Okay, I posted a note about inaccurate subject lines last week, and up til now I
have been either fixing them on my own or returning them to the sender for
correction and re-posting.
Everyone PLEASE pay attention to your subject lines. The DeLorean Mailing List
now has over 400 subscribers and it MUST be moderated to keep the "signal-to-noise"
ratio acceptable. All messages with inaccurate subjects will be returned and you
will have to correct it and re-post it to the list. It's nothing personal against
anyone, it's simply a matter of the moderator (me) effectively using my time vesus
the contributor (you) effectively using your mind/typing fingers.
Thank you.

Subject: Fires
One potential source of a fire in a DeLorean is the fuel injection lines. My
wife and I were driving down a gravel road in central Minnesota a couple of
summers ago when I noticed some orange flickering in the rear view mirror.
Hitting the brakes (hard!) without the clutch killed the engine (and the fuel
pump!). You never saw a pair of gullwing doors go up so fast in your life.
Fortunately, we had some pop cans in the car that were sufficient to put out
the fire. Diet Dr. Pepper (shaken, not stirred) is a pretty effective fire
retardent. The fire must have just started, as the only damage was a little
soot on the engine cover and some melted insulation on the cold start injector
harness. The cause turned out to be a small leak around the banjo clips that
secure the fuel injection lines from the fuel distributor to the injector. As
a precaution, we removed all of the injection lines and inspected them for
cracks - we found 2 that needed to be replaced (replacements are available
from Volvo). Now all of our cars have fire extinguishers in prominent places,
even the new ones.

Amazingly enough, a DeLorean also has enough room for a 6'5 woman! (Theoretically
speaking, I've never seen this tested).
You should have no trouble fitting in a DeLorean, Dan. Actually you will find in
much easier to get into/out of a DeLorean than a typical sports car because of
the gullwing doors. I'm 6'1 and I sometimes bump my head on the door frame of
my SO's Porsche, but never my DeLorean. So I would say the DeLorean is the best
sports car ever made for a tall person.

Subject: Re: Cracked Dash/Dash Removal
While in Los Angeles recently, I drove by a place in Van Nuys called "Just
Dashes" at 5941 Lemona Avenue, (Zip code 91411), phone 800-247-3274. They were
very nice and spent some time showing me their operation and gave me some
information on their services. I also have a small crack in my speaker grille,
and they seemed confident they could fix it with a thermo-vacuum covering that
would then be dyed to match.
There is another place that I read about in Hemmings up in Medford, Oregon (in
your neck of the woods, Knut?) called Dash Specialists at 1910 Redbud Lane
(541-776-0040). Ihave no other informtaion about this comapny.
The problem is that the dash must be removed from the car...and I understand
that to be no small undertaking. I am under the impression that dash removal.
installation requires removal of the windshield, which in and of itself is no
small undertaking. Does anyone have experience in the area of dash removal?

Gentlemen:
CRACKED DASHES
As for the cracked dash in the speaker grille areas, I did some research...Just
Dashes, Inc., Van Nuys, will repair the dash for around $480. Thermo-vacuum the
whole thing. KAPAC, sells a brand new dash for around $320. Either way, you will
have to remove the dash.
I dont know how many dashes are left at KAPAC, however, at that price, it is very
reasonable. Most likely buy one from them...until I am ready for that concourse
resto.
FOR TIME BEING...
I looked at some speaker grilles to cover the cracked area for the time being.
They are very hard to find...most 3.5 inch speakers dont come with grilles. The
width measurement of the RH speaker area (on top, dash) is 4 inches...from edge
of glove box to pillar.
Looked at 4 inch speaker grilles...they far exceed the area width available...
speaker size is 4 inches...matching grilles will be about 4.5 inches. There is
no room...at least on the RH side.
I found some 3.5 inch grilles though...in Crutchfield. They are on the Kenwood's
KSC-7702 and KSC-9903 truck speaker boxes. Those grilles are black mesh and
pretty nice looking. It is likely that the grilles can be ordered from a Kenwood
dealer. I will look into to this further.

I am planning on attending the Euro-Fest in Belfast. I purchased my RT airfare
yesterday from CPTT in San Francisco. 1.800.282.2188
RT airfare from SF to BFS (Belfast) flying British Airways is $784 including
all taxes
This was the best fare I was able to find, Flying 5/21/97 & 5/25/97.
Aer Lingus (Irelands National Airline) is already booked for that week, and
the discount seats are filling rapidly.
Unfortunately, I do not have extra time to stretch this trip out.
Get your passport in order, that is the first question I was asked when I booked
my flight.
Looking forward to meeting my fellow owners in May.

You don't have to remove the windshield to remove the dash pad but there is a
stud in the pad that is easy to catch on the console so you might want to remove
it just to make sure you don't have any problems.!!!!!

I take issue with your statement . . . mine ( vin 16000 '83 ) is virtually
new, has been regularly maintained ( full records available ) and is for
sale . . . for $25,000 - no haggling, no discussions! In fact one admirer
just today was commenting on how he would love having a D and all I said
was 25K and it's yours . . . he is going to get back to me. The point that
I am attempting to make is that if you can't maintain a D, or similar
collectible, then perhaps the person simply should not own one. They used
to say about Tiffany's, in NYC, if you have to ask the price then you can't
afford it. I'm really a little tired of, as some member of this list did,
reading about owners trying to prove that the D is not worth what people think
that it is. Beauty, and value, are in the eye of the beholder. 'nuff said.

Please excuse my statement on "Can a DeLorean fit a 6'5" MAN. Kindly respect
this as a 6'5" person. Also I would like to thank all of the people, man and

/ Email Address
I finally have the alarm in my DeLorean functioning properly, although I had to
wire the constant positive and negative leads from the siren/control unit
directly to the battery posts. In the process I have discovered that I likely
have the negative battery cable corroding where it contacts the frame as I lost
all power to the car while moving the battery in and out to wire everythign up.
I'll check and attend to that problem later though.
For now, I am curious about a somewhat related subject. I am thinking of trying
to take some stress off my alternator this summer by purchasing a solar-powered
battery charger to keep in the car and plug in every so often. My only questions
are 1) will this be much help or just look silly and add to the car's mystique
even further AND 2) will such a system be incompatible with a car alarm?
Also, some people may have noticed my absence from the list for a while. During
the holiday season I moved from Jefferson City, Missouri to Columbia, which is
30 miles north. I am just now getting settled in and returning to the 'Net on
a regular basis. I cancelled my account with my local ISP and am now using
GullWinged@aol.com as my email address instead of stormrider@socketis.net.
This is only a temporary solution until I find a national ISP that is very
friendly to Macintosh users and has a local access number for Columbia. I'll
post another email address when I get one, until then just use the AOL address
stated above.
Thanks everyone!

Subject: Third Brakelight -vs- Concours Judging
The idea of a third brake light seems to be great. I am concerned about what
affect this fantastic safety item might have during Concourse Judging. It
would be a shame if you lost points for such an obvious safety improvement.
How could we get the rules changed so a deduct would not be taken?
I think that if it is a good clean unobtrusive installation, it should just be
considered part of the Brake light system.
My 1981 still needs the safety recalls performed, it is in as bought from the
dealer condition with 13,000 miles. I would like to drive it more but am very
concerned about visibility, but do not want to make any modifications from
original that would affect its score when I am able to enter it in the annual
Concourse Competition.
Anyone else have any thoughts or wisdom on this subject?

I also concur with that statement. Anytime someone asks about the car the topic
invariably leads to the choice of powerplant. The person is always surprised to
learn that it is the European PRV, aka Volvo V6. More than half the time people
claim they thought it had a Ford V8, but I always correct them and pop the
engine lid to prove otherwise.

You and I don't really think that much apart. My car would not be sold for a
penney under $25,000.00, but the difference is that you and I maintain our
vehicles. Unfortunately, many of our fellow owners, either through neglect,
unable to afford to do it properly, or whatever, DO NOT, maintain their cars.
Not only do they not maintain them, but they insist on putting on inferior,
foreign,and strange adaptions, for parts that for the most part, are readily
available. I havd observed quite a few cars (DMC's) at dealers lots, and have
examined the condition of the cars that are selling in the area of $20,000.00.
They are in shamefull condition ! Wires holding parts together, parts missing,
dirty, filty, torn leather, etc.
They had what they deserved, junk, that was sold to a dealer. Stan

It has come to my attention that the DeLorean FAQ could be construed as an
official publication of the DeLorean Owners Association. The FAQ is a
publication of Regional Chapter 41 and is not a sanctioned publication of
the DeLorean Owners Association nor does it speak for the association.
Although clearly stated in the "About" section of the FAQ, my use of the
complete chapter designation, including the DOA prefix, may have caused some
confusion.
I apologize for any confusion or misunderstanding caused by the materials
and will clarify this in a subsequent release of the FAQ. I also wish to

News to me. There is an electric motor that comes as an adjunct to a regular
turbo charger. It's pupose is to keep rpms up in the turbo so that
there is no turbo lag at lower speeds and or at gear shift changes. It is
offered as an aftermarket device, custom for you particular car, and is also
standard equipment on the Vector.
Again, I don't know manufacturer. If you are really into turbos, get TURBO
magazine. Loads of information.

The very definition of concours is "originality". The addition of a third brake
light violates the integrity of an "original" car, no matter how "clean" or
"unobtrusive" it looks.
I'm not going to argue the safety merits, I'm in agreement with you there, but
as far as concours goes, it's ridiculous to think the rules on how to judge an
"original" car will be changed in this regard. If memory serves, the max
enterior *modification* deduction is 5 points, and I can't
imagine how a third brake light would subject you to more than a 1 or 2 point
deduction. Check the concours rules at the DOA web page for more details.
Some time ago at a DOA board meeting when the concours rules were being
updated, the subject arose regarding the plastic overflow bottles - which
are generally considered to be unreliable - and whether or not points should
be deducted for having replaced this **even if you had the original bottle
with the car - just not installed**. It was decided that this was not
acceptable.

One has to wonder who benefits from keeping a Delorean totally original.
Sure the owner to a certain extent. But I am starting to wonder if all the
originality rules are not a way of keeping certain parts suppliers able to
sell their wares at sometimes outrageous prices, while at the same time selling
aftermarket items which do not conform to the "rules" of competition.
Another question is the close or overlapping relationship of certain parts
suppliers and the DOA. Just a thought, don't get hostile.

Bill and all,
I, too, don't understand how the Concours rules cannot accept safety features.
Hell, I got into two accidents and am thinking about getting a third Corvette
light. Now, in the interest of safety, why should this be a deduction? Maybe
that's a weak argument, but how about the safer aluminum coolant bottle?
This is why I'll never enter into a Concours. I love my car, but I'm not
sacrificing getting a CD player or a third brakelight or a safer coolant
bottle just to be a forgotten name in an annual issue of DeLorean World.

I don't think so. I believe they planned to use their web page as a catalog

Kapac essentially uses the DeLorean factory parts manual as a sort of catalog.
You call and give them a part number from the manual and they quote you a price.

Welcome to the world of classic cars, BILL. The DOA did not invent
"originality" concourse competitions, so don't blame the DOA, parts suppliers,
or Concourse sponsors. I have seen marques from Rolls-Royce to Chevy compete
on originality. My SO's father occasionally judges originality in Mercedes
competitions.
Frankly we're lucky the DOA has a concourse competition. If they didn't,
where would DeLorean owners go when we wanted a little appreciation for the

I have to agree with you -- I'd rather not sacrifice comfort, reliability, or
safety for the sake of originality. In saving for my future DeLorean, I have
always budgeted extra for a turbo installation, an alarm, and a nice high-powered
stereo. Now I'm planning to add a third brakelight (maybe one like the Acura NSX
has -- a strip of LEDs the length of the car) and some other items like the
coolant bottle, the Centerforce clutch, the factory luggage rack, etc.
On the other hand, even though I want to customize MY DeLorean, I'm glad there
are owners out there who want to keep things as original as possible. The
concours is for those people -- who are helping to preserve the history of
the marque. Imagine a time in the future when there may only be four or five
pristine examples of the DeLorean as it came from the factory! What a crime
that would be!
I don't want to see people bicker over "show dogs" and "mongrels" -- there
will always be purists, and there will always be customizers. If both groups
have an equal reverence for the car, then there will always be DeLoreans on
the streets. That way the DeLorean will stay in the public mind, and that
will benefit EVERYBODY -- owner and enthusiast alike.

I've been thinking about this comment all day at work. My opinion is that
this is a rather rude comment. Sorry, but what if someone just CAN'T keep
it up? My car's in great shape, but should I feel like I have to 'prove'
how I keep my car in good shape just so that I can be seen as a 'good
owner'? I have a friend in Washington State who has one and really spent
every last dime he could just to get it. Should he be looked down on because
he doesn't have the financial capability to keep it in good shape? On the
flip side, what does it matter if he WANTS to or not? Sorry, but I just
don't have the same attitude that because a certain collectable has a value
that people who don't take care of them should be reamed. I love my car,
but I can't enforce those views on others. It's their money, their car,
their life.

Subject: Re: Cracked dash fix???
Further on cracked dashes --
While tinting the windshield is illegal, there is a new film covering that
is perfectly clear. It stops (reflects back) 95% of UV rays and 55% of heat.
This should be *GREAT* for our DMCs'. At my altitude, UV is a big concern and
even with the airconditioner working well, our little interiors
can heat up very fast.
The film is more expensive than the tinted kind since the oxide used in it is
silver based. Many stores and home in my area have installed it. I don't know
of any cars yet, but I have seen the product advertised in The Robb Report.
It probably comes under various names, the one I have seen installed here is
"Solis".
When parked I also use a very attractive sunshade I got through John Truscott.
It is silver - matches the car and is a perfect fit. Comes with
a case for storage when not in use. (No more of those ugly cardboard "Call
Police" for our cars.)
