I'm an old millennial... born in '82. The cars are definitely ingrained into the culture of anyone born in the 1980s. What's really surprised me since buying my current DeLorean is the fact the Gen Z...
Hello Texas DeLorean owners! The Texas All British Car Days show is coming up Sunday September 25 in Round Rock:

This is a great show and it's been...
Just wondering if anyone would be interested in a central Texas gathering. I just saw a DeLorean driving down 15th Street here in Austin and it reminded me how many cars are in this area but there is...
How funny, I'm taking the exact opposite path as you; I'm going to be putting my DeLorean on the market soon in order to buy a Model 3. DeLoreans will always be my biggest passion... but I've...
It’s looking like my car simply had a big vacuum leak. The fat vacuum hose on the back of the warm up regulator was split because a hose clamp dug into it. I’ve driven it a few times since...
I’m pretty sure my issue is too much fuel, too. The engine seems like it’s drowning in fuel until it gets up to operating temperature and then it’s fine. I replaced the warm up regulator and...
My car is actually doing something very similar right now; it’s stumbling and tries to die while driving until it gets up to operating temperature. My entire fuel system was replaced about a year...
Here's the 5 year version. I hovered over 2017 since there is no scale/legend:

They are the Original Material ones:

My current steering wheel leather is toast; there are a couple of sizeable chunks missing and it's shrunken and pulled away from the spokes near the center pad. Since my center pad also needs to be...
Going in I was thinking $300-$400 as well and was in for some serious sticker shock. Every place I called in Austin wanted $900-$1,000 labor for both seats. I ended up paying $650.
Quotes to get the seats recovered here in Austin ended up being far more expensive than I anticipated and shops were on weeks to months long delays. So I found an upholstery shop in San Marcos about...
This is also what my car is running and I think they’re fantastic. The car handles bumps better than my ‘20 Accord daily driver yet isn’t floaty or wallowy either.
I've replaced seat covers before before but I am going to have a professional do it this time. Since I paid extra for the DeLoreanGo seat covers I figured it makes sense to go ahead and spend extra...
I ended up going with the Original Material seat covers from DeLoreanGo. They arrived yesterday and are beautiful (and quite fragrant). I removed the seats from the car and just need to work out...
I could be off base... but I get the impression that the vehicle being unveiled at Pebble Beach (which has zero to do with the original cars) killed the plan to build new "classic" DeLoreans. The new...
Thank you for sharing your picture! It looks like they fixed the issue with the headrest neck. I think I'm going to pull the trigger on these now.
Yeah, the reasons why I’m only considering the DMC-Texas or DeLoreanGo Original Material seat covers is they are the only ones on the market with the proper ripple/ruching effect in the center...
Had Hankook Kinergy tires installed about a week ago. I have to say, I was pretty dubious of them going in. I wasn’t nuts about the sidewall design and I’ve always run Michelins on my cars and...
Having been in the DeLorean community since the late 90s, I can say there has always been "drama" and trolls. I don't think any of that has necessarily gotten worse... I just think that as some of us...
First of all, congrats on your purchase! Most customer cars seem to spend about a year there. Not sure what the standard is when you buy a refurbished car from them, though. From my experience trying...
Thanks! It feels odd having one in the garage again. I purchased DeLorean #3 about a month ago, almost 20 years to the day from when I bought my first one. The car has extensive service records from...
I'll be taking my car to Radwood Austin at the Circuit of the Americas on Saturday, February 26th. It would be great to have some more DeLorean representation there!

Spent the weekend installing a label kit, new floor mats, replacing rusty exterior fasteners, and continuing to deep clean the car. It's amazing how little details add up to make a big impact....
I just received some parts from DMC-Texas the other day. In the box was a pamphlet previewing a “full catalogue coming soon.” I’m guessing they are rolling out a new online store to match the...
