Subject: RE: Cooper GT Tires
I only can tell you that when I wanted to buy those tires, somebody advised
me not to do so for a DeLorean. They're great tires for American cars like
buicks and such, but not for a D. Don't ask me why, but that guy had bad
experiences with the road handling with those tires on.
Rob.

Subject: problems solved with the 5386 Restoration site.
Hello Everyone,
I'd like to apoligize, apprently yahoo geocities was locking people
out due to band with on my site. so I moved the entire site off of
there to a new location and did a little revamping. I found out 2 of
the pages were not linked to the pics pages. If anyone finds a dead
link or some type of error please by all means write me and let me
know of it so I can correct it as fast as possible. Also the link
wasn't actually linked last time so here is the link again. Hope I got
it right this time :D
http://www.khpindustries.com/stainlessrestorations.html
Please enjoy the site. I love working on my car and shareing my dream
with other people.

Subject: ignition keys cut to code
Hey all-
I've set up an auction for a service that I will eventually make available
to all-- new keys cut to your lock code.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1854167736&ssP
ageName=ADME:B:LC:MT:1
(#1854167736)
They're just simple blanks-- kind of a small head, not the replica rubber
heads from Houston or anything-- though I can do those too, on request.
I'm kind of using the auction as to a guide as to price this service for
y'all. I'll run a couple and see what kind of problems I run in to before
open it up and say "bring it on". The problems I'm expecting-- are changed
locks (or doors), locks too worn to work on original key depths, and that 1%
of the population that is out to swindle everyone.
I am locksmith in a former livelihood; I mainly decided to get back into
this because I did not see that anyone was offering this service to our
community and I myself needed a new (original depth) key.
Respond privately; or publicly if it enriches the group[(s) :-( ]
Thanks!
-Kevin

Subject: Flashing sidelights (and other mods)
Distributor cap is still trapping water, but the great side & tail
light mods are complete:
I highly recommend wiring sidelights into flasher circuits.
Indications during lane changes etc totally unmistakable. I wired both
amber and red lenses for symmetry. Front harness is very accessible if
you remove headlight buckets.
Swapped positions 3 and 2 & 4 between brake and tail lights. Again,
difference is startling (tail light illumination increased 100%). Went
to some trouble to double positions 2 & 4 as brake lights too, then
decided combo looked stupid (reflective position 3 is too different
from its neighbors). Will live off single brake lights until ordered
third brake light arrives. Type 89 bulbs in positions 2 & 4 do not
seem to produce enough heat to damage the housing.
I think the reason headlight dash switches are melting is full side
and tail light amperage passes through. Having resurrected mine, I
inserted a relay into the circuit to prevent future meltdown. Also
separated from fuse 8 (2 and 8 are now mirrors of one another -- much
more logical). This was a prime time to move A/C panel illumination
from the ignition circuit, BTW.
Now, does anybody have any idea how long it will take to extricate the
electrical distributor...

Subject: Plans for the 25th Aniversery of DeLorean
Offically, the DeLorean will be an antique in the year 2006. I
recently wrote about building a totaly new car out of parts. What
would be a better way to honor the man who created the best
automobile ever?
Lamborgini loved the Countauge so much they built a 25th aniversery
edition. However, building more than one such car would depleat the
already scarce part storehouse we have preserved to keep our cars
going with. If this project does indeed get off the ground, I have
picked an appropriate vin (at least I think so). The new car would
be 50501. However, the only thing better than building a new car is
to see John honnored for his truely amazing accomplishment.

Subject: DeLorean Renting
Hello all,
I've been approached by an ad firm that wants to use my DeLorean as the actual BTTF DeLorean to promote the release of the BTTF Trilogy on DVD.
So - for all of those who have "been there, done that"...
How much money did you get for renting out your DeLorean? What can be expected?
The way I see it, it has to be "worth it". Sure, I can rent my DeLorean for free, but since this is backed by Universal and they want the car, I'm sure they have some money to spend on the promotion.
They plan to rent it for 1 1/2 month!!! And they will trailer it across Norway.
No problems with the insurance, but what other things should I be considering?
Best wishes :)

Subject: Time Machine Journal
Just a quick note to everyone that wants to follow my progress as I convert
my car in time for the 2002 EuroFest at the BMW Manufacturing plant in
Greer, SC. I am going to discuss every step in gruesome detail so you can
follow along.
This conversion will be:
1) inexpensive.
2) non-permanent, easily removed and stored.
3) incomplete (meaning I will leave some details off).
4) my own interpretation.
5) interesting to say the least.
So far I have done a small flux capacitor (made out of LEDs) and I'm about
3/4 through my Mr. Fusion (made out of PVC pipe and a Diaper Genie).
Make sure you check back every week to see if I've lost a finger!

Subject: Wiper control module service procedure (also hazard flasher and buzzer box)
Notice: This message contains informative content based on first-hand experience rather than speculation and conjecture.
I had occasion to remove my wiper control module the other day (after
150K miles in Oregon rain, the relay contacts were finally too
carbonized to make good electrical contact). The service manual
instructions for this procedure reads something like "remove 2 screws
securing module." Although the service manual is correct that the
module is secured with 2 screws, the instructions trivialize the
procedure and are wholly unhelpful if you actually find you need to
remove the module.
After having removed my module, I thought I would share the simplest
procedure for doing so. This procedure applies to the winshield wiper
control module, the hazard flasher unit, and the buzzer box which are
all mounted to the same sub-panel. The panel is mounted above the
steering column under the dash on the driver's side.
Step 0 (optional): If you have a large frame and find the driver's
footwell to be a tight squeeze, remove the driver's seat. I'm small-
framed (although reasonably tall) and found no reason to remove the
seat, but for someone that is large framed, removal of the seat gives
you a lot more maneuvering room.
Step 1: Remove the rubber gasket from around the dashboard air duct
that mates with the door duct when the door is closed.
Step 2: Remove the plastic air duct trim piece and retainer that the
rubber gasket was attached to. Over the years the plastic has become
brittle, so removal of the plastic piece must be done with care.
There are 2 tabs on the plastic piece that must released slightly in
order to allow the piece to be removed.
Step 3: Remove the round duct that was attached to the plastic
retainer and trim piece. With the trim piece removed there is
sufficient play to allow removal of the round duct.
Step 4: Working underneath the dash, locate the plastic duct that
connects from the central console area to the round duct just
removed. The plastic duct is held in place with a U bracket that is
secured with two screws. Remove the two screws and the U bracket.
Step 5: Working underneath the dash, release the plastic duct from
the console side and remove the plastic duct by threading it out
towards the driver's side of the footwell.
Step 6: Working underneath the dash, the subpanel is now accessible.
The subpanel is located above the steering column and is accessible
from the driver's side. The subpanel is snapped in place using clips
and the entire panel can be removed by pulling it loose. There is
sufficient slack in the wiring harness that the panel can be pulled
free and brought down into the footwell.
Step 7: With the panel hanging in the footwell, the wiring harness
connectors can be removed and the entire panel freed.
Step 8: NOW you can remove the wiper control module by unscrewing the
two screws that secure it to the subpanel (as indicated in the
service manual).
I hope someone might find this helpful.
Knut
