Monday July 6,2015, The Delorean family added a new member.
After 30 years of same family ownership, I passed the torch of owner to a forum member from the east side of Michigan.
Recent life...

Steve,
Am I to assume you are no longer interested in my car? I was under the impression that as of this past Saturday you still were planning a trip to see mine.
Curt

I own 5778, an Oct 1981 build. grooved hood, gray interior, automatic. Same family most its life, basically all stock driveline, a/c converted to r- 134, hoses swapped, compressor drained etc. Stock...

James,
Is the HW City car a "Wal-Mart" exclusive, or will it be a regular issue?
Curt

I have done Woodward for the last 8 years, but only twice with the D. We have also visited the QAC in Troy. Driving tours are great fun. Tony and Rich, from the Chicago area are a wealth of...

I think I will try a different shop for the alignment, everyone seemed put-out or nervous about touching it. I drove it up on the rack, and the mechanic determined I had a camber issue before I was...

I have cut coils on the front of 5778, 1.5 coils cut out. I just noticed serious tire wear from too much negative camber. I measured a spare set of un-cut oem springs, and the 13" free standing...

Got mine coming! It won't ship 'till January, but I got mine ordered at about 4pm...Michigan time! No drama at all.
Curt

A reminder to all that this Sunday is the annual British car show at Gilmores car museum, In Hickory Corners, Michigan!
I have been in contact with a few owners that have done this show with me in...

Just got the new Hallmark Christmas ornament catalog, and the Delorean "OUTATIME" Back to the Future ornament will be availible in October, $17.95 USA
Prepare to hoard in massive amounts!!!
Curt

Ok... I usually stick to toys, but the new Hallmark Christmas ornament catalog just arrived at my house, and The Back To The Future Delorean is in there, but its not availible until October. It is...

Is anyone doing any part of the Hot Rod power tour this weekend?
I plan on being in Milford Sat. and Muskegeon on Sun. The rest is up in the air, but not much farther.
I know I don't have a muscle...

The Delorean front suspension reminds me of the 1974-1978 Mustang II front suspension that is so popular with the street rod builders. After market companies have replaced the "strut rods", with...

I am in search of the generator part of the automatic transmission controller. I know I may be asking for a miracle, but this is the only part I need. I don't need any of the boards or wiring, but...

It was not flooded or full, but more than a few drops. This is the second time I have had this open, but the first time I never had any oil. The gear oil must come through the unit somehow? Is there...

The replacement boots I bought came with zip ties, I was a little unsure as well, but all is still good. A little trouble getting them tight, but it all worked out.
Good luck,
Curt

Ok, a little off topic, but... has anyone opened up the circuit board portion of the GC and found gear oil in there? I was having trouble last fall, so I stored the car till now. I am not driving it...

Tim,
This is right up my alley! If you remember, I have thousands of HotWheels in my "playroom" along with a slotcar track, HO train track, and several misc. diecasts. Someday you must see it, It...

Back in May, HotRod magazine did a story story using gas leaf blowers on a 1985 Corvette they are giving a slow death to, spent $413.93 on 2 Sears blowers 470cfm's each, for a total of 940 cfm's,...

How would I find a link to this forum? Could I ask Please? You never know how or when this may be handy!
Curt

Are there anypoints outside the gov assembly that could provide some type of additional ground? I know there is a lot of plastic on it. If I could provide a "cheater" ground on the outside, is there...

Sorry, I guess I missed the question...oops! I am not getting the same results twice. went out today, everything worked perfect. But yesterday I did pull the shifter down into second, and then to...

Ok...
What if it is a "missing" ground? If I have 12v at all points on the test connector, the coils in the solenoids are recieving power(+), but if I am looking at the schematic correctly, the...

Thanks,
I checked the harness for any contact with the exhaust, none found, everything is high and tight. I have tried to read resistance from the round connector on top of the GC, using the same...

I am having transmission problems that I think are the shift solinoids on the transmission valve body, 104003. My car starts out great, upshifts as it should and doesn't slip. When you come up to a...
