Trade you my mediocre factory wheel for your mediocre aftermarket wheel. |

I'd potentially be interested in that. Is it the IROC wheel you tried to sell me before from that parts column?
As long as it has a good horn button and decent leather. I'll get it recovered later on if I have to.

Yeah, that's part of my motivation for doing it. It's also pretty rare to see a clean 82-84 Z28 that hasn't been GFX updated to fat chick GFX, so I'm just a working on a barrel of odd car things over here. _________________ 84 Camaro Z28 - LS1/T56

I've been driving the Camaro as my daily driver for a couple weeks now. Everything is great. I'm extremely happy with the swap and with the other work I've done to get this thing into a comfortable driver. Speaking of that...
My old pull-to-set orange text Delco is no longer working. The left channel was basically non-functional unless I applied pressure sideways to the volume knob, and resoldering the pot to the board didn't help. It must have had a bad potentiometer. Anyway, I replaced it with a very similar but later model Delco which sounds much better and is in much better condition. Then I added a modern touch to it with an auxiliary input port. Its connected directly to the amplifier and interrupts the tuner's signal when you plug a source in, it sounds great and works perfectly. I also went to Goodwill (crappy selection but $0.10 per tape!) and started my tape collection.

You know if I had a car from the 60's I'd be all over that. _________________ 84 Camaro Z28 - LS1/T56

Sorry man, when you were born in 1990, cassettes are retro. |

Hey, I was born in '89 and I still remember many years of my parents having tapes in the car. CDs weren't the default option until, like, the mid-to-late '90s.
I also filled the tape player in my dad's old aero Thunderbird up with spare change when I was about 3-4 years old. _________________ 84 Camaro Z28 - LS1/T56

My dad's biggest complaint about the 8 track in his girlfriends 76 TransAm was that you couldn't pull the tape out with the shifter in park! Lol that and he had to buy led Zeppelin 4 like 5 times because it keep eating the tapes. Haha |

I remember when you bought that 5 disc changer for your Technics head unit at Good Guys. I had several CDs before I had a player...circa 1990. _________________
