Shes a 98 LSC, pearl white with the grey interior. Has 85K on it and I am the third owner. The guy I bought it from bought the car from his father a year ago. Its only been serviced and repaired in Ford dealers and all that was a big plus to me. Its had both rear and one front bag replaced so I feel fairly safe and will change the other bag just because.
She runs great and shifts just fine. Everything seems to work and the seat motors are new so I can finnaly use the easy entry feature.
It also has the old Borla cat back on it and its very quiet but has a wonderful sound. I am already thinking of removing the center cat/res and putting in a double x pipe.
PLUS IT HAS A MOON ROOF! :wrench
Too bad its aftermarket. Its a SolAire and nice but had I known it wasnt factory before I drove 250 miles then I would have passed on the car. BUT the car was nice enough to get anyway even with its issues.
So issues:
The seal around the rear window looks like crap
The cup holders are broken (will be swapped from old car)
The spring for the console lid is broken (will swap with old cars)
Dome light has a bad ground and only works if I push up on the headliner. (easy fix)
Missing window/lock switch covers on the passenger side.... I have no idea how. (gonna take them off old car)
Dent on the passenger side before the wheel arch. I hope my shop can fix it.
I didnt see it untill after the deal was agreed upon)
Stereo sits in too far but I can fix that
Burn hole in carpet
It takes 2 seconds before it starts (plugs maybe, what are the best to get again?)
Had 4 error codes:
Bank 1 lean
Bank 2 lean
EGR not opening or closing (forgot which)
IMRC stuck closed
I reset the codes and then put 240 miles on it. I could feel the IMRC open at 3000ish RPM so some Seafoam should help that. I imagine the lean codes are bad front O2s
The EGR though tripped the light again on the way back so I think I will swap valves with the 97 and see if that cures it.
I am ordering a few mods for it tomorrow like the hard drive upgrade and bluetooth module for the deck and then an ASHAM8 because I am digging this air ride. My friends that took me down to Austin were impressed when the car went down after it was parked.
Funny point. First two times I started the car and was getting worried cause I couldnt figure out that weird noise that happened for 20 seconds or so and then stopped. Never had an air ride before so forgot about the compressor. :lol:
So tomorrow I will put on the Saleens and wash her up so it wont be till Friday before I can post some better pics.
I am gonna start a progress thread because in the next couple weeks the car will get Cobra brakes, Addco sway bars, SCP front braces, ASHAM8 and the rest of its sound system.
So here are some teasers.
