Subject: Re: Tires (again, sorry)
I drive the BFG Radial/TA +. I went through the same thing with my sales
person at NTB; he was very knowledgeable, knew DeLoreans and another D owner
in the Clear Lake (Alvin) area, who I've yet to track down. I would like to
speak with her-- if you're here, email me privately. You too, NASMAN.
I think it is a great tire, but I can't compare it to a Yoko for you. I went
straight from the NCT's to the BFG's this December. The BFG's are sooo much
quieter; seem to brake better, and don't have much or any roll in a
tight/fast corner on the freeway cloverleaf (like the NCT's did-- but they
were 20 years old...).
What sold me was the longer wear (I'm a daily driver), and the better aqua
channels.
When he went to order my tires he found there is a RTA and an RTA+
(Enhanced). He gave me the enhanced at the same price; plus a SCCA discount
(though I'm not a member), and told his guys in the back how to take care of
the car, including no pneumatics.

Subject: Re: clutch
[Moderator Note: from daily personal experience, I assure you that a properly maintained DeLorean clutch is very easy to use. Scotty and Tyler must have defective clutches.]
If you are relatively new to driving DeLoreans, welcome to the hard
clutch club! Both the first D I drove and my current D have rather
hard clutches. From reading other posts, I gather that this is a
common thing. I think it is getting easier for me to use the clutch
because my left leg is getting stronger every time I drive it! It is
quite a workout, especially in Boston stop and go traffic. I
recommend putting it into neutral when at stop lights. There is also
a clutch adjustment attachment that you can buy, but I'm not sure if
it helps with the amount of force needed. I think it just adjusts the
height.

Subject: Replacement tranny?
I'm looking for a tranny to replace the stock DeLorean tranny with. I've
finished up the engine swap and the car is running fine EXCEPT for the
transmission. Has anyone swapped out the DeLorean transmission for another
transmission? I know the Fiero has a similar design to the DeLorean and so
does the Corvair (ie being a transaxle unit) Also Porshe but I'm trying to
keep the cost down and I don't believe Porshe has many automatic trannys
available. Has anyone done this?
Here's the prob I'm having with the auto tranny. Its been beefed up to
handle the extra hp of the Vortec 4.3 so its not a strength issue. The car
runs great and shifts normal except under heavy acceleration. If I floor
it, as it gets into the upper RPM range, it starts to slip slightly like it
is going to neutral out. I've changed out the computer governor and its
working fine. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Duke

Subject: Re: oil filters
You don't want your oil filter to have a check valve in the DeLorean.
It causes higher pressures that can ruin your oil pressure sender and
actually shorten the life of your engine.

Subject: Rough idle and hard starting.
I think I've figured out part of the cause of my rough idle. One of the
Honda techs at work said it seemed like my car may be running too rich. The
plugs are quite black, but still look fairly new. Should I try a new oxygen
sensor? After I start the car in the morning it seems like it's got an
excessive amount of idle fluctuation for a while. I've heard this is
normal, but I'm not sure to what extent. Can running too rich ever foul the
plugs?
Thanks for your help guys!

Subject: Re: Tires (again, sorry)
Steve,
Not a direct answer to your question (sorry) but a counter-question.
Which Goodyear T/A's did the tire store recommend? As I read BFGoodrich
site, and as you stated, they don't carry the same tire in both sizes in the
Comp T/A line. Their Comp T/A HR4 comes in the 195/60HR14 needed for the
front, but you would have to go to a 235/60VR15 in their VR4 series for the
rear. From the pictures, they don't appear to have the same tread pattern.
And from the chart, they have different tread wear indexes.
If you go to the Radial T/A line, you can find the correct sizes in the same
tread and rubber compound, but you drop to an "S" speed rating (up to 112
mph), whereas the original NCTs had an "H" speed rating (up to 130 mph). 112
mph doesn't give much of a safety margin. The Yokohama have a "V" speed
rating (up to 149 mph)
The attraction of the Yokohama's is that you will have the same tread and
rubber compound on all 4 corners. True, they are V rated where you only need
H rated tires for a D, but most view that as an extra margin of safety. The
'conventional wisdom' is that if you ever have to take your car to the edge
in a panic maneuver, it would be safer to have the same rubber on all 4
corners. The original Goodyear NCT's had this.
My personal (cynical) opinion is that the profit margin is greater on the
BFG's than the Yoko's.

Subject: door latches
Hello list members,
It's me again with another problem. This time, my passenger side door is
being dumb. I don't think it's closing all the way. I looked at it
closely, and from what I can see, the front lock is latching, but the rear
one is not. The door is just getting wedged closed. I have the door guides
on my driver's side door, but not on the passenger one. I got some off
ebay, but they only fit the driver's side. The passenger door looks like
it's shaped a bit different. The place where the door guide goes toward the
rear of the car seems to be curved less than the driver's side. I checked
and the two doors don't seem to match. Does anyone have any suggestions for
what I can do, or perhaps a different set of guides to order?
Thanks,
Aaron King

Subject: Re: Tires (again, sorry)
I can't offer any Delorean tire comparisons to the brands you
mention, but previous experience on TA's was BAD. Horrible wear, and
a "loose" feel. Sidewall stiffness maybe? Anyway for the D, two
weeks ago I picked up a set of AVS's from TireRack.com for $393.92
total, shipped (fedex 2-day), installed and balanced at my own
installer. It is a night and day difference compared with the Rikens
that I inherited.

Subject: Re: Tires (again, sorry)
I honestly don't know a thing about BF Groodrich tires. I've never
even rode on a car that had them. But I can tell you what I do know
about the Yokos, and maybe that can help you out. The Yokohama AVS
Intermediate's are considered excellent tires in polls for
their handling ability, and their performance. Although they usually
get points taken off by drivers because of their life span. But, it
should be noted that they are usually only used in applications that
are hard on the tires. I.e. drag racing, auto crossing, etc... For the
DeLorean application, this shouldn't be a worry.
Performance wise, the Yoko's are excellent. The warmer they are, the
more sticky they become. It takes alot for them to lose traction. I've
found that in my car, I am able to control quick turns, and sliding
realativly easy with the Yokos. Granted I only have the old NCT's to
compare to. Re-gripping the road is much easier when sliding the rear
end around a corner vs. losing the traction to cause the slide. Even
in summer and winter rains, the Yoko's are amazing.
For any daily driver DeLorean, they are the only tires that I would
reccomend. Which brings me back to the subject of this posting...
Since your car will not be a daily driver, nor will it probably never
see road conditions any harsher then a Sunday drive, you may want to
go with the B.F. Goodrich tires. By the same token as a comparison, my
car is a daily driver with over 10K miles on my Yokohama's, and I have
little tread wear on the tires. But in either case, I'd choose the
best tires for the application: Amount of use, driving habits, and
price.
I beleive that tirerack.com has sections for user comments on all
brands and models of tires on their web site. You may find some
reviews on other sites as well. Others will post as well, but before
you take the advise of the tire shop, and even the DML, your best bet
is to research everything ahead of time.
Hope this helps!

Subject: Re: Fuse box wire colors
I have made similar repairs to a friend's DeLorean. For anyone who uses
this method, I strongly suggest labeling the wires you remove from the fuse
block with numbered pieces of tape that you can buy in the electrician's
section of Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. Label each removed wire with the number
that corresponds to the fuse number on the block. It will help the next guy
working on it considerably. Three spaces in this block were melted beyond
repair. The trick is to clean or replace old fuses, especially the yellow
20 amp ones BEFORE they become a problem. My fuse block has never melted,
but some of the fuses were getting hot. I tried cleaning the lugs, but they
were too corroded from age to clean up property. I ended up replacing them.
All the 20 amp fuses ran cool after that.
For those of you worried about fuse block problems, I suggest replacing your
old fuses with new ones before you have a meltdown. As a diagnostic, before
replacing my fuses I drove around a while with the relay compartment cover
off so that I could reach back occasionally and feel if any fuses were
getting hot. And they were!
Is anyone considering making an original looking upgraded fuse block? So
far the only options I know of is the bypass a la carte method or buying
what John Hervey has on his web site.

Subject: Fuel System..Still
Hello List,
Well I'm still trying to get my fuel system repaired and working.
All three of the injectors on the rider side are free flowing, lots of gas. Each will fill a quart jar in just over one minute.
So, three new injectors from DMC Houston! Look good but same problem on all three. This can not be a bad injectors, one maybe, 2 would be a real push but all three bad, doing the same thing as the old ones, not likely.
What goes on inside the fuel distributor?
Why all three on one side and the ones on the other side seem to work correctly. The three on the driver side will inject but I have to depress the air intake to get them to mist very much at all.
Pressure on the system is book perfect, System is clean and mostly new from the tank back. In tank filter is new, line filter is new, car was running , not great but ok, then just started pushing gas out the tail pipe. Can't even try to start it with these injectors pushing gas like this. I have replaced the oil and filter to get the gas out of the oil pan and I have the injectors in glass jars to keep them from filling the pan again.
I replaced the O2 sensor in fear that the gas would have eat it up to.
Something is really strange on those three injector lines.
Anyone have any suggestions, short of a $900.00 replacement of the fuel distributor?
Jerry

Subject: RE: door dings caused by window regulator
I have not seen any dents like you are describing on any of the Deloreans
that I have looked at. I am still using the original regulators that have
been updated with my $5.00 fix. (2 years and still going strong) I have been
inside the doors of a few Deloreans and I have never come across one that
showed any signs that the regulator was making contacted with the door. And
just another thought, the new regulators mount the same as the originals. I
am really at a loss how you are getting that dent in that location. The
glass window, keeps the regulator secure at the top and the motor is bolted
to the bottom of the door. There is only the cable housing and the
cable,(that runs inside the housing)that is located at the center of the

Subject: my first real drive (not without its problems)
This evening was my first opportunity to get the D out and drive it
around.
Never having driven a DeLorean before this one, I have no frame of
reference. Still, it's probably not normal for the car to feel like
it's going to shake apart if you go over 40. My girlfriend compared
the overall feeling to being in one of those vibrating massage
chairs, although they can't hold a candle to my DeLorean. The
vibration was *very* strong (my headlight beams were wiggling like
crazy), its frequency increased with our speed, and it sounded
remarkably like a helicopter.
Aside from this, the car made it about 10 miles from home without
major incident. It was after I turned around and started heading
back home that the engine decided to die four times:
1) Drove 40MPH for several hundred feet, came to complete stop at
stop sign, turned left and started to accelerate, car began to
sputter and buck. Letting up on the accelerator or pressing it
further didn't seem to have an effect, eventually engine died. Car
started up again and ran fine.
2) Slowed from 40MPH to 25MPH or so to take a left-hand curve, upon
leaving curve car did same thing as before (sputter, buck, die).
Again, started up like normal and ran fine.
3) Slowed from 40MPH while approaching stop sign. By the time the
car had come to a complete stop, the engine was dead. No sputtering
this time...just a quick, silent death. Started up again and ran
fine.
4) Slowed from 25MPH and turned left onto the road I live on.
Accelerating out of the turn caused the same old sputtering and
bucking, and the engine died. Had just enough momentum built up to
coast into my driveway.
Some more info, in case it helps:
* car is an 81, automatic, few (if any) updates, 5K miles
* Never has a problem starting (even after stalling).
* No noticeable emissions from the tailpipes, although it does smell
strongly of fuel.
* No problems at idle, and "hunts" normally when cold.
* Something's buzzing like a mad hornet (I'm presuming it's the
frequency valve).
* All gauges work to the best of my knowledge, and none read anything
unusual at any point tonight.
The last time I felt a car turn into a bucking bronco on me, it was a
problem with the auto tranny not downshifting properly on
deceleration. The conditions are different with the D, but the end
result sure feels the same. I initially though I might have gunk in
the fuel line and it's starving the engine...but wouldn't that cause
it to simply stall and die instead of jerking around?
Any help you can give this newbie would be greatly appreciated!

Mike,
What you need to remove is the binnacle. It is the part of the dash
that
encloses the instrument cluster.
There are about 8 or so small (I think 7mm) bolts that you need to
remove
near the steering column. The binnacle will then lift out and you can
disconnect the
two wire connectors and the speedo cable.

I'm hoping for a few suggestions for something that happened over the weekend.
My wife and I were on our way to a local event on Sunday morning when
suddenly the tachometer needle started jumping, then settle in about 1200
RPM too high. It continued to occasionally jump, then either go back to
normal, or back up to the same 1200 high a number of times as we drove.
Around the same time, but NOT at exactly the same time, the voltmeter
needle jumped a little bit. Unlike the tach it stayed at the correct level
most of the time, then would suddenly swing wildly over a 6 or 7 volt range
for a moment.

If your DeLorean is still equipped with the factory installed clutch slave cylinder, replacing it with the updated replacement should make your clutch operation less strenuous.

Subject: Tire balancing
What is the difference between "On car balacing" and "off car
balancing" besides the obvious. I know the D needs to be balanced on
the car, but what happens if it is not? Will the tires wear out
faster?
Thanks

Subject: Re: fuel problem update
I am going to take a wild guess here and say during a previous repair
someone changed the return line circuit! There should be 3 lines to
the accumulater but none should "loop back". One line should return to
the tank with a tee picking up the return line from the fuel
distributer. Please check out the routing of ALL of the hoses for
correctness. The accumulater doesn't care about the return line unless
it is ruptured but the fuel pressure regulater can't funtion correctly
without a return to the tank. I would have thought by now you would
have had your hands on this area way before this! In making the most
recent repair the mechanic may have rerouted the fuel lines.
