Ive Always Liked This Car...


Recommended Posts

They are stainless still and aren't painted.

The dude that made it is a douche. He has been in so many failed car making projects. He really needs to give up, I mean the guy hasn't contributed anything to the automotive world but he manages to find work or inverstors and makes crap cars like De'loreans.

I think you'll find that he 'gave up' a year or so ago...

I had alook into these a while back and was not impressed by the overall concept.

They are an 80s car with all the imperfections of that era, theres a mob in the US that can offer any type you want from basic stock to fully stripped and improved everything that is know to go wrong.

The only thing they have going for them is they are rare and collectable, I dont think they would loose value now.

One of the biggest drawbacks are the stainless body panels, as the repair of them is nigh impossible to get that straight look again and is cheaper to buy new panel even at todays prices, or paint the whole thing, which is an effort if you have ever tried to paint stainless properly.

Delaoreans were meant to be like proper supercars.. but they ended up with a V6 and a f**king heavy body :S think about it, how would you get out of the car if you flipped it?

if you managed to flip a 2 tonne car i dont think you'll be getting out of it.

I remember when these were first released, delorean had a lot of car makers running scared with his ideas.

"A car that could last a man a lifetime", imagine that!!, great for the environment, not a bad idea...especially in the disposable 1980's. Add some rumoured industrial espionage and it's a very interesting history for a very interesting car.

It's a shame that manufacturing costs and the price tag were so prohibitive.

@ 55k it's a worthy investment and at when peak oil hits us at least you'd have something with a decent scrap value :bunny:

Oh and sif paint stainless.....just hit it with the buff, beautiful.

Nope doesn't come with either of those...nor does it come with rust...ever

It's little wonder the big three made sure he failed.

    • Hi fellow SAU members, I want to put coupe tail lights on my R32 sedan. I have been told it was as easy as changing the boot lid and the tail lights and possibly the rear bar. I have since found out that this is incorrect after buying the lights and boot. The coupe boot dosnt allow the boot to oprn on a sedan and the tail lights won't fit either. Has anyone done this or seen it done and could help me out with some guidance or instructions to get it done.
    • Noice one 👍 I've done a 1:16.300 at Watkins Glen, will keep at it. Still have to knock off half a second at Suzuka in the Roadster
    • Two golds! Struggled to get silver on Gran Valley.
    • Interesting that it has 2 to the USB stick. Are the ones to the USB stick different? Or labelled anything at all? Telstra 4G is Band 28 is the long range one you want, it's 700mHz. I'm trying to do some reading on the Cel-Fi stuff, but I can't find any decent info online that makes me feel comfortable being able to work out the sort of antennas we could get away to swapping it over to. The antennas I'm starting to do some stuff with at work, are a transparent antenna. They're designed to stick onto the window. Which means you wouldn't even have the antenna outside the car. Volkswagen have just started using the exact same types of antennas on some of their new cars (And from the same antenna manufacturer). But, RF stuff is a bit of a dark art some days, and getting it wrong in your car could make for a terrible waste of money trying to swap antennas :S
    • I'm not going to lie Duncan, Saturday and Sunday were pretty rough days. The sort of work I was doing would previously have ended up with me spending about an hour and a half chatting with Neil. Firstly about something I had a question about, and then both of us rambling off on tangents.  I think how Neil did things, and his attitude to getting it done is helping me in part to get this stuff done. Then I can actually do the things I enjoy more easily
