Maybe you should sell your Delorean if you do not like it. Give it a good home. Not a home where it is not loved. JZD DID have a vision. and I think he did a good job in creating that vision. I don't know anything about Bricklins execpt that I heard they leak so I wont get into that. Please don't post such critisizing messages about a car that the majority love and have had a longing for for years. that is very rude. I would never consider saying something bad about someone elses dream. true, the delorean has it's flaws and thats why this list is here. when was the last time someone posted a message saying "well, my car still runs perfectly...just wanted to let everyone know" the list is here for mechanical advise not bashing the Delorean. thanks Erik Geerdink VERY Proud owner of 4512 ------------------------------ message 3254 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/dmcnews/?start=3254 X-Mailing-List: dmcnews@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/dmcnews/ Date: Mon, 20 Sep 1999 08:18:29 -0700 From: delorean502@excite.com In-Reply-To: <199909201355.HAA09086@cmn.net> Subject: [DML] stains on fender Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Here in Michigan the front license plate is not required.

Braided SS lines can be very abrasive. - Use a plastic or rubber liner over the SS line as prevention. - If I recall, the original instructions called for drilling holes to hold the plastic zip strips to the frame. Don't unless you adequately reseal to prevent rust. There are plenty of things to attach the line to without drilling holes.

It turns out that my drivers side door does not latch down at all! Perhaps the DML needs a primer to help people get prompt, useful responses to their questions. In Iznodmad's case, the primer should have warned him to mention the condition of his door guides. My experience is that the DeLorean door design works very well, provided the doors have door guides. If the doors have no guides, or the guides were added after years of use without them, then all sorts of nasty things could have happened to your latches. You may need new ones. I thought that by the time VIN 5000 came along door guides were standard factory equipment, but I could be wrong. Regardless, anyone having trouble with their door latch mechanism will get a quicker answer if they mention their door guides (or lack thereof) in their post. If you don't even know what door guides are, go to the dmcnews.com website and search the back issues. It's a lot faster than asking online, and it's guaranteed to give you an answer. - Mike Substelny ------------------------------ message 3261 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/dmcnews/?start=3261 X-Mailing-List: dmcnews@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/dmcnews/ From: "Murray Fisher" Date: Mon, 20 Sep 1999 11:55:32 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: [DML] License Plates Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0020_01BF035F.0ACF56C0" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit ------=_NextPart_000_0020_01BF035F.0ACF56C0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable When I purchased my car, from the original owner, I noticed an extra licens= e plate sitting on the floor.

However, the factor carried out firther "euro" conversions such as the rear tail light cluster and indicators - which stand flush with the front bumper. As I said previously, the factory conversions all had black interiors with the one exception - they were all manuals as well, FYI except one, owned by Chris Parnham. Rhere are a few after-market conversions, done to vaeying degrees of success, and a number of these live in Australia where it is illegal to drive a LHD car, unlike here in the UK.

Joe since on your site you suggest that turbo's can be fitted, could you give me the low down on cost fitted? Is there a great deal of power difference between the single and twin-turbo versions? At what RPM does the turbo(s) kick in? Over-heating a problem? What is the total Horsepower increase? MPG before and after fitting to a 5-speed? Are superchargers a possibility as no Lag?

How many of you owners out there on the list do NOT keep your car reguarly garaged? Do you feel safe leaving your car out on the street? After all the car usually draws admiring glances. I remember one owner had his D stolen from his DMC emblem on the grill. I reckon that was probably sliced off with a kraft knife or something as nothing else was reported broken or missing... I suppose a few bits of trim may be taken but luckily the Delorean is pretty solid and whole and lacks ornatmental gubbins that are stuck on just for show.... The reason I ask this is that it will take longer to buy a DMC if I have to find a home with a garage first. Christopher M.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi- I have been trouble shooting my newly purchased '81 DeLorean for the past few days, and happily, I have very few troubles to shoot. The most noticeable problem I have encountered thus far is the door lock on the passenger side. I noticed a 'stiffness' to the locking mechanisms when I purchased the car, but this did not seem too extraordinary for an 18 year old vehicle. I applied WD 40 to the 4 locking mechanisms I could get to (front and back latches of each door), which helped with the overall stiffness, but the front latch on the passenger side works only sporadically. I can never tell when the lock is actually going to catch (the Lock Doors light has been helpful here) but more often than not, the door won't unlock. Does this sound like a mechanical problem, or an electrical one? I believe the alignment of the doors is very good, if not perfect, but what's the best way to tell if this is what is interfering with the lock? Is a broken door lock something that is fairly easily fixed or replaced? If anyone has had a similar problem and has solved it, please drop me a line.

Acetone will etch, melt or destroy the paint finish and the plastic surfaces. Be careful when you use acetone! It is not good for plastic and painted surface. It is good for bare metal and other resistive surfaces. Check before using on surfaces.

If you were the seller of the poster, fear not -- there are still millions of DeLorean fans out there who don't know that the poster is still being sold. Besides, anyone who takes the trouble to search for the word "poster" in the DML archives will discover that this particular poster has been mentioned several times in the past.

First, check your tire pressures. Next, check your front end alignment. While having the alignment checked, inspect the ball joints and steering rack and ends for excessive play. Then check the u-joints in the steering column for excessive play. Any one or a combination of these could cause wandering at speed. Michael A.
