I have the exact opposite ! my steering is really tight and a squeaking noise 
is louder than the stereo will go! If I point the car round a tight corner I 
can take my hands of the wheel ,lay down and have a nice cup of tea, forty 
winks ,read a book and the car still keeps the same track ( a real party 
trick to scare them all ) I know there is a problem but I,m sure its just the 
bush where the colum goes through the bulk head 
Does anyone know a fix as to be honest the last time I went to tackle the 
problem I spent a few hours without getting the steering wheel off !!

help would be helpful!

I was just wondering if any owners out there have had the Lo-Jack vehicle 
recovery system installed in their DeLorean, and what the real benefits of 
the system are. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Lo-Jack, it is NOT 
an alarm system, but more of a homing device that the police use to track 
stolen cars. If your car is stolen with a Lo-Jack system on board, they will 
track it and the police will retrieve it. Now honestly I do not like to 
change my DeLorean in the slightest. I really wouldn't want many changes made 
to the car. Does anyone out there have this installed on their DeLorean? What 
do you think of it.

Thanks,

Curious Justin

hi...

i am in the process of purchasing an 82, 5 spd.  i will have to float a loan
for a good portion of the price, and i figured that it would probably be
easier to get some financing (because of the cars age..) if i had an
apprasial..  can anyone in the toronto area suggest a reputable apprasier?

i would also appreciate it if someone could let me know of a company that
appreciates the value of these cars, and is readily willing to finance
them..  i can forsee the age of the car being a problem for my bank.

thanks..
:)

James,
Sounds like you have a rare find, the sliding windows is the giveaway. See
if you can get the VIN. Keep us posted.

Do either the Craig or the ASI radios have an auxiliary-in jack on them
(for connecting an external CD player, for example)? If not, would anyone
have a recommendation for a replacement stereo that might include such a
thing?  A tape player would be preferable to a CD player.

Michel,
DO NOT ADVANCE THE TIMING! The DeLorean ignition system is extremely stable
and will never drift. We have found most cars never need adjustments from
their factory settings. If the engine is running rough the problem will be
related to items other than timing unless someone has tampered with it. The
timing should be set to 13 degrees BTDC + or - 2 degrees. A rough running
cold engine is usually caused by a malfunction of the "warm up circuit" or
"fuel enrichment circuit".

Concerning the outer drive shaft to hub carrier torque the factory spec is
270 lb. ft.

Marc & Lee,
Shortly after the DeLorean hit the streets the infamous "plastic clutch
line" problems started popping up all over the country. In an effort to
correct the problem an adjustable clutch pedal link was manufactured and
supplied to dealers for replacement. (Service Bulletin No. ST-07-9/82). The
problem was that in order to compensate for the loss of pedal action the
link could be easily over adjusted this caused the master cylinder plunger
to travel too far in the bore causing premature failure of the master
cylinder. The adjustable link should only be considered as temporary,
replacing the factory plastic line with the stainless braided is the only
way to go.

Hi 
I ahve had my D  for a couple of years and am looking for some info on its 
history ,it was sold to a G Mohi in LA in 1981 and was sold it seems by DMC 
.Does anyone know if this was a DMC only dealer or if the garage is still 
there and selling another brand ? Is there a G Mohi in a Delorean club or has 
anyone heard of him ?
I have his address from  81 but dont want to pester him 

any help?

 Cheers from Scotland

Lance,
Not to diminish your fine work at bleeding the clutch but I wanted to reply
to your statement that "As you would be aware, the job would be impossible
to accomplish unless the car is raised off the ground." We bleed the slave
cylinder without ever getting under the car. The whole process takes us
less than five minutes. Of course it does help that we do this all the
time.
I guess it has to do with how many ways to "skin a cat". Thanks for your
input.

Lee,

Recently I had to replace the clutch becuse the plate disintergrated.
While I had the clutch out, I decided to have the clutch slave cylinder
re-sleeved because it had a slight weep.  It also had some corrosion
inside. I found bleeding the line and cylinder was not  too difficult a
job, just a bit fiddly.  If I recall, a 5/32" ring/open-end spanner fitted
neatly over the bleed valve (ring end).  With this in place, I fitted a
length of clear plastic tube over the end of the valve and placed the other
end into a jar.  I used about 4' of tubing.  Enough to reach from the slave
cylinder to the ground and with a bit to spare.  With my son working the
cluch pedal, I successfully bled the system.  In fact, I completely changed
the oil with new.  I have a good strong pedal and the clutch works great.

As you would be aware, the job would be impossible to accomplish unless the
car is raised off the ground.  I had my 'D' on axle stands.  Also if you
lay on a creeper, this will give you more mobility whilst under the car and
make the job a little easier for you.  For illumination, I used a 240v
trouble light which I managed to wedge up beside the bell housing.

I don't mean to be telling you how to suck eggs, but the bleeding process
is quite simple.  With the bleed valve closed, have somebody slowly pump
the pedal a few times, and with the pedal held in, release the bleed valve.
 Make sure the person working the pedal does not release the pedal while
you have the valve open.  Keep repeating this process until all air is
removed from the system and a good flow of fluid extrudes.  During the
process, you will notice clutch beginning to operate and the pedal becoming
load bearing.

Lance

 Over the weekend my friend and I put 300 miles on the D. It was a mix of
city and highway. The D much prefers the highway as aposed to stop and go.
  The water temp would shoot up to 220 in a matter of minuts when we
started goingfrom stop light to stop light.  Once we got moving again, the
temp would drop below 150 quickly. By design, it's just not ment to sit
idel.

I also would like to put a high level CD player in WHich one would fit with
minimum damage in case  I ever wanted to go back to original. Hell I want
good sounds and all my  music is on CD now soon will be DVD.

 <SNIP> Do either the Craig or the ASI radios have an auxiliary-in jack on them <SNIP>

As far as I know neither of them had an input.  I do know that Alpine and JVC have units that have inputs and controls right on the tape player to control a CD Changer.  Usually they will only work with their respective brands of CD Changers

I have Lo-Jac in a leased car. Haven't figured out yet why I did it except my 
insurance carrier reduced my premium relating to the value of the car by 10%. 
As the car has never been stolen, I have no idea how well it works, however, 
LAPD did make a big haul on cars stolen and being shipped out of the country 
in freight containers about a year or so ago. Located a couple of the cars by 
Lo Jac and found the rest of the stolen cars at the Los Angeles harbor.  I 
don't think the cost ($450 negotiable) is necessarily worth installation in 
the Delorean as insurance would cover the loss and they seem to be readily 
available to be purchased for the foreseeable future. Just a thot.

Kenwood makes a unit that fits in the stock location, and will control
their CD changer units.  Model: KRC-3006, sells for $179.95 in most
places.

Anyone hear anything further about the DeLorean that was turned over by the
rioting college students?  Has anyone heard from the owner?

I'm curious to know what kind of service his/her insurance company is
giving, whether there are any more pictures online, and whether any civil
or criminal suits have been filed.

Just wondering,

reply:

Joe,

	So if I understand what you are saying, that some D's may have this
adjustable part and this part can be over adjusted to compensate for loss
of pedel which will cause the master cylinder to fail.
	Also that the stainless line is the correct and permanent fix for both?

	I replaced my plastic line a while back so I expect the new master
cylinder to last
for a while. I also note that some owners report no problems in spite of
the plastic line.

I'll go out on a limb here and say that Y2K will affect the onboard
computer in no or virtually no cars.  We had a discussion about this a
while back and it seems the criteria for a Y2K problem are:

Clock must be installed in system;
System must care about clock output;
Clock must be set to valid date.

I don't know whether the DMC-12 computer contains any clocks or not, but
if it does, you can reset them to 1981 by disconnecting the battery. :}

YOU CAN PURCHASE A CD CHANGER WITH AN FM MODULATOR IN IT.  THIS IS WHAT I
PLAN ON DOING FOR MY D IN A FEW MONTHS.  A CHANGER WITH A MODULATOR WILL
WORK WITH ANY STEREO THAT USES AN ANTENNA (HENCE EVERY CAR STEREO).  IT
PLUGS INTO THE ANTENNA JACK AND THEN THE ANTENNA PLUGS INTO IT.  THEREFORE,
YOU CAN STILL HAVE YOUR AM'FM RADIO - CASSETTE PLAYER  (ORIGINAL) AND A CD
PLAYER/CHANGER!!!

Just to let everyone know there was a delorean featured today(April
26th)on MTV's sister station "M2". It had the women who presents the
videos sitting on top of one of the cars from "BTTF". Didn't have time
to listen to get any background on why it was on there but i did catch a
big "BTTF" banner in the background. Any idea why there would be one of
these cars in NYC at the MTV studio's? Did anyone get the chance to
catch it?

There's a picture of an interesting custom DeLorean at:

The car is red and the taillights have been replaced with
those of a Ferrari!  Looks very strange!  Also, the louvers

Here are the websites for the generic aux-input capable car stereos that
I've found:

www.poweracoustik.com
www.blaupunkt.com
www.audiovox.com
www.panasonic.com

Radio Shack also sells a shaft-mount unit with a front-panel aux in, but
their website doesn't have any info; I saw it in a recent mailer.

Besides Radio Shack, and a couple Audiovox units, you'll have to cut a hole
in your console face to fit the stereo.  This isn't that bad if you have a
small rotary tool, a steady hand, and a cutting disc.  The Blaupunkt units
have the aux-input in the back which is much nicer for my setup.  I have a
Blaupunkt Apsen and a laptop playing MP3s connected to the rear.

Good luck!

Does anyone know if the DeLorean being raffled off at:

was actually won?  The raffle was supposed to be last
month.  It'd be interesting to know who got the car and
how many tickets they bought (i.e., how much they "paid"

my original post was a couple of weeks after Clare first contacted me due to
the problems with the DML. Unfortunately she hasn't replied - maybe it's
something to do with her term-times (maybe she's gone home to Ireland), but I
will certainly keep you all posted.

I too never saw those pictures, as I think Clare didn't either!

    I purchased a DeLorean raffle ticket from Chad Sorce.  The cost was
$40.  My ticket number was 504.  At the time, Chad Sorce had said that he
expected to sell at least another 100 tickets.  I recently e-mailed him
asking him who won.  His response was that he will post the results on the
web page as soon as he recieves permission from the winner to use her name
in public.  He said, "All I can tell you right now is the winner came from
Honey Creek Wisc."  I doubt the whole thing was a scam, but I do feel that
her name should be posted with a picture of her standing next to her
prize....

I have hooked up a 10 disc CD changer and mounted it on the rear shelf.  Hook 
up is a snap to the origional radio.  Sounds great too.  And if I needed to 
take it out for origionality, about five minutes.

Mike,
If your D reaches 220, I bet your fans are NOT coming on. Check your fan diode
located in the relay comparment. My D never gets above 150 on the gage. When it
warms up I can hear the fans cut in and watch the temp gage drop 5-10 degrees
and then they cut out.

I fitted a Sonycdx81 to my Delorean the head unit fitted with no adjustment 
and the auto changer fits perfectly under the bonnet (vertical against the 
bulk head) the problem I had was the rear speakers .They are so hard to get 
too ,and after you do the original Craig ones are such an odd shape! I had to 
spend a few weeks making new cradles for them from "Plastimole"
The result though was great and I kept all the old stuff to keep everyone 
happy if I ever sell!

  I called up their office a day before the rafel and used my credit card
to pay $100 for three tickets. I asked for confermation via e-mail of the
ticket numbers. I neither got confermation, nor have I seen the charge on
my credit card bill. Last I looked, they hadn't updated their web page
with any of the information they stated that they would provide. (reason I
waited so long to get my tickets, I was waiting for the illusive info.)
   I too would be interested in finding out the dirt on that car.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I was under the impression that the 
DeLorean doesn't have any computers as we normally think of them. At
least nothing with a microprocessor and memory. Just some ciruits that
work as parts of feedback loops in the engine control system.

Dear List,
    The site where the pictures of the wreck were supposed to be
(http://www.angelfire.com/mi2/delorean/index2.html) was setup weird.  I don't
know how they worked it, but when I clicked on the hyperlinked text, all I got
was a blank page.  My brother advised me that if I typed in the word
"toolbar.html" over where "index2.html" was in the address that it would then
work, and it did.  I then got to the photo gallery page where the pictures were
supposed to be, and they were not there.  I asked the owner of that page to send
me a copy of the pix via e-mail, but when he sent them, they arrived in an
unreadable format.  The specific error I got was "invalid header".  I don't know
what this means, but I know that the picture would not open up.
    I got tired of the wild goose chase, so I got on the East Lansing police
station site, and viewed the picture they had of the tragedy.  They also included
a copyright notice on the picture, so you'll have to go to that site and check it
out for yourself.  I hope my URL listing works!  By the way, it's only worth
seeing if you feel like getting really upset over the wanton destruction of the
most fabulous car ever built. (reminiscent of the tragic scene at the end of BTTF
III)
Never-the-less, perhaps viewing it will encourage us all to further understand
the importance of a good safe parking place for our one-of-a-kind cars at all
times.  It will have been a total loss only if we fail to learn nothing from it!

Neil,
The fix is to replace the bushing with a new one. To replace it you don't
remove the steering wheel, you remove the steering column.

Installing a Lo-Jack system in a DeLorean is like wearing a parachute on a
major airline. Insurance company statistics indicate that car thieves avoid
exotic cars especially the DeLorean.

The Lo-Jack system is without a doubt the best vehicle recovery system
available, it should be no more difficult to install in a DeLorean than in
any other car, I just don't think it would ever be used.

Michel,
The problem with your cooling system is air trapped in the coolant lines.
Air bleed the cooling system and your "D" will run nice and cool.

Saw the same "#2 prototype" car at a Detroit auction over the week-end. It
is 
the same car  
that was purchased by a Detroit car dealer at the Las Vegas auction for  
$10,000. It has sliding windows...a differently designed engine 
cover...front air intake, etc. Bidding for the car did not meet the reserve 
but I noticed from the "still for sale" tag placed on the car after the 
bidding had ended that the dealer who owns it is now asking $14,000. Pretty 
inexpensive for a major piece of automotive history (I guess I'm biased).  
There appeared to be mainly dealers at this auction so they were not 
interested in this kind of investment and most of the non-dealer types at
the 
auction could have been put off by the ill fitting doors and body panels,
etc. 
although the car was drawing a lot of lookers.

Lee,
Concerning owners who say they have no problems with the plastic clutch
line, I present the following challenge. 

Drive your "D" for at least one hour during a hot summer day; 95 degrees F
plus. Than enter a big city downtown traffic jam with stop & go traffic for
another hour. If at that point you can shift the car without gear clash or
not being able to shift gears at all, I would be very surprised.

The fact of the matter is that the plastic line will start to expand under
very high heat conditions and constant pedal action.

I just wanted to invite everybody to my new page with pics of the turned over 
DeLorean that was vandalized during the East Lansing Riot. It is a very 
archaic site and I cant promise that all of the pics are working at the 
moment, but none-the-less its up. They are there for you to enjoy so please 
feel free to stop by. You may visit it at:

Enjoy,


Justin
