Re: Steering wheel compatability/ pic request

Might have to sand some off the back of the steering wheel. I had to remove about 1/16inch off the back of a 85 base model wheel to fit on my 92's airbag column. Otherwise it bolts right up.

I don't know what they're talking about. It'll sound really good, unless its a 2.8, then it'll only sound good if you keep it under 3000rpm.
