That's a nice piece of fabrication. You should have a mode where it looks like this video :)

Long time since the last update on this. I was working on the car last summer but had to stop in the autumn due to work committments. Then in December our son was born very premature (26 weeks 0...

If you're linking to crank web sites, you've effectively conceeded the argument. That exact same 'Russians have secret antigravity' story has been doing the rounds on the Internet since at least the...

It is a light aircraft with folding wings. You drive it to an airfield and take off like a normal plane. These things have been around since the 1950s, but they have never been very popular because...

This argument makes no sense. Physics does not care how much money you have. It does not care how much you believe. The aerodynamics of hovering vehicles is fairly well understood and comes down to...

The minimum height for a ballistic airframe parachute to work is 250 feet. This will not help you for any of the most dangerous stages of flight, where you are most likely to lose control, have a...

There are massive control challenges and the power output required for a ducted fan solution is on the order of 2000 HP, continuous: if it ever becomes non-continuous you crash. This is why the...

Electric vehicles still have mechanical brakes. The rate at which you can extract kinetic energy via regenerative or dynamic braking (using the motor as a generator) is fairly limited. Trying to...

I feel that in the mid 80s, if the car had a turbo, it had to make a big deal of it. Dubious spoiler aerodynamics are also period-correct. :)

The integrated rear fog lights are a UK legal...

That was Chris Nicholson at P J Grady Europe; I designed it and he made a custom insert for his fibreglass mould and the stainless spoiler itself. I need to insert and wire up the brake LEDs (they go...

It's not dead but it is on hold because Chris N has been really busy. Usually he has less work in the winter, but he said that this winter has been booked solid with people bringing their new US...

No, Ed Uding only did the twin turbo engine (+ ignition + exhaust + tuning).

Well, the car is finally home and I am slowly making progress on it. I am making up a rear wiring harness at the moment.
...

Sure, I will go for a full set of stainless struts.

Martin G is a good guy. I will try and help with transport if needed.

It is a very sad situation, I hope we can save the cars from being crushed at least. Chris Nicholson and I are looking at coming over from the UK and buying three, maybe we could convince others to...

I am pretty sure Ed Uding at DMC Europe would buy them, he buys a lot of project cars for parts & restoration from the US. However Ed is away at the moment, until at least Monday I think, could be...

200 WHP with a rotary supercharger is possible in theory (at ~15lbs boost?) but that amount of boost will dramatically shorten the life of the stock internals. Also 7th injector based supercharger...

AURYN has been at DeLorean Europe for final tuning for the last five months. Apparently the problem was that the KMS EFI controller had a manufacturing defect; it burned up four sets of coils before...

I decided to use white EL wire to outline the stainless letters, looks better in daytime than flat EL panel.

Well, in theory the resale value of all panels, glass and misc parts is higher than the price, but you'd have to put in all the labour to break it, find buyers and ship everything. So no doesn't...

That frame looks like a write off and the cost to fix the stainless panels will be really high. The interior and fibreglass are not so hard to fix but still a lot of work. It will be a long...

Well, I am up for two sets now as getting my DMC-12 on the road has been delayed and they would also be good for my DeLorean-themed trailer.

Manual, original PRV block but with forged pistons, twin turbos (intercooled).

Sorry to hear that, hope you manage to find another supplier. Is the LED marker lights project still going, I remember you ran into supplier problems there as well?
