Subject: Re: Gauge problems
If you look at the wiring diaghram all of the things that are having a
problem have the #12 connection to ground in common. Reseat the
connecters paying particular attention to the ground connections. You
could also clean the ground connection alongside the left front wheel
on the frame as well "just to be sure!" Since you didn't have these
troubles before you went into the dash you could assume you had
something to do with it ie: you knocked something loose or made a bad
connection. When I am deep inside something, like the dash, before I
close it up I try to test it. Murphie's law: The more fasteners there
are to close up the more likely something will go wrong after you do!
I don't think this is due to a bad battery but if you suspect it is
bad get it tested and or replaced.

Group, If you would like to see the new products for the gas tank.
Filter screens, gas pick up lines, return lines, go to the web site

Subject: Need For Speed Video Game
I was in the middle of my weekly "D" parts search and accidentally stumbled onto a "Need For Speed" video game site. If anyone is interested, I found they have added the DMC-12 to the list of available cars you can download for use in the game. You can see and download it as a zip file at:
http://www.inetria.com/nfc/ftp/file.cgi?file=nfs4/cars/DMCDelorean.zip
I'm not a big video game player, but I thought it was mildly cool...

Subject: Owners in Michigan
hi,
I was driving today (not in the D) and saw a Delorean in west
michigan driving down 84th street in Lowell/Grand Rapids (i was in
the white jeep that honked at you). I was wondering if you were on
the list.
Also, any list members in Michigan that want to get together with the
D's somewhere in Grand Rapids please drop me a line. The only other
Delorean owner on the list who regularly drove his Delorean with me
moved to Auston, Texas....you know who you are.....
take care,
Erik

p.s
I went to a car show today on accident, kind of. I wanted to drive
through all the cars that were there just to see what was on display
(i took the Delorean) immediatly everyone crowded around the car, so
much for driving though. The doors went up, the jaws went down. 20
min later I was able to get back in and drive away, late for the
appointment I had somewhere else, but well worth it.

Subject: Someone at PNDC tech session...
I apologise for using the list like this, but I can't remember anyone's name
to save my life. I'm looking for the person who was at the latest PNDC tech
session at FAME Auto. He had his D equipped with what looked like a cold
air intake. The airbox was removed, and in its place was a metal pipe
attached to a cone shaped air filter element (possibly K&N). If you are on
the list (or if anyone else has done this to their car, please contact me
privately. (looreff@xxxxxxxxxxx)

This XENON-thread has come up many times before,
take a look in the archives for more detailed info...
The outer lights are 55/60W, with 60W being high beams,
the inner lights are single filament at 55W
only coming on with high beams.

I think your confusing Xenon with E-type headlights:
in Europe Sealed beams are illegal, so on european cars
the lights are replaced with new housings wich take a
replacable bulb, fot the outer lights you'd need "H4"
for the inner "H3" or "H1" depending on which housings
you (get) install(ed).
When switching over to these kind of lights,
make sure you cross over the wires for high and low beams
in the connectors. If you don't, you'll get really weird
symptoms on your dash-lights and inner lamps...
Xenon-lights are very expensive (like over $1000,-)
They don't work with a filament, but a controlled arc
between two electrodes. To get enough power you'd need
a transformer to get to a couple of 1000 volts.
Also, because of the enormous amount of light they
produce a leveling-system is mandatory in most places
because without it you would be blinding traffic in
opposite direction continuosly...
The Mercedes E-type cars were the firts production cars
to have this Xenon-light-system.

By my own (European) experience, you can convert to the
E-type lights for around $100,-, but you'd have to check
if it's legal to do so where you live.
Good Luck,

Cyril,
You have missed the dealine, but since you are driving all the way from
France I will allow two places for the museum and factory tour. You can pay
when you arrive in Belfast. The museum tour leaves the Europa Hotel at 9am
on Friday 25th May.
Also, what is the name for the other person?? Please let me know as soon as
possible so that your passes can be manufactured.
Best wishes,

Subject: Whistle sound/squeal?
Just got back home from a 2hr. trip to a carshow here in Norway.
Everything went smooth of course, great show, great weather and great
driving! B
ut on the return trip home I noticed a very low-frequent whistle
sound/squeal coming from around the steering wheel area. Now, the sound did
not appear over and over again, only a few times, I think also it appeared
when taking on curves (left/right).
Now, what can this sound be? It was not like a "bad" sound if you know what
I mean, just a bit annoying. Like something needed a squirt of oil or
something. And the sound came definitely from inside the car.
Please help!
Best wishes

Just been to the DMCNEWS page. I can see that only 8 person have submitted
their photo to the Who's who in Belfast...
I encourage everyone who is coming to Eurofest to send in their photo to
Dave. That way we can recognize each other...but maybe you aren't interested
in that or? :-)
Come on, show your face!

This is the registration form for those DMC owners interested in the
Bowie British Car day.
You can view pictures at;
http://hometown.aol.com/britishcarday/myhomepage/register.html
The show information is also available at the DeLorean Owners Association
web site;
http://www.delorean-owners.org/
The Tucker car collection is on a tentative schedule. Would those owners
participating rather have the day before to tour the collection or tour the
collection after the show?
Please email me with your preference.

Subject: Re: Fitting tires in the car?
Based on my experience yesterday, I'd say "no". I drove with two rear
tires side-by-side in the passenger seat (vertically, the door would
not close with the tires horizontal). If you are short you can get
one more behind the drivers seat on the package shelf horzontally,
but the seatback will be at a very "tall" angle. And you better not
have long legs.
Either make two trips to the tire mounting place, or put the car on
jackstands take the wheels and tires off and put all of them in a
minivan or pickup. (That's what I did in similar circumstances). Nice
thing about this is that you don't have to leave your car with
persons of dubious integrity.
