chuck 0 Posted November 11, 2003 Will, I have done it, I don't know anybody else on here that has. I think its a terrific mod. No more broken handles, no more pry in damage (worst you'll get is a broken window, before the alarm scares off 90% of the thugs trying to get in or nick it, not to mention the time wasting with "where the f@ck is the handle"). It can get annoying at times tho, as you need two hands to open the door. I have also been told that Corrado doors are heavy with tight/sticky door seals that can prevent the door poppong open as it would on othere cars where you might more commonly see shaved doors. To be honest I haven't noticed this yet, tho I do live in Ireland, and it really doesn't get as hot here as somewhere, say, like Texas. I suppose you could lube up the seals with a graphite spray to stop 'em sticking. Just a point tho to bear in mind before you start. As for the details, check out my info in this thread. http://corrado.atx-hosting.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=825 and also my thread in the gallery http://corrado.atx-hosting.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=1135 I'm also working on tidying up the wiring a bit, so have drawn out circuit diagrams which aren't posted here yet as its still a work in progress. Tho the way it is now has worked without hiccup for the past year. Feel free to PM me for more info. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
