I’ve never been a fan of the central door lock system. In stock form it’s probably one of the worst offenders as fas as battery drain is concerned, and even if it’s functioning correctly (which it...

Dave McKeen came up with a solution to prevent a malfunctioning WUR from frying the RPM relay. He puts a 3 amp fuse on the positive WUR wire.
And?
Surely we have better things to do then care whether or not some stranger knows the complete DeLorean story.
Maybe it is the DaVinci with a slightly different rear end. How many brand new gull wing door cars is ItalDesign introducing right now?
That type of date on the VIN plate was the original style. It was changed a few months into production. As mentioned by others it’s a European date: day, month, year.
It’s a CYA thing. Having a key code doesn’t prove you’re the owner of the vehicle. By saying no they are trying to shield themselves from trouble by not making a key for the stranger who just walked...

Your best bet would be a place like PJ Grady on Long Island, as they have decades of experience working on DeLoreans. If you need someone a bit closer, you need to find out which garage is servicing...
Exactly. These are the cars I’m talking about. The owners of which don’t give a single thought to spending money on it, risking their lives and the lives of those unfortunate enough to be driving...
Not true. The windshield is part of the vehicle structure and a crack means it is not in proper functioning condition. Don’t be cheap. Buy a windshield.
Sure, but you’ve got to be caught first. You never know when a cop will catch you with your busted windshield, but you do know that the yearly inspection will.
You don’t know who owned your car during those years, which makes those owners strangers to you. Unless you have a different definition of strangers.
And no, I’m not as curious as you.
You won’t give out your VIN, but you’re upset you don’t have access to a group of strangers names and addresses?
I’ve lived in states that did not require inspections. I saw a lot of turds that shouldn’t be on the road. As annoying as the inspection is, for many people it’s the only motivation they have to keep...
Unfortunately that is not the case in some states. Apparently, too many “off road use only” items are being used as replacement parts and some garages are looking for DOT markings. I recently failed...
DPI will sell brand new tail light assemblies by the end of this year:

I’m assuming that...
Bingo. Now I can dunk like Jordan.
If everything is working correctly it shouldn’t hunt. Not much anyway. The problem is idle hunting is so common and can happen for so many reasons that most people just live with it.
I want to put them on the bottom of my shoes, Inspector Gadget style.
DMCH sells a kit that isn’t terribly expensive.
I’ve unplugged my IAC valve several times and it never stopped the engine. IIRC it helps keep the engine going under different loads (AC on for example) but will not starve the engine of air if it...
It’s a common misconception that DeLorean used “tall” springs on some cars for ground clearance, USA bumper height laws or some other nonsense. There is no proof of that whatsoever, and the US bumper...
6500 was a guess. I think it was first published in a DeLorean magazine sometime in the 90’s.
It’s mentioned in several DeLorean books.
DMCF is located in Orlando. Perhaps it was one of their cars? Did you happen to pay them a visit while you were in the area?
