Subject: Looking for DMC Motor.
Does anyone have a rebuildable DMC motor they are willing to part with?
Somewhere close to NJ would be best.
I'd like one that runs.. High mileage is OK, but none that have been
overheated!
My motor has a cracked ring, but still runs OK. I'd like to start
rebuilding a
motor for replacement, but don't want to have the car out of service while
I
leisurely rebuild.
Please contact me directly.
Thanks,
Marc

Subject: Canadian Meet?
Attention: Ontario, Michigan, Ohio, N.Y., Quebec, etc., Delorean owners/
lovers/believers: Any interest in a May or June or "whenever", get
together in London, Ontario, Canada? University town , population
330,000, lots of motel space, great food, (fancy or simple), beautiful
large drive- through public park perfect for a static display, home of
Labatt's beer, 3M, horse races, slots, golf, close to Lake Erie beaches
(25 miles); 140 miles from Detroit; 75 miles from Port Huron, Mich; 175
miles from Buffalo, 1468 miles from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, perfect
roads from all points. A foreign country and we speak the same language!
Your U.S.A. $100.00 is worth about $150.00 Canadian.
Never done this before, but may be interesting and possible if I can get
some volunteers to help.
Please contact me privately. I do not want to overlap any other meet(s)
being planned that are reachable by the areas mentioned.
Just a thought!!.

Subject: Re: Renault Engines? Alpine A310, cousin of the DeLorean.
Other then the exhaust system, and possibly fuel injection and
manifolds, are there any differances between the engines used in the
Alpines and the stock PRV's used in the D? According to an online
listing, one of the factory owned Alpines is currently for sale for
£7,500. The owner states that the car has approx 200hp. From a photo
of the car, the motor appears to be equipped with a K-Jetronic
system. Does anyone know how this car was modified (new cams, higher
compression, etc...)? Other versions of the PRV configuration that
I've seen have been 3 double barrel Webber carbs, and 6 single barrel
carbs. In otherwords, and the any mods that the Alpine A310 has that
could be applied to the DeLorean?

Subject: Re: Door Handles
Dennis,
Are your scratches coming from a replacement metal door handle or an OEM
plastic one?
My passenger door has a replacement metal one that has scratched the door
very slightly on the front edge. As long as I don't use gorilla force
pulling the door handle, then it doesn't touch. I suppose I could file a
speck off the back, but then that would expose bare metal. Otherwise I
see
no adjustments.
The OEM plastic handle on my driver's door doesn't scratch.
The last time I had my passenger door apart, I noticed that the door
handle
mechanism is held to the stainless skin by two penetrating threaded studs
with Nylox nuts. One of these nuts was loose. I tried to tighten it, and
the stud effortlessly snapped right off -- damn it! The mechanism seems
to
work fine with only one stud holding it, though.
I noticed that the replacement metal handle has a flat black finish that
does not match the door molding as well as the OEM plastic handle. It's
just an observation, but it's not very obvious.
Since James Espey was bragging about the new handles, I just had to have a
set. I talked to Warren at DMC Houston today to order them. He says that
the new batch is waiting at customs and he should be able to ship them
later
this week. I'll let you know how I like them, but considering the
long-winded motor mouth that I am, that goes without saying :-)

Hello List! Just wanted to let you know that although the DSI is currently
closed, I am available to DeLorean owners interested in the products and
accessories we sold in the mid '80's and early '90's. Some items are still
available and the balance of the inventory is in storage. Fred Lockett
