Drove it for the first time in 3 months. The A/C is dead and being in Arizona, it's kiiind of necessary. I got up super early this AM before it got brutally hot out and brought it to a shop recommended on the AZ-D.org forum, about 90 miles away. It's still there now.
picked up from the shop yesterday. new brake fluids and brake bleeding was done (car actually stops properly now). They kept it under another car outside so it got super dusty and grimy. Took it to get hand washed. The guys got a kick out of washing a delorean and they did a fantastic job.

There is a car wash near the house I take it there to "Prewash" before going to a show. however, the kids love working on it and do such a good job I have not had to detail it afterward. I tip the kid 20 or 30 bucks for everything he does he works for about 45 min to an hour on it. The management likes it because when its there people slow down and some have pulled in to get the car washed just to see the delorean.
[QUOTE=Lenny;114703]Yeah they all came out and were happy to wash it. 45 minute hand wash on the exterior. They went with the grain and looked like new. 20 bucks and definitely a lot of stares from other clients and passerby's.Quote:

"Installed" the replacement trunk carpet from DMC. That is, I pulled the OEM one out and set the new one in place. This is the opposite of replacing the clutch master wrt degree of difficulty.
Very good value, fits well and looks great.
Timed spark per Volvo spec (10° BTDC @ 750RPM with spark advance line removed/capped) and went for a drive.
Blower motor quit about 30 minutes in. Circuit breaker and motor are less than 3 years old. Checked Fuse #10: it has less than 7 volts running through it! Uh oh!
Changed ATF and oil.
The car marked its territory. Another British oil spill...
So why did you deviate from the 13˚ +/-- 2˚ BTDC factory spec? shits & giggles or what.Quote:
