"What if" time. What are some of the upgrades you would want for your DeLorean that most likely are NOT realistically going to happen?
My list:
1. Mid-engine
2. DOHC with variable valve timing and lift intelligence.

I would consider an engine swap or relocation un-realistic for me. A realistic upgrade that will most likey not happen?
Stage III...unless I come into enough $$ that I can drop 10k without thinking about it.
That's about it really, I pretty much have my car just the way I want it.

DOHC would be awesome, wonder if the tooling still exists for the limited number that were actually made.Originally Posted by opethmike

Hmmm.....
Carbon Fibre Pontoon
Carbon Fibre Lourve
Kevlar "Y" Frame
Canbus electrical system
BMW V10 heart
Electronic Suspension (Lamborghini - adjustable height)
Motorised door hinges + auto closing
Ideally, reducing the weight of the Delorean by 200kgs would be awesome.

What is with all these people that want to change/modify a D. Where do they get off. Horrors.
Okay, I choose three-abreast seating, as it makes the other "unrealistic upgrade" possible.

I always wanted to make electrical sliding headlight covers for my car. I may still do this someday but never can find the time.

Some slammin hydraulics. 4 switches for 4 wheels, make the car dance.
eBay selling at it's best I can tell you stock Delorians and quite a bit of slugs so the Turbo is a super nice up-grade.
