Well, I meant basically what you just wrote... I don't think you want to change your delorean to a Back to the Future lookalike car, so you know everything about keeping a car "OEM".
On the other hand, why not improve it a little bit? Small flux-capacitor, digital meters, etc. >

Actually, these things happen in every club including the DeLorean community. Every DeLorean owner knows that the coolent bottle has a weakpoint and will eventually brake so we all replace it with a metal one. But there are people within the community that think that even such a small change changes the car into non-original and they are unhappy about it. My DeLorean is far from stock and I have no intention to keep it stock. Aslong as it looks stock from the outside I'll do any improvement I can when I have the money. So fixes the shortcomings in the engine, changing the weak suspention, etc. There are just to many things 'wrong' with that car that I'm sure that if the company had survived longer, would have been changed by the factory aswell. The car simply was never 'finished'.

In the RX7 community I see the same old thing aswell. There are plenty of people who really hate it when another 1st gen is modded because these cars are getting rare in stock form.

Its the way things are
