<< Has Rob come up with an estimated price yet on this new gee wiz novalty
yet how much was the remote lock unit, your typical zilla pricing of $200+
. Don't get me wrong these zilla products have proven to be bullet proof
and I'm glad he has made the effort to develope them . When you consider the
cost of the simple componantry inside, relatively inexpensive that is. Its
sometimes hard to justify the high price , of course I know there is more
to it than that. The units are great I just wish the price was more
affordable. I guess I,m just to used to inexpense asian built electronics,
oh well

Most exotic, collector cars and cars in general are costly in maintenance. 
The DeLorean is not too expensive to keep up with in the maintenance or the 
repair. 

Remember the DeLorean was in production for three years. There were many 
problems that haunted the car. Many of these problems has or are being 
resolved by DeLorean owners and connoisseurs like Rob from PJ Grady with his 
production of the ZILLA's products. This is only one of his product line 
that he is manufacturing in resolving the electrical or any other weaknesses 
of the DeLorean motorcar. There are several other people and companies out 
there that is offering services and products that they developed to help the 
DeLorean motorcar and the marque alive. The question is the cost of the 
materials used? You are right. Materials in "this" case, it is cheap. I do 
believed that time in researching, experimenting and developing is a cost 
factor. Their time and "know how" should be compensated for such an 
excellent product. There is also the cost of insurance for "product 
liability" that goes along with the product -- the other hidden cost factor 
too. 

DON'T BE WIRED FOR FIRE, OR LEARN BY BURN!

Their products and know how will help keep the DeLorean motorcars in tip top 
operation and the prevention of other problems that may arise. I believe if 
one can afford it, this is the way to go. This is the price to pay to 
"remedy" these problems of the DeLorean. It is a "small price" to pay for 
the enjoyment. We all enjoy owning the DeLorean motorcar. If we don't, we 
will get rid of it? Get stuck once and the price to pay 
is................................You get the picture? :-( :-( :-(

Let me share one other product that he has in the works. I saw it and I want 
it at the time when I was having the remote installed in my DeLorean three 
weeks ago. It was not available then, maybe it is now. This product is a 
STAINLESS STEEL GEAR ANGLE DRIVE. This is another major weakness of the 
DeLorean. In the last three and a half years I have driven my DeLorean over 
45,000 miles and I have replaced "two" angle drive units in my DeLorean. The 
price to replace another original drive is not the problem. The time and the 
aggravation to get to Rob's place and to get an appointment is the problem. 
I am looking for the opportunity to replace this "other " Archille's Heel in 
the DeLorean. Like his other product's, I know he has engineered and will 
produce a good product so I am looking forward for a replacement unit. Now 
is this the worth the fine tea and china? I think so.

If anyone out there can produce something "cheaper in price" that is worth 
while, please let us know. We too can line your pockets to keep the DeLorean 
motorcar alive and running. :-) :-) :-)
