You need an old school mechanic used to setting them up, might find someone who used to tune engines "back in the day"'

Next month will be the 4th anniversary of Delorean ownership, how the time has flown by! Alot has changed but although 2456 looks a lot more like a working Delorean, I will be honest and declare that it has sat in the garage since August. Third time lucky, this will be my year!

Now that Mandie is approaching the 30 week stage of her pregnancy, my new job with North American Coal Corporation Materials Handling Division has begun and our evenings are getting brighter, work can be planned.

I need to sort out my torque converter/gearbox woes, carburetor set up and get this thing on the road!!!

It is good to be able to contact you all again as you are all missed greatly. I have heard a few updates but I hope everyone is well and still as eager to be involved as I am.

I have noticed the mass intention to sell with some sales already!! A bit disheartening but I still love the car and no matter what life has threw at me, selling has never been an option. I just hope the friends I have made do not fade into the horizon.

My dream is to have a car collection like Jay Leno's so adding to what I have would be more likely!

I think the problems are gearbox or torque converter and the power is better with the filter cleaned but still too much slipping. When I have the funds I will be contacting your source to erradicate the issue.
