What have you done to your DeLorean today?

[opethmike]

Now thats different! Like this better than a LS swap! LS swaps are over rated and you see that every day. Me, I love the PRV! Its the little engine that could, BUT, If I were to do a swap, i'd do a Quad 4 with the supercharger! Nice original idea you have there.

But he had to hack the frame!!!!

[Christian Dietrich]

Well, I think this Frame was wrecked in the rear and he fixed it all? I think? Its whats ever dude. Its your car, do whatcha like. You wanna go faster, go ahead. I myself dont care to much about horsepower. For me, the stock engine, maybe upgraded with cams is all i would need. The supercharged Z/24 with 210hp.... way plenty. But what i cant understand is why you want to build a LS motor and you hardly drive it anyway because of the stupid comments. Isn't kinda pointless? Just asking and you talked about maybe selling it? I dunno, like i said its your car bro. I'll stick with the slow junky K-jet version lol.

Just teasing you

As to why, I like LS motors, and I'm more about the journey than the destination, so a project like this is right up my alley. And there isn't any engine family that makes more sense for a swap.

Installed new weatherstripping on the top of the doors going to the T-panel.

Well a LS engine is stupid simple to work on and can fit in anywhere. With me, its not how fast i get there but how i get there. I used to be all about speed and such in the 90's, early 2000's when i built my Oldsmobile engines but now, its about comfort and handling, and yes a little performance and get up. For me, the DeLorean is a perfect balance of that. Handles great, for the mods i did it gets up and goes with a great exhaust note, and with a interior I dont wanna get out of. Also while in that car, i just wanna travel everywhere in that car! I know im speaking for my self but the DeLorean,.... to me, is the ultimate GT Touring car and I use it like a car and not a show queen..

Getting old Christian, getting old

[Christian Dietrich]

Lmao well i also have a family to think about now but hell, damn wife drives a Hemi Challenger 😲 I love muscle cars also but the DeLorean stole my heart. Its a mechanical version of me. Its simple, doesn't fit in, looks odd different from everything else, goofy and imperfect, but it stands out among the rest. Yeah, maybe i am getting old, oh wait, i am 40 now! The DeLorean is a perfect balance for me. I guess every car has a different feeling for everyone.

If your car looks like you, it must be VERY sexy!

You know the frames dead stock other then the bolt on rear crossbar, which has nothing to do with the swap..

Finally received my custom door vent replacements machined out of ABS by eMachine Shop.


This is my original RH vent:




These are the two replacements that came today. They cost a pretty penny, so I designed them thicker than the originals.
