A "GooGaro" styled car?

You know, I panted and drooled over that car when I saw the for sale ad on the webpage. Forget about the break down, that car looked rough close up. I would have had that car detailed to a tee if I knew someone was coming with a camera to make a video of it..and 6 month old gas does not gum up like that. Probably had a lot of old melted rubber mixed in with it, or sludge from the bottom of the pickup.

I think that car would be a lot of constant wrenching for whomever buys it.

That car still the Renault transmission, which I'm sure has issues due to all that power being forced into a stock Delorean transmission. I will not buy a Delorean with a different engine like that. I'll stick with the PRV motor. I prefer usefulness over performance.

Lotus had the same problems when they put the V8 with a Renault transmission. The engine had to downtuned so it wouldn't wear out the clutch.

Who knows maybe the next owner will make this Delorean work better and bring it to some events!

I agree, BS on the fuel. I've had my car sit with the K-Jet for more than 6 months and start right up with no issues. Something else is going on there. Also, I actually spoke to the guy at McLeod Racing who worked with Don on the clutch flywheel setup. It is NOT a stock clutch, its one that McLeod made specially for the car.

This is worrisome, How would Don let somebody drive that car knowing it had old fuel in it, on a heavily boosted engine no less! Starving a engine like that of fuel is the last thing you want to do.

Especially for a TV show lol. If it were me, I'd have pulled the car out as soon as I heard they wanted to see it, cleaned it up, and drove it around for a week to make sure everything was perfect. I mean, a video about the worlds fastest DeLorean with footage of dissecting the fuel tank on the side of the road?? Sure it was a cool video and all, but not necessarily the best publicity for "the only certified DeLorean mechanic" I'm sad to say. To me, it kind of just furthers the "DeLoreans always leave their drivers stranded" rumors.

"You need to solidify it... you need to loosen it up"

HUH!?!?!

There was a magazine article about this car in the late 80s. Run DMC. I'd imagine someone has it posted online somewhere.

[DeLorean]

yeah.... that is not a positive video, for all involved. Many things should have been done differently there.

i was thinking the same thing as they were tearing into the fuel tank on the side of the road.
