I know to treat them with Lexol and other leather products works well. However I am thinking of getting covers for mine that I can remove when I want to, however I would like to have them on to avoid the scratches and knicks that sometimes occur to the seats when climbing in and out. Since the seats are so expensive to replace I want to try to preserve them as best I can. I have heard about factory sheepskin covers? Are there such things. I would be interested to hear other owners solutions.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Marc, Your heart is certainly in the right place, but be aware that quality speaker cabinets are designed with the aid of highly sophisticated computers and other state of the art techniques. To match the low end response of today's digitally produced music every facet is taken into account, i.e.: speaker size, wattage, interior air volume, height, width, angle, base ports or not, construction materials, fasteners, glues, acoustical damping materials, and more. You may be able to construct a box that looks right, but to make it sound right is a much bigger challenge. Oddly enough many years ago I bought a speaker box for my DeLorean. It was the perfect size with a low profile. It held four 8" speakers and sounded great. When we converted the car to a BTTF show car we removed the speaker to make room for the "flux capacitor". The cabinet which is covered in a gray felt material is sitting on a shelf in our storage area.

The location is: The El Torito restaurant 1961 Diamond Blvd Concord (925) 798-7660 The El Torito is located in the Willows Shopping Center off of Willow Pass Road at Highway 680. You can see it from the freeway on the east side of the highway. We'll be discussing activities for the club, such as road trips to scenic locations, overnighters to the coast and Lake Tahoe, trips to the wine country and car shows in our area. As a reward for attending, I have a piece of original DeLorean memorabilia for every owner. E-mail me if you can come. I'll need to let the restaurant know about how many people will be coming. I'll make the reservation to seat us at 9:30 when the restaurant opens, so please be prompt. Come on out even if you can't bring your car. We'll start with breakfast/brunch and then get our cars lined up for a photo shoot. If enough people attend we'll caravan to one of the local scenic locations. I've been trying to find every DeLorean owner in the Northern California area. Membership is free. We've had 2 'meets' so far. We are planning tours, tech sessions, and perhaps we'll even host a larger event. If you'd like to join in just let me know. Soon we'll have our own web site for club information and announcements and a message board. Having a lack of DeLorean service facilities in our area makes it all the more important for us to band together. If you like to see some photos from our 'meets', check out my web site and the NCDMC website at: http://members.tripod.com/ncdmc Ken Montgomery ================================================================ Ken Montgomery Sacramento, CA VIN #10911 'OUTTIME' http://www.jps.net/arkham/delorean01.htm kenm@csus.edu ================================================================ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroups.com home: http://www.egroups.com/group/dmcnews http://www.egroups.com - Simplifying group communications ------------------------------ message 821 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/dmcnews/?start=821 X-Mailing-List: dmcnews@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/dmcnews/ From: Jus4sho@aol.com Date: Wed, 2 Jun 1999 08:25:39 EDT MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: [DML] 1999 Ohio Show Information?

The Holden is a car produced by GM Australia and the show is solely for Holdens. Rather disappointing, to say the least. The organisers are probably worried that the 'D' will steal the show!!! If anyone is interested, they can check out the latest range of Holdens at www.holden.com.au and www.hsv.com.au. HSV meaning Holden Special Vehicles.

Ken Koncelik & I will be publishing details in the VERY near future. At one time I had heard rumors of a last sale at the DMC warehouse in Columbus before the inventory was moved to Houston. I don't know what is really happening with that.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In the past I have worked in the car audio industry, and I am familiar with the variables associated with speaker design. I have some computer software, and access to advanced MCAD systems for design. Does your box for four 8" speakers cover the rear window? Is is a Isobaric design? Is it for sale?

I purchased a set three years ago from DeLorean One. They are a very good in quality. They are thick, equal shades in color and well assembled. NOT CHEAP, they are costly. They do help to keep the original seat covers from further deterioration. It also help the seat from becoming frying hot from the sun and the bone chilling feeling from the cold temperatures. It also provides a cushion, that will boost you in the height when you are seated. It will give you a nice "new"contour and comfort to you as the driver as well as to the passenger, whereby the original seats will not. The sheepskin covers is the well worth the money. Many DMLers feel that it makes the interior looks "gordy" destroys the "futuristic" look. My opinion by experiences? Go a a long trip for five hours or longer, with and without them for and you will understand which way you want to go. As they used to say: "try it, you will like it!"

My problem was found to be a bad warm-up regulator. A rebuilt one can be found by most repair shops. Mine was $210. which is far less that a new one. Suggest you have your fuel pressure and that regulator checked.

Of course I did have to have new seals, oriface tube, O-rings, oil to accumulator and compressor, etc, but the air conditioning is running cold. The only problem was that the local Ford dealer who worked on it could not locate an adapter for the high side of the compressor for this conversion. But all seems well. If a problem occurs I will post it.

When the factory first opened and started producing cars we worked from 8am.to 5.30pm.
When the factory was up and running they started an Nightshift hence doubling the output.
I doubt if they ever produced even 40 car a day and that is including the Nightshift.
There never was good Cars and not so good Cars they were all good Cars.
