DMUK site a success.

["Stephen Strelczak" <STEPHEN.STRELCZAK@xxxx>]

This is great stuff Martin, and I'm proud to have been one of your first
major clients. The headlights are working well on PSO now, and the
underbody has never looked better after my painting session on Sunday.
Now I'm just itching to epoxy and paint every last piece of the
underbody until I'm left with a spotless, grey and black, shiny finish.
Mmmm. Red hammerite anyone?

A friend of mind took a ride in the car to a country club last night.
The last time he'd been in the car for a drive was well over a year ago.
I warned him that she was a hell of a lot more powerful now, but he just
replied "yeh yeh" and told me he wasn't expecting much. 20 mins and 23
hard bends at speeds approaching 65mph, along with some fairly exciting
85mph dashes down curving country roads, and he was convinced. I can't
repeat the words that first came from Brents mouth, but they rhymed with
"Clucking Bell". Job well done. Sadly I can't quite stretch to a new
free-flow exhaust for the moment, or even refurb my wheels. But when a
car is this much fun to drive, who cares. Next summer sees phases 3 of
PSOs work, free-flow, refurb wheels, total grey leather interior with
dark grey carpets and new shocks all round. She is already a superb
right-hander, but she's fast becoming legendary.

Have a look at the DMUK site, it includes many of the parts used on
PSO's recent work, and gives a very good idea of Martin and Daves
abilities with every aspect of the Delorean. Keep up the excellent work
and thanks for the excellent Sunday in Stevenage.

Kind regards to all,

Stephen.

PS. Hope you enjoyed the bottle of wine.

The Alpine turbo engine will exert more torque on the chassis than the 
design specs say it can handle, but strengthening the chassis is just a 
bit of welding. The engine mounts and bellhousing are identical to the 
A610 so the engine would drop strait in. The only remaining issue is the

pipework for the exhaust and plumbing in an intercooler effectively. 
There is no DeLorean with one of these engines as yet, but as Dave and I

have just acquired one of these engines, it's only a matter of time.

would cost? And because you are getting 400bhp what else has to be done,
if there is anything else? Such as the chassis, does it have to be
strengened? I remember Martin telling me how the chassis was weak.
