    [General] Idle control

    My car is very pissed at me for letting her set a long time and not getting enough time to stretch her legs.
    Now she does like anything below 2000-2500 RPM.
    Replaced the idle air flow valve, no...

    Besides being cute of what good are theses?
    Air flow on this body section is not a lot and scoops will not help here.
    It seems to be sporty but wrong. My WAG is that it would actually slow down the...

    Mike, obvious that you do not drive in my world. Please put a little try on not to be an ass.
    You just simply look silly and it does you no credit.

    Biig motor

    What is the biggest motor stuffed into one of these.
    I've put a 512 inch big block into a Opel GT for a friend.

    At least the DMC has some curves to it and the Lotus also as one of my long loved autos.
    It will appeal to some just as full size Hummers do or did.
    I think it design mistake that will go down in...

    Auto trans vs stick

    I'm sure someone here knows this off the top of their head.
    How many manual trans vs. auto trans Deloreans were made?
    Is there a resale price difference?

    Maybe you are right,.... at one time it was my only car winter and summer so it was never a big deal to me. Just like an Impala or other daily car.

    I've never seen Dexcool plug up anything, it does eat some sealing surfaces and gaskets with age.
    Maybe not the best option but the problems may track back to GM purchasing side and the lowest cost...

    A determined mouse will find it's way into anything.
    No sense inviting them in and making it easy.

    But if you do not rent it out but are simply putting it on display for no profit or income does your insurance cover it?
    Would I need extra insurance to go to a car show in the park?

    I don't understand parts of this.
    Don't you have insurance on your car?
    And you can get some sort of fee to park it somewhere for show?
    This all seems sort of crazy to me. Would you do the same...
