have yous left your runniners in so they drop when you open the door?

 

where did you get your windows from mate plastics 4 performance?

 

These are something I've been thinking about for the last few months.
What are they like to live with ?
Draft noise etc.

 

Get your car running before you worry about extreme weight loss

 

????

 

Mine are screwed into the door frames. Fronts have brackets mounted outside to prevent the wind from catching them (hold them closed tight) and the rears have x 2 U shaped mounts rivetted into the window with velcro fastened around the cage to do the same.

 

I know phil and I doubt the car will ever see the road so when/if its running then worry about what windows to put in.

 

Ah see ! thought you were directing your comments to me .

In the same boat really need to get the car running before anymore money is spent on it then consider windows!

 

you dont know me then. the shells nearly done

 

thank you matt

 

if windows screwed take it u cant open these doors??

 

How do the brackets work on the fronts..?
Any pics please chap.

 

i had them on my vts track car. there great weight saving but they scratch sooo easily. id never use it on a road car wudnt last a month i dont think. massive savings to be had on a track car though.

 

You can get anti scratch ones I believe.

 

i had the lexan ones. the best stuff. they look great for a while but unless its covered up on a trailer, towed to the track, used and covered up again they WILL scratch. mine looked awful as i used it on the road for 2 months in the rain and salted roads.

 

I think I'd be ok, car is kept in a heated garage and only ever comes out on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
I'm more concerned with draft and wind noise, interested in seeing these brackets.

 

I'm interested in brackets also.

Don't know if I should diy the windows or not. 400+ for a couple of bits of plastic is a bit steep, even though the hassle factor may make it worth it.

 

Seems plastic 4 performance are the only sellers of lean windows can't seem to find anyone else that's sells them !

 

Think the clinic sell them

 

ebay also selling them

 

Link....

 

A nearly completed shell is miles away from a completed car. You gonna come racing against my car this year

 

show me ?

 

The only Perspex window I can find on eBay is for a newage and is rear window only.

 

why buy off ebay or pay the ridiculous prices some companys are charging why not just find ure nearest plastic lexan supplier and cut ure own im also intersted to find out how front windows are fixed whether u kin still open the door when windows fixed????? it be easy enough to make sum brackets to hold windows passenger door who cares who wants passengers thats more weight lol drivers door how kin u fix window while still in the car

 

If you bought a flat peice of lexan dosnt matter how good you cut they wont fit properly as the curve on the supplied one's from p4p is an exact fit .

I also saw the newage rear on fleabay only one i could find Matty!

 

i agree with front windows that is rear windscreen and side type r windows wouldnt be problem

 

They need to be heat formed, you cant simply cut out an Impreza window and expect it to work.

OP: fix them up, polycarbonate (tradename Lexan) windows arent durable enough to withstand sliding up and down. Even ridiculously expensive Margard polycarbonate wont hold up for long.

Acrylic (tradename Perspex) is far more durable, but its not as strong as polycarbonate although its many, many times stronger than glass.

PC covered in film will fare better, but youll still want to change it before the year is out.

 

but if ure still having to make brackets to keep front windows tight to stop wind catching at speed and noise whats the point in paying the mega price for the windows that have the curve so match the standard windows dont see the problem with making ure own if still having to fix them this way ill soon find out what there like as ive made my own and have fixed 2 brackets onto the windows and 2 brackets on inside of the car and used wee clutch springs to clip on to window and bracket

 

Any pics mate please
