sooo... you can have pseudo-gullwing doors on your whip and only roll half the window down at the drivethru and have to finagle your Happy Meal thru the correctional-facility-sized slot provided... from hence forth, it will be known as the Goober Viewing Hole.
last time i checked, a year wasnt a "Long time ago"... more like... Last year?
Incase you didnt know this, Lots of weight=Slow... MK3=lots of weight... MK3+Pseudo-gullwing doors= Super Mega Mad lots of weight. which will then correlate into an equally slow vehicle. a BONE stock JZA70 with driver, full tank'o gas and a tool box (no spare) weighs in at around 3800 LBS... add your bumpin stereo, madd Tizyte "gull wing" doors, Lead-filled/bargain priced ADR wheels and you have a MK3 that easily weighs as much as a B-body GM (or Buick Roadmaster/Caprice/Impala,etc)... i feel bad for any pavement that MK3 would pass over.

just go to yahoo an look up "Toyota Sera" theres a huge UK owners club that shows up..
The funny thing is there are barely any pics WITHOUT the doors open, and the interior isnt that nice, the doors are practically ALL the appeal of the car.. 115hp TOP OF THE LINE MODEL is definately not.

You are almost as misinformed as I am! I love the Mk3, but I also love weight mods. Lets see...Real working gullwing doors...not much weight past connecting the door to the roof, which will originally be a N/A hardtop, some permanent plexiglass type window replacement...1JZ which weighs about the same, maybe 100lbs less than the 7M IIRC...subtract tool box, I'll just throw a few in the glove box, carry a cell phone, and get the tire flat stuff. SubTRACT the "bumpin radio" that comes stock (because I am the only teenager that doesnt like music), subTRACT 24 lbs of unsprung weight compared to stock sawblades from the lightest wheels I could find, and I have an Mk3 that weighs at least as much as a 86.5-88, hopefully less. Not to mention, relocated much lighter battery, and anything else I can find to get rid of/move to where the rear "seats" were.
Oh, this is all in theory too, I'm not saying I'm doing this within a year, just looking over a period of 8 or so. I know someone nearby with a 95 5spd Supra that will sell me his, so I'm focusing on getting that after I settle into my JZA70
