A thread where folks can share photos of original or modified DeLorean engine bays.
Example here is an early-VIN car with the OEM setup except for the later-VIN coolant hose around the A/C compressor, aftermarket coolant reservoir and R-134 fittings. The wiring loom over the intake moved to an under-intake routing in later cars.

Perhaps someone here can better explain this aftermarket intake.

Apparently someone who wanted a "hot air intake" instead of a "cold air intake".Originally Posted by Chris3991

This is how mine looks now...but that will change in the next few weeks as I have something very cool planned for her as soon as I get my parts in.

Seriously. That is one impressive looking engine bay. Good work, Michael! I'm working on sprucing up my EFI converted engine bay this winter. Hopefully it comes out looking even half as good as that.

If there were interest, I suppose we could keep an engine bay photo on the Registry (on the Texas club web site), were we have all the VINs listed, and some other specialty photos. Folks would just have to email me a .jpg and the VIN number.

This is mine now. Looking to do the VOD soon and clean up the casting slag on the manifold at the same time. I love that Stainless air box.

Thank you. I really like that air box too but I do remember it was expensive. I'm going to replace the gray cover I made with a clear lexan cover (which is what its sold with) and add some ambient lighting....just enough to be tasteful but not over the top ricey. Also all of my "modest" mods are easily reversible.
