Subject: RE: I've found yet another biased Delorean review..
Well, a fellow owner (thanks Pat!) passed this
(http://ask.yahoo.com/ask/20010927.html) along to me recently. It's from a
column called Ask Yahoo!, which apparently tackles random questions of all
sorts, and it's dated this past Thursday. In contrast to the "Illustrated
History..." book Jeff mentions, this one actually paints a more unbiased
picture. Perhaps the columnist at Ask Yahoo! actually did his homework. I
pass this along only because I was surprised that it wasn't completely
biased.

Last night i went out to the casino near my residence. Mohegan Sun,
Uncasville, CT. anyways, they recently added a whole new shopping
center to the place, including a nostalgia store ( No D rerlated
stuff ) and a Discovery Channel Store. While in the Discovery Channel
store i came across a book entitled "An Illustrated History of the
Automobile" by Graham Robson. The two pages of Delorean information
included in this book were terrible.

Subject: Re: a/c pulley bearings bad design
There are 2 reasons why you would blow out the bearings prematurely.
Don't use the ones made in China and don't overtighten the belt. It is
really easy to overtighten and not realize it. If it slips it is too
loose but don't tighten much more than that! For the technicaly
correct procedure refer to N:08:13 step 6. If you install a new belt
it should be a little tighter and rechecked in about a week as new
belts strech a lot when first installed. The bearings can be obtained
at any large power transmission parts supply. Bring the old ones and
match them up. They are about $2.00 apiece for someone off the street,
over the counter cash sales. In LARGE quantities they are probably
less than a buck each for the GOOD ones.

Subject: convex side mirrors!
I have been busy experimenting & practicing on various glass cutting &
beveling equipment and finally produced some high quality convex side
mirrors to fit the DeLorean. The bad news is that it takes me about an hour
to cut & bevel each mirror, but this should improve with practice. The good
news is that they look great! The product is a 'surface mirror' type of
glass which gives a much higher quality image than having the light pass
THROUGH the glass TWICE before you see the image. The edges of the mirrors
look very clean. They make a fine dark edge whereas the OEM glass tends to
have a bright perimeter where light is refracted through the edges.
Making these mirrors available to everyone who wants them is another
problem. First, it is a very time consuming job. There isn't enough demand
for them to pay some Taiwanese company with a robot whip them out. So I am
starting with a larger mirror and cutting it down the hard way. (In the
process I crop out that annoying "OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY
APPEAR" message.) Also I am having trouble finding very many larger mirrors
to start from. If anyone knows of a cheap source for large convex mirror
glass, let me know. The best source so far is NAPA, but they are expensive.
I found cheaper ones at Pep Boys, but the glass wasn't high enough quality
to suit my tastes.
For now I am plenty busy supplying friends who I have already made
arrangements with. In about a month I will probably start putting some up
on eBay. I would rather just wholesale them to the vendors, but it is
costing too much already to make these. I don't think the market would bare
having a vendor mark it up that much more. Maybe someday I will recover the
cost of the equipment. For now I have several hundred bucks invested, but I
have always wanted to be able to make stained glass windows with polished
beveled edges. :) Another nice thing about these mirrors is that I am
making them for the driver side as well as the passenger side. Everyone who
I talk to in Europe says that this is standard for all cars. But in the
U.S., we only get convex on the passenger side. But now I have changed
that! :)

Subject: Re: my attitude about DeLorean (long)
Where to begin. The old saying goes, "The truth is niether black or
white, but shades of gray." If I were to sum up the operations of the
man and the company, that is how I would put it. But still, we need
to find a place to begin... I'll be frank, JZD wasn't the picture
perfect exec, nor did he run his company idealy as he described how
things should have been run by GM in his book "On a Clear Day..." But
he sure as hell is in my opinion a more moral man than Iacoca, or Ed
Cole (Iacocca was on TV denoucing the classic Mustang. What are the
chances he would pull over to completment a Ford owner for having
such a nice car!) I'm not going to attack or justify anything, but I
will try to explain everything as best I can...
First, a little background info about Haddad is needed. JZD hired
Haddad because he claimed that he had close ties to the Kennedy
family (who is from Twinbrook), and this could benefit DMC/DMCL
because the company would be going in with political links/ties to
the area. And that could give the company some pull to get things
done. He conviced JZD he could help him/the company in the policital
realm of Northern Ireland, and was thus hired.
The "Gold Facets" memo that stated he wrote on Boxing Day (Dec. 26)
was completely false. Later durring another one of JZD's trials,
Haddad admitted on the stand under oath, that he did indeed forge the
memo. He also conviced JZD's secratary Marion Gibson that everything
in the memo was true. She ended up trying to alert the British Govt,
and I beleive that Scotland Yard found no problems at that time (it's
been a while since I've read Hard Driving, and I don't have a copy
handy. bear with me). After she found out that Haddad lied to her,
she was truly sorry for what she had done, and even appologized.
Haddad does provide us with some interesting inside with his book.
But, you must also take into consideration he is biased against JZD,
and the fact that he went so far as to forge a public record in the
process. Interesting insights, but we can't take everything he says
as being etched in stone.
DMC/DRLP had no other choice but to agressivly go after any and all
capitol they could. After all, they were starting up a new company.
Manical, no. Very creative in creating tax shelters and complex
investment plans to acquire money, yes!
As for the cars that were taken from the QAC in Jersey, I believe it
was Roy Nesseth thate was present to take control of the cars. C.R.
Brown was in California. But the loan was paid back. Of course it had
to be for DMC to sell/floor plan cars. While Haddad "claims" he has
no knowlege of what happened to the cars, they probably just went
back to the QAC to be shipped. Haddad has a writting style that
doesn't say things right out, but will plant a seed of doubt into
your thinking.
DMC had no reason to falsify anything to the EPA. The PRV6 motor had
already been tested for emissions, and was approved for use in the
US. It did need to go thru a 5K mile test for it's application in the
DMC-12 though. To pass emissions, the power of the engine was greatly
reduced. That is why we have only a 130bhp engine, and the
restrictive exhaust/emissions system on our cars.
JZD didn't pay as much attention to the car as was expected in as
engineering. He was indeed a bit more concerned about cosmetic
aspects of the car. Honestly, this makes total sense since he was
paying Lotus to complete the engineering work! And it is something
that I am very thankful for. The DMC-12 has a warm, quality,
handcrafted feel to it. The amount of pre-moulded plastic and vinyl
in most modern cars have all the craftsmanship of a $2.00 snap-tite
model.
Both suspension recalls that I am aware of were not due to lack of
concern over the car, but of GREAT concern. The front crumple tube
was thought to be to riged, and it was believed it wouldn't
crupmle/absorb engery properly in a front-end collision. They reduced
it, but then made it way to thin, and it could be damaged simply by
hitting a pothole. Thus the front-end recall was born. The training
arm bolts were recalled because the company who made them didn't make
them strong enough.
As far as Haddad's run-in's with Roy Nesseth, who knows. They sound
to me like two people who didn't get along to begin with. And Nesseth
always struck me as the type (from what I've read) who just had a
gruff demeanor about him. Not nessisarily a mean guy, just one who
seemed intimidating to most. Now that he has passed on, we'll never
get a chance to hear his side of the story...
Logan Mfg is an interesting topic, and one that has even less
answers. JZD took out a loan to buy Logan, but the angered the bank
when he paid it off too early (they lost $ by not getting any
interest payments). I was the person who originaly posted about
people seeing cars @ Logan Mfg. I have heard stories from various
people that go so far as stating that JZD had parts shipped to Logan,
UT to build cars there as well as N. Ireland. I even heard rumors
that JZD has a hidden cache of cars stashed away in an old warehouse,
but can't sell them because of his bankruptcy. This was a story told
to me by a stranger met @ Pep Boys. Honestly, I take it with a grain
of salt. I've never seen the guy since, but he knew some pretty
accurate info about JZD's trials and DMC's history. MUCH more than
the average joe off the street. But hey, who knows. If I belived
everything a stranger told me about my car, I'd have a helecoptor
engine made by Ford, and my car would be illegal to drive because
it's either too fast, or too shiny! :)
John Z. DeLorean had a dream, and he made it come true. Plus it was a
dream that was shared by others. If no one had believed in that
dream, then there would never have been a car. Besides, I don't have
the motivation to vaccum my house, but JZD was able to build a car.
Now that takes more than just motivation. It takes great courage!
Which leaves the final question: Why didn't DMC suceed?
As it's been discussed before, there is a long list of factors. JZD
didn't bring down DMC all by himself. But it is true that he had more
than enough help to colapse everything. "What if" will be the
question that many people will always ask. What if the British Govt
had given DMC export financing? What if JZD wasn't intimidated into
going into room 501? What if they bypassed GMAC and provided
customers with in-house financing? What if everyone lived happily
ever after and DMC was still around today?
Everytime you ask yourself one of these questions, don't forget to
ask yourself that one truely unspeakable question. The one that keeps
me up at night.
What if there never was a DeLorean?

Subject: 3 types of "pullstraps", and stuff for sale!
I recently purchased a second DeLorean, and it came with some extra
parts..
Along with the spare parts came a bunch of black pullstraps for early
cars with the metal "D" ring. After a car show on Sunday in
Englishtown, DanRC30 (and former DMC owner Doug, now Mr. Fiero) stopped
by my house for a ride in the new DMC. He asked about the pullstraps
because he needed some. After a quick ride in the new car where his
karma caused my heater core to pop :), he noticed that there were 2
different styles of pullstaps in the bag. Some had a highly polished
large "D" ring, where some of them had a dull smaller looking "D" ring.
There were also differences in the way the strap was sewn together.
Can anyone shed some light on this pulstrap mystery? Before this I
always thought there were just 2. (The early style that wraps around
the handle, and the later style that screw in to the door). The parts
manual only list one style for the pre-5992 cars.
In addition, I have some other parts I'd like to sell. Contact me if
your interested:
Passenger Door with glass
complete intake W/ air flow meter (no fuel distributor)
another air flow meter (no fuel distributor)
Factory set of stripes
Power Antenna (don't know if it works, or the mast is in there)
Tail Lights
Muffler
Crossover pipe W/ Cat
There may be some more, but I have not gone through all the boxes.

There is an excellent chance that the yellow DeLorean you mentioned is

If so, I took the picture on a digital camera the day the car was purchased.
I'd be happy to provide more information once we can establish the exact

Fellow DLMers:
I'm teaching a class in international management at a local university, John
Carroll University here in Cleveland. I wanted to bring my DeLorean to
class when I teach about international sourcing, using the DeLorean as an
example of a car with multiple international components, both in the car
components itself and in it's manufacture.
I know of course the major components: that the car was named after and has
as it seminal influence an American; that it was to be sold primarily in
America; that it was assembled in Northern Ireland; that the engine is
Sweedish; the drivetrain French, the stainless body stamped in Germany; the
design of the car is Italian...
... is there, however, a comprehensive list of all the major components and
their country of origin? If so, please e-mail me privately, unless you

I don't know the name of the owner but, there is a Yellow D in Chagrin

pursued him around several blocks, through parking lots & back streets
trying to get him to stop long enough to talk to him. I finally got him
to stop & told him that I was a DeLorean owner too. He didn't want to
shut the engine off since he had just changed the accumulator & was just
out for a test drive. Then he took off before I could get his name.
Yes, yellow looks sharp!

Walt and Group, Let me correct my self.
#1. The Black seal bearing made in China are your standard run of the
mill bearings. Who knows how long they will last.
#2. The EMQ Bearing ( Electrical Equiptment Quality ) This is the
best, Made in Tiwan soon to be made in China, Best metal, Best grease
and used in the alternators. You can normally tell them by the
Orange,Blue or brown seal. Normally the brown seal is the extra wide
bearing used in some limited applications. The color will vary by
supplier. These do cost a little more and might be harder to find,
but will last.
#3. An application of the black seal bearing is used as the pilot
bearing in the clutch. This would be an application of limited usage
compared to the treatment of the pulleys on the alternator or the
idler puleys.
I will get some of the bearings and put them on the site for you to
purchase or exchange.

Subject: Re: Whose Delorean is this??
The only yellow D I've ever seen (and it could only be described as Mack
truck yellow) was at the Consolidated International warehouse in Columbus
when I went to pick up my brand-new baby (1982 model) in late 1983. In the
warehouse and in an adjacent field were some 200-300 D's -- which I believe
constituted the entire inventory of Consolidated. Of the entire group, only
four were painted: one the yellow (NOT my favorite), two a nice cherry red,
and one gorgeous gloss black. I decided then that if I ever dinged my car
and needed to paint it, my choice would be black. I'm glad to say that 18
years later, I have not had to exercise that choice.
So ... I suggest that IF the one I saw in Columbus is the sole yellow D,
perhaps Consolidated or its successors could provide data on the purchaser.
There may have been other yellow ones, but not in the vast group of unsold
ones I saw that day in Ohio. In fact, I may be among the few current owners
to have ever seen that many D's together in one place. Quite a sight!

Hey, guys, here's a news flash - my kits have been purchased and installed
many times, and I've had them in my own cars for over 10 years. They work.
Kayo, I'd like to know just where you saw my product since I don't recall
selling one to you (but I might have since I've been quietly marketing them
for years). Robert - you have solenoids, which I don't recommend, and your
hot wires is one of the two reasons (the other being their weight).
Solenoids draw a huge amount of amps. The motorized actuators do not. They
will easily work on the existing wiring as they draw so little power. A 16
guage wire would be heavy enough.
No. my kit is not quite "plug and play". But I believe most of us like to
be able to work on our own cars, and it also helps to know how it works
should something fail. I have been reluctant to market these kits because
of the negative experiences some, like Robert, have had with makeshift
setups. But this is a simple, tested, reliable design. It adds very little
weight to the door, isn't that hard to install, and has proven very
reliable. I'd really appreciate it if people would limit their comments to
actual experience with my kits, not guessing about what they "may" be like.

Well, I found a/the difference. I bought a new still in the wraper
workshop manuel pn p3113096. It must be an early one because the
brown wire for the Ducellier is on it along with the brown/yellow
light wire. As you know when the Motorola alternator was added, the
solid brown wire was no longer used and only the brown/yellow for the
light wire was. The later is what I find on most diagrams.
Some other differences/mistakes you will also note:
#1.102 Accessory relay with white wires coming out of it is portrayed
twice. The other #102 relay is actually #103, the Main relay with the
white/blue wires coming out of it. It's also on M:18:02 correct.
#2. There is no relay on either diagram for the relay next to the
dropping resistor for the coil on the back fire of the engine
compartment. Some cars have it and others don't.It could be #104 that
was left off the diagrams and SWymbol key. It would fit if you look
at the placement of #105,106 and 107.
#3.The older diagram shows a U shaped indention on the wire in front
of the Air Condition low pressure switch. #91 (legend). Diagram
M:18:19 shows that to be a switch #7 and low pressure #8. So #7 has
to be the high pressure switch I read about in the work shop
manual.The switch is on my 11004 car and most likley ours also. If
the compressor reaches 265lb's to 300 lb's of pressure it may also
cut off. It's spoke of very little. Reference N:09:01 and N:09:04.
That's all for now
