Re: K Gets A Radio
I have a crappy Sony CD/radio unit I can donate to the K at the BFE. Got it out of an auction car 10 years ago.

Re: K Gets A Radio
I have a milk crate full of AM and AM/FM radios pulled from various clunkers over the years. Want a monaural AM/FM unit from an '85 Chevette? An old 'Sparkomatic' cassette deck from the early cassette v. 8 track years? A genuine Kenford or Magnetbox unit?

Re: K Gets A Radio
I so hope we have time to put one in before we drive this beast 1000 miles, if not we'll take u up on that freebie Phil....
Right now we have more pressing issues, like an engine and some front suspension pieces and brakes and a wiring harness and seats and various other things....
Anybody that wants to practice their wrenching skills, college station is a great place to visit....

Re: K Gets A Radio
From Troy Hogan...
I am planning to go up to College Station this weekend to put the stuff in.
The package includes 2 Motorola P110, 4 watt UHF radios, a NASCAR short harness and accompanying stuff. I am planning to install a old school illuminated Pac Man style button for a PTT. Chris and I talked about a Staples Easy button but I never got one. I going to put an external antenna on the car and a battery eliminator on the radio in the car. I'll throw in a couple of helmet kits I hope get passed along with the car. Brandon shouldn't need the helmet kit.
I've got a bunch of speaker mics so I will include one of those too. May set one up with an earbud plug.
I thought I have a holster deal for the radio I can't find any now. The P110s are good radios, they pre-date the GP300s. The only drawback is the lack of a belt clip on the battery. Doesn't really matter in car but not so convenient for spotters. Maybe someone will come up with something.
Biggest problem with all this is I've been busy all week and have some orders to complete along with making all the stuff for the K.
I'll take some pics of the install. Hopefully they will have the car in good shape by the time I get there. I'll do what I can to help them with the car.

I think I have an extra CB radio. If someone digs up an antenna, I'll donate the CB to the cause. You need a CB to find out where to buy West Coast turnarounds.

Re: K Gets A Radio
All right, I'll bring a stereo and a CB radio to donate to the K-Car cause. I might even have a wired (plugs directly into radio's antenna jack) FM modulator to throw in, so 21st-century audio devices can be played through the radio via a 1/8" stereo jack.

Re: K Gets A Radio
I found a Uniden CB radio that I used in the Black Metal V8olvo back in 2008. It worked then, might still work now. Needs antenna + cable. Also dug up a couple of crappy car stereos (including the one that I used in the Junkyard Boogaloo Boombox) and a wired FM modulator to enable you to play your Zune on those 20-hour K-Car road trips. Also got some new bumper stickers for the K. Will bring all this stuff to the BFE next weekend.

Re: K Gets A Radio
I have a Dodge stereo that should slot right into the K. It's the take-out from my truck. I meant to bring it to Autobahn, but like literally 50% of everything I was trying to bring to that race, I forgot it. AM/FM/Cassette. Tape slot is broken, so effectively just AM/FM.

Re: K Gets A Radio
someone give me an address to mail an older but functional cd player, plus a couple of 5" speakers. The CD player is a mororized face, and you have to help it up and down, but it works otherwise. I assume the factory antenna is still there?

I believe the factory antenna was deemed unsafe for racing at Gingerman and was removed.

Re: K Gets A Radio
I'm bringing a functioning Sony CD player to give to the K at the BFE GP this weekend. As for the antenna, I recall it being removed at Gingerman because it was dangling by its cable-- not exactly a case of the Fun Police raining on the parade. If someone wants to invest $8 at U-Pull-&-Pay and get an 80s Chrysler antenna, that would be nice.

Autozone usually has the universals on the shelf as well.

Re: K Gets A Radio
The Petty Cash guys are bringing a couple of speakers and an antenna scavenged from their five E30 parts cars, so the K should have everything it needs for a complete (crappy) sound system waiting for it at the BFE. Does it still have side glass?

Yes, glass is all still intact.
