Doors flying off at WCF over the weekend has been a topic of much discussion lately. Additionally, we have seen that the topic of our Quick Release Door Hinges has come up on occasion. We want to be very clear that numerous vehicles, including Speed Factory Tuning & Fabrication's 200+ MPH Outlaw Civic, operate without incident on race days with our door hinges. It is very crucial to keep in mind that the car doors must be adjusted so that they fit exactly and snugly within the chassis' door frame. The door can start to pull away from the frame if this is not done, leaving spaces where air can enter. Because Lexan windows and window latches (to hold in the top of the door) are prohibited in several classes, proper fitment is even more important.
Types of Hinges
