AW: [DML] Adjustable Door Struts

["Elvis Nocita" <elvisnocita@xxxx>]

Nice idea, but what kind of reserve tank will keep more than 170 bar ?
And if you find one - how long will it last ? At least I wouldn't like to
drive around with a large bottle of CO2 on the passenger seat. Hey this
brings up another idea - why not use NOS for the struts and the motor ? ;-)

By the way, adjustable door struts are not only feasable, they are available
!

If "adjustable" door struts are truly feasable, then the real project here
would be to
have self-closing doors. The car would have a pressurized reserve tank (a
la the
Bricklin) and air valves. Open the valve on the strut, and the door lowers.
Then close
the value and repressurize the strut from the tank, making the door openable
again.

Combine this with the remote door openers and you've got a car that can flap
it's wings!
