So it sounds as though these struts *should* be opening the door hard enough to where they might 'bounce' at the top?

No the squeak is coming directly from the shaft of the new strut I put in. I haven't even replaced the passenger side because I feel the 30 year old one opens the door better.
This new one opens the...
Looking to see if anyone has any opinions on the door struts.....
My door struts were (presumably) original and were so weak that they would not even go up in the winter time. In the summer time...
I recently finally got my car running enough(still lacks power but finally holds idle) to test drive on the road and am starting to go through everything to make it road worthy.
The vehicle sat for...
Thanks for the information, I did end up receiving it and I did not know about the injury... I hope everything is well
Hey just a quick question:
Was wondering if anyone has any experience ordering from DeLorean Performance?
I ordered a reman Fuel Distributor a couple weeks ago and it still is 'awaiting...
Thank You everybody for the suggestions.
I of course want a set that includes all the fuel lines (DMCH doesn't appear offer that) so that leaves me with DPI or SpecialT.
I guess I'll have to...
I looked into DPI and they say their lines are 100% new and sound to be better quality than SpecialT, based on the fact they don't want your old ones as core.
I'm going to check my injectors too....
I am finally going to open up my wallet and purchase new engine fuel lines, control pressure regulator, accumulator, and possibly injectors. I have already replaced the fuel pump with DMC's modern...
Soon I will be tackling the task of changing my old clutch hydraulic line to the updated stainless one.
I like to read through the factory procedure to get an idea before I start on something but...
Yes when it comes to gasoline and electricity I would rather play it safe.
My tube also had green pitting on it, plus the fact it snapped in half, so I figured $30 is worth the peace of mind
Sorry for a late response...
But to offer some conclusion I had an order of parts going already with DMC Texas so I just added a new one. Only another $30...
Hello,
Figured I'd add my post here. I'm a more recent owner this year here in Thomaston CT. My DeLorean was what I guess you could call a "barn find" from the next town over, so she's...
I found that, but it looks like someone wanted to trade him $50 worth in parts for that distributor and he didn't think that was fair. I messaged him but he never got back to me unfortunately.
Just a quick question regarding the Fuel static wire in the fuel tank,
I have finally got around to cleaning out the old gas and solids out of my fuel tank, but I ran into a...
Hello everyone, sorry for coming back to this so late, I thought nobody was responding to my thread anymore but I just realized there was a page 2!! (I feel like a dummy now lol) I will get some...
What are your thoughts on mineral spirits; the same thing? thanks
I couldn't find it, did you happen to have a link? thanks
I've been apprehensive about using solvent like acetone or mineral spirits because I read both ways; they could eat at rubber or not..... are there any rubber components or seals inside the unit...
Hello,
I'm hoping I could find a reasonably priced fuel distributor on the forum here. I'm trying to re-awaken 10268 after the previous owner parked it for too long with fuel in it,...
Alright I traced the wires coming off this mystery relay:
(Terminal numbers are in the picture of the relay)
The black wire off terminal #85 goes to ground.
The white wire off terminal #86 went...
As yes absolutely! I am an electrician by trade so messy wiring is a big pet peeve of mine lol. I am in the process of assembling a parts order (including the updated fuel pump setup and manuals) but...
No sorry I didn't even think of that when I made my name! lol but Thanks! my VIN is 10268
Hello,
I have recently acquired a beautiful 1982 DeLorean with about 16k on it. Unfortunately the previous owner let it sit too long so it needs fuel system work including a new pump...
