Someone on ebay is just figuring out the name of one of the part suppliers. Heres what i found: These are two struts which hold open the door on a DeLorean automobile, my son had them in the hopes of buying a car to put them on, but his finances will not allow it for a while anyway, so here they are. Black and chrome, they have a silver and black circular sticker on them with a picture of a DeLorean with it's doors up, and says "P.J. Grady Inc." on top ( the manufacturer, maybe?), and "DeLorean" beneath the car's picture. Maybe some Delorean lovers out there know what they're worth, they are pretty just to display as a piece of auto history, or maybe an owner can use them. The winner pays $5 shipping.

I hope that everyone returned home safely. I enjoyed myself and I hope that everyone else did. We had five Deloreans at our meet and all of them were 81 models. (My Delorean being the youngest one there. But not by much ) I am sure that there will be another meet in the future. When we do I hope that the people that were unable to come to this meet can come to it.

Upon starting the car, the oil light was on and the pressure gauge was way above 80. When I turn the car off it sits at 60. I just had the oil and filter changed last week (6.5 quarts were used). I checked the dipstick and it reads low, but there are only a couple of drops underneath the car (which have been happening, due to a slight leak on the timing cover). Could this be the oil pump? Should I add more oil? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit If you are truly interested in attending a delorean meeting you may need to drive the miles. The first meeting i ever went to was in greenville, AL. I live in New Orleans. I had to drive about 300 miles just to get there but it was well worth it. Take some time reading the DML till you find a meeting in a nearby state and go make some new friends when you hear about a meeting.

My dad bought the car for $12K and brought it home to Colorado with 8,000 miles on it, currently it has 28,000 miles. I have read 90% of the archive and have learned a lot about the car and the people who post to the board often. My car is currently having some long overdue work/updates done and I would have missed quite a few things without this fine resource (i.e. Trailing arm bolts). I know I will continue to use this site for reference as well as entertainment. I have even been out to DMCJoe's website, I can't wait until he gets it all done. Joe when are you going to come to Colorado for house calls, I'm not sure I want to tangle with a door adjustment? Just kidding. FYI, I am having the work done by a long time freind / mechanic, he has worked on every car imaginable for about 30 years and so far parts have cost me a lot more than labor, because he loves having the car to show to some of his regular, Porche, NSX, & BMW customers. After I get this work done I plan on taking over the maintenance & care of the car myself. If I lived close to one of the service centers I would have probaly taken it to them. As it is I have used most authorized Delorean service center for parts with a preference toward PJ Grady. They are always freindly and Rob knows his stuff. I do have a couple of questions/comments: 1. I found the original window sticker for the car . It was sold out of R.O. Evans Pontiac-GMC, CO. Dallas Texas with a sticker price of $26,825.00 isn't it likely it sold for more than this? FYI the sticker states the car should get 18 MPH with an annual fuel cost of around $1,291 @ $1.55 per gallon. 2. I found in an old De Gull Wing magazine, July/August 1984, Vol. 3, #1 an add for a voice & intelligence monitor for the D. Did anyone on the list ever have one? It was supposed to monitor 13 functions including things like: keys in ignition, Low fuel, low oil pressure, ext. and give a voice alert. I don't really want one, however, I would like to know if they worked, if it was hard to install and if it was as annoying as I think it could be? 3 I also have a few "THE SILVER DREAM" publications. The official publication of Delorean Motor Club of Texas, does this club still exist as it appears from the publication they were in a spot of trouble with one of their founders? 4. I also ran across in De Gull Wing, March/April 82? Volume 2, Number 5 a Troubleshooting Diagnostic Chart - Fuel Injection, Lambda Control & Idle Speed Control. Does anyone on the list know anything about this chart and it is a useful tool in diagnosing problems? I do believe an original D is much more attractive than one that has been modified with paint, ground effects and other external additions, although many I've seen are very good looking. Upgrades in the mechanical reliability of the car is an entirely different story, if the car is running great due to these upgrades than the owner has more time to enjoy the thrill of the ride over the thrill of being under the hood. Thanks for the Help. Love the list!
