North Carolina Tech Event (Spring 2016)-Saturday April 16th- in Lexington NC

[Iznodmad]

This event is for anyone that is interested in a gathering of DeLoreans. The concept is simple, we gather together on this day to have some fun together with our cars! This is usually done twice per year in the Spring and again in the Fall. At past events, I've had over twenty DeLoreans present and representing multiple states. While we have built a core of owners who always attend, I'm constantly on the lookout for any new owners or enthusiasts that want to participate. I have on the agenda this time to do much needed brake work, fuel system work, and perhaps a little coolant system work to my early car, VIN 888. If you would like to attend, please add your name and anyone you might be bringing with you. Also add if you have a DeLorean and if you want to try and work on something at the event. As always, if you need tires, wheel/tire balance, or alignment, I have access to a nearby tire shop where the shop owner loves DeLoreans and will take excellent care of your car for those services.

I plan to be there. Seriously doubt I'll be bringing anyone with me...

[todd1561]

I should be able to make it, with my D of course. Happy to help on your projects, should I bring any tools?

Todd

[Iznodmad]

Nothing wrong with excess tools. Especially if you have something you think we might need to do certain tasks. We may end up spending more time at the tire shop to make life easier with the car on a lift. Just a thought.

I also want to mention there is a car that needs the sway bar swapped around the correct way. That shouldn't be too much of a problem. It was discovered at one of the previous meets and just needs to be corrected.

[DMC VIN 6639]

I live in charlotte area. I would be interested in joining in the future. I have a ways to go before mine will be road worthy.

Rob

[Iznodmad]

Hello Rob. I still recommend you attend. It is always good to see other DeLoreans and ask questions to other owners to learn. I have had a few owners trailer the car to the event just so we could all look it over and form a plan for restoration.

[DMCMW Dave]

At this time Julee and I are planning to attend as part of our "Spring Tour of the South East" (which also coincides with some grandchild-sitting in South Carolina).

We (well, at least I) hope to do more of this sort of thing as time permits, as long as I promise that every vacation/road trip isn't 100% DeLorean content.

Won't be driving the DeLorean, won't be carrying much in the way of tools/parts but if there is anything reasonable (no windshields, engines, etc.) let me know.

[Rad Dad]

I know I have stood you up the last two times, but I do plan on being there. You'll be able to see and hear the new stage II set-up installed by Dave Swingle to replace my old worn out turbos.

[Mike C.]

[Iznodmad]

Safe travels Dave & Julee. See y'all in a couple of days!

[Rad Dad]

Just a "thank you" to Darren and his family for being such gracious hosts. It is a shame that more folks could not attend. Whenever Darren hosts one of these, try your darnedest to attend. You'll not regret it.

[yianni]

Totally agree with you. Darren is a great host and a Delorean enthusiast. I have attended two of his shows and they were great. As a matter of fact, that is where I heard my D run for the first time. I wanted to be there this time but had business to take care of out of town. Will try to be there next time.

[steve6864]

Darren,sorry I couldn`t make it this time.Conflicted with a really cool event my local club had planned. See you at the big show I hope. Ever get your twin turbo back and thanks for the comment on the Header post. Steve.

Hey, I know that this tech session has come and passed, but I am a little hopeful that maybe some of you might be interested in having another tech session, or may be willing to help me out.

I'm in the Fayetteville area, and will be down here until with the military the end of August. I'm just down here for training with work, so I don't have any tools with me. My Delorean has developed a strong fuel smell. She's had issues with her fuel accumulator in the past, and based on where the smell is coming from, I suspect that to be the issue again.

Along with that, I think the angle drive snapped (again). I basically want to get her back in good order before I drive her +1,000 miles on my trip back home. If anyone with tools and the technical know how would be willing to help, I'd be very grateful. I can offer payment in the form of pizza and beer for the group, and offer my assistance as a spare set of hands. :cheers:

Kindest regards,

David
