I live in Manahawkin, NJ ... I don't have a DeLorean...yet. I was interested in meeting some local DMC owners or talking to them on AIM or Yahoo and getting to know more about the car, its idiosyncrasies and how to go about making a wise purchase decision when I go to finally buy one. So far, of particular interest to me about these cars is the reliability issue with the door openers and window openers and the debate over actuators and solenoids....also, the quality of the car's electrical system (I do a lot of electrical work and I wondered how much rebuilding and reinforcing I'll be doing), the engine's weaknesses I wondered about the electrical "strength" of the car. I would like to know if one of the Optima batteries will fit in the car? I know there is a alternator upgrade. Is the ground for the engine and electrical system the x-frame? The other major concern of mine are the door adjustments. I don't want to kill myself in the process, and I'd like to look at some local cars to see what's involved and what to "tweak" for. Thanks for any and all help. For the time being and continued future, I drive a 87 Buick Turbo Regal :) Wonder if I could get a DeLorean to have the power capability to run 12s? ;) ===== Dan G. 87 Turbo Regal http://entremedia.iwarp.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
