Re: DMC "Wishlist" for Christmas

["Jim Reeve" <ultra@xxxx>]

I'm way ahead of you Stian!

A year ago I asked the list about the interest level in making a 
back-lit illuminated instument cluster. I had enough support, so I 
began working on it. Then summer came and I had to put my own cluster 
back in my car. Now that winter is upon MN again, its back off and 
I'm continuing the work. I dont have a specific timeframe when it 
will be completed, but I do hope to have a working prototype at least 
with me in Memphis. I am currently working with a few other list 
members to produce this and hopefully sell it through one of the 
vendors.

And DMC Houston is already ahead of you with an electronic 
speedometer. I saw a prototype they had in thier showroom during the 
open house this summer. I put a picture of it in the FILES secion a 
while ago. Should still be there (named speedometer.jpg). James said 
it wouldn't be ready for about another year however.

And about your idea for a temperature display, I, again, am way ahead 
of you. Only this is somthing I'm doing just for my own car. Others 
could follow pursuit if they wish (I wont mind). I pulled a 
compass/temp display out of a Chevy Blazer. Due to the size of the 
unit, I cannot simply slap it onto the headliner. Therefore I am 
SIGNIFICANTLY and UNREVERSABLY modifying my front-center headliner 
core to accomodate the cut up temp. display unit. I also hope to 
incorperate a few other items into this custom overhead console. If 
people are interested I could write up plans on how to do this when I 
am done with the modification.

And yes, PJ Grady is working on door launchers with the Zilla line of 
products, but I have no actualy knowledge about this unit. Otherwise 
Darryl Tinnerstet (www.delorean-parts.com) already has a system made 
up.

I personally wouldn't want ABS or Power Steering (nor the astronomical 
cost) but I'm sure there are quite a few people that do. Many of 
those other items do seem quite interesting though. (I would love some 
DeLorean sunglasses!)

My personall addition to the wishlist, professionally engineered LED 
tail and marker lights.

Make a Poll Stian!
