Delorean Appreciation

Took the Delorean to Wendys a few hours ago. While in line the cashier was talking to me about the car how he alwasy wanted a Delorean. The drivers door was up while going thru the drive thru.
Some girl around 19 got out of her car and went up to take a closer look and said, […]

Delorean Overheating Update

After filling the car with more coolant the overheating problem was fixed. I’m still going to get a fan fail fix for the Delorean to prevent this terrible event from every happening again.

People Love Deloreans Sometimes

Mike, Vlad2 and I went to Steve’s Pizza to get a couple of slices. I got the best parking spot at the place right up front. Which made me able to watch people look and admire the Delorean.
I opened the door for a few people that wanted to see it go up. One middle-aged lady […]

Delorean Overheating and Coolant Hose Burst

I was driving on I-95 this morning and I start to hear a strange noise. I look at the engine temp and it’s in the middle of the orange so I get worried and pull off at the next exit. I pull into a 7-11 and open my gull-wing door and see that hot steam […]

Replaced Fuses In Delorean

I received my package from SpecialTAuto which included oil filters, spark plugs, wires, fuses, relays, air filter, brake pads, bleed screws and the oil screw. I replaced all the fuses in the Delorean so far and about to replace the relays once i confirm where each one them goes.
I tested the windshield wipers and they now work with the […]

Delorean Has A Flat Tire

The rear passenger tire is flat. I had to put air in it twice because it was a little low and haven’t got around to checking to see if it needed to be plugged or replaced.
I’ll probably get a can of fix-a-flat and take it to the gas station to put air and get the […]

Picture Of My Dog In Delorean

Took a couple of pictures of my dog inside the Delorean. I think he looks like a miniature version of Einstein from Back To The Future.

Windshield Washer Problem

I purchased some Mr. Clean windshield washer fluid for the Delorean because the windshield washer reservoir was practically empty.
It’s most likely just a fuse that needs to be replaced. Cleaning the contacts of the fuse might solve the problem. But since I’m replacing them all anyways and not driving the car, I’ll just wait for […]

Back to the Future 4 Playing In Sliders Episode

I just finished watching Sliders episode 42 “The Breeder” which is the one about Maggie’s carrying an alien egg thats incubating inside her and young adults are used as guinea pigs in a mandatory organ-donor program.
I’d say within the first 10 minutes of the episode I noticed in the theatre marquee in the background Back […]

Delorean Towers Meet

I went to Tower Shops where a few local Delorean owners met up to talk about the car and have some fun. Everyone was friendly and lots of people gathered around our cars with amazement. Alot of people was touching the car and leaning on it which didn’t make me to happy but it was […]

Delorean Shakes On Highway

While driving the Delorean to work the other day is when I noticed how bad the car shakes when it goes above 55mph. An alignment and balancing the tires should hopefully fix the shake. If not then I might need to also replace my mounts.

Delorean Pictures

Took some pictures of the Delorean at KGB.

The Delorean’s Headliner

The first thing I want to get started on in my Delorean Restoration is fixing the headliner. I think it’s a little warped and I’m not sure if it can be fixed easily. Currently it’s the biggest eyesore especially since when the door opens everyone can see the headliner.

Delorean Tire Pressure

My pal Roman noticed that my right rear tire was very low. I was unsure how much pressure should be in the tires. After checking DMCTalk.com I found out that in the glovebox it says 23 front and 30 rear.
 I didn’t like the idea of the front tires only having 23 psi so I put […]
