Fuckin neat. Original Renault engine?

Yep.

when's the LS swap
this car deserve so much more than that renault engine and the stock suspension

Neat, has it given you any issues? Miles? How long you had it?

>Just had her up to 120mph.
ummm no once you hit 88... uhh well....... youuu-u know.. right?

No swap. I'm happy with it as is tho I removed the cat so it breaths a bit better. As for the suspension I replaced the shocks with some bilsteins. The springs were something aftermarket anyway for a lower stance.

Its at about 35k miles. Plenty of issues over the years but all mostly addressed over the last 9 years I've had it.

pushrods are trash

What’s it like for maintenance? How hard is it to find parts?

Honestly not bad at all. DMC Houston has most of the parts and they are reasonable. I've been able to source all other parts from common sources like Advance Auto Parts and so on.

Dream car right there, too bad there so pricey. Godspeed user.

Could I have your address so I can notify the local police department? Going above the speed limit is reckless and endangers my family.

How would you know how fast you went when the speedometer doesn't go past 85?

>DeLorean
>ls swap

...

I don't get the DeLorean meme. The only thing they have going for them is an 80s movie.

GPS module.

>Houston
You should go visit Scotty

Do the gull wing doors impress the grills?

Yep

Just look at those sleek body lines

He talked about DeLoreans recently, think it was in his Q&A podcast

why pointing this out? what am I supposed to see here?

...

lol

Jason Camisa pls go

Uhh...that was a piece of plastic on it. That's it.

this

bless Giorgetto Giugiaro

when you got money for fun and know how yo wrench a bit cars like this are cool and good even though maintenance is worst than germany's overengineered brands

Only its not nearly as bad as a German car MX wise.

I would have thought it went to 88

Really? I remember hearing that this car could barely make it to the famous 88 mph, let alone 120.

I have lusted after one of these cars for as long as I can remember. I saw one when I was 7 or 8, even before I saw the movies, and knew I had to own one someday. What did you pick yours up for, user? I'm supremely jelous.

That's what I heard too. Though, he did say the exhaust isn't stock. Just removing the cats bumps power up something like 40hp in this car just because of how restrictive they are. Maybe that's it?

Too bad this guy has a shrimp dick

Let's hope that POS v6 doesn't dislodge the cylinder sleeves.
That's if it even starts to begin with.
My brothers Volvo Bertone had that shit v6 originally.
I can't name a worse engine.

Single cat, actually, with an atrocious wraparound exhaust. I've had a bone stock one up to 127 and that was literally all it had in it.

Obviously he had the time circuits off.

It's top speed was around 110. The 85 MPH speedometer was just a government mandate at the time

>liking a classic and one of the best movies of the 80's is now reddit tier according to Veeky Forums
>despite reddit fags being the main target audience for all these shitty soft-reboots that ruin movie franchises left and right

It's not liking the movie that's reddit-tier; it's the lame jokes that people have been making for the last 30 years. That is the biggest downside to owning a DeLorean; when you break down and are stranded on the side of the road, some faggot will slow down to yell a movie line or joke at you before driving away.

The movie itself is fine, it's all the "88 MILES PER HOUR" jokes and references that got really fucking old. The fact that 88 MPH was considered hihg speed very fast 30 years ago should tell you how shitty the car actually was

>posting bait with the same gay pic in multiple threads
pure autism

This. Honestly it's why I'm afraid of owning one ever all the HURRR BACK TO THE FUTURE jokes. Honestly it's why I keep it to my self that it's my favorite movie.

Came in here to ask this honestly.

>had this as a teen
>delivered pizza in small college town, tons of people on the streets
>no A/C so windows down usually

I shit you not, on a nightly basis I had drunk college bros stick their head in my shit and yell "HHHEEEEYYY BACK TO THE FUTURE RIGHT???"

I can't imagine what it's like owning an actual DMC, but god they're fucking sick

Why did stainless steel never get used to panels except on this car? Weight?

Damn I couldn't even imagine if people were mistaking a Mk3 celica for one how bad it must be.

...

I think it had more to do with the fact that it was a silver 80's-wedge-looking car than the fact the DeLorean is "bad" but keep reaching bud-e

He meant that the jokes are so bad with his Celica that he can't imagine how much it sucks to deal with it when you own a DeLorean.

ah ok I am autistic thank u papa Drac

I apologize for being so rash with u my frent

Serves them right for owning a DeLorean.

I used to have a celica supra and there were people who honestly asked me if it was a DMC the first time they saw it, so I guess normies just automatically associate 80's wedge cars with DeLoreans. Thing wasn't even silver either, shit was fucking brown

fuckin normies amirite

mine was actually a piece of fuckin shit too, pic related

That and difficult to repair.

My neighbor has 2 of those bad boys, a red one and a black one. Not sure what happened because one day they disappeared

i own a 1979 Celica-Supra. didnt think something slower than that fucking thing existed until i worked on a guys DeLorean

no offense to whoever owns one here but theyre slow, the interior especially the dash is bland as fuck, and theyre miserable to repair. try doing the window regulator in one

i thought DMC-12 were the coolest cars as a kid but after working on one fuck them

Normies would yell through my window in my s12, they do literally think any silver 80's car is a delorean.

Throw a DMC body kit on there and sell it to a normie

Think about trying to fix a dent on a brushed stainless steel fender. You can't use bondo because it won't match, you can't hammer it out that much or it will get all roughed up, there really is no repair it except for replacing the whole panel or painting it. That or just getting lucky and the dent pulls out perfectly without any fuss.

Reminds me of the Top Gear US Episode they did replicating movie cars, one of the guys wanted to do the DeLorean, but all he had the budget to do was buy a 200SX and bolt the hinges to the roof.

OUTTATIME

hurhur

that's a really cool car user, are those Mercedes bottlecaps by any chance?

I unironically want one to make a Group A replica out of, probably just going the tommyfyeah route with s13 front end and a KA

nice dub dubs, I haven't watched that abortion since like the first season but I see they're still ruining decent cars

I got DeLorean comments when I had a silver/black AE86 even when the car self-modded itself to have permanently up pop-ups. You would think the TOYOTA on the back and front would help them sort shit out.

Then again, I'm sure they can tell the difference between the latest CUVs at a glance.

Actually they don't bother slowing down or saying a word. Ask me how I know.

I think there are specialists out there that can fix minor dents. One was on the Delorean episode of Wheeler Dealers.

haha /pol/ strawman

we still don't need identity poltiics. we had a good thing going in obama's first term where everyone, white and black, was in agreement if they were all right wing or all left wing. and then occupy wall street fucked it all up with the oppression ladder and turned a niche ivory tower philosophy cooked up by sub-130 IQ "intellectuals" into popular culture.

True, but the ones who stop just to take a picture or yell a joke deserve a special place in hell.
