North Carolina Tech Event (Fall 2015)-Saturday October 10th in Lexington NC

[Iznodmad]

It is time once again to announce the tech session for this fall. As stated, the date is Saturday October 10th at my house as usual. Please list your name, if you are bringing anyone else, and if you are bringing a DeLorean. Also, please list if you would like to work on your car and what it may need. I'm down to one DeLorean right now; 888 (sad I know). No worries as the other 2 are getting some spa time at DPI. 888 needs some brake work, but not entirely sure what we could get accomplished on it. The calipers are dragging, especially on the front, so I would probably need to change those out. I haven't ordered any parts for it yet. If anyone attending wants to try and do some brake work, I can order the parts and we can see what we can get done there. Ok, who is coming?

[Mike C.]

I'm in. No car, just myself for now.

I'm happy to do your brake work. Just let me know what tools you have or what I need to bring (i have everything necessary if you are missing anything) including air tools and my compressor.

-Mike

[Kevin]

I may come as alumni. Also not bringing a DeLorean, mine's off to live in Norway, but I may have another interesting car to bring.

[Rad Dad]

It seems that my luck is holding.......your date and mine never really work out for me. This time I will be spending a week in Bar Harbor..Tough duty, but somebody has got to do it. Have a great day.

I should be able to make it, with my car as usual. I'd be happy to help with your brake work also. I'll bring the pump I made for bleeding the brakes, it's a lot easier than the old pedal pump method. Let me know if you need anything else, sounds like between Mike and I you'll be all set.

I need to do my brakes as well as I last rebuilt the calipers over 10 years ago now, but that'll be a bigger project than I want to get into in your driveway.

See you guys then,
Todd

Just a little bump here to make sure anyone that is interested can see this. Regarding the brake work, I have some parts including four calipers, four factory rotors, have wheel bearings in hubs, master cylinder, flexible lines and other assorted worst case components that are ready to be installed. I don't have a whole lot of tools and stuff, just the basics. Please bring anything that you think you may need or want to help accomplish this job, including jack stands and such. If we can knock out the brake work fast enough, I also have early VIN coolant routing that I want to reinstall on the car for originality sake.

I'll be there, and I'll be bringing my car (2628). She's been having some over heating issues and also my doors are hard to close. Any help is greatly appreciated. I haven't owned her long, but I love her! What time should we start arriving? (Sorry guys Newbie here) I'm Jimmy btw!

[Iznodmad]

Great Jimmy! Glad to have you. I think I sent you my address on Facebook. I would suggest coming at about 10:00. Most people arrive by at least noon. We should be able to troubleshoot both your overheating issue and doors, no problem.

[Iznodmad]

I'm also working on a little "surprise" for everyone. Hopefully this will work out.

[Hokie]

I'll be there and I'll be bringing some goodies: I have a Covercraft Heat Shield that I paid about $50 for in April. Custom fitted to the DeLorean. I looking to sell to anyone who wants it for $35. Also, I have a CoverKing custom car cover for DeLorean that I paid about $200 for a couple of years ago. I've never used it, in fact, it's never been out of the box. I'll let this baby go for the insanely low price of $150. Both of these delivered to you at the tech event. See you there! http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10/05/bf192b60a45e5683e1bdd0f6cf5e1747.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10/05/f71db95242214a3c87ca78564c63deea.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10/05/cf0e53b01def7841e3d2088d097514c1.jpg

I'm looking forward to it, and yeah I have your address. I'll leave out a little earlier than that just in case I need to stop and let the car cool off some. But I'll definitely be there. I've been looking forward to it ever since I found out about it! And thanks in advance for at help guys!

I'm interested in that heat shield

[TripleZeroFilms]

I'll likely be stopping by to see you guys as well, albiet sans DeLorean (it will still be down in GA). I look forward to seeing everyone and maybe talking through some of the overheating issues that are still plaguing 781.

Also Darren, surprise? Color me intrigued.

[zer0v3locity]

I hate that I was unable to attend. I swear it feels like I deal more with broke down cars than I do drivable ones. :( I hope everyone had fun and I can't till the next one!

[steve6864]

did this event happen? I remember it was extremely rainy in my part of the state.

[Riley88]

This thread is exciting! I am probably moving to Boone NC here pretty soon, so many owners YAY!

[Iznodmad]

Yes, it happened. The owners still came, but only one owner drove a DeLorean. So, we had a whole two cars present. We did have a Tesla show up though. Still had fun hanging out as usual. My first bust as far as weather is concerned, but that is okay. Hopefully in April of next year I can get back to the usual double digit cars attending.

Hey Riley88! I was just up in Blowing Rock over Thanksgiving. Easy drive down the mountain to attend!
