Gary, You said: "In other words, band-aids are unacceptable. I'm amazed at what D owners live with, I've no interest in owning a maintenance pig that needs frequent attention." I have probably done more research on the DeLorean electrical system than anyone. My R&D Delorean has a completely modified wiring and circuit layout from the factory original. Yes; I agree that the original electrical system has many design and component flaws. Over the years all of the established DeLorean vendors have designed and or sold products that will compensate for the original factory problems. Modifying the circuit design including wiring changes to the original set up is just not practical for the average owner. Most DeLorean owners have problems finding a place that will change their oil much less finding a reliable service facility that can modify their electrical system. The facts are that most owners who have installed the upgrades that are available from us and the other vendors are able to completely eliminate the original problems with a modest investment and the convenience of do-it-yourself installation. Products like the FanZilla, Tankzilla, Overheat Protector, and others are not band-aid fixes. They are easy to install, require no maintenance, and do exactly what they were designed to do. My colleges and I, in our continuing efforts to improve the DeLorean mechanical and electrical systems, appreciate your knowledge and input in finding ways to improve the reliability and serviceability of the DeLorean automobile.
