Problems Warming up
Has anyone on here ever had issues keeping the cars warm? The temps here in NH are only in the 40's now and I can barely keep the needle above the C on the guage. During the summer she runs right around 1/4 of the way up, but now I can't even get it that high when racing around. Could the thermostat be stuck open? I also know that my fan is seized and spins all the time, want to go electric soon as I have the money. Any opinions on a quick fix?

If the guage isn't going to at least 1/4 all the time then its innacurate or something is wrong with the t-stat and you already know your fan is shot... good luck with that delorean I want to see that ****...

Ok, got it fixed (in a way) took off the mech fan and took her for a drive (had the fan in the back w/ wrench and screws) and found she warmed up fine and held just over 1/4 the way up. I think the fan will stay off for the winter. And wow is there a difference when you take one of the seized fans off, not only does it sound better w/o the sound of a prop plane but the enigne revvs smoother. E-fan all the way for spring.

On the other note, ya the delorean is coming along slowly, I am taking my time want to make it into a show car. The biggest hold up that I have right now would actually be the interior I have a running motor in her (not the one I want) but the interior is shot from being in a shed in FL for 8 years. Hopefully if things go well this winter I will make some nice progress tho. Will post some pics once the 13b goes in. Am thinking about P-Port w/ weber instead of turbo due to it being rear engine, not sure tho.
