Completly off topic this but here goes -
After i (hopefully) pass my driving test, i want to get a car to get me to work and back everyday - and maybe to an odd DOC event.
Can anyone suggest a reliable make/model of car?

Leaky still leaking! |

Finally gat chance to replace my fuel pump cover boot thingy, but in doing so i had to disconect the fuel lines. So now got another leak where they connect to the metal lines. Thought i might get away with not replacing the olive that is pressed on to the metal lines but noooo.
Just looked in the manual and it says they're called fir trees(?) but dosen't mention a size or type.
I haven't taken them off yet, can they be MADE to fit or do they need changing. Any advice and where i can get them from would be great.
Thanks
Tom :?

Dyno Pull in a Delorean |

Afternoon all. Well finally got a chance to stick "Maddie" on a Dyno to get some ball park figures for what sort of power I'm getting.
I know we're still tweaking with the fueling so I needed to get a baseline so I could see what improvements can be made.
Just sticking the page up at the moment but it will be here
www.emagineproductions.co.uk/delorean
and click on the dyno link
Really good experience to do actually. Learn't a lot about what the car was up to at different RPM's. I know now I should be able to get at least another 20-30bhp when I get it richer in fuel at the top end. I did get about 33mpg on the run back from Edinburgh in August to I could sacrafice worse fuel economy for more horsepower.
Anyways, I'll let you all have a look see.
Also I could organise a Dyno Run Day for the DOC if anyone would be interested. It would work out at £35 + VAT a car for a power run. Could be fun. They have had quite a few Car Clubs down there now and they make up a bit of a league table when the club comes down. If enough people are interested I get it sorted!

New from Belgium |

Hallo everybody
I thought I would just introduce myself to the forum. I'm new here, but I have had a DeLorean for about 5 years now ...
Anyway, I'm Verbrugghe Andy and I'm from Belgium. I've been to Eurofest last may, so maybe some of you guys know who I am (I drove one of the 4 Belgian DeLoreans out there ...). I remember talking to some of you guys, but unfortunatly, I can't remember any names. Normally, I recognise people by the cars they drive, but in this case, it isn't that simple ... :wink:
I've been a DeLoreanfreak ever since I saw Back to the Future the first time in the eighties and wondered what car Marty was driving / flying. I've loved it ever since, but never thought the day would come that I would actually own one myself (since there not that many around, let alone one for sale here in Belgium). But since november 2001, I'm the proud owner of VIN#04610 (oct '81). It's one with a manual gearbox and a grey interior, the 2 things that had to be there when I was searching for my car. If it's up to me, I'm never going to sell it again ...
I think I was actually one of the first guys who buyed a DeLorean in Belgium for 'driving' it (instead of 'an investment'). But since then, DeLoreanitis has spread very fast over here. So fast in fact, that since the beginning of 2006 there is now an official DeLorean Club Belgium (with allready 22 members ! - not all of them drive a DeLorean). With that, there is also a new DeLorean Service Center, located in Bruges. We try to come together as much as possible at meetings and our Belgian record stands (at the moment) at 10 DeLoreans at one meeting. A milestone for a small country as Belgium ! We're aiming to break that number next summer ...
Anyway, I just thought I'de introduce myself to the group !
Regards from Belgium
Verbrugghe Andy
VIN#04610

PS. Since I don't have any 'digital' pictures I'll put one here that was taken of me and my car last summer at a meeting in France. You can always recognise mine, since it's the only Belgian DeLorean with the banner on the front windscreen (http://www.retourverslefutur.net ).
