Installation of lambo hinges (Updated) — Toyota Celica, 1.8 liter, 2001

Like many selikavody after buying a Selick dream of Lambo doors, I was no exception. Bolt hinges were successfully purchased from a teammate, for which many thanks to him and armed with free time, tools, my friends and a good mood, we set about installing them.

The photo report of another teammate was taken as an instruction, without his help it would have been much more difficult for us to cope with this.
It took half a day to install the hinges, I take into account that none of us had experience in such a matter, but we did not despair and did everything slowly, with smoke breaks :)

The doors are very heavy, I had to sweat;)

After the hinges were installed and adjusted, the doors opened and closed normally, we already started to assemble the car, we ran into the following problem: the wings did not converge with the doors in the gaps, in some places the gaps were generally huge. This was very upsetting and it was decided to abandon these loops. Although the hinges were a bolt, the hinge design itself was not thought out, of course I want a lambo door, but I think next time I will have to look for some other options so that the body converges normally :) It was decided to do everything as it was.
But I do not regret anything, because we got invaluable experience, and got food for thought, how we can do better :)

Yes, something like that, in theory, without modifications, such as removing the old hinges, installing new ones. But honestly, the quality is not ice :(

misfitboy 15.02.22

ah. well, that is, special for the Selick, everything is right?

D
Desperado44 15.02.22

The mechanism itself is a hinge bolt, it is for the Selick, there are all sorts of universal hinges

m
misfitboy 15.02.22

Where did you get the mechanism?

D
Desperado44 15.02.22

Yeah, there is such a thing, especially in the last photo. By the way, the first generations of the seliik had a dragon nameplate, :)

yes, with lambs all year round)) I can do an opening angle of up to 110 degrees)) I have a different type of hinges, I have a GTFactory, and you have an LSD))
so did you remove the hinges or what?

In my opinion, these are not LSD hinges, but VX Lambo Doors, I had such ones, I removed them, because the opening angle was only 70 degrees, inconvenient;(

D
Desperado44 15.02.22

Is it different, as I understand it, in the adjustable opening angle? Yes, I removed the hinges, I didn’t like them, it’s cool with such doors, but the quality of the hinges leaves much to be desired, I’ll think differently

Yes, the lambo looks great, do you drive with lambos right now? I see you have a large opening angle you can do ...

Student112 15.02.22

oh lambo twin to my golf))

D
Desperado44 15.02.22

Yeah, I saw it at Kostromaraising, you see, I need reinforced ammorts, because my doors weigh a lot :)

S
Student112 15.02.22


Yes, I have an adjustable opening angle )) if that I sell the same hinges as mine))))

D
Desperado44 15.02.22

Okay, we'll talk about it with you))

S
Student112 15.02.22

Well, you can weld it, but I did everything for myself in place of regular hinges (they are screwed into the place of regular ones), you can always return native hinges)) everything rises normally, I have sales and gaps, ideally, as with native hinges.

D
Desperado44 15.02.22

And your hinges are welded, I understand? Another question is, do the body elements then normally fall into place?

S
Student112 15.02.22

it's 90kg

D
Desperado44 15.02.22

my shocks were 900 lbs, this is me xs how many kg, but a lot) it was normal with them

S
Student112 15.02.22

so they cost only about 500 r apiece, the effort is 91kg each, I have two of these per door)) I also have a heavy door))

D
Desperado44 15.02.22

Hello, listen, my advice is, you leave this idea)))) There are too many crap. Hinges that are cheap, $500 or less, they all come out the same, you struggle to adjust them. So that they fit properly on the car. In order for everything to open normally, you will have to file the wings from the inside almost to a minimum, and still the opening angle will be small. Doors first open sideways, then up. So you can’t open them much to the side, the wing will be pulled out, and if you adjust it so that it doesn’t open too much to the side, then there will already be a small distance, in short it’s inconvenient. I can’t say anything about the loops for 2200. But it seems like I heard something if everything is fine with the geometry of the body, these hinges should stand up like native ones.

people helpp, I also want to lambo the doors to the selick to stir up the helpp. is it worth messing up, it's just that everyone says differently how to understand it from the quality of the hinges or from the quality of the installation. I was offered here for $ 2200, but this is too much price ...

D
Desperado44 15.02.22

understood) I don’t know, they did it for the first time and did it all with their own hands

The doors are almost exactly vertically relative to the body ...

D
Desperado44 15.02.22

I don't understand what you are talking about :)

N
Nikitosinka 15.02.22

Not bad reguliroval, almost no blockage!

well done))))

S
Student112 15.02.22

my hinges are excellent and the gaps are all even, it all depends on how to put it)

D
Desperado44 15.02.22

if the loops are inexpensive, then I think that nothing can be done)

s
somebody 15.02.22

I also bought myself lambo hinges. I'm going to install soon. What ammorty is better to buy? Will it be ok for 800lbs?

Do you think the gaps between the wings and the doors could not be adjusted?

s
somebody 15.02.22

Beautiful)

Well, at least I arranged a photo session)) and you don’t know at 9 it’s just as difficult to let down. ? And the services are very expensive ((

So what is this serious problem? The joints with the body are good, and the wings can be given to the masters, let them adjust, well, of course they will paint. It seems to me that this is worth the lambo hinges.
