misprint - ah, I wasn't aware. Okay. So, I guess I'll have my timing checked if the knock/ping worsens.
higher octane - yes, I'm very familiar with octane in regards to boost. I run 20 psi in my...
Ah, I found the other octane quote you are talking about. I can understand my own confusion now.
Did you look at your manual or my link to the PDF? I can't imagine someone modified the text of that PFD, but it does not say 87 (R+M)/2 method, 91 "research octane". I'm not say you're wrong, but...
I'm confused. Why does everyone say use 87, and "use what the manufacturer recommends" and that sort of thing, when it clearly states in the manual that the DeLorean requires 91 octane. 87 may work...
Yes! That's it. Thanks everyone.
At DCS Orlando someone reassembled my rear defogger, but something went wrong, and it didn't quite work out. He mentioned that he posted a HowTo on the forum but I can't find it. (I'm thinking it was...
Thanks Jim. Something I'll have to check for.
I don't understand how you guys run 255s and larger without issue. My 245s rub against the lower link/bottom of the shock when I turn. Maybe I corner too aggressively? But I guess technically I...
Totally agree. I think the brand needs to be in the spotlight to secure future values. It's an exciting time to own a D.
Only problem is, there is no alternator. It's my Insight (hybrid). I've called all the commercial/industrial battery builders in the Toronto area, and none are willing to build me a battery. It's...
Yup. The car won't run without it. It completes a circuit and possible has another function (aside from starting the car in -20C weather)
I've got a problem with a 12v lead-acid car battery, but not the D. Nevertheless, the battery (now 5 years old) is boiling over very badly and destroying my lovely engine bay. I know this will sound...
Thanks for posting weights Dave. Does anyone know what Hervey's aluminum LCAs weigh?
4th gear, as it's closest to a 1:1 ratio.
I agree. I always leave the tank as empty as possible, then fill it with fresh fuel using a jerry can in the spring. I always use stabilizer and have never had a problem. It's cheap, so why not? Last...
Cool Josh here we go.

Location: Toronto, Ontario
Dynometer Brand: Dynojet
I've got the brass bushing and my column STILL rattles over bumps. Not sure what to do. At least it's not falling down on me.
You could be right. I just got it back from DPI and it was running so well I was afraid to mess with it!
You really got me curious so I researched this and found little in favour of the Dynojet. Everyone said Mustangs registered 10% less power using Eddycurrent. I was surprised so I asked my mechanic...
I only used a Dynojet because that's what my mechanic uses. I don't know anyone with a Mustang dynamometer. I don't know much about dynos so I didn't know the two were different!
It sounds like...
Yes, it was working. I checked it when I pulled it out. It was in the full 'cold' position.
I think I've convinced myself as well.
I was hoping these numbers would be useful for people.
I did a couple of dyno runs last night, partly for fun, and partly to have some solid facts. My car is almost completely stock. The only two differences are the rear tires are 245's so slightly...
Hooray! 99% sure I found it. A line wasn't attached down behind the driver's wheel! There was no clamp and the rubber was split a bit where it attached to a metal line. It runs from the driver's...
