I think it had black interior. I tried to talk to the shop but they were to enthralled in the painting of another car. Does anybody know who's Delorean this is? The shop who is working on it has done a fantastic job. I'm curious to know if they have worked on other Deloreans and if anybody has any other experiences with them. Sorry but I just can't remember the name of the shop. For those who have seen will know. Let me know.

Over the course of the 2000 mile trip I came across a problem. I would be driving on the freeway and the car would die, first it was shake and it felt like it wasn't getting enough fuel or something like that. And the weird thing is this happened to me twice and both times, it was pouring down rain. When the weather was fine the car drove just fine. So I though that the rain was somehow contributing to this problem, Has anyone ever had this happen to them or what? > Thanks. > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > eGroups now offers FREE email newsletters! > Women.com, RollingStone, Travelocity, and more… > Sign-up Now! http://clickhere.egroups.com/click/315 > > > eGroups.com home: http://www.egroups.com/group/dmcnews > http://www.egroups.com - Simplifying group communications > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroups.com home: http://www.egroups.com/group/dmcnews http://www.egroups.com - Simplifying group communications ------------------------------ message 943 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/dmcnews/?start=943 X-Mailing-List: dmcnews@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/dmcnews/ Date: Sat, 12 Jun 1999 16:41:14 -0500 From: Mark Noeltner Mime-Version: 1.0 Subject: [DML] Fuel hose - Special part?

It is high pressure SAE100R7 1/4" hose, not normal fuel line. It is a teflon hose reinforced with braid, similar to the so-called stainless steel clutch lines but reinforced with cloth braid rather than steel. Do not use plain fuel hose, it will not stand the pressure and will probably set your car on fire. There are actually three of these hoses on the car, two at the fuel pump and one at the accumulator. All of the injection hoses are similar but not exactly the same. This hose are readily available from the Delorean places, or ask for Anson type TL704 from a hydraulics place. Aeroquip makes something similar. Then the fun part is getting them installed on the barb fittings. It's a very tight fit.

When I took my car to Don at the DeLorean Motor Center for its check-up he told me that I still had the original coolant among other things that are original. He didn't specify if this was a good thing or a bad thing so now I'm wondering if it is good or bad to have it in my car. It runs like a champ and never overheats so I guess if it ain't broke don't fix it but I don't want to ruin the engine if this is a bad thing. How about it DMC Joe and others. What's your opinion?

The Graduating glass selected BACK TO THE FUTURE as their theme. The High School Gym was dressed inside and out with Themes from all three BTTF films replete with a Delorean provided by the NCDMC Association. Posed in a dramatic setting in front of the Courthouse set an NCDMC DeLorean (owned by Lee Seiler) was the center piece of the nights big doings. All grad night kids posed with the DeLorean for professional Still and Video pictures along with Sacramento TV News coverage. At 10PM the Court house doors were locked and all 389 grads' were hosted to a night of partying with games, food and dancing and a 5am raffle for prized which included a Limited Edition DeLorean Kit donated by the members of the NCDMC. The NCDMC DeLorean was moved inside for grad to get their own pictures, after rides in the DeLorean. The Delorean rides and strobe-lit court house drew such a large crown that the street was closed and the DeLorean rides had to start down the side walk to the street for the trip "Moving on through time" (around the block)! The NCDMC DeLorean was the center of interest through out the night, open for inspection by all. News Paper clippings of JZD's life and times were displayed along with Clips from all three BTTF films. -30- NCDMC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroups.com home: http://www.egroups.com/group/dmcnews http://www.egroups.com - Simplifying group communications ------------------------------ message 949 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/dmcnews/?start=949 X-Mailing-List: dmcnews@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/dmcnews/ From: "Murray Fisher" Date: Sun, 13 Jun 1999 06:02:44 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: [DML] Coolant Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0009_01BEB562.5A815380" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit ------=_NextPart_000_0009_01BEB562.5A815380 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable content-type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" I may be in the same boat with the other owner who just posted a query re h= is coolant.

THe traffic was slow and calm. Nice and qiet. A car hasen't past by for a coupla minutes, when, all of the sudden . . . Crawling, slithering across the spotted pavement was a growling stainless-steel snake. It slowly moved across and, luckily for me, it had a red light. So, I fell into paranoic bliss for 40 seconds. The light from the stores on the street and the lamp were reflecting off it's body, giving it a violet glow. With a wide chassis, and low to the ground body, it bullied anything that came it's way. Then the light turned green, and with a low cruel growl, it hovered away.

Does > anyone know for sure about this? I am the one who posted that message. I had read about the new coolant at a local autoparts store, but due to a few vague phrases on the label I suspected it might be snake oil. So I called Prestone and spoke to a technician who assured me that the new coolant will indeed last five years in my DeLorean without doing any damage. > I changed other liquids at that time (two years ago) > I did not change the coolant...

Yes, it is important to change your coolant in any car, especially one with an aluminum engine. This has to do with preventing corrosive deterioration, NOT with keeping the engine cool. As they explained to me, coolant reacts chemically with the aluminum and gradually changes its acidity. Over time this will damage your engine, radiator, heater core, and just about everything else in your cooling system. After a year or two, old coolant will still keep your engine cool but it will begin to slowly ruin your aluminum. For about $1 per gallon more, the new formula coolant is more stable and will last much longer than the old green coolants. To get the new coolant to last so long, it is vitally important to remove every drop of the old stuff. You must perform a flush of the whole system. This is the reason Prestone's new coolant is colored orange, to prevent us consumers from accidentally mixing it with the old green stuff. I have heard that other brands have colored their new formula coolants in red. However, I do not know about that blue stuff that Murray found in his car. Perhaps it is just a different brand of the new formula? - Mike Substelny ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroups.com home: http://www.egroups.com/group/dmcnews http://www.egroups.com - Simplifying group communications ------------------------------ message 956 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/dmcnews/?start=956 X-Mailing-List: dmcnews@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/dmcnews/ From: LovDMC12@aol.com Date: Mon, 14 Jun 1999 10:03:34 EDT MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: [DML] Re: OLD COOLANT Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I can't speak for old coolant in a DeLorean, but I recently had problems with my '91 Mercury Cougar due to old coolant. According to the dealer, anti-freeze becomes acidic with age. That is the reason Ford suggests flushing the system and replacing the coolant every 30000 miles. I left mine in for some 60000 miles before changing it. Since then I've put another 30000 miles on the car. Well, the old coolant had acidified and created a weak spot in the head gasket at the number 4 cylinder. I've never had this problem with my DeLorean, but since most anti-freeze is the same, I figure it's better safe than sorry. I had the coolant system in my D flushed a few months after I bought it. I don't feel like having to put head gaskets in it when $20 worth of anti-freeze would save me this expense. Should you change the anti-freeze in a DeLorean every year as someone suggested earlier? This seems to be a bit too often to me.

Content-Type: text/html Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit For my weekend project I decided to do a little sanding and repainting of my Ds frame. I found, though not too surprised, a few rust holes forming on the bottom of the frame. ( Click HERE to view ) Correct me if I'm wrong but these areas are more plating than structural (like I said they are just small holes on the bottom) and I plan on plate welding the areas to fix the problem for now. The only area that concerns me is a rusted out area on the drivers side rear suspension tower. This area is on the top side of the section right to the left of the oil pan. To my guessing it looks like it in itself is not structual, but the area around it is. Should I just plate weld that area or should I consider rebuilding or replacing that frame segment instead??

I assume then that it is the Prestone brand. I will look into getting mine changed and insist on a very thorough flush job. I am 78 years old and don't bend as well as I used to, so hire most things done, although I have done everything you can name to cars and engines over my lifetime. I am good at supervising tho. Ho Ho. Joe says my mileage would indicate that my present antifreeze is still within its limits. Also got two notes from others who say when they bought their cars brand new it had this same bright blue coolant in it! I have not found out just what brand it is yet, but one of them said his still has it in it. Yes, I know about the corrosion etc, so want to get it changed quickly. Thanks again. BTW by any chance can you give me any info on draining and refilling the coolant properly. I see your input on here quite often and thought you might know this. I remember in the olden days we used to drain the petcock on the radiator and then another one on the block itself in order to get all the old coolant out. I might mention that I have the mod in my cooling system where a by pass tube goes from the upper engine center rear, to the "front" of the plastic reservoir. I got this from the Pacific Northwest Club in Seattle, Wa, who have developed it. It works great and no problems. Re Joes comments, I would think that TIME would be the constriction rather than MILEAGE, but who am I to know!

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Dear List, Okay, here's my latest...When I start my DeLorean after its been sitting for awhile, it will idle extremely rough and at down around 500 RPMs. The engine will not respond to any changes in the position of the throttle until about 5 minutes after its been running, and when it finally does respond I get this weird popping noise that sounds like it's coming from inside the engine. After the car has been running for about fifteen minutes, it will calm down and behave semi normally, except then I have a serious loss of power. It will also run hot at around 220 degrees according to the temperature gauge. I've bled and refilled the coolant to resolve the temperature problem, but that hasn't helped. I've also noticed absolutely no leaks in the system. I might have found the solution, but I wanted to check it with the experts before I go poking around in unfamiliar territory. Apparently the last owner of my car had fuel mixture problems a lot. The threaded hole where the fuel mixture adjustment screw used to be is stripped and instead of a screw, someone has stuck the top of a golf tee in it. Now I'm not saying this wouldn't work, but I'm fairly sure there is a better way to plug that particular hole. If I go messing with this tee (which is jammed in pretty tight) I'm afraid I might break it off, but if I don't mess with it I may never solve my idling problem. The other thing I was thinking it might be is the cold start valve, but that appears to be in working order. Any help would be very, VERY useful!

In Germany a Renault repair shop did the job for me. At the moment I have not the number for the kit but in USA it is easier to get one from a DeLorean supplier. The most important thing is to tell every mechanic who wants to work at your car that he never lift the car at the jack points because the hole weight of the car will hang on a few screws connect the frame with the plastic shell. The best is a lift where the car can stand with the wheels on it.

Here is how it came about. In 1989 when my DeLorean turned 150K miles the engine developed a leaky head gasket which caused air to be trapped at the thermostat. I knew that if I could bleed the air from the system on a continuous basis I could continue to drive the car. I already knew that there was an air bleed hose running from the top of the radiator back to the coolant bottle. I realized that if I could do the same at the thermostat it should solve the problem. After I did the modification the problem was corrected. After several months of field testing I started to install the modification on customers cars. Several years ago one of those cars traveled up to one of the big DeLorean shows and the owner said that many of the participants in the show were very interested in the set up. Shortly after that I heard that someone from a club up north was selling the device to other DeLorean owners. No harm done, I am glad to know that something I developed was helping other DeLorean owners. However, I would like everyone to know that It was developed by yours truly, or better yet I will give credit to DeLorean Services. I believe there is a clause in my contract that reads that anything I invent belongs to the company. This should keep our legal department happy; ha! ha!

Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit You know, I was wondering if anyone else was in the same boat as I. Aside from the delorean being my number 1 dream car, there's a humble little Volkswagon out there that sports an incredible body. The Scirrocco. Mostly just the middle models, 1985, & 86. But if anyone ever sees this car driving down the street, stop a minute and glare at it's beautiful cut-off 80's lines. With a thin grill, dual square headlights on each side, and a low, mean hatchback gives it a charming resemblance to the D. And if you ever see one painted silver, then it's hard to differ them. So, as the D may be my dream car, many of you, like myself who cannot afford or even find a D, the Scirrocco is a beautiful alternative, and a good 2nd place dream car. Keep an eye out. And don't underestimate the power of the Volkswagons. ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.

Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Alright you guys, I'm still confused about my coolant. DMC Joe says it's okay and Mike S. says that the acidity stuff is eating away at my aluminum engine. If that were the case shouldn't my car be in D heaven by now after 18years? Again, Don didn't recommend that it be changed either. Let's say that I take the safe road and have my local mechanic do the job for me. Is there anything special about the D that he should know before the flush and fill or is the system pretty generic? I'm torn between "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" and "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". Please advise and we might all learn something once again about these mysterious cars.

I sure hope you have checked the fuses first, this is a lot of work to fix. More #$%^# words to follow, I'm sure The fun is just beginning. Your not going to like this, but what has happened is that the screws have galled themsleves into the aluminum rivet-nuts that are attached to the body, and are now spinning uselessly in the holes. The only fix I have ever see for this is to grind the screw heads off with a Dremel tool, then grind off the riv-nuts, and then replace them. My recollection is that several of the screws holding the washer tank cover in place are behind it, so to get to them you get to remove the left front fender. Of course to do that you have to partially remove the front facia. To do this you have to remove the hood. etc etc etc.... You may be better off with a squirt gun full of washer fluid until you have a lot of spare time. The lesson from this is that ANY TIME you remove the screws from the riv- nuts, anywhere on the car, put some anti-sieze compound on the threads. This coommonly happens to the access panels in the front lugage compartment since the back sides of the riv-nuts are exposed to weather. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroups.com home: http://www.egroups.com/group/dmcnews http://www.egroups.com - Simplifying group communications ------------------------------ message 982 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/dmcnews/?start=982 X-Mailing-List: dmcnews@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/dmcnews/ Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 14:43:39 -0500 (CDT) From: In-Reply-To: <19990614.230908.3958.0.INDRAG@juno.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: [DML] Re: Scirroccos, anyone? Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Ariel, I'm not suprised you like the Scirrocco- it was actually penned by the same man (Giorgietto Guigaro). The lines are very similar and I considered buying one in addition to my DeLorean for a while as a daily driver. Guigaro (in my opinion) was an extremely talented stylist of the time and worked for prestigious design firms like Ghia, before starting Ital designs. In addition to the Scirrocco and DeLorean, he did other excellent cars like the Lotus Espirit, couple Maseratis (Bora and Merak I believe) and even the BMW M1 (which a few of the initial DeLorean drawings resembled). Truly an amazing designer in my opinion- anyone have any websites on him??

DMC Joe says it's okay and Mike S. says that the acidity stuff is eating away at my aluminum engine. If that were the case shouldn't my car be in D heaven by now after 18years? Again, Don didn't recommend that it be changed either. Let's say that I take the safe road and have my local mechanic do the job for me. Is there anything special about the D that he should know before the flush and fill or is the system pretty generic? I'm torn between "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" and "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". Please advise and we might all learn something once again about these mysterious cars.

I was one of the three DeLorean owners that met John DeLorean at his home here in NJ this past Sunday. Let me say that Mr. DeLorean is a very personable gentleman. It was a great thrill to meet him and to talk to him about my car. One of the owners I went with knew an associate of John Delorean's so we were able to set up a meeting in advance at his house through this associate of his. As most of you Mr. Delorean is a private man these days. However he was gracious enough to have us over to his estate after assurances it would only be a few of us. We took three DeLorean's mine included. We met Mr. DeLorean and his daughter. He signed some items that I had brought such as different dealer brochures and his autobiography. In any case it was an extremely enjoyable day. I have posted two picture that I took this past Sunday for those of you that would like to see what Mr. Delorean looks like as well as a picture of two of our cars in front of his house.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Mr Copies, If you would like details on the factory lock module you cold contact us directly for that information. We suggest that you get rid of the factory unit. Even if you get it to work it will eventually burn your door solenoids out, kill your battery, or even trap you inside the car. If you want your central locking system to operate as it was designed you will need to purchase the Lockzilla from PJ Grady. The central locking system was standard equipment in all DeLorean's. DMC Joe / DeLorean Services / Web Site: DMC Joe / DeLorean Services / Web Site: ---------- From: Mr Copies To: dmcnews@egroups.com Subject: [DML] How do I test my lock module? Date: Tuesday, June 15, 1999 3:02 AM Hi Everyone! Here's a quick power lock question I haven't been able to find in the archives. My central locking system doesn't work. So here's what I've done.... I tested the solenoids and I can manually fire off each one (together) by attaching a wire directly to the battery terminals and then touching the solenoid connections. In it's regular state...there doesn't seem to be any power going to the system at all. Solenoids, door contact switch etc....are all dead. In the MAIN connection plug - My module connector only has 4 wires coming out of it - should there be five or more?? My female connection switch has the bottom 4 holes filled - every other hole is empty. I have the small plug that jets out of the main bundle attached. When I opened the actual module (black box) there appears to be some wires cut on each of the two relays (?), ....I'm almost afraid to ask if this is standard. :) The last owner of my Delorean told me that he had "remote" locks...but lost the key transmitter... and now I'm wondering if he hacked into the factory lock system to retrofit his. Were remote locks standard in 83?...or is this some after-market ^$#*&$#^*. He butchered the electrical system. I felt like Quincy tonight conducting an autopsy. Would the other relays in the system affect the lock module? I'm going to replace the 8 common ones next weekend and was wondering if it would help.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Josh, Your problem is in the fuel mixture adjustment or the fuel enrichment circuit. The golf tee in the access hole should be no problem, it is only an access hole and anything that will seal the hole will do. Don't bother checking the cold start valve it has nothing to do with engine performance. If you engine is running hot you still have air in the system or your cooling fan circuit is not operating properly.

Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit There were many plans if JZD would have stayed in buisness. The plans you are talking about were for a 4 door sedan featuring gull wing doors. Can you imagine that? Another creation was to be a metro bus created by DMC. If you check around on the net you might be able to find a JPEG of what this bus would have looked like. Somewhere out there you can find a pic with the name DELOREAN edited over the real words on top of the bus. He would have made great contributions to the automotive world. Many of his past contributions are part of our everyday lives but we just dont realize it. I was on the bttf website a few days ago and there is an article about a plastic sports car he wants to create. Its a shame he doesn't have the financial ability to start up a company just like that. He could make some drastic changes in our everyday car lives.

I can manufacture them but does anyone have an alternative (the entire panel was silicone sealed in place by previous owner!)? You can get the aluminum RivNuts, aka NutSerts, from the DMC suppliers for about 50cents each. The really hard part is finding a metric installation tool for them. If you're not a purist, convert to standard threads. The tool is available from bodyshop supply places. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroups.com home: http://www.egroups.com/group/dmcnews http://www.egroups.com - Simplifying group communications ------------------------------ message 1002 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/dmcnews/?start=1002 X-Mailing-List: dmcnews@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/dmcnews/ From: "DMC Joe" Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 22:10:30 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: [DML] Re: Is there a (lock) doctor in the house??? *look at the pic* Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Checked out you pictures and you do have several wires missing, there should be a wire in every hole.

It has gone now; it will begin its new carreer in an automobile museum that will open in 2001 in the province of Quebec (Canada). My (former) car won't be driven on the road again. It will be the star of the museum. However, I don't give up. Maybe I'll buy another one in "the future...". I take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been so useful on this mailing list (James and every other owner-member) with their comments and help, and also Rob Grady for his kind attention and availability. I will continue to read the DML in order to keep contact with a wonderful bunch of guys who appreciate such a special car. Guy V.

I am finally ready, though, to break my silence and buy a D. Anyway, I'm currently looking into a car in Las Vegas. Whatever car I get, I will be driving it frequently. It will be a daily driver, in fact. The D I'm looking at has 62k miles (verified to be actual miles). Disregarding the plethora of other questions regarding the car's condition, etc. which need to be asked, my question to all of you is this: Is it wise to buy a car with 62,000 miles on it? What kind of mileage do you guys have on your cars? I've read of a couple of list members with 200,000+ mile cars, but I'd like to know what the average DeLorean owner has on his car and the extent of the car's reliability beyond the big 100k. Also, does anyone live in Las Vegas that would be willing to be my eyes and examine the car? (I know it's a lot to ask) Or, does anyone know of a shop in Vegas that has experience working on the D that I could have the car inspected at? I'd like to thank everyone in advance for their help, regarding both this matter and any future questions I may have. After witnessing the support this group provides each other over the last two years, I know for a fact that you are all awesome and I look forward to joining the group as an owner. I'm not sure what kind of worth this thread would provide to the group as a whole, so feel free to email me privately.

It probably has all the updates and the bugs should be worked out. I have a D w/ 101,000 miles and use it as a daily driver. However, I have a back up just in case something goes wrong ('95 T/A that has come in handy) The best advice I can give is to do all the work on the D yourself. Don't take it to the local garages. (However, if you have a prob and can send it to a DeLorean service center that's completely different.) The D is an easy car to work on (I'm not a mechanic by any means so if I can work on it , anyone can) and I've found LOTS of things wrong with my D that was caused by 'local shops'. (No flames please! I know that there are some good 'local shops' out there, I just can't seem to find one in my area) Besides no one will take care of your car like yourself. After I started fixing things myself, I haven't had any serious problems out of my D and it has become very dependable. ( I should also pay homage to Scott Mueller for his help with my car as well) The DeLorean has a large support group and if you have any problems, chances are, someone has had the same ones and can lead you in the right direction.

The DeLorean's doors can be opened enough if it's on its top so that a passenger can escape. This is discussed in Popular Science's evaluation of the car in a 1981 issue. I can't remember the exact month. According to PS, the door and ground act as a lever and fulcrum allowing an average person to open the door to escape in the event of a roll over crash.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit The design utilized a "stock" panel. The basic crux of the mod is the reinforcement panel. In order to install a DIN type unit, you have to machine a nice neat square opening for it. This is particularly difficult in that you have to remove most of the panel between the radio and the AC louvers. This strip is so thin that even if you were able to keep from cutting all the way through, the piece left between the louvers and the radio is so flimsy, it gives no support to the top of the radio or the bottom of the louvers. This mod includes a support design that can be screwed/pop riveted to the dash panel and incorporates machined openings for the bottom tabs of the ac louvers. I considered making a drop in replacement with the openings cut and reinforced for radio conversions. Believe it or not, stainless steel would have been the least expensive, but an "original" style black, even in quantities of 100 would have to sell for at least $250.00 each. You can probably buy a modified one complete with radio from steve wynne for a much better price.

He was very personable, helpful, and efficient. I hope to receive my items by Monday. I also took my D in for it's first oil change for me as the owner and found a great garage her in San Diego that's not afraid to touch a DeLorean or charge me extra because they think it's an exotic car. The mechanics were extra interested and careful and even let me see the underside while it was on the lift, something usually unheard of because of insurance worries. I was fascinated by its design and only wish that I had my own lift here at home. It truly is a great car. I also had it in another car show here in town today but unfortunately came home without a trophy. I was surprised because it was such a small show but wasn't too surprised when the sponsor of the show won a trophy for her old Chevy. Can you spell FIXED? My reward was when a mother came up with her 6 year old and asked it she could take his photo with him in the driver's seat. It is already his "dream car"! Special thanks to Christopher Mack for keeping me company and answering all the usual questions from the spectators.

The 62K mile car that you are considering may well be a great car. Mileage, in and of itself, is not a good indicator of the condition of a Delo. I have seen some really good cars with high mileage, and some real garbage with under 20K miles. As a matter of fact, I have seen quite a bit of the latter. The most important piece of advise that I can pass on to you is to check the car's frame very carefully for deterioration. If the car in question has a good frame, then consider it further, if not, move on.

As usual, I am paranoid about even the simplest of services by the local mechanical shops without a communications meeting with the mechanic. The condenser and radiator removal was not a difficult task. By the way, I found a couple of small green satins on the core that were impossible to see without removing the condenser, and the hoses were VERY ridgid, so it was worthwhile.

With all the fussy owners who have "do not touch" signs all over their cars, the kids are shocked when I ask them if they would like to have their parents take a picture of them behind the wheel. I figure that great cars have great owners -- and I want everyone to know just what a great car this is. And, you meet some really nice people this way.

Any reputable radiator shop shouldn't have any problem dealing with a radiator with plastic tanks. This is very common radiator construction. I recently had a plastic tank on one of my Corvettes develop a lateral crack. I removed the radiator and took it to a local radiator shop where they replaced both tanks (the core was ok) without a hitch. The only problem I can imagine you might have is locating correct tanks. In this case, it might even less expensive to replace the entire assembly. But not to worry about repair if you can locate the correct tanks. Piece of cake! Good luck!

Accelerating in reverse or stopping in forward would work just fine. As with yours, it would immediately start and idle just fine. I would start by examining the fuel pick-up line. Check to see if there are any cracks in the line. Possibly the line has gone soft and collapsed upon itself but I wouldn't think this problem would have your type of symptoms. Good luck. - Kevin Wolter #6810 -----Original Message----- From: Bobby D.

PJ Grady makes an upgraded radiator with metal tanks (and better cooling efficiency). The price is not that much more than a replacement OEM radiator. If you are replacing your radiator, you should look into one of these. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroups.com home: http://www.egroups.com/group/dmcnews http://www.egroups.com - Simplifying group communications ------------------------------ message 1053 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/dmcnews/?start=1053 X-Mailing-List: dmcnews@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/dmcnews/ From: Gerald Deutsch Date: Mon, 21 Jun 1999 10:11:12 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: [DML] Re: A/C Blower Motor Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="---- =_NextPart_000_01BEBBCE.674B5580" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit ------ =_NextPart_000_01BEBBCE.674B5580 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable content-type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I put that anti-seize stuff in the bottom of mine where the bearing goes.

The main problem is that the plastic is now 18 years old and has gotten brittle over the years. What usually happens is as soon as pressure is applied at the hose connections the plastic cracks or shatters. In some instances the plastic side tanks, which are press fitted to the core, will separate from the core when the cooling system pressure is too high. All brass replacements are available from all of the parts suppliers.

As some of you have seen, I have a one page printout with the history of the Delorean and the specs on the back. This answers a lot of questions. I also have the DML web site listed at the bottom so if the person wants more info than I can give, they have a place to go to. The handouts I leave in the seat with a sign "free take one". I also let people sit in my car and take photos. The life of this hobby is sharing it with others. The little kids love getting their photo in it (you never know maybe a future owner), and the parents are surprised that someone would let people sit in their cars. To sum it up "Live the dream and share the dream".

James has been a driving force behind the growth of the DeLorean marque on the Internet, having created and moderated the DeLorean Mailing List since 1995. Previously, James was the first Internet Director for the DeLorean Owners Association.

Our goal at DMC is to change that by providing the highest quality repairs and restorations while insuring the future availability of parts," said James.

They are glued from inside and the special glue is very strong. Also the windshield window is glued but from outside. If you ever try to cut such a window glue you will noticed that it is very tough. Also you are a body builder you will get problems to push out any window at the DeLorean. For special cases I carry a small safety hammer in my DeLorean. With this tool I can cut my seat belt and crush the safety glass.

The door and ground act as a lever and fulcrum and only moderate strength is required to open the door the 15 inches required to escape.

In order to preserve the independence of the DML, and preclude any appearance of a conflict of interest, I have removed myself from the operations of the DML and DMC-News. DeLorean owner and longtime DML'er Dave Swingle of Illinois has graciously taken on the responsibility of Managing Moderator, essentially taking on the same tasks that used to be mine. Several other DML'ers have agreed to assist Dave in the moderation duties and DML/DMC-News related responsibilities. They are: Bruce Benson Knut Grimsrud Marty Maier Dick Ryan Mike Substelny All of them are longtime DML'ers and DeLorean owners with a strong background with the DeLorean automobile. I'd like to thank them for stepping up when asked and insuring the continued operation of the DeLorean Mailing List. In the nearly four years since the beginning of the DML, countless individuals have contributed to the success of the list, and I would be sure to leave some out if I tried to name them all. I must, however, thank Knut Grimsrud for all his help as "guest moderator" when I needed a break. Thanks also to Mike and Patti Substelny for their careful guardianship of the DeLorean Owners Directory (which incidentally, is now under the watch of Scott Mueller). To Greg Guillot and Dave Price, who maintain the Back Issues and Classifieds respectively, I owe a great debt of thanks - you've both made the web page a more valuable resource through your efforts. To the many folks who have stood by the DML through the occasionally turbulent times, posters and lurkers alike, I thank you all for your support and kind words over the years. I have the utmost faith and confidence in Dave Swingle and the rest of the members of the moderation panel. Under their stewardship, I am sure that the DML and the DMC-News website will be a powerful entity that will exist to serve the interests of all DeLorean owners and enthusiasts. Within the next week or so, my "@dmcnews.com" email address will be deleted, please note my new email address is "jv_espey@yahoo.com". Thank you!

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit NOTE LONG POSTING – Please read it through! - - Now that James Espey has explained what is going on with the list and his personal job, it’s time to introduce the new moderating panel and explain what we’re doing going forward. The moderating panel is made up of six long-time DML members – Mike Substelny, Bruce Benson, Marty Maier, Dick “raddad” Ryan, Knut Grimsrud, and me, Dave Swingle. I will be acting as the “Moderator of Moderators”, aka MOM. This is a required administrative function because eGroups requires the list to have a single “owner” who gets the complaint mail and pays the bill to turn off the advertising. The group will attempt to behave as a unified panel, and not one “manager”. Consistency will be the hard part. For the past 6 weeks or so, we have been undergoing “moderation training” by taking turns and asking James and each other for advice. If the list has seemed a little inconsistent in the recent past this may be why. Believe me, it’s not as easy as it looks, and it’s more amazing to me each day to realize that James has been doing this essentially nonstop for 4 years. We all owe James a huge debt of gratitude for his efforts through some trying times. Our intent and philosophies: ----The list will remain free of charge. It will be supported by continued sales of DMC paraphernalia as James has been doing. Depending on how well that does, it may also be supported by me. It will not be supported by or tied to any particular Delorean parts or other vendor. The new mailing address for ordering material will be posted to the website as soon as I figure out how (see below). ----The mission will stay the same, a MODERATED discussion of Delorean – the man and the machine. No politics, weather, get-rich-quick schemes, Trans-Ams, or virus warnings! ----We are still feeling out the moderation style. We’ve been experimenting with adjusting the behavior of the list by encouraging posters to reply privately where appropriate, clip out long quotes, and by discouraging low-content posting. Please don’t take these rejections as a personal affront. It is in the interest of keeping the list interesting to more people, without clutter, and creating a valuable archive of information that doesn’t read like a chat room. ----We will be moderating on a rotating cycle, changing moderators generally once a week. This means that each of us only has to moderate for a week at a time every six weeks. ----We are experimenting with different moderation timetables, balancing the desire for real-time posting with the chat-room effect and the impact on our personal time and our real jobs. The DMCNEWS website will continue to be maintained by several list members. I will, after some further education, begin updating the main pages. Knut Grimsrud will continue to maintain the FAQ section, Scott Mueller will be maintaining the owners directory, and Dave Price will continue to maintain the classified ads. We’re not sure what to do with the archives. Issues #1-500 will continue to be held on the main DMCNEWS web site indefinitely. More recent postings are on the eGroups site. I think it would be desirable to continue to archive on the DMCNEWS page as well, we’re looking into that with the assistance of Greg Guilliot. No huge changes to the web page are planned for a while, since none of us (except maybe Knut) is an expert webpage designer and have to rely on the graces of others for assistance. Keep an eye on this – it may take a short while to get it updated. I’ll post a notice here to the DML when something changes. The site is more of a billboard for the list than a dynamic ever-changing page, we’ll probably keep it that way. Comments are welcome. For now the best thing would be to send them to me directly and I’ll forward to the Moderation Panel. Looking forward to this adventure; Dave Swingle (dswingle@enteract.com) for Knut, Mike, Bruce, Dick, and Marty ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroups.com home: http://www.egroups.com/group/dmcnews http://www.egroups.com - Simplifying group communications ------------------------------ message 1070 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/dmcnews/?start=1070 X-Mailing-List: dmcnews@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/dmcnews/ Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 10:01:39 -0400 From: Alex Bischoff Mime-Version: 1.0 Subject: [DML] DeLorean as a daily driver? Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In May, I'll be graduating from college and, at that time, I plan on getting a new car. (I mean "new" in the sense of different, not necessarily "brand new".) I'm considering getting a D, but I'm a bit worried, as this car would be my daily driver -- this would be the car I'd be driving to and from work, and for everything really. Considering their age, are Ds reliable enough for this kind of daily use? To add to this, I'm not really much of a car person; I take care of the vital fluids, but I take my current car ('91 Taurus wagon) to the shop for most other maintenance. Lastly, if a D would be suitable, after all that, where would be a good place to find one? And, what price should I expect to pay? Other cars I'm considering (Olds Alero / Mercury Cougar / VW Golf) are about $16-18k with the options I want...

Obviously it could save your DeLorean from a fire, but it can also be used to smash out the windshield in an emergency.

The amount of work to keep this list going is a full time job. James has never complained about the time spent. He has also always been there if anyone had questions via the phone. The fact that this list has been free of charge, ( along with the web site) is a tribute to the true meaning of being a Delorean owner. As I stated in a post a few days ago, Live the Dream, Share the Dream. James has done both of these!!! Good luck to you James in your new position. If your past work is any indication of your future, then Steve W. had better get ready to double his business. As to our new "Mom", if I can be of any help please feel free to contact me at my email address. The key to the list if the ability to throw out a problem and the sharing of ideas on how to fix it comes right to your finger tips. I have subscribed to other auto lists and I can tell you that the DML is the only list where the questions are almost as much fun as the answers. Keep up the good work and again THANK YOU JAMES!!!!!

And then, Friday night, I get pulled over in my D after an evening out...I was fortunately sober and had no trouble there. I think I was stopped because the officer wanted to get a closer look at my car. He said someting about my RH taillight being out, and my registration being expired. Let me go with a warning - after asking a bunch of questions about the car. :-) Of course, the taillights checked out fine once I got home, but I've had people notice them fail before.

If so, I suppose you could modify ANYTHING on a DeLorean if you were so inclined to ruin it. Did you have in mind modifying it to resemble a BTTF D? Probably one of the most frequent modifications seen that is remotely acceptable is painting the car. Sometimes that becomes necessary if there has been a lot of body damage done and repaired with body putty. The only choice you have in that case is to paint. If you are considering an engine modification, there is a turbocharger kit that is available and is an acceptable modification to some if done correctly. Some also find it acceptable to modify the radio system by installing an upgraded radio.

When first started it dies immediately, restart and die again. This happens for several tries until the engine will just stay running, (very rough) . Any application of the gas pedal kills the engine during this time. After two or three minutes, no problem, engines runs smooth and accelerates fine. The replies to the thread implied the problem was in the fuel enrichment circuit, mainly the warmup regulator (102353) and the frequency valve (102395). Rather than blindly replacing these components I would rather have a means of diagnostics. Snapon Tools has a nice little fuel injection test kit for only $795.00, but I could replace a lot of parts for that much. So that's the story, any ideas.

If the car is upside down and you pull the interior door handle the door will easily open because there is now 160 pounds (door weight plus torsion bar and gas strut counter pressure) of opening pressure. The curvature of the roof will allow at least on door to open enough for an average size person to squeeze out. Of course if the hinges or latches are damaged or the car is underwater or flying in a BTTF movie none of the above will apply. BTW the very low profile and wide track of the DeLorean makes for a low probability of inverting the car.

I was ready to buy the second one I looked at, but a call to Rob Grady to get some prices to repair the problems I found lead me to decide to keep looking. Robert Hlavacek wrote: > Good luck.

Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I just wanted to say thanks to James, I've long had a faint idea of how much effort he was putting into the DML. I've been in dis-belief lately that James had allowed the DML to get so large and was actually able to keep up with it all! I'm glad that he was able to move on to the position he has, where he'll be able to continue to be involved in the Delorean community in a big way, and recieve that pay check that he so greatly deserves. Only those who are taking over for James can truly begin to appreciate all of the work he has done, and to them, I say, Thanks for taking on such a mighty task, and I wish you well in continuing the great thing that James has started here! -Steve VIN 17117 TAG NOVO5 55 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroups.com home: http://www.egroups.com/group/dmcnews http://www.egroups.com - Simplifying group communications ------------------------------ message 1100 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/dmcnews/?start=1100 X-Mailing-List: dmcnews@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/dmcnews/ From: "DMC Joe" Date: Wed, 23 Jun 1999 09:52:20 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: [DML] Re: Fuel Enrichment Circuit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit David, Close your wallet, no need spending that kind of money. Here are a couple of questions. Are all vacuum lines properly connected ? Has the CO mix ever been adjusted ? Is the tamper proof plug still in place ? Do you hear the frequency valve buzzing while the engine is idling ? BTW both the warm up regulator and frequency valve have an extremely low failure rate, I seriously doubt that either one needs to be replaced.

The DeLorean's PRV engine is known for fuel economy and reliability, not high performance. In stock trim it makes just a little over 130HP. As far as aftermarket upgrades, most of them are reliability oriented. The only real performance upgrade is one of the various turbo kits. These are generally fairly expensive, and while they make a noticeable performance boost, the resultant output is most always below 200HP - pretty good by 1981 standards, but not by 1999 standards. I estimate that with forged rods & pistons, intercoolers, etc. you might be able to get about 250HP out of the PRV. The RX-7 (which weighs about the same) makes that much stock. For the same price, you can get a good late-model Supra, RX-7, Stealth, or 300ZX. You'll find that these sorts of cars respond much better to bolt-on modifications. The DeLorean is beautiful, and unique. It's the sort of car that doesn't *have* to prove itself at a stoplight. The only real way to make a DeLorean go real fast is to put in a different kind of engine. Buick and Chevy V6s have been done and can make 300HP or so; there's also a couple of V8s that will fit. Any more than 300HP or so and you will break your transmission and possibly overstress the frame, as well, so you have a major re-engineering effort if you want to go past that. Whoever mentioned the idea of a 3-rotor Mazda wankel, email me privately. I have put some thought into that one... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroups.com home: http://www.egroups.com/group/dmcnews http://www.egroups.com - Simplifying group communications ------------------------------ message 1102 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/dmcnews/?start=1102 X-Mailing-List: dmcnews@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/dmcnews/ From: Martins Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 03:23:22 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: [DML] Re: Accessorize'n Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="---- =_NextPart_000_01BEBC60.CD4CD740" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit ------ =_NextPart_000_01BEBC60.CD4CD740 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable content-type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I don't have a D yet, but I'm planning on one soon.
