    1984 240 DL no sound from speakers

    I have a 240 DL in which the speakers will not work. It has an aftermarket radio that is hooked up correctly with newer speakers I know work. Often when I drive over a bump the speakers turn on, then another bump the speakers turn off. I don't believe the car has an external factory amp because...

    HDs and ipd springs on the yellow sub

    So, it was finally time to get rid of the stock struts/shocks/coils. They were getting really bouncy, and I think the back was sagging quite a bit. Now Ive got Hds on all corners, new ipd sport springs, and turbo sways. :cool: <a...

    So the other flathood thread got me thinkig...

    Ive had this similar but not matching color flathood in my dads garage for like 2 years now... My question, if I can figure out how to add a poll to this thread it this: Should I swap it on? Is the world ready for another yellow +T station wagon with a flathood!? :) <a...

    1984 B23F +T, final pre-project questions, LH 2.0 to 2.2?

    Ok, I've been searching these forums for quite a while now researching a +T conversion for my 1984 245 (B23F w/ M/T so 9.5:1 compression ratio, LH 2.0) I've got a turbo w/ header, intercooler, green top injectors, 3.0 FPR, but now I think its going to be a little more involved because my car has...
