Although I have seen some success, I don't recommend this procedure unless you don't mind removing and replacing the regulator several times. Although the heavy duty replacements may seem pricey, they not only perform better than the originals they also have an extremely low failure rate.

Please do not consider this an invitation to ask for pristine DeLoreans at bargain basement prices, a fruitless request that annoys most subscribers.] I'm looking for a DeLorean to restore. Low budget; lotsa time. Doesn't matter what condition as long as the body's not badly damaged.

Just been informed that the segment on the Delorean will be shown Saturday November 11th @ 2:00 AM and again on Sunday November 12th @ 1:00 PM. To all the list and Delorean owners everywhere, I sincerely hope I did not embarrass the car nor all Delorean owners. You will be seeing it, as I shall, for the first time and memory of what I said and did is a little foggy until my mind is refreshed. The Production crew seemed impressed and very elicited about the car and I hope the 20th anniversary of the car will reflect what all of us Delorean owners know... that it is a wonderful car that performs as it was meant to do .....still doing well all this time (20 years and still going strong).

The purchased car was vin #5957. If anyone knows of this car's owner please let me know. It would be nice to reunite this piece with the original car. By the way, the cash price on April 26, 1982 was $24,772. Thanks, Fil. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 10 Date: Tue, 07 Nov 2000 04:18:30 -0000 From: "World Traveller" <eurojet@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: James Espey A few weeks ago my sister was able to make a side trip on her visit to Houston to the DeLorean Motor Company. She was able to meet James who recommended a great T-shirt and small resin DeLorean model for me. She was quite impressed with the Houston operation and James himself. I just wanted to thank him for his hospitality during my sister's visit to his business! Without this list and people like James I would never have taken the chance on buying my D over two years ago. It's been a great ride!

The pricing starts at $189.99 for the full wheel (Center cap not included) and $129.99 for the just the grip only. These prices are subject to lower if I can organize persons wanting to restore their steering wheels. So if you are interested in having your steering wheel restored please send me an email at doctor280@xxxxxxx (Please don't sent replies to the DML) MODERATOR NOTE - his email is doctor280(at)msn.com Robert Starling Vin#05252 doctor280@xxxxxxx ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 12 Date: Tue, 07 Nov 2000 10:05:49 -0500 From: Mike Substelny <msubstel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Delorean First time on TNN's "Car and Driver" Rodger Vannatter wrote: > Last month I was fortunate enough to use my Delorean with the crew of the > RTM Productions for a shoot for "Car and Driver" for TNN. > Just been informed that the segment on the Delorean will be shown Saturday > November 11th @ 2:00 AM and again on Sunday November 12th @ 1:00 PM. So the show will be televised this weekend, *during* the DOA Expo in Vegas? That is an amazing coincidence. As I recall, in the same week as last year's DOA Expo in Saint Louis, "The Car is the Star" premiered its edition featuring the DeLorean. I hope everyone who is going to Vegas has a great time. Patti and I were supposed to be boarding an airplane this afternoon, but sadly no one was willing to teach my classes for me this weekend. I have heard a lot of great things about Las Vegas. Please post to the DML about how much fun you have. - Mike Substelny ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 13 Date: Tue, 7 Nov 2000 08:25:40 -0800 (PST) From: "Nathan E. Green" <gzen21@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Mystery Noise... Hi folks, It is usual for some sounds to emerge from #10188--heck all these cars are 18-19yrs old! My car is a daily driver with higher mileage(probably 100k+). But I heard a noise last night I had never heard. I sounded like a thud from the left front. I was turning into a parking lot at about 10mph, with the wheels about 3/4 of the way. I did some experiments: only happen when I turn left, faster or slower--no noise, steering seems to behave normally. I am planning on looking at the steering box and under the front end.(It was dark when this happened last night).Sound is definently coming from left front part of car. Steering box maybe? Maybe left wheel assembly? I know I need new front shocks, but it seems to happen only at this speed. Steering box seemed tight last time I looked(~2k miles ago). Can anyone help? Can any one steer(pun) me in the right direction? THanks. Nathan E.
