Subject: Noisy horns. (Or not.)

Frank, Steve, and others who were talking about the horns:

If you really want to be loud, I know it's possible to mount airhorns
behind the grilles of some modern cars. I think the kits cost anywhere
from $50 to as much as you want to spend. Most people mount them inside
the engine compartment and point them through the grille. How would this
be done in a DeLorean? Extra long cables, perhaps? Has anybody done it?
That should help you along with the testosterone poisoning, if that
really is your wish. Just pure idle speculation on my part. Personally I
don't think I would worry about the horn, but it's an interesting
thought.

Then again if you mount airhorns on your DeLorean, they could possibly
drown out the engine. Might not be too good if you're concerned with
testosterone. ;)

Maybe you could put airbrakes on the DeLorean, too, so when you pull up
to somebody at a light you can go "psssssssshhhh." :D

Take care, all ...

I would stay with the Yokahamas if at all possible.  They seem to be the
tire of choice for most of us.

Are you sure?  When the engine is off, my gauge tends to rest where it was
when the car was running.  I don't call this working while the engine is
off; I call it rigor mortis.

Subject: porting, polishing & chroming intake manifold

I certainly don't have time to do this anytime soon, but I've spent enough
time thinking about it that I thought I would ask some advice & opinions.

I have an extra intake manifold & Y-pipe that I would like to have tricked
out since I'm going to have my engine apart anyway to replace those leaky
water pump hoses that can't be reached while assembled.  The last thing I
want to do is put it back together the way it is now -- as rough as a cob,
corroded, dull & gray.  I'm thinking about polishing the Y-pipe (which of
course entails grinding down all the roughness & raised lettering - a lot of
work).  I want it to look as shiny as pieces of a polished chrome P-trap
from under a sink.  Would a finish like this hold up well?  Or would I be
better off just painting or powdercoating?  How about anodizing?

I've seen a photo of something like this on Don Steger's web site, but the
FX makes it hard to see.  http://www.deloreanmotorcenter.com/restoration.htm
Does anyone have any other photos of this or anything similar?  Please send
me some links or photos directly.

The insides are pretty rough too, and I'm wondering if there would be any
benefits from polishing there too.  Is this what they mean by porting &
polishing?  My guess is that it wouldn't even amount to a 1hp increase, but
that's just my guess.  Does anyone else know better?

BTW, I'm also considering a different design for the throttle spool cover
that would fit UNDER the Y-pipe.  The OEM one just looks like it doesn't
belong there and unbalances the symetry.

Bob - The "barn relic" that I mentioned in a previous post has
Yokohama AVS-db tires on it.  These are an all-new tire that is very
impressive from all aspects.  I also installed a set on my daily
driver (Dodge Intrepid).  I really like these tires, from a dry and
wet handling perspective.  My next set of tires on Winged1 will be
these tires, as well.  You might want to check them out.

Subject: Re: Open doors?

When I go to car shows I leave the doors up and people are immediatly
drawn to the car. Since it is one of the trademark features of the car
it makes it instantly recognizable. The Delorean is one of the FEW
cars that are displayed with open doors being among Lamborginis,
Mercedes, BMW, and assorted other Orphan Marques. This puts it in a
special class with these other exotic cars which is why a painted
Delorean is an oxymoron (IMHO). This does cause the problem of keeping
people out (some seem to take an open door as an invitation) so I keep
a trophy on 1 seat and Einstein on the other. This isn't a perfect
solution as once a small kid bear-hugged Einstein and wouldn't let go
till the parents pulled it away from him! Just install a battery
switch so you can shut the car down, and stick any small stuff
including the cig lighter into the "vault".

Hmmm...the GM alternator that I installed has two seperate wires.
One for the light and one for the sense. It was an easy splice since
I had an old Ducy in there. My alternator is a 105amp unit from a

They automatically adjust with the use of tensioners. It is true

Same reason why rodders leave their hoods open (or take the hood
off) to show off what's under it. With a Delorean it's showing it
off at what it can do. Lambo, Bricklin, etc.. owners do it with
their cars too.

Hell when my car was in peices and the only thing left on the car
were the doors...I opened them up...showed them off to my neighbors

Sure, Mike, I'd be glad to tell everyone the correct way to install door openers - just send $199 plus $5 postage and I'll make it very clear.

Seriously, I can't help but wonder why someone who has jerry-rigged maybe one set, then had to go back and re-do it because it didn't work right, would be taking me to task on this when I have successfully sold and installed dozens of kits over the last 10-12 years WITHOUT A SINGLE FAILURE OR COMPLAINT.  If you truly think your idea is better then go for it, but please don't tell me my method is inferior, or won't work.  As one satisfied customer pointed out it is simple, compact, and reliable.  You stated "Your door handles inner and outer are the easiest places to pull from.  Unfortunately you can't put your actuator or solenoid there."  Really?  Says who?  That happens to be exactly the correct place to pull from.  "I had tapped into the upper armature to open the doors with the my old 15's with the 50's I had to relocate to the bottom part of the armature."  What armature?  The only armature in the door is inside of the window motor.

My actuators, which are fairly common, are rated at 12-15lbs of pull.  When I get my newly acquired #2323 car home I plan to test the required pull weight of the door opening linkage and put this issue to bed.  I have never said that heavy solenoids won't work because they will, but they are not necessary or reliable.  I'm always open to ideas for improvements in my products, but unless you have a proven, reliable, and inexpensive solution I think I will stick with one that is.

Sorry if I'm a little testier than usual but I just got out of surgery yesterday and am still on some potent drugs.  I'll be back to my normal mellow state in a few days....

You need a ball-joint tool;  The parts are a tapered fit so they're
tight, but a pain to remove.  The tool looks like a tuning fork and your
jam it between the parts you want to pry apart and whack it some.  Lots
of fun, but will split the boot if you're not careful.
You can rent one from autozone for free if you have one nearby- it's on
their list of rentable tools.

Subject: Re: timing chain trouble? what's this sound?

On my site, there's a technical paper in the Download section on the PRV6. In this document, it is stated that the PRV uses Nylatron 66 sliders on the timing chains. The reason I bring this up is that I got hold of a large

block of Nylatron66 (this is molibdenum disulphide impregnated nylon) for use in one of our robots - precisely for chain sliders. It's extremely abrasion resistant stuff - but easily machinable with the right tools. I have not

taken a PRV6 apart, but these sliders should be easy to re-make larger should you wish to increase the compression and tighten the chain. It's these sliders that I've always attributed the clicking in my engine to - but my

engine only has 3000 miles on it. It sounds exactly like the clicking the drive chain in the robot makes. (www.anthrax.org.uk if anyone's interested).

If anyone's interested, I can put you in touch with the company that supplied the block of Nylatron that I still have a large part of in the garage. It's common stuff and still in widespread use today, frequently as an

alternative to a ball-race.

Subject: New Poll! What tires do you run?

I've started a new poll at the Yahoo Groups site:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews/

In the poll I'm asking what tire you currently run. It's a little hard to
do a poll like this with so many brands and models out there, so I faked
it.  <grin>  If you choose Other, please e-mail me at
mark(at)buffalochips.org (replace the (at) with @ ) with the brand and
model you run. I'll post the results to the list at the end of the poll and
will keep all identities from e-mails private.

On a related note, The Tire Rack had a few of the rear size AVS
Intermediates in stock as of 2 weeks ago. I needed a pair and called them
and they had just received some. Who knows if they still have them. They're
showing the fronts as "special order" on their web site and I didn't ask
what that meant as far as availability.

Thanks for responding to the poll!

Subject: Radio bracket from DMC Houston...

Hey List,

    This weekend I plan to replace my original ASI radio from my car and I
have spent this week preparing for that.  Tuesday I got my radio bracket from
DMC Houston in, and then I sent it out to get powdercoated in a black wrinkle
which came out great.  Contrary to what they say....this bracket DOES show
around the a/c vents and also around the radio a little.  I hate the idea of
having the bare SS showing through.  I think they should have them all
powdercoated the way I did it.  The wrinkle effect in the coat does a good
job of matching the original vinyl covering they did on the original
brackets.  I also ran into a problem with the sleeve bracket the that radio
came with and the cut out for the radio part on the new bracket.  Its too
small.  Not to complain here...but when I spend $150 + on a part thats
supposed to be a drop in replacement, I didn't expect having to spend $35.00
to powdercoat it and now I need to file the sides of it down just to make the
radio fit (also I might add that I am not the only one that found the opening
too small so its NOT just mine that just happened to be too small, they all
are like this).  And this is supposed to be easier how?  Whoever took the
measurements for this thing must not of put into consideration that they need
to fit a sleeve bracket around the radio when it gets installed.  Whats the
big deal having the brackets powdercoated before you sell them?  At least
offer a limited amount of them in a black wrinkle powdercoat, I bet that will
be a big seller.

Subject: door opener actuators

Darryl,
Clearly you and I are not on the same page about the location of where we mount are devices. I was making a bad joke about the location.

At any time I never said anything bad about or discouraged anyone from buying your kits. I actually encouraged for anyone to ask you questions on your discovery.

But what I don't like is the misinformation you posted about the Solenoids being 5 to 6 pounds. I know you never said they would not work but you did hint that they were to heavy.

According to autolocs web page it say the Solenoids I have weigh 2 pounds. I have not had any problems with failing Solenoids. I understand you want to sell your product. I'm not trying to stop anyone from purchasing your product.

But, because I mention that there are other options and places to buy from you get bent out of shape.
Let these fine folks on this list decide what they want. Remember I'm not selling door openers, you are. And there are about 50 other sites out there that sell both actuators and solenoid shaved door handle kits for far less money. If they choose to go that direction, then they'll have to spend the time to figure out how to install the kit.

And I never jerry rigged my doors. I was never happy with the VPA's Solenoids. I thought there products were inferior. But I NEVER had a problem with them. I paid $100.00 for the kit from Jeg's magazine. It came with a four channel, two remotes and two Solenoids. The reason why I changed them out was like Tim Taylor from Tooltime, I wanted more power.


This is my last word on this subject. I apologize to the list and moderators for this verbal intrusion.
If you would like to calm down then I'll talk to you off list, if not, then lets let it be.

Regards,
Mike

Subject: New Frame

Has anyone one had the new stainless steel frame put in there car? Or
has anyone had the frame totally restored and built back up. I am
asking because I am wondering what the cost is to do this. Thanks!
