What have you done to your DeLorean today?

If you say so!


Anyway, what is the target HP you are shooting for.

300-325 at the wheels would be nice.

I had the car out last night for another beauty drive. The weather here has been unseasonably warm for October. I'm coming up on 2,000 miles this season and that'll be about the 2nd or 3rd most in a year since I got it. Which was exactly ten years ago today.

Here is 3937 on the day it arrived, October 10th, 2007:

And here it is last night, closing the book on my first decade of ownership:

The car came with a list of problems as long as my arm. Now there's hardly anything on that list at all. A gas station guy came over and said how immaculate the car is and he was really impressed with it. I think I am finally too.

Awesome! I will be doing a 10 yr. side by side in another 18 months.

That would be nice, if the transmission could handle it.

It can. Between upgrading some internals, and how exaggerated the UN1's fragility is, I have no worries.

Didn't John decide on our transmission because it was from Renaults racing division?

Yeah, those wheels sure are sharp. I guess what I'm asking is if I wanted the wheels you have, would I need to custom order that finish with John or is that just the way they come if you order silver finish?

Oh no, if you go to his site, DeLoreanAutoParts.com you can get the full powdercoat finish or this, no special order needed. He will send you the wheels and give you a bit to get them swapped over and not charge a core fee. I thing i paid around $900 with shipping and everything.

Out for a cruise with my son and co-club founder last night. Beautiful cool fall evening to head up deeper in the mountains!

What are the notable configuration differences in the LS4 vs what Jonathan and Nick used?

My son is 8 and he LOVES this car! He's always out helping me wipe it off and changing the oil and he always likes to get my creeper and crawl under the car to wipe off the exhaust. I'm glad he really likes this car because I got to leave it to somebody when I get too old to drive so I've been teaching him a lot of things about it so he can learn for when he's old enough to drive!
