I, too have been a satisfied State Farm customer for years. When I got my D, I called them up and they added it to my policy at a very reasonable price without a blink.
However, it is essentially impossible to generalize about insurance companies. They set their policies based on complex criteria, including your age, your zip code, how long you have been a customer, your driving record, etc, etc. Moreover, these criteria are applied regionally, not nationally, and they are constantly shifting as companies target specific market segments via aggressive pricing while raising prices in other segments in hopes that existing customers will not bother to shop around. Add to this the variability in service attributable to the personality of your particular agent and it becomes clear that the situation is pretty chaotic.

Hi, I bought a DeLorean two months ago. It has a single turbo. First off,=

is at the far left, it never moves. Does anybody know exactly what these ar=

the originals are Craig speakers, available through both DMC Houston and PJ Grady for around 20 dollars a pair. I just replaced mine, not too fun to be honest.

A question for all UK D owners.
We have to fit a high intensity rear fog light to meet current MOT standards. Altering the rear lights is not a problem, but finding a switch to operate the lights from the interior that doesn't look out of place is.
What sort of switches have people used, have they been 'borrowed' from any particular car?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The answer to the question that someone posted asking is there molds left for the underbodies,,,,the answer is YES,,,,,,A friend of mine and I took massive amounts of pictures and video of this,,,,Last June he and I talked to Steven and he let us go up to the warehouse just to look around ourselves,,,of course there was two people there that work for Steven that was taking orders and shipping parts,,,after looking around the beautiful bunch of parts we decided to see what else we could get into and went down a few floors,,,,,the SENATOR,,,,being a good bullshiter got us out of trouble and actually got us a private tour of the molds by a strange little guard,,,this is a story in itself,,,how we found them we were of course where we probably weren't suppose to be and behind a fake wall there they sat,,,on a floor all alone,,,,a set for the top and a set for the bottom,,,,,,I don't know of course why these things were actually hidden but who knows,,,,and another story of our little trip before we saw the molds we were down in the basement of this place and there along with a Jag and another car I can't remember, is a DeLorean,,,dirty and in bad shape,,,,,there were some gauges on the knee pad that were extra and right below the vin plate there was another little plate,,,,I took a pic of this but the flash made it unreadable,,,I can't remember what it was,,,if anyone knows please share, I did manage to take a pic of the gauges on the knee pad right below the dash,,,don't know if an individual did this or this was something from the factory that they were adding,,,,to add to the mold story,,the guard told us that he had heard that the floor that the molds sat on was to be the assembly line,,,because they wanted to assemble the remaining parts into cars and sell them,,,in fact there are documents to which I wish I had copies that Marvin C. was looking for a company to make the stainless steal panels after they used up the remaining stock,,and of course we all know that this didn't come to pass,, hope you enjoyed this little story,,,,,,if anyone doesn't believe me about the molds,,,,I have many pics to prove the story,
Take care fellow D lovers,

_______________________________________________________________________ ________ There are 2 types of third brake lights, the one that your refering to is mounted to the louvers, on the roof of the car. I don't know what exact year Corvette it's from, but the main problem looks to be mounting it (looks to be epoxy). I'd probably go with the second type which is a thin strip of LED's attached w/double stick tape. Complete specs & installation procedures are locate in DMC-News Zine-001 which is available from the DMC News website.

In defense of the OEM horns and just for the record you should know that they sound great when they are new. After 18 years of being exposed to the elements they gradually loose sound quality and volume.

With profound regrets, I announce to the De Lorean owners community the death of Charles Muffley. Up until his recent illness, Charlie and Gladys were regular participants in shows along the east coast as well as Eastern Regional Runs.
Charlie was particularly known in our community for his aspirated De Lorean. He did the conversion himself. He prided himself in doing most of the work on his De Lorean without benefit of a lift or a garage. His inquisitiveness led him to do the conversion in the first place and then he converted it back to fuel injection.
He loved his De Lorean, his family, and life in general.
Charlie succumbed to cancer on September 27, 1999. Expressions of sympathy may be sent to:

Nigel,
I would guess (but don't know for sure) that you could convert one of the "= blanks" next to the window swithches into a working switch. I would try ge= tting another rear defroster switch (since this has distinct on/off positio= ns), and see if you can get it to work in either the far right or far left = slot.
If you attempt this, let me know if it works....

Dingo, your message has no email address so I'm sending this via the mail= ing list. Please respond via private email.
I'd guess the light bar your referring to is measuring the air fuel mix. = You may have a knock sensor installed that offered, as an option, a device = like you discribe. If you look in the space behind the drivers seat where t= he ECU unit is installed ( you have to lift the carpet in the rear shelf ar= ea and lift the wooden cover off ) and, looking at the area just behind the= drivers seat back, you should find a small electronic module made of black= plastic about 3 or 4 inches by about 5 inches mounted to the vertical wall= of the electronic cubicle. If you have that, you have the after market kno= ck sensor. There would be a wiring loom pluged into it and also a single sh= ielded wire plugged into it that goes to an oxygen sensor. If you find you = have all of this write back and I'll supply you with further info. As for t= he single turbo, most were kits produced by BAE, a defunct company in Calif= ornia that produced after market turbo kits for a variety of cars.There wer= e a few kits done by another fellow named Harry Ward. His kits blew through= the air intake where the air cleaner feeds the engine. The BAE kit is a 's= uck through' type and the stock air cleaner was left in place. If you give = me more details of your set up I can probably give you more information abo= ut your car.

Would it be possible to get another rear defroster switch and take off the white markings on the top of it and hook it up to the lights? That way you can put it in the centre console and it would not look out of place. Just a thought what does everyone else think?

Purchase a rear defogger switch part # 101638 and insert it in one of the dummy switch positions in the center consol.

Have you thought of buying a window switch and putting it in one of the two dummy positions in the center console? Actually, a rear defrost switch would be better but I remember those were hard to come by. Also, I wonder if anyone knows if the factory was planning to use these dummy switch slots for anything? Perhaps they were originally intended to hold switches to OPEN the doors? (ala Bricklin) Of course, I guess they could've also been for the oil slick and driver eject functions...
Ok...you're right..definately for the time circuits.

I was wondering, does the Delorean manual transmition spit out extra tranny fluid when it is over filled? the reason I ask this is because my Delorean spit some out over time when I filled it to the top (bad idea, i konw) but now it doesn;t spit it out at all. when I say spit, I mean about 10 drips after a long drive.

I have been able to thoroughly track the history of my Delorean back to 1987. What I am trying to find out now is the dealer that it was originally sold. I know that it was sold in San Francisco, CA.
If anyone still has their dealer book and can look up the dealers that sold the Deloreans in San Francisco and pass it along to me, I would greatly appreciate it.

Lar Andersson on elge-a@mail.bip.net or Lars-Goran.Andersson@viasystems.com has some very good ideas regarding a third brake light for the DeLorean. Perhaps better than what is available from the Corvette!!!

Sightler" <jsight@mindspring.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: [DML] Electrical system, ventilation, and radio questions from a newbie. Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
I've just got a Delorean shipped in from California via open truck. As expected, there have been a few little problems since receiving the vehicle.
First off, the ventilation system and electrical system seem to have a problem which may or may not be related. When we test drove the car earlier in California, the AC was not cold, but the ventilation was quite good. The fan was strong and the airflow from the vents seemed solid. Since bringing it into SC, however, the fan still seems to run strongly, and feeling the intake on the front of the car (in front of the windshield) it seems to pull strongly. However, the vents themselves produce very little airflow.
Also, earlier today while driving the car at night with the lighting on, the fan temporarily switched off. At first, I thought that it was a fuse failure, but a few minutes later I turned the fan back on and everything was fine again. It's like it just temporarily overloaded. But I also noticed that the one vent which was working earlier in the day failed after this "trip". Any ideas as to the cause of these two problems?
Finally, I ran into a problem because the radio seems to work, but the little LCD display doesn't. Has anyone else experienced this before, and if so what was the problem (loose/broken connection somewhere, etc). It is the original Delorean Craig radio.
Thanks,
