Group,
Well, I am finally back on the list and about to purchase another
DeLorean, having sold my first one a few years ago. Here are some questions
for you veteran DeLorean owners. Please don't hate me for asking these
questions!!! I know many of you are purists!
I want to customize my next DeLorean:
1. Updating engine - DMC Houston can take care of that...but any other
ideas?
2. Suspension - lowering the car is nice...any recommendations on shock and
struts (or any other improved suspension components???
3. Brakes - any ideas here??? Larger cross-drilled rotors? Any sizes or
brands?
4. Electrical updates - aside from the Zillas, any ideas for improving the
Lucas design?
5. Exhaust - IMPORTANT!!! Any idea of a borla or performace set up???
6. Air Intake - any K&N filters or cool-flo intakes???
7. Wheels - I want larger wheels and tires (especially in the front) 17inch
wheels??? and wider tires. Has anyone tackled this one??? I want greater
roadability and looks!!!
8. The question you will all hate - is there a method for painting a
DeLorean??? Doesn't it involve acid etching or prep??? if anyone has done
this let me know.
9. Cooling system - any low temp switches or thermostats available??? HD
radiators??? KEEP THAT ENGINE COOL!!!
I am very interested in sharing info on any ideas for making the DeLorean
"better". Obviously, it is already a great car...I just want to update it
more and make it more like the sports car it wants to be!!! Let me know if
any of you have ideas and / or are interested in discussing ideas!!! Thanks
a lot and it is good to be back!!!
Best Wishes,
Sean Spurlock
