When I drove to Eurofest, I took the road to Liverpool for a much needed torsion bar adjustment and also lowering of the car. The work was performedby Paul Windsor at Wingray Autos. It was a pleasure to be there, we were takengood care of by James Espey who was there at the time, and of course Paul also. The DeLorean was in his shop for 2 days. If you have been considering the update from DMC Houston, namely the lowering springs (I think Chris Parnham sells them too) + the new shock absorbers, Ican tell you that this mod make the DeLorean a complete new and different car! It feels more secure and modern! In other words, this is the way the DeLorean should have been built in the first place. A neat addtion also, is the look of the car. Some of you attending Eurofest might have noticed some DeLoreans were just too much lowered. Withthe setup the DeLorean is lowered on all 4 wheels, it looks good, and the shocks really make a difference. Previous I was able to place two fists between the front tyre and the fender, which tells you something about how high the DeLorean is in the front and what handling this setup leads to. Now, when driving over a speedbump or "sleeping policeman" with the new setup, it does not sound like the engine fell off (you know the sound I'm sure). Also, at high speeds, the shaking and rattling like a plane trying unsuccessfully to take off is gone! The performance is great, and my next long-term project will be the engine upgrade. Mike Loasby drove my car 3 times around the test track, (once with me as passenger, and the other two with Alan Hayward as passenger). He was impressed with the new springs and shocks and the car's nice handling. Once again, thanks to every member of the DOC UK who helped out making the event possible. Thanks to Mark for letting me drive many laps around the test track, thanks to Chris P. for the "Mr. Sheen" bottle!, and thanks to Robert Lamrock who organized an excellent event. Looking forward to the next one! Best wishes Norway VIN # 06759 |
