The Fastest Delorean In The World

Thats too bad...but yeah it was plagued big time.

Why was it doomed from the beginning? Seems like they were making great progress up to this point.

[Lwanmtr]

Thats what I got from watching the videos...seemed like there was problems all along the way getting it running right, etc..

So what happened? He doesn't really touch on the actual problems. Did i see some missing welds on the headers?

Give it to Nick or Josh. They'll figure it out.

Some headers are welded on the inside of the tube to the flange with some weld on the outside is just for more strength but allowing clearance for the head of the fastener. im curious too what the issue is, alot of footage in that clip was pointing at the exhaust while talking about the clutch that was not up to the job.

As a guy who works on custom built, highly strung cars with parts that didnt go together originally, this does not surprise me.

This is why these projects take YEARS, not a couple months, even then they are never really done. Im still waiting to see how he could possibly pass California emissions LEGALLY. Not happening.

Good luck Adam.

Regardless of project outcome, I sure hope he isn't jobless and $100k in debt. That's a high price to pay for the fastest in the world DeLorean.

I'm pretty sure he just took it to the drag strip yesterday.

I am not sure why that video had a tone of failure, as far as I know the car is operational.

It certainly is not without its problems, but nothing to stop the car from running / driving.

That's good news!

Perhaps for the "drama." Gotta keep people watching past the commercial break. ;-)

That was my first thought also.

Guess we'll find out when/if there is another video....hehe
