I have done a ton of work on this car and after every part I > thought, "that was it? Why do people say this car is so hard to work on?" Right. I was pretty big into Fieros before my DeLorean. I owned several of them over a period of a few years, my most recent being a custom engine job with a 3800SC in the back. The Fiero was harder to work on than my DeLorean. Being a mid-engine car there is not much room to work on anything. When I bought the DeLorean I took one look at the engine bay and went, "Wow, look at all that space!" Most people see it as cramped and awkward but after fixing mid-engined Fieros for years, it was a huge improvement for me. Nothing on a DeLorean is any more difficult to work on than any other old sports car, except those pesky doors. -Ryan Yahoo!
