    I believe there is now a turbo or supercharger kit available to give it more punch.

    It's pretty interesting that the land rover has an Aux box I didn't know that they had that

    Nice job Mike. And i loved the Land Rover, i grew up with one as my grandad had one from new and is still in the family. Good to see someone driving an un-synchronized gearbox without grinding the gears hehe

    The Delorean motor sounded pretty smooth.Good work.Being from Michigan though,I'd much rather have the Land Rover.That's a really sweet looking truck,and the overdrive makes it so much more driveable at 45-55 mph,which is most the roads I'd be using between towns.

    Nice work; I've owned mine for 16 years, and I love. They're extremely simple to work on.

    Great job on the car Mike! My only comment is why a Ghost Busters sticker on the doors? If it was an old Cadillac ambulance maybe?

    Mike on the first shot of the car idling the idle is not correct. The delorean has an idle speed motor that keeps idle at 775 plus or minus 50. You are idleing at 1000rpm plus. This indicates the idle motor is not working as it should. Either the throttle spool is not tripping the idle micro switch (easy fix) or the idle motor is at the end of its range and can’t bring the idle down to 775. If that’s the case I suspect there is a vac leak somewhere

      In that shot the car wasn’t running, I added the audio from the idle rather than put any music. In the key off position that is where the needle sits in the cluster. It idles at 775rpm 👍

    Weren't they built by British men in Northern Ireland? After all it was the British Government who funded the whole thing.

      @@solstar4778 Because it's an amazing upgrade to the car. I've owned my DeLorean for 16 years. It's been LS swapped for the last 5 years, and I don't regret it whatsoever.
