What have you done to your DeLorean today?

Did almost the same thing on the frame this afternoon

Ol' 3341 had been running a bit rough, so Saturday I thought I'd clean the plugs. Smoothed right out. And I could easily tell which plug was fouled (the rest looked pretty good, and one even looked like new, but I digress).

Anyway, while in there, I somehow broke the wire to the coolant sensor. Unfortunately it broke right there at the sensor itself, and I couldn't reach in very easily to get the old wire connector off the sensor post. So the whole thing had to come out. Wow what a job that turned out to be! Could they have put the sensor in a more inconvenient place? I don't think so! I was not happy with the whoever engineered THAT idea. Whatever, I spent my Easter Sunday (after services) draining the coolant, getting to the sensor and getting it out, fixing the contact, and putting it all back together again. Bummer... but hey, that's DeLorean ownership, I guess.

I installed a pair of Tom N (DeLoreana.com in Poland) Extneded view Convex Skde-View Mirrors. You can notice the black line running down the mirror. These should help clear up any blind spots.

Today I picked up my car from DMCNW, after getting a Stage I kit installed. I absolutely love the new exhaust sound!

They also installed some brand new stainless throttle cover plates, custom engraved with " Stage I" and the "DMC" logo. They really look great on the engine, almost as if they were factory designed. Check out the pictures.

That looks really sharp!

I wonder if Toby would do a custom plate for those without a Stage 1 or 2? I'd love a plate that said "PRV6" or something like that.

The plates come blank, so you definitely can get one without Stage I or II. I think it'd be worth checking with Toby to see if he could make a stencil that said PRV or something. Might have to bring that up at the tech session.

Those cover plates looks really nice

I am getting ready to change the fuel filter, and while I have that line open, I will replace the original fuel feed line (102365). I got a Stainless Steel braided version from DeLorean Club-UK, and it comes with bare SS braids. My DMC S/S injector hoses have a black cover on them, so I decided to get a black heat shrink tube for this hose to match.

The heat shrink tube is 3/4" semi rigid plastic with integrated glue. It shrinks to about half it's diameter, which is 3/8, just the size of the fuel line.

Heat shrink in process. I used a heat gun, with a constant wave motion...being careful not to leave it on one area too long.

Heat shrink tube all installed. Now it matches the injector hoses perfectly.

I also got the S/S return line, and I'll do the same treatment to it.

Gave a command performance. We were at friends' house about a mile from where we live. We'd driven Colleen's Optima. The guys and I were out in a new crew cab pickup admiring it. Colleen came out to tell me to go get 1121. Someone wanted to see "the DeLorean." It was one of the other wives. She came back to our place while I swapped cars (she wanted the ride). Once we were back, the guys were interested.

I'm not 100% sold on a DeLorean only being a guy magnet.
