DMCSouth sucks. At least on here there are people for me to tick off.


On another note, Farrar forgot to mention the hot blonde we saw last night. I think she was genuinly interested in me.

I think Mr. Rice needs a hug. *hugs Mr. Rice*

Oh yeah, sorry about that. That happens to me so often that I forget it almost instantly.

What a shame she didn't get off the phone or follow you.

Farrar has a girlfriend, so he might get in trouble if he tried getting too friendly. I on the other hand will be single until sometime around June 2014 so I've got complete freedom until then.

I wanted a hug from her, not you.

My girlfriend is incredibly tolerant of how friendly I am with my other female friends.

There's no point to me ever buying a lottery ticket. I won when I met her.

I am thinking of selling some of the parts that came with my car in order to help finance its restoration. Would anyone like to buy a stock exhaust system from me? I have no idea what it's worth. I also have a set of cracked rear taillight lenses and all the K-Jet stuff I removed when I put the carburetor on four years ago, including stainless steel-braided fuel lines. No idea what they're worth, either. I have thought about eBay, but I'd rather just bring stuff to DCS and avoid shipping expense/reimbursement.

Steve came over last night and we swapped intake manifold/carburetor assemblies. Although my engine didn't idle perfectly, it idled a hell of a lot better on his carb/manifold than on mine, so we decided to rebuild the carburetor.

good to hear that you were able to get some results. hopefully the rebuild & jets will cure your engine ailments.

Me, too. Now I am torn -- use the carb spacer with longer hold-down studs or just buy the original mounting gasket and have done? I will mull this over while I chop up video for my English final (topic: "DeLorean on a budget?")

If the "plate" is really an adapter (ie it diverts the flow in any way) pitch it.

Do you mean the spacer? It isn't.

I would think the original gasket would be cheaper, easier to install, and would get a much better seal. Its only $5ish and a whole lot less headache.
