Bloody hell! Jaycar sell them!  Flux Capacitor Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

Only 200-grand too - could make that back with a few trips in the Delorian....  Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

Geez Grog, Don't you realise you can make your own????? Six dozen, (4 score plus 2), sheets of corrugated iron & polycarb sheeting. Six Bunnings saw stools. All stacked in layers in 3 groups. Stager every second sheet a few inches to make terminating the ends easier. Arrange them in the "Y" shape, hook up the wires, and sit in the middle. The Poly carb sheets are optional if you prefer to space them like an old tuning cap. Cheers Phil |

You can DIY I guess, but you still have to upgrade to use Tannhauser gate. And the tolls.. jeez.. |

"That reminds me, Marty, you'd better not hook up to the amplifier, there's a slight possibility of overload." I just love the start of the first movie - I want one of those speakers! Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

Flux capacitors can also be very dangerous when connected to solar panels without a fuse. They can overload the sun and cause a supernova. Cheers, Tony. |

I keep away from flux capacitors after a bad experience many years ago. I fitted one to my car as per the design requirements, but I didn't have a DeLorean. I had a 1982 Camira. Anyway, after converting the velocity requirements to metric, (141.68kph) I realised that my Camira would need a lot of straight road to get up to that speed. And before any disbelievers jump in, that puppy topped out at 175kph...... errr.... so I hear. So after finding a long enough stretch of bitumen (newly opened Gisborne bypass, no speed cameras), I bundled the Mother In Law into the car to steer it (was too cheap for radio controls), put a brick on the accelerator (again, cheap) and let it go. Huge flash, burning tyre tracks, the whole she-bang ensued. Car and occupant gone. Success! Wish I could remember the date I plugged into the Time Circuits. I miss that car.  GTG! ...... Don't worry mate, it'll be GoodToGo! |

@Grogster- Oh yeah....droooools, forget these modern 8" woofers, 8 feet of bass @ 11 @GTG- I know what ya mean- I had a 84 I bought for $300 after a tree had fallen on it, was only slightly dented....and the roof was only slightly leaning to the right... (you could actually stick your fingers through the tops of the doors on the passengers side), like all camiras, the headlights were woeful after the faulty chrome peeled off the grey plastic headlights, so the blinkers were actually brighter than the low beams... when either actually worked (that car had the WORST electrics ever!) but man that car went well, I never took it to 175 either- or 180 ;-) |
