2005/2006 time frame, so 13-14 years. Started at ~43,400 miles and only put about 2,500 miles on her since buying her. It's been a long, steady but rewarding replacement, refurbishment, and...

I did happen to notice a blue light emanating from within the car. In my efforts to come up alongside, I was able to tell its driver was grinning like a devil and it looked like he was sporting a...

Was on my way home today when I was passed by a DeLorean. It was around 6:30PM today heading west on the D.C. Beltway (I-495), just past the I-95 exit. We traveled the same path up I-270 until I hit...

Hi Ron,

I did purchase the DeLoreanGo stock shocks. Unfortunately, I have not yet had the opportunity to install them. After rebuilding the front suspension (during which I used the original...

I'm fairly certain the headliner fabric I pulled off my center board is original ('81 black interior automatic). Based on the amount of foam that was left, it appears to be a 1/8" foam backing.

Hi BABIS,

I took some measurements on the courtesy light hole. Here's the updated pic:

Several things to point out. The courtesy light retaining plate hole is 3-5/16" by 1-1/8", so if...

Hi BABIS,

Took some measurements of my headliner backing boards tonight. I've created some marked-up pics to demonstrate the measurements, but please read this whole post because there are some...

I've actually got my original headliner backer boards (the pressed cardboard stuff) out for headliner recovery at the moment. If no one replies beforehand, I can measure distances later tonight from...

Thanks for all the suggestions! I'll grab one of the wire brackets and also check for tire/sway bar interference and let everyone know what I find.

Hi Jonathan,

The little plastic clip is what I currently have. That was the setup with the longer lower speedometer cable when I bought 2234. 2234 was mostly stock when I got it, and it had a lot...

Hi David,

I went looking around on the DMCH site. Just want to confirm, is this the bracket you're referring to?

Thanks!

Can anyone with the short lower speedometer cable show me their setup? Mine appears to be rubbing against the tire.

When I bought 2234, it still had the longer lower speedometer cable. The...

I noticed the wheel starting to pull to one side when breaking not too long ago. Taking a look at the front calipers, I could tell one of the pistons one sticking. Also noticed the dust boots on the...

I'll throw another data point into the mix. I just swapped out my original upper control arms for a set of new old-stock arms from DMCH. My old upper arms have the asymmetric interior metal tabs,...

Hmmm... well I would have liked to have heard from someone on the forum who has had these installed, but it looks like I may have to be the one to test them out :)



Since these are essentially...

I recently did some work on my front suspension, and I've concluded it's time to get some new front shocks (currently riding on the original Girlings, and they're not fairing too well).

Does...

If you get a chance, take a couple of pics! I always like seeing shots of the original and repaired boards ever since I was in there on 2234. :)

So not too long ago, I decided that, since I've gotten most of the mechanical and electrical demons squared away, it was high time I turned my attention towards some more preventative maintenance...

Sorry, my bad. I was under the impression they were the same ball joint since they look so alike. Good to know there's a difference!

For what it's worth, the ball joints I ordered and installed in...

Chris, when you say "UK" ball joints, are you referring to the ones that deloreanclub.uk and delorean.eu sell, like these?

If so, I bought a set of these alongside my Byrnne LCAs and they fit in...

Out of curiosity, when were you in this store/when did this conversation take place?

Any pics so we can see how well they fit?

I'm not sure if mine is the same part #, but I have a Snap On socket that looks just like PMM408A that I use, and I use a regular socket wrench with it when changing my oil. However, I've never tried...

I don't have much to offer beyond what has already been stated, but I do want to emphasize what DTOUR said. The kind of help at your disposal through this forum and the community in general is...

Dave, my memory is really fuzzy on this since I did my conversion/upgrade almost 9 years ago now, but 2234 used to have the "early VIN" setup where there was no sight glass or high pressure cutoff...
