    Your work is simply amazing, Alex. "Well done" would be an understatement. Words fail me! Some day I hope to be up to your level of skill.

    Some day I am sure you will whip my ass in outperforming me. If I did this with the first Delorean I had ever seen in my life I can imagine what the rest of you could do.

    Than you too for your help and support buddy!

    I appreciate your appreciation
    The only thing I am not real happy of is the dmoco shifter plate.
    I never seen anyone complain and it made me wonder.
    It makes shifting a bit of extra effort and a lot of getting used to. No matter how I tried to regulate the transmission it's still a game of Tetris every time I shift.

    Plus it is creating hitting marks on my brand new stainless shifter column by DPI which is simply a great upgrade!!!!
    Way to go josh!

    Another DMCH part that failed
    (After the sump gasket, the tranny breather and another tranny seal)
    I had to remove the tranny today after only having driven 70 miles...

    (Yes I drive with that BARCODE license plate!!! It's 2015 isn't it? )

    The seal just wasn't doing its job and it cost me 200€,
    There was no way I hell I would try and remove that tranny again alone in my garage.



    So thanx to Ed's replacement seal I was on my way 3 hours later

    Nice exhaust sound... Many think it's a ford gt40

    That sucks!!

    Looks like you got access to a hoist which will make it much easier to work at.

    Actually I rented the hoist and spot for 200€(

    Shouldn't DMCH pick up that bill? Why do i have to pay for faulty parts?

    I know the feeling al too well ; me is not very happy with the way "certain" DMC dealers dealt with me ... but that's another story.

    I am proud to say
    MY DELOREAN WILL MAKE GREEK HEADINES

    Next week the Greek issue publishers of "car&driver" mag will do a shoot for their next edition.

    It was seen at a A/C service centre while getting my system filled.

    They were amazed of the condition and asked for my contact details.

    I don't suppose anyone wants a copy of that issue eh? Hahaha
