above shot of the 83 TA

 

Nice car are those cross lace wheels? By the way cool DeLorean

 

you have a delorean?

 

i love DeLoreans.....i plan on getting one as soon as i'm out of college... :-D
saw one driving down concord road a few weeks ago....*** damn it looked good.......hehehe

 

Nice collection you have there!

 

I like that color combo! Looks great! I also like that DeLorean

 

Great looking TA there. I love the decals on that car, especially on the power bulge.

 

nice bird and the delorean wow....

 

That's an interesting stripe on the power bulge, did you have that done?

 

that is the orginal hood decal for the car. I think it was only used in 83 though. not quiet as prnounced as the huge screaming chicken decal used on other years

 

Thats a factory decal. I mostly seen it on Recaro's and 15th Anniversary T/A's. You can somewhat see it in the pic.

 

Those look like the original turbo cast wheels with the bowling ball hubcaps, otherwise known as the KITT wheel.s

 

that they are, figured it would make it eaiser to resell if the that horried day might come. pluse I need all the help I can get for the best gas milage(prem gas only + gas prices + 15mpg = empty wallet)

 

Premium fuel? Why are you wasting your money on that? Our cars don't have the compression to warrant premium fuel. Unless of course you have another engine rather than stock. I have an 82 so your car is fairly similar to mine all we need is 87 octane. There is no benefit at all from putting in anything other than that. This is an excerpt from the following Octane FAQ ]OCTANE FAQ[/URL]
Just trying to save you some cash =)

 

I have tried 87 and too much pinging for me. I do have a 10:1 compression ratio and it is not completely a stock engine. Had a few mods to get it back together.

 

Sweet car, how did you come across the Delorean?

 

The Trans Am took about 4 years to find one with all the right options and in restorable condition + low miles. The D was alot of research and 14 years later and there it sit(only 11k miles) my only two dream cars.

 

armac, I just have to say that it is great to see an 83 in such nice shape. It is nice to see that you put it back to the factory appearance.

It really looks right at home with the Delorean too, nice pair!

 

just the tip of the iceburg. Still have the interior to total redo and a paint job to go.

 

get that car up to 88mph go back to when your car was new

they look like match box cars in that pic

 

Cool view ! But as the previous owner of your car , it looks way better then the Delorian
She sounds great. Keep up the good work!

Do you plan on getting PMDs for your '83?

 

PMD are already on the car. Just have to have them recovered

 

Pretty car

 

Hey I just had a thought, if DeLorean's are aluminum body, imagine polishing it

 

it is a 304 grade stainless steel body but that is for the Delorean posting site.

 

 

wow people are quite obviously amazed with the delorean (as am i) ya just dont see them too often. However on a more relevant topic i love your bird. Im not a huge fan of the third gen birds but i love yours...any way we could get some more pics of her?
