[MODERATOR'S NOTE: I got quote a volume of messages regarding this topic
that were along similar lines (indicating positive DMC experiences).
Rather than perpetuate this discussion too far I'm dropping messages on
this thread that have no new substantial content.]

If you call a parts supplier and ask them to help you get a part
elsewhere... I think it's understandable to be unhelpful.  Of course if
they didn't have it in stock, that's a different story.

It's certainly not the sort of thing you usually see from DMC Houston.
But many parts stores have the DeLorean in their computers and/or catalogs
and you shouldn't need the Renault part number.

It's an R30.

The whole final drive assembly is different.  The ring gear is on the
other side, but the modifications are more extensive that that.  You might
be able to use a Renault transmission, by replacing it with a DeLorean
final drive.

Subject: RPM Chart

I can't remember where I saw it, but could someone send me the link 
to the graph that shows MPH relation to RPM?  I checked the back 
issues and the DMCNEWS homepage but couldn't find it.

Thanks

Subject: Re: Delorean Article


    I recently purchased the CQ magazine for the article.  It includes an 
interview with Delorean about his plans for new cars.  It is titled "Wings
of 
Desire" (Pg 320)and says Delorean is working with Burt Rutan (the man who 
designed the airplane that flew around the world nonstop).  The lower
priced 
car will weigh about 1,450 lbs and have a 250-275 hp engine that Delorean 
claims will be good for 3.2-3.5 seconds 0-60 times.  It is made for the
youth 
of America (drawing back to the muscle cars)
    The 2nd car is supposed to be very expense and have a 1,250hp engine 
(which Delorean laughs after saying) and will be entirely
handmade...possibly 
in Italy and it is about 85 % done.

The National Enquirer has an article on the DeLorean in the September 12, 
2000 edition.

If you print out the order form that was mentioned in the last mailing of
the 
DMC2 Watch Group, It has the address and phone number on it.  Here it is
as 
it appears on the order form:

DeLorean Time Inc.
62 Burd Street
Nyack, NY 10960
(845) 358-2700 Ext 12&16

<< << How would one go about putting the $3000.00 down for the DMC-2 
watch/car?
  I noticed that the DMC-2 watch site just says "under construction, will
soon
  have an interview with John Delorean". Is there an address or phone # to
  contact
  someone at? >>
 
 You could e-mail his daughter, Kathryn DeLorean.  She had the flyers at 
 Cincinnatti, and can no doubt give you an address. (I have a flyer at
home 
 with an address, but not here with me.)  You can e-mail me for her e-mail

 address.  She mentioned it publically at Cincinnatti, but I don't want to
be 
 presumptuous and post it online.

Subject: Re: Coasting and pulsating

I can think of two reasons for the pulsating, a pulsating fuel 
pressure (which you can check with a fuel pressure gauge) or a
problem 
in the secondary ignition circuit such as a bad ignition wire, fouled 
spark plug, arcing dist cap. It could also be an unbalance in the
fuel 
distibuter. Thinking more about it I would probably suspect a fuel 
injector that is out of spec. Every time it's turn comes around it 
puts out the wrong amount of fuel. Knowing how touchy the fuel system 
is to dirt that would probably be my first choice. A quick test of
the 
ignition system, run the car at night in a dark spot with the engine 
cover open, put your hands in your pockets and while someone can rev 
the engine observe the ignition system for blue glows or sparks.
You cannot check the spark plug boots this way because of the deep 
wells. If the wires are origional just replace them. The injectors
can 
be tested and posssibly cleaned by someone with access to an injector 
tester, you don't always have to replace them.
