I Loved the part on Lombard street. It reminded me of a bit Bill Cosby did about driving in San Francisco.

Thanks guys! So glad you enjoyed it! We had a blast last weekend.

Again a day late:

Went to my first TechSession of the Pacific Northwest Delorean Club (PDNC). What an awesome crowd! It has been a great day at Gary's house and the tips and help provided has beeb outstanding.

Seeing 9 Delorean around was an exciting view.

Tasks completed:
- replaced wiper blades and one wiper arm to reset wiper rest position
- reused one wiper arm, which turned out not to be a great idea (the rainy weather on the way back showed me that the old arm is now jumping on the windshield and causes dirt marks)
- readjusted driver side torsion bar by a notch (Thank you Toby (a.k.a. the master - DMC NW)
- had a walk through of the car with Toby determining the next steps to make VIN 3922 a non-leaking, awesome daily driver
- had a ton of coffee!

Thanks Gary for opening your house, shop and providing coffee, tools and great advice and stories! And thanks to all the great people there to make me feel welcome!

Installed the last of my new brake hoses and pressure tested it with air at 10psi... No leaks!
Time to fill and bleed the system

[vps3922]

- cleaned windshield
- tested Costco Michelin 20" windshield wipers and current windshield arm settings
- swapped driver's side and passenger's side windshield wiper arms to get good alignment with Michelin wipers
- looking awesome and wipers are on sale for $8.50 CAN per blade. Will get a second pair!
- troubleshooted why dome lights do not turn off when closing doors
- determined that it must be the delay relay based on the circuit plan
- have LEDs installed and knew that the dimmer module will not work with them but did not know how this "will not work" does look like
- took the dimmer relay off and voila: it is working fine! Will need to get a dimmer relay from Dave (Bitsyncmaster), if I wish to get dimmer capability.

Noticed that the passenger side door is sticking on the rear latch again. Damn! Lock and latch procedure again! And it must happen on the door that I did the procedure on while the driver side door that Dave (sdg3205) worked on is still fine. Well, I need to learn it anyway.

I've got to tackle my passenger door once and for all this season, too.

Volker,

Try the procedure, but we may need to adjust your striker pins. The latch itself will move 1/4" in either direction if you loosen the big philips screws. Sometimes thats all you need.

Also, I have your washer bottle! Not sure when I'll see you next but you probably want to get it re-installed!

Pulled the front suspension apart to install new LCAs and new ball joints (upper and lower). Had to stop working on it until I get a spring compressor I ordered online.

Will do this in your shop or will have to buy the prying tool for the door.

Yes, probably not this week though.
