Been out of town the last 3 weeks backpacking Asia. While I was out of town I found out my dad went to get my cars upholstery fixed which kind of scared me because I don’t like anyone driving my Delorean but me.
They couldn’t figure out how to open the bonnet and I went over […]
Driving down I-95 this morning on the way to work, I noticed that i’m having some problems getting it into the gear. I put it into 5th and drive the rest of the way to work.
Approaching the exit ramp I put the DeLorean into 3rd gear, which gave me a hard time but i didn’t […]

Today I replaced the Delorean clutch line. Overall it was not a difficult task but it was a major pain at the same time. The total time to complete the project was 3 hrs 10 minutes. The hardest part was getting to the bleed screw and getting the clear tubing on the bleed screw. The […]
Left a light on for a few days and it killed the battery. There is a little juice left but not enough to start the car. My pal is most likely coming over tommorow to give me a jump and also replace my clutch line that has been sitting on my desk for the past […]
My friend is going to walk me through replacing the clutch line this Wednesday. I will take lots of pictures and video of the process and post the results afterwards. I’m going to Pep Boys to buy some brake fluid today.
I may not need a new clutch after all. After some research it seems like it might just be my plastic clutch line that is causing the problems and i need to upgrade to a braided clutch line. A much cheaper solution.
Talked with mechanic he said he adjusted the clutch and put in fluid to make it work but it needs to be replaced soon. I looked up the parts on SpecialTAuto and it’s under $300 for the entire clutch. I will most likely do this ASAP but I am also thinking about selling the car […]
The car came back from the mechanic today. I was only charged for labor and he did something to fix the clutch which i am not sure.
The problem is I wanted him to actually replace the clutch or whatever parts needed to be replaced and not adjust it. The car drives now. But it wants […]
Exactly 50 days from when I reported the clutch problem I am finally getting around to fixing the problem. I called my mechanic and he told me he take it in right away so AAA just picked up the Delorean and is bringing it to the mechanic as i type.
I told the mechanic that I […]
While driven the Delorean home on Friday I noticed it was getting increasingly more difficult to switch gears and impossible to get it into 1st gear without it grinding.
After some speculation, I believe the Clutch’s Master Cylinder needs to be replaced. Which i heard is not that expensive.
This is really pissing me off. What else […]
The Delorean has been parked for over a month now because of the alternator belt problem. I got it fixed today and will get to drive it again.
Fixed the belt along with a couple other small things and it costed $220 and used my AAA free towing.
I was considering selling it because it was just […]
The Delorean is still not being driven because of the alternator problem. I got the car registered and got AAA today. I’m going to call up DMC Florida and ask for a ruff quote and tell them i’ll be having the car towed to them as soon as possible.
Things I’m going to get done at […]
I remembered that the red battery light came on right before the car starting over heating and since the battery was now dead i decided to charge it. The car charger said the battery was at 10%. When it got up to 89% I hooked it back up to the Delorean. I filled the car […]
On my way to pick up my wife from work with the Delorean it starts to overheat 1 block away from the building. I pulled into a parking lot and inspected the problem and it seemed like the same Colant Hose Burst Problem I had last month. I was thinking I could fix it with some […]
