The scissor door is quite different from the gullwing door. While opening, the scissor door rotates about the compound angle door hinge and ends up mostly forward of the door opening rather than above it. Unlike the gullwing door, which is hinged at the top, the scissor door is hinged at the front. However, like the gullwing door, the scissor door, when opened, remains much closer to the car body than does a "conventional" door. When the gullwing door is open it rests somewhat perpendicular to the plane of the roof. When the scissor door is open it rests mostly parallel to, mostly forward of, and slightly elevated above the door opening, with the leading edge of the door pointing at an angle downward. I believe the Lamborghini Countach, among others, used the scissor door.

I just got my copy of the Checker Auto Parts 2000 Calendar today, and March is looking like a very good month!
My DeLorean is the newest car in the calendar by about 12 years, with the other cars ranging from a '38 Plymouth to a '70 Chevelle. All the photos are just stunning in regards to the backgrounds, and all the months feature a photo of the owner as well as the engine compartment.
I will be going to Phoenix for the weekend, and I will be picking up some extra copies. Anyone that would like me to get them one, let me know by about 2pm Thursday (11/18) afternoon. The calendars cost $1, and mailing (to a US address) would be less than that.

Hi Group,
I am not a DeLorean owner, but I feel that I have a valid opinion when it comes to DeLoreans. I believe that the new DeLorean, if ever produced, should look like the original DeLorean. I'm sure it can be designed, it just needs a 90's twist to it. I have faith in JZD, I don't think he'd step completely away from the original style of the D, but then again, that's just my opinion.

Is the performance increase noticable after fitting a single turbo?
what are the 0-60 times?
When in rpm does it start to 'whistle'
how much to fit?
Would you have gone for the twin's or is this more than enough?
Thanks in advance
thanks
Chris
----Original Message Follows----
My car isn't an early one (vin# 6938) but when I turbocharged it with a single turbo about 40,000 miles back I installed a glass pack muffler which is considerably smaller in diameter than the stock Walker muffler. I removed the heat sheild at that time and have had no ill effects. Admittedly, the smaller muffler dissipates the heat further from the engine than the stock muffler.

It's not that the frame breaks, it's that the frame is not rigid enough to handle the forces induced by a high-torque or high- horsepower application. Handling is adversely affected if you are continuously lifting the left front wheel off the pavement when applying power out of a curve.

Having owned a Lamborghini Countach (bright yellow!) I can confirm the door arrangement. The scissor door is not remotely like our DMC gullwing arrangement, not even close.
It is worth mentioning that there have been several concept cars with True gullwing arrangements, but only the 300-SL and DMC-12 were ever in production...oh forgot the other one, Bowhinky, Burtromed, or was that a scared Nash rambler, well some thing like that had a very leaky gull wing as well.

"Stainless" High Carbon steel, while it has many favorable attributes such as it's ability to resist the chemical reaction we affectionally call rusting, has trade-offs, especially in areas of strength, tensile, shear etc. and reacts differently at dif. temps. Before voting on this poll I would be interested in engineering reports on the safety of a stainless steel "D" frame.

Hi All,
Just a passing note on DMC-12 cooling.
The cooling problems of the DMC-12 are well known and documented Including a very inexpensive minor modification out lined in a Delorean world magazine article. The NCDMC recently had a "Bleed Kit Party" in which members received the kits. So far the two that were installed have worked to perfection and eliminated any chance of an "Air locked coolant problem". An air lock is probably the most common reason that the DMC over heats, and for some the hardest to correct. In most cases once any substantial air is trapped in the coolant system, the over heating starts and as time passes, becomes worse. Bleeding and refilling the coolant system was the only way to resolve this problem. Add to this that an air lock can form with out any opening or unsealing of the coolant system due to cavitation, even the best maintained DMC-12 may develop heating problems. Past replacement of the stock radiator with the metal double core unit the bleed kit is the only practical solution that I am aware of.
How it Works!
The bleed kit is installed at the Bleed Screw Part # 10214, mounted in the Thermostat cover part # 102140 (on the water pump) and connects the heater Bleed hose part # 101760 that is a "tee" off the Heater hose and vents into the Header Bottle part # 101944. When the engine is running any entrapped air is entrained into the system coolant and each time the engine speed drops past a certain point tends to accumulate in any high spots in the coolant system. One of these is the water pump. when the bleed kit is installed any entrapped air at the water pump passes through the bleed screw to the Heater bleed hose and then into the Header bottle which is now the highest point in the pressurized coolant system. Each time the coolant is accelerated threw the system any entrained air is circulated around the system until it is all bled off through the bleed kit. When I first got my DMC it was a classic case of heating problems. Once it had been manually bled several times the temp stayed lower but still tended to climb in stop and go town traffic, but did not over heat. Now with the bleed kit installed it reaches normal operation level and stays there town or high way conditions. This is a system modification and I suspect that it will cost you points in any concourse show.

Hello again,
(I know Tamir, on his website, has a note from Delorean stating that he is planning on building another car...)
I have read a number of different e-mails concerning this "new dmc" that is 'supposed' to be comming out. Other than hype is there ANY current evidence that there are plans to design a new sports car?
I looked at the www.delorean.com site and there is not alot of info there...
just curious...

If he does make a new car, I would like to see it in the same idea asthe original but he could put a larger engine, definatly the Gullwings and stainless steel, but the whole car could be more rounded, i love the way our 81 looks, but the front end could use a little more redesigning. tjohnson #6974

I just got done watching E! True Hollywood Story on John DeLorean and I was
wondering......(I know this is probably a stupid question)...but does John
DeLorean own one of his own cars. I have never heard anything or seen any VIN
#'s. Does he own one? I would think he surely would, but can anyone clarify?
Thanks.

Christopher,
I installed a single BAE turbo on my D in the early 80's. 0 to 60 was about 12 sec., after the turbo was installed it dropped to about 7 sec. on 5 lbs of boost. The engine comes on the boost at about 3000 rpm's.

Mike,
Just some days ago (7th November) I posted a mail which dealt with exactly this subject. Take a look at the backissues (or your email folder). Perhaps someone can confirm the colors which I mentioned there, only to be sure? Joe...?

There is another way to get around this problem. Move to the country near a town of 1500 people, miles from a major city, where there is no smog testing. It worked for me, and there are lots of other benefits if you value your (remaining) sanity.

I am taking the DeLorean from Colorado to North Carolina starting this Saturday (through St. Louis then Nasheville). if anyone is interested in linking up on the way, let me know.
I also picked up 10 copies of the Calendar that features James as "Mr. March" (along with his car...if anyone cares about the car, and is not just interested is seeing a picture of James) :)
If anyone needs one, let me know. At $1.00 a peace, I don't really care about getting any $$ out of anyone for a copy (would probably be more of a hastle than it is worth).
Let me know!

If so what is the product number I should be looking up? $20,000 for a Northstar is a bit much for me right now (someday i guarentee 4512 will be powered by that beast!!) but I need....MORE POWER. thanks alot

Is removing and reinstalling the fuel accumulator an easy task for someone who is not mechanically inclined? Or should I not attempt it, and just have a mechanic do it?
