Subject: Re: Warning: Paradise Motorsport!
To Andrew and the DML,
I feel the need to respond to Andrew's post that discusses Paradise Motor
Sport in Lombard, IL. I was quite shocked to hear about his experience
there, and I felt he may not have depicted the true picture of Lance and his
store. While I do not know the particulars about your specific experience
Andrew, I have dealt with Paradise on many occasions with great success.
Lance and his shop have worked on DeLoreans since the cars creation, and
they have done wonderful things on my car over the last four years. I know
of others who have used their services, both DeLorean owners and other
classic car owners that have had great results as well.
The work he has done on my car has ranged from replacing my clutch to the
most minor of cosmetic improvements. Each time he has done excellent work,
which can be viewed on my web-site, that shows undercarriage shots of what
this guy is capable of making a car look like. I would say that my only
complaint of his shop's services is that they are perfectionists (Look at my
engine pictures to see what I mean). He takes a lot of time to work on cars
because he is not a regular street corner mechanic. He deals with
restoration vehicles, which usually require a long amount of time to
fix/perfect.
I was sorry to hear about your bad experience with Paradise Andrew, but I
felt it only fair to give another view on this shop's work.
Regards,
Tamir

That's what I meant... I want to replace with 15" and 16" instead of
the standard 14" and 15". 16" and 17" might be an otion but I wonder
if there would be room for that and if that looks nice at all.
So far there is pretty little info on this subject. Probably because
not many people have their rims replaced. The only thing so far was
pointed out to me by a local owner:
http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Street/3391/
However I'd love to know the offset values so that I can shop here
which would be more cost effective. Perhaps I'll give mr. Kay a call
to see what he is willing to share on this info.

I've seen custom checks before where people can send in pictures, and
the printing company can put them onto the checks. I saw one one time
when a guy in front of me wrote a check out that had a picture of his
BMW on it. The guy said he got the checks from a place called Kansas
Bank Note Company. There on the web, and have complete details on
their site for pricing.

Good article. Just one question though (and I'm sure others will have the
same question). The article states this gentleman's Delorean is "a
supercharged, stainless-steel, gull-wing sports car." Obviously I'm
questioning the supercharged bit. I'm assuming this is just an error on the
journalist's part, but if not, does anyone have any info on this particular
vehicle?

Any shop is only as good as it's worst mechanic on a bad day. You can
have bad experiences anywhere. It is like restaurants, one time the
service is good and the food is great and you go back with friends and
you can't believe it's the same place! The true sign of a good place
is how they deal with problems. In your case it seems they didn't
handle it too well. I can only guess that the person who was
knowledgeable on Deloreans just wasn't around to work on your car.
This is no excuse for what happened to you just maybe a possible
explanation. The work you required on your A/C could have been
accomplished by any good automotive A/C shop (There is nothing unusual
about the A/C in the Delorean).

[snip]
Your ducts are probably not properly connected to the back of your center
vents.
The vents are fed by soft rubber ducts behind the dashboard. Sometimes,
especially when someone has worked inside the dash, the ducts slip off.
Because they are soft rubber they just sort of wilt and no air gets to the
vents. You can tell when this happens because your air conditioner will be
blowing some cold air through your cassette deck.
The vent grilles snap out. Will great patience (and long tools like screw
drivers) you can usually slip the rubber ducts back in place through the open
vents without disassembling the dashboard. I fixed mine several years ago
and the problem has not recurred.

Subject: R-12 recharge
Hello,
A friend of myne was kind enough to let me use his 30lb tank of R-12. My
car sat untouched for 15 years so I am guessing the freon leaked out over
that time. The low pressure switch is tripped so I know there must be very
little freon in the system. I am bringing my car in on Friday morning to
have it evacuated and recharged. Are there any parts I should have replaced
at this time? or just see if it will hold a charge? Please let me know ASAP
so I can next day air them if I need them.
Thanks

Subject: Re: Locks (was New Owner)
This would be (in order of likelihood) a burned-out unlock solenoid
on the passenger door, a bad relay in the lock control box (what
happens when you try it from the passenger side??) a broken wire in
the wiring loom between the body and the door, or a bad lock switch
on the driver door.
Probably "Zilla-time", unless you are really handy rewinding
solenoids and/or fixing small under-rated electronic circuits.

Mike,
I had similar problems and did a major tuneup (can get a kit from DMC Houston, DMC Joe, PJ Grady, etc..). This solved most of my problems in one shot and was well worth the time/money.
Of course the symptoms you speek of could be caused by several other items not the least of which could be bad fuel.
Good luck,

Subject: Re: Warning: Paradise Motorsport!
Sorry to hear of your bad experience.. this is EXACTLY
why I don't let anyone work on mine... only people I
would trust would be DMC Houston, DMCJoe, or PJ Grady,
unfortunately, none of them are close enough to me to
do that...
I've made an offer to DMCJoe to pay for his flight and
his time to come down and put a radiator on for me,
and install the fuel kit (dont need it yet, but while
he's here I figured I would have him fix it before it
breaks)... hopefully he will accept, but I know he is
busy.
I am no mechanic, but atleast I know I love my car, so
before I will take it anywhere, I will try to take a
crack at the fix myself.. so far, I've done several
things by myself, replaced the headlight switch,
replaced the brake pedal brake light switch, replaced
the alternator, put on DMCJoe's overheat protector,
and installed a Tankzilla.
I can only wish that everything was as simple as the
tankzilla.. the brake light switch took me almost 2
hours because I couldnt get the damn bolt off... I am
so mechanically "uninclined" it isnt funny... the
overheat protector and the tankzilla though, pieces of
cake.
I have a shop manual, and I think I could probably do
the radiator if I had to, but I wont even try the fuel
pump, I know my limits :)
I thought about taking it to other places, and
fortunately, most of them around here will admit they
don't know jack about a Delorean, but they said they
are willing to learn, and between the shop manual and
the excellent tech support for the D, they could
probably do it... but at the same time, they lack the
care I have for my car....
the one time I trusted it to someone else, I took the
day off from work to make sure it was taken care of
(this was when I had the Duce rebuilt)...
I didnt want some guy wearing 6 quarts of oil on his
pants to sit in my seats, and I didnt want my car to
become a shelf for tools... yeah it pissed them off,
but, I'm sorry, this car is too irreplacable for me to
leave it somewhere other than a place I know I can
trust.
I hope you do sue this Lance guy.... and I hope you
win. Just get a signed statement from whoever you
bought the car from stating that whatever you had
worked when you got it.... your word against his in
court doesn't carry weight, but if you have a document
from the place you bought it from, that carries
clout...I won an insurance case that way, and we all
know what worms insurance companies are.
also - if you paid with a credit card, CHARGE IT
BACK... I never pay for anything with cash anymore,
because there are too many crooks out there... a bank
will side with you 99% of the time.
I would also prepare an invoice for your time that you
spent fixing the parts he broke (high beams, blinkers,
etc.)
And if all that fails, you'd be surprised what pulling
your Delorean out in front of his shop will do....
people will be attracted, (his customers), tell them
what he did to it, they will leave without hesitation.
TV stations also love a good juicy story (they usually
have investigative reporters that eat this stuff
up)... call them too.
You're a better man than me though, had I walked in
and seen my car disassembled, then got it home and
found it was messed up, there would have been an ass
whoopin' going on.

I located the cheepest ones I could find from Electric City out of Syracuse,

They were here in 2 days.
I tried to order them from the closest DeLorean Parts place but they didn't

Replace the two shraeder (sp) valves. That is where mine accumulated a

I started monitoring an admin list at yahooGroups - this was posted
today (for all you AOL-ers that wonder where we were). This may
explain the problem with some of the others as well, although they
may or may not be fixed yet.
Dave Swingle
================================================================
As many of you know, recently AOL email users have been having trouble
receiving email from Yahoo! Groups. The problem should now be fixed.
What happened:
We recently changed the IP addresses on a number or our servers. AOL
didn't recognize the new numbers and because of the volume of
incoming email, they thought we might be spamming them, so they
blocked the email coming from us. They updated their list of accepted
IPs last night at 6:30 PM PST, so all should be fine.

Subject: Door Struts for sale
I have a set of Lift-O-Mat door struts I'm selling. They work perfectly.
They are only about 2 years old. I'll take the highest fair offer. If offers
are not good enough, they go on Ebay. :)

Subject: Modesto/Stockton area owners?
I have asked this before on the list but with the kind permission of
a moderator I would like to find out again just to check: Are there
any Northern California DeLorean owners out there in the Modesto/
Stockton area? (Yes, I live in Modesto, and no, I did not vote for
Gary Condit.) :)
Please e-mail if you are out there and would like to get together
to start a mini club or something,
Richard
Modesto, CA

Subject: Wiring for alarm/ignition/indicators
I'm installing an alarm in my DeLorean.
I need to splice a few wires to make it work. These are:
1) ignition
2) indicator lights
Which is the easiest way to do this?
Where is it wise to splice the ignition wire? ( I do want the car to start after I've messed with the ignition wire ;-) )
I guess the wires for the indicator lights could be spliced with the wires going from the dim/wiper switch.
What color are these wires (the LH and RH indicators) ?
I have installed the alarm's electronic unit next to the ECU, and the alarm itself in the engine bay. I have drawn the needed wires through the center console, and they are ready to for access right under the steering wheel/ignition.
Is splicing recommended or will sugar cube connectors work better?
Best wishes :)

Subject: Loose steering?
Hi,
I think my DeLorean has developed a loose steering...
I will try to describe it...
When I drive the car, it feels firm and strong, but at no/low speeds, for instance reversing and/or making a turn down a small hill, the steering feels loose, i.e. the steering wheel let go completely to either the left or right side. It moves as far as it can go to either side.
If I'm reversing and for instance hits a bump in the road on the right side, the steering wheel moves to the left and vice versa. If I drive down a small hill and make a turn to the left, the steering will "let go" to the far left too.
What causes this...its rather annoying at low speeds...it feels sluggish...but a high speeds it handles perfectly.
I have replaced the steering wheel's u-joint + lower balljoints, but the problem is still there. Any suggestions?
What do I need to replace/adjust?
Best wishes :)

Hello,
Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Customer Care.
As you have noticed, Yahoo! Groups messages are being

We have found that AOL receives email from Yahoo! Groups,
however it
seems to have a tendency to "lose" those messages before
they are
delivered to their intended recipients. It appears that a
majority of
messages were not delivered to AOL members over the last 3
days. AOL
does not return a bounced (error) message to Yahoo! Groups,
so we have
no way of knowing which members or messages are effected. We
recommend
that you contact AOL for further answers or assistance in
this matter.

Subject: Re: Air Vent Question
Also, and this really basic and you probably already checked but it's worth
mentioning, the vents have a thumbwheel on the side that close them off.
I leave my door vents pretty much closed off since they can't hit me in the
face or chest.

Your delorean looks nice, but no offense, anyone can
steam clean an engine and wash an oil pan up.... your
car is in excellent shape, don't get me wrong, but
I've met some great auto-detailers that are dumber
than rocks....
Andrew had real work to be done on his car, not just
cosmetics, and it seems as though they hosed it up
quite nicely.
