[DMCForum] The twin engine Delorean is operational.



Hello everybody.

Some of you have heard of my pet project, the twin engine Delorean, 
which I started in 2001.  It is with satisfaction that I can report 
that the car now runs under its own power.  I finally got the fuel, 
cooling, and electrical system in, and got to the point of turning 
the key last weekend, and after a few headscratchers from unconnected 
and misconnected connectors, it started right up, incredibly, and ran 
nicely.  So far, it only runs on the primary engine, the Honda 
Prelude engine in front.  I'm very impressed by an engine that can 
sit unused for two years, and start right up and run okay.

It was a real thrill to drive it, even if only back and forth in my 
own driveway, as the occasion marks the first time the car has driven 
under its own power since 1994, and the first time I've EVER driven 
it.

Anyway, I'll be moving on to getting it street legal next, and 
writing the code for the rear engine controller this winter.

Here's a link to the site
http://www.gendreaumicro.com/tenpointtwo/11472index.htm
It's the same 14 month old site (I hate webmastering), but I'll be 
sure to update it with the stuff that's happened in the last 14 
months in a week or two.  I apologize for not writing the web update 
first, but I just had to share my enthusiasm.

11472, now with at least one functional engine!
