What have you done to your DeLorean today?

[jawn101]

Removed the:
- Lower engine cover
- Rear fascia and stiffener
- Rear impact absorber
- Alternator
- Muffler and all three brackets
- Muffler and lower fascia heat shields
- Charcoal canister
- Mixture unit with all fuel components
- Intake manifold
- 90% of the coolant

Started to take off the half-shafts but SOMEBODY used an impact driver on them last time we reinstalled em and I can't budge the stupid things by hand. So I'll just make him take them off as punishment

Record time for me at 3:45 to do all that. Started to feel a little freaked out that I was getting so good at it. Had a little "yes!" moment when I saw the completely dry and debris-free valley.

Tomorrow I think I'll try to get the radiator replaced. Friday I might tackle the flex fuel hoses at the accumulator.

Implemented the Cooling Fan mod kit from DMC-NW. It was a little more leaning into the fuse box area than I was hoping for, but very good instructions and worked a treat. Also implemented the suggestion in the instructions to decouple the startup of the fans from the compressor.

Next up... new radiator and Toby fans.

Fitted new Bosch two-tone horn set. Spliced a relay into the circuit near the stalk to unload the horn switch (the new horns draw twice the current of stock; didn't want contact arcing);



Also fitted a relay to the main lighting switch to take the sidelights / tail lights / panel lighting current (John Hervey's headlight switch saver mod).

You are a machine!

That's nothin!

Today I removed the fans, condenser and radiator. Installed Ed's radiator from DMC-EU. It was a perfect drop-in fit and looks like a million bucks - too bad it will be hidden behind the ugly as sin but still perfectly functional factory condenser. Tried to run the system up to pressure with my tester, but with only air. Boy did that not work. Guess I'll just have to test everything once the motor is back together.

Protip: if you think you might replace ANY of the front cooling system (radiator, condenser, fans) you should save yourself a HUGE amount of hassle and just do all three at once. Save yourself the utter sh1t sandwich of trying to wrangle one part out with the others connected. It would have been so easy to just cut the whole thing loose with a knife and install a whole new 3-layer assembly. You'll just end up doing the others later anyway... think of it as insurance

Stopped by an alignment shop today to see about getting an alignment to go with the new tires. No openings until next Thursday, hrmph. So made an appointment for then. Also tried doing some minor door adjustments as they got tweaked a little bit when I replaced the windshield last year. And finally I replaced my wideband O2 sensor yet again. This is now my 4th one. Hrmph. This time I also got the "heaksink extender bung" to go with it, and reinstalled the 1.2rc4 firmware one more time. Damn LC1. If it fails on me one more time I'm getting a completely different system. Who would have thought the O2 sensor would be the most frustrating part of my EFI conversion?

hello,

have you got some troubles with the LC-1 ?

I've just installed this kit on my efi ( renault renix ecu ) http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/x...roductid=16291

That looks GREAT! Man, what a difference !

That's the height I'd like my car to sit at. My front end is a little too low for me.
