I found some neat looking dashboards at Dakota Digital(www.dakotadigita l.com) They are made of brushed aluminum, and I think that they would really look nice on the Delorean. At the site, click 'ENTER', then on the 2nd drop-down menu that says 'INSTRUMENTATION" click 'go' and it will show a picture of a dashboard. Just browse through the menu and look at the different styles. I don't know if any fit the D, though they offer to let you design your own... -Dave 12's ------------------------------ message 1979 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/dmcnews/?start=1979 X-Mailing-List: dmcnews@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/dmcnews/ Date: Tue, 03 Aug 1999 12:10:12 -0400 From: Mike Substelny MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: [DML] Death of the Price Thread Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit THERE IS NO $1700 DELOREAN! PLEASE STOP REPLYING TO THIS THREAD! Now that Thom has posted the correct price I hope that all posters realize why I rejected their messages. The typo of a $1700 DeLorean brought such a huge flood of messages that I could not possibly read them all. Lesson learned: if anyone ever DOES offer a DeLorean for such a cheap price, you must literally be on their doorstep with cash in hand within an hour or you will have no hope of getting that deal for yourself.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Why do all of that work for just 200HP? That seems silly. I would say that if you are going to do a engine transplant, you would want more of a improvement. Especially if the 307 is a 8 cylinder (I assume it is). Heck, you could get one of those new 222 HP Nissan motors, and that is 6 cylinder! Better yet, the Buick 3.8 Grand National motor is over 300HP from 6 cylinders! You may want to consider some less expensive modifications to increase HP, like the "euro" setup that has been discussed here, and can be found on the DOC website.. Or, a turbo setup. raynet@home.net wrote: > > Has anybody sucessfully put an Oldsmobile 307 engine into a D.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi to All, Nope I did not vanish never to be seen again except on milk cartons. You may have noticed I have not posted at all in the last 3 weeks and not responded to any private e-mails. There are two reasons, first Ken Montgomery and I were working at getting a new Intel system up and running. It is in a network of machines one of which is my e-mail system that needs to network to function right. The other reason is I am in the midst of attempting to both launch a Japanese distribution of software my company developed and oddly enough working to sell my interest in the company and retire. I am basically doing 20+ hour days right now. I mention all this on the list so that the many of you who have asked for the Delorean keys I make will know that I still make them and will reply as well as I can to private e-mail. I will get to you in time. I should also mention that the keys I make are now really very good now that I have a high pressure casting machine. The deliveries to the various DNC companies are all out my door so if you have ordered a key that way it should be there now. I am working now on the lost, delayed or missing keys now and will as I get them done contact the person before shipping. The other important note is about the Limited editions. First I have not worked on the edition at all for the past 3 weeks. I will be re contacting the current SAC list to provide a delivery date. AS every one knows by now the production of the Limited edition kits is taking far longer than I had ever guessed. However The kits are getting done and shipped. So far every kit owners has told me that the kits are great and more than they had hoped fore. "Good I say" There are still a few unsold kits remaining, and if any one wants a kit please use direct e-mail to inquire. There will be at least a 4 month wait. I want to just assure every one that has purchased a kit, you will get your kit, I am not taking any short cuts to get the kits out faster, every single part must be right, the Kits will be every thing promised and more. Ken M is helping me to re-organize and speed up the Limited edition Internet site, which will have some new pictures and information in the near future. I will announce that when the site is changed over. If you have questions or have changed your Internet e-mail address please feel free to contact me, I try to find enough time to answer every e-mail.

Hello,
 
I have also looked at Dakotadigital.com, and although t= here = are no DMC dashes, per say, they do have a custom shop.  I would assum= e = that if there were enough interest on the list we may be able to get some s= ort = of a discount (at least off of the engineering/design side).  If anyon= e is = interested in having this researched, please send me an e-mail.  I hav= e an = old cracked binacle that I could always send to them and see what they come= up = with.
 
Even though they are out of style, I think that digital= = instrumentation would look greatin the D (that was about the only thing tha= t I = liked with a piece of junk Nissan 300ZX I used to own).

Personally I agree whole heartedly with the message as written. It seemed to have enough leeway to allow for someone from one of the parts suppliers to post to say "We have those!", or to post a Web address for a sale and things like that. Yet it keeps the list essentially non-commercial. I've been on a list that turned into free advertising for one or two people. Enough posts that it was difficult wading through them to get to the good stuff. Finally the list died as people decided it was too much work. I personally think the moderators are doing a great job and I fully support their decision to limit commercial postings.

The Delorean came with a 2.8 SOHC V-6 engine producing only 130HP, which is low even in early 80's standards. 0-60 with the 5 speed was in the 9 second range, the automatics were even slower. It's too bad DMC failed when it did. The 1984 Deloreans were supposed to have a lot more power in order to match speed with its appearance. It was going to be twin turbo and twin intercooled in order to compete with the new 1984 Corvette. This would've made 0-60 in the high 5 second range and finishing the 1/4 mile in about 14.9 seconds. This would've made the Delorean one of the fastest production cars in the world. Of course you can always turbocharge an ordinary Delorean or swap in a rotary powerplant for more performance.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have to agree with Marc here. I'm not real familiar with the Olds 307, but I know the Chevy 307 is a DOG. It has the same dimensions and weight as the other chevy small blocks (302, 305, 307, 327, 350, 400), which are basically just different combinations of internal parts, but was one of the weakest and least popular motors. If you insist on the GM V8 conversion, spend a couple hundred bucks and pick up a 350, which can EASILY be made to put out over 350 HP! I do however think that any of these would make for a car with horrible weight distribution and possibly severe understeer. Following Marc's suggestion with a smaller engine (4 or 6 cyl) and possibly a turbo, you could feasibly end up with much more power than the D came with and a weight distribution equivalent to the original or even closer to 50/50. I know the offer of the free motor is tempting, but the hastles it will create will quickly negate any savings.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Matt, There are several connections to the top of the DeLorean fuel tank that could give you this problem with the fuel smell. You already checked the top of the fuel pump, good. Next is the fill hose and vent located behind the vertical cover in the luggage compartment directly under the fill port. Remove this cover and inspect the hoses there. Inspect the tip over valve and all the hose clamps. Check the hoses, if they are hard you may just want to replace the hoses while you are in there anyway. Lastly, do Not overfill your tank when refueling. Hope this helps.
