Has anyone had experience with the Bee-R carbon door cards?

Pricey but they look good quality. I am a little concerned they won't sit as flat as a simple aluminium skin, and might somewhat dictate side intrusion options for my cage builder. They look to have a similar shape to the factory 32 skin just without the armrest, pocket and speaker.

Yeah tell me about it - any local alternatives that you know of? I am sure I could sink the $1200 odd bucks somewhere else a little more useful.

Saw your beast out at racepace the other week - one of it not best looking GTSt around :)

Do you guys have cages? I do in mine and door trims just don't fit any more. I padded the intrusion bar and glued a soft backed carpet to the door.

A week or two off putting a full cage in. Stock trims definitely won't fit with side intrusion once its in!

I was looking at getting them when my car was in the panel shop, the price is each, so very expensive! :) IF someone can get a pair at that price then they are a little more attractive

thats not very expensive mate.

mine are worth over 2 grand

sunline racing japan mate.

there getting fitted shortly as soon as my carbon doors arrive :D

still have a nice streetable look to them as well, unlike the bee r ones

They do look nice - they are definitely aimed at street cars though - far more intricate than the Bee-R ones which are aimed at caged cars.

The bottom of the sunline ones will interfere with cage side intrustion. My car is going dedicated tarmac rally and won't see the road so I want something basic and flat that won't interfere - Bee-R are the closest I have found in carbon short of just screwing a carbon or aluminium skin on to the door. $1.2k probably better spent on important things like tyres - saying that I will prob still get the Bee-R ones :)

Can't see the point of carbon door cards, may as well buy carbon doors and put in a thin aluminium skin or carbon fibre sheet.

Only thing is racing regs - tarmac rally panel modifications generally not allowed so have to run the standard doors. Carbon fibre sheet might be the go though.

Cool if you have 2k to spend on door cards, but in my books there is no way i can justify that amount of money to run door cards. Hell get some thin alcantara ro look alike material and just glue it to a raw door inner. Hell, way cheaper and lighter and more clearance....also give you the raw race car rattles :D

Cheers, its because I have not been around to bash it off tyres or set it on fire at the track the past two years :)

i have carbon doors on the way with a couple other body parts

my car is caged and they fit with my stock door cards so i dont see why these wont fit with it.

thats fair enuff i guess, but each to there own i like carbon lol

Thats all ive managed to do so far. Dont really know how far to cut. :whistling:

You can go a lot further than that around the edges. even to the point of putting the door handle on the skin and cutting the steel away.

Also swiss cheese the end on the latch side.

It is a dedicated track car isnt it ??

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
