521 yr comment_69333 Don't tease me..... 10kg! it would be about that, no shit Report
