What have you done to your DeLorean today?

[jfirios]

Sweet. My whole car interior is apart right now doing a full stereo install myself. I just got in my HU and XM module. Was talking with my friend who is helping me with the install. We decided to add another 2 more speakers bringing it up to 15 speakers being installed. Going to be awesome.

I'm waiting to have some time off from work to install these babies.

Replaced engine mounts yesterday. Removed muffler, CAT and corresponding brackets. Found one of the brackets was cracked.

Stared at it as I walked by too go clear fresh snowfall from my driveway.


FARRAR, That trunk light is awesome. What version is it and were did you get it? Do you have picture of the LED/SMD assembly?

[ccurzio]

Installed Dave's upgraded RPM relay and wired a fuse to the WUR per his recommendation.

Many thanks to him for his patience and helpfulness.

Thanks! I got two small SMD panels from Superbright and used black weatherstrip adhesive to seal the components against moisture/adhere them to the trunk plastic above and below the hole where the stock fixture used to be. I will take a picture a little later and post it.

Back on topic: today we adjusted my torsion bars. No more doors slamming into my head and back in chilly weather!

I would not recommend COLD weather compensation of torsion bars. Replace the struts first. At the very least Turn them back down once the weather warms up. Is it really that cold in New Orleans this time of year?

It was 80 degrees today.

Some context for DMC5180 and anyone else wondering: with brand new struts, in 50-degree weather, my doors would only stay open halfway. I could push them all the way up, but they wouldn't stay up even with fresh-out-of-the-box PJ Grady struts.

No, it doesn't make sense to adjust your torsion bars when it's cold outside. So... we didn't.

OK, You adjusted with recently installed New struts. That is the correct way to do it. I'm guessing you only needed one spline position of rotation to get what was needed.

Started installing more dynamat, lots to install, i hope its worth the money.

Correct! And it only took a few minutes.
