Armrest is nice for long drives. I leave mine up until I'm on the highway.
this car just gets better and better!
Like the "GT" horn button. Do these bolt on to regular 240 steering wheels?
The center pad is interchangeable with the 14.5" non-airbag steering wheels.
Drove the car out to Modesto this weekend (200 mile round trip) so I decided to finally set the toe. Ever since I lowered it, I'd never even looked at the alignment. It had a bad tie rod, wasn't sure of the final ride height, needs strut mounts, maybe add GT plates... so I put off the alignment until
I got all that sorted out.
But for now, I just wanted the toe to be closer to being right. I had no helper, so I got out my tape measure, a wood block, and a rubber sanding block so that I could do it all by myself:
The rubber block keeps the tape measure end from falling out of the tread.
On the other side, I simply measured to the same line in the tread, on the front side vs. the rear side of the tire. I'm embarrassed to admit that the car was nearly one full inch toed out! Now it's 1/16" toe in, and it feels soooooo much tighter and more planted, especially over 70mph.
I'm going to have to do it all over again after I do struts, mounts, GT plates, etc... but I'm happy that it drives better and won't scrub tires away in the meantime.
While I was at it, before setting toe, I went ahead and loosened the strut bolts and pushed the struts to maximum camber. Looks a little less dorky now.
Boy am I glad I sold this
Thanks a lot. You're such a dick.
Thanks, Jack. Dick.
I don't understand how every single part on a car can be broken, and it still drives around reliably. Because Volvo, I guess?
Dude not my feelings dudeNext, on news that are not news
Thanks a lot. You're such a dick. You told me this car was fully serviced and daily driver ready.
Thanks, Jack. Dick.
Great seller, and really knows his parts! Bought a 242 from Jack. He did a lot of minor repairs prior to the sale, threw in a few parts it might need, and checked in during the drive home to make sure I was happy, and the car hadn't exploded.
Excellent seller, and just generally a really cool guy. Looking forward to buying/selling with him again!
