What have you done to your DeLorean today?

[chris williams]

Who's springs and shocks did you use? Can you post a new pic of the cars profile?

Hear you go, picture of the new springs compared to the old OE ones and of the ride height after about 25 miles:DSCF3675.jpgDSCF3676.jpgSprings 6.jpgSprings 12.jpg
Supplied by Ed @ delorean.eu Shocks are from Protech.

Very nice! Did you replace the rear springs and shocks too?

Not this time no, I have always been very happy with the stock rear springs on a DeLorean. I did develope with SPAX the option to lower slightly on the rear using the damper but kept my old car at stock height. I probably will do the rear's next year. I dont wish to lower the car to much just to lower the front down to make the driving position better. Plus we have to many speed humps in the UK to make lowering a car an option!

Nice! What sort of spring compressor did you use? I want to do this to my car as well, but I'm not sure what spring compressor tool I should purchase.

I have some not very good two arm compressors like these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sealey-AK3...item5b032090b9 However I would not use them, although I have done at least 5 DeLoreans with them. Due to lack of space I would use something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2614261598...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT The smaller the hook the better. Though I have a feeling I have seen a picture, may have been on hear of a large clamp type of compressor that seemed a much better idea.

That's a slick little camera. Did it come with the radio or was it something you sourced elsewhere?

Nope, it did not come with the radio, I got the "Flush Mounting Camera-by-Accele". The included cables are long enough to go from the license plate area all the way to the head unit, with a bit left over.

There are two loops of wires that you can cut to add backup lines, reverse the picture, or flip it upside down. I need to figure out the proper thing to add the lines without flipping or rotating the camera.

Drove it today, but it got really hot. No AC in 80 degree weather makes a little oven. Took out the seats after my drive for new leather install. Beyond excited.

Opened up a box of parts on the hood.

Looked at them, and left them there?

No, counted them to make sure everything was shipped. It was (for me) a substantial number of parts.
