Subject: Re: More Miami Vice DeLoreans
[MODERATOR NOTE: I am allowing this post only because
its descriptions will help DML subscribers who like
to seek out DeLorean appearances on TV shows. This
is *not* an invitation to create a lengthy thread on
the subject. Gentlemen, this case is closed.]
Yes, the other episode is titled "Indian Wars", and it's from the 4th
season (87/88). The DeLorean featured is on screen for about 2
minutes and it belongs to one of the henchmen of a big drug kingpin.
Like you said, Castillo is also in the scene but he never touches the
car. He has his own cool ride - a black Lambourghini Jalpa.
Glades is also a great episode. The premise of that is Crockett and
Tubbs travel to this town in the middle of the everglades to
intercept a drug shipment. All the DeLoreans in that town obviously
belong to other drug dealers who are waiting for the same shipment,
but the locals get suspicious of Crockett and Tubbs and lots of
shooting and stuff ensues. Ignoring all the 80's stereotypes, Glades
is probably one of the best episodes of Vice you'll see. Very cool
stuff.

Subject: Re: Carpet Adhesive?
Do not use a contact adhesive. You should use something that while
holding down the carpet securely you could still peel the carpet off
in the future just in case. Some glues are so good that the carpet
will rip to shreds if you try to get it out later. Go to the auto
supply and get some spray trim adhesive and test it on something
first. The carpet on the horizontal surface behind the seats dosen't
get glued down.

Dave,
I am not talking about gluing the whole piece in place. I saw on the
original one that is in there, that it is glued along the top edge on both
sides of it, just about a 1 1/2 inch wide strip along the top that holds
it
in place. Thats all I wanted to know about with the adhesive. I also
noticed that on the carpet that goes under the seats they used some kind
of
glue to hold it to the fibreglass up front.
Later,

Subject: Re: Auto Trans Problems
I can understand your bewilderment. Check out the other end, the end
where the wire from the solenoids goes into the large plug. Remove
the clip where the wire enters and then unscrew each wire from under the
bananna connecters. Leave the wire in place in the car and remove
the wire from the new computer. Install the old wire into the new
computer plug correctly.
Although you can do this I recommend that you DO drop
the pan just so you can look inside. Don't forget there is a magnet
inside in the pan and you can't examine it unless you drop the pan.
Do not overtighten the pan screws as they are only in aluminum and can
strip out very easily. You may be able to reuse the pan gasket if it
isn't too dried out.
Unless the fluid is really clean you should
replace it but remember it's only about 3 quarts and the trans holds
much more that you can't get out, it's mostly in the torque converter.
Unless it's really gunky inside you should't have to touch the filter.

Subject: Public comments on DeLorean Cars
We must do things a little differently in the UK. The only negative
comments I receive when out driving my D are concerning the £80 odd
million funded by the British taxpayer.
The most popular comment is "well I've never seen one on the road".
"The body is aluminium isn't it?"
"What's it like to drive?"
They all get treated to a five minute lecture and go away knowing a lot
more positive stuff than before!
I love all the attention!!!! That's where I get my biggest kick, watching
the dropping jaws as I cruse along.
I have been into classic cars for 30 years and nothing, absolutely NOTHING
gets as much attention as our beloved De Lorean.
