Can anyone tell me the source(s) for steel braided brake lines? Thanks! ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 2 Date: Mon, 08 May 2000 03:09:56 -0000 From: "World Traveller" <eurojet@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: DeLorean in Auto Week mentioned This was in the latest issue of auto week and wanted to share it with the list: MISPLACED EVIDENCE National Public Radio reported that a teenage driver was arrested after a traffic stop when police found $1.3 million worth of cocaine hidden in a secret compartment in his car. Turns out the drug was already there when his parents paid $4,000 for the car (not a DeLorean, but Infiniti) at an auction conducted by the Chicago Police Department. AutoWeek May 8, 2000 I prefer to keep a few miniature bottles of tequila in my secret compartment! ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 3 Date: Sun, 7 May 2000 23:29:33 -0500 From: "BRUCE BENSON" <delornut@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Re: Historic Blunders In the mid 1980's Ford spent about $200 million for a state of the art paint facility used in manufacturing Ranger pick- up trucks ; this in the plant where I currently work. Using this example, and taking into account that 1981 was horrendous regarding the U.S.economy and auto sales, I think the British government was very naive regarding the cost they expected to incur starting an auto manufacturing operation from scratch. Even though John DeLorean may have also been naive in his estimations of potential sales of his sportswear, especially regarding the economy and the uniqueness of his car, I still feel John and company did a remarkable job getting to where they got for the amount of $'s that were spent.

In the Long Run, you will save lots of time, build a relationship, and learn that if you save a nickel here or there, you probably have to spend twice as much again later. Be careful of the cross over lists and non original parts. Excluding advances in engineering and tested parts FROM the DeLorean SUPPLIERS. Would you buy a brake set from NAPA for your Ferrari? I would hope not.

Borla has a nice deep sound, its stainless steel, looks good and improves performance, and although i do like the flowmaster 40's aggressive sound, its more suited for a camaro ( my friend hasa camaro w/ racing engine & flowmaster 40 muffler sounds good but, its more muscle, less redneck than i want to be hehe) I was wondering: What parts will affect how the borla exaust fits? I mean, will any system fit? and where should i take it to get the system, i dont think that your local car parts sstore will carry borla systems, should i go to the delorean motor center? do they have them there? help dmc joe! hehe greg ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________
