Anyway I was using everything out of vin 5520 including all the wiring and electronics,Boy have I learned a lot about "D"s,again those were my beginnings with Deloreans,since then,I have restored other "D"s and also other Bricklins,Fiero GTs and Corvettes,some which I still have,anybody else out there have a rich history with Gullwing restorations?

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit No, this is not a Delorean "I need help fixing something" story. Actually I am about to purchase my second Delorean, however it is located somewhere around Pittsburgh, PA. I live in New York (about 20 minutes from PJ Grady's shop). My problem is as follows: I need someone to look at this Delorean to let me know if it is a sound purchase. I would love a Rob Grady or DMC Joe type to be there poking and prodding around, but realize this is not going to happen. So, I ask you my fellow Delorean owners and fans, any suggestions? The cost factor is not important, I am more concerned about making sure the car is as good as it looks and sounds. The seller has been terrific, but we all know that a missed problem could be a costly one, so I want to know about it ahead of time. Any ideas or stories about "How I purchased my Delorean from another state" would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone and enjoy the rest of your summer. Safe and happy driving!

Almost as amazing as finding out the DeLorean was a real car when I was a kid was finding out that the engines were a Volvo Renault Peugot mix! I mean wow! Well my joy was short lived when I found out that they were a huge flop in regards to reliability, performance and endurance. One person I talked to said that the "lubricating system was inadeuate and therefore allowed the engine to 'eat' camshafts." is this true? say it aint so... and if this is (dare I say it!) TRUE, what can be done to ammend the situation. Have thiongs like engine revamps gone on, or engine replacement? Plus does anyone know of a dual turbo D? and where I can get specs for ALL Deloreans regarding engine performance... Any info for the above would greatly be appreciated!

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Dear DML, (again) Well more inquisitiveness has lead to the question about frame rust. Yes I know about the epoxy resin that the frame was once dipped into to prevent this very problem. However I mean to ask about traditional maintenance of the frame such as things like yearly (or more) oil sprayings with a specially formulated rust inhibitor such as Crown or Rust Check. Is this a feasible (and yes I know its ugly) solution? I mean after all, I've been doing it to my Volvo 240 for Eighteen years and the ALL PLAIN STEEL body is the only thing that seems to be lasting! So shouldn't it work? Mike Mishka1@interlog.com P.s. I found out from the archive that the D engine produces about 100 hp or 134 ft. lbs o' torque, roughl;y the same as my inline four on my Volvo. ------------------------------ message 2332 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/dmcnews/?start=2332 X-Mailing-List: dmcnews@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/dmcnews/ Date: Sat, 21 Aug 1999 13:09:45 -0400 From: Jim MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: [DML] New Owner RPM Question Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I just bought a 81 5-speed with 25K.

I'm new to this list. First off, I'll tell you my story of how I found my love for DeLoreans. When I was about 10 or 11, my dad took me to a farm show at the Mark of the Quad-Cities. He is an engineer and really interested in machinery such as that. I wanted to go just to see the inside of the new arena, so I, nor my Dad found the show very exciting. We decided to walk around the almost empty parking lot and we came across a DeLorean. I was suprised. I had always loved the Back to the Future movies, but I never realized that a DeLorean was a real thing. I was amazed to know that this car was real. The gull-wing doors and the over all shape. It was Godly. Well then I became obsessed the car. I never actually saw one again until just 2 weeks ago. I saw it driving down the road in my hometown of Bettendorf, IA. I freaked out and almost started following it. I decided that wouldn't be a good idea though. My obsession with the car was rekindled (sp?) by that brief meeting. Money is low over here being 17 years old, but I can assure you that I will own a DeLorean within the next 13 years. Heh, how's that for a deadline. Anyway, I was wondering if anybody on this list was from the Quad-City area? If so, write me back. If anybody would be so kind as to let me give their DeLorean a spin (I'd of course pay for such honor) let me know.

No, it isn't. The Delorean's PRV-6 (or B28F as Volvo calls it) is a bit flat in the performance department - it only makes 130HP stock. However, it is an extremely reliable and efficient engine. The engine does *not* eat camshafts. There was a PRV-6 variant, the B27F, which was the predecessor to the B28F used in the DeLorean. It is much less reliable and may be where the confusion comes from. The PRV will last forever - some of them have over 200,000 miles on them - if it is well maintained. The secret to long PRV life is to change the oil regularly and not overheat it. > say it aint so... and if this is (dare I say it!) TRUE, what can be > done to ammend the situation.

Yes, engine swaps are popular, but typically just to improve performance, or because something very bad (fire, etc.) happened to the original one. > Plus does anyone know of a dual turbo D? and where I can get specs for > ALL Deloreans regarding engine performance... The stock DeLorean has a 130HP 2.85L PRV. Apparently (there was just a message about this yesterday) Steve Wynne at DMC-Houston has some modifications, including a performance camshaft, that reportedly raises the HP output to around 180HP, naturally aspirated. There is also a bolt-on twin turbo kit (sold by Turbo Manifold, whose contact information I don't have) which raises output to approximately the same level with no internal engine modifications. I suppose if you combined the two you could get over 200HP. As far as frame rust - yes, it's a problem, but it is frequently not a terminal problem. I haven't heard of trying to clean the frame or otherwise maintain it to prevent rust, possibly because so many of the rust prone areas are impossible to get to. Fortunately there are replacement factory frames (complete with epoxy) available, and there is also a stainless steel frame available from www.pearce-design.com. ------------------------------ message 2340 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/dmcnews/?start=2340 X-Mailing-List: dmcnews@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/dmcnews/ Date: Sun, 22 Aug 1999 09:45:17 +1000 From: Lance R Haslewood Mime-Version: 1.0 Subject: [DML] AUSSIE DELOREAN Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit There is a DeLorean on display at the Birdwood National Auto Museum in South Australia.
