There seems to be more lately. Perhaps there’s a sale on tinfoil.

The auto will definitely do 100+, he said he doesn’t like to keep the RPMs high though, so he doesn’t go that fast. 3rd gear in the auto is equivalent to 4th gear in the manual, so I’d guess whatever...

Are you sure it’s the bearing? There are body bolts in that area that will create a similar knock during turns if they are loose.

I had a similar thought. I see two electric cars that were built/imagined/planned..whatever..for something else and now will be repurposed as new DeLoreans. It would explain why Kats timeline is so...

Cool video!

Nice! The DeLorean Industries water pump is the best around.

Thanks. I couldn’t remember if I had to pay for my Lotus or not.

I’m pretty sure I pay property taxes on all of my cars, but I don’t remember off the top of my head. I travel a lot so my wife usually makes sure the bills get paid. I don’t think the DMV places a...

Hello fellow VB owner! I’ve done it both ways:

Regular plates will require yearly State inspections for safety related items. The car is treated as a “normal” car. I chose this route for my daily...

The lack of a signal from the O2 sensor would not harm a properly functioning car, you’d simply use more gas and have higher emissions. However, if there is something amiss with the Lambda system...

It sounds like my car when I had the fuel mixture adjusted incorrectly. Have you taken any dwell measurements? Out of curiosity, does the problem go away when the O2 sensor is disconnected?

I’d start with a thorough inspection of the roof box.

Open the access cover and use a boroscope to get an idea of what’s going on inside the box (it tends to rust from inside- out). Look for...

When a 40 year old car only has 175 miles, roadworthiness means nothing. How road worthy does it have to be to sit in a garage?

Keep in mind that it’s the same engine used on a lot of old Volvos. Your local Volvo shop might still employ someone who is knowledgeable with that engine.

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...

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...

PM sent

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.
