New Shoes on the Lincoln LSX

Pinknuts said:
LSX is a nickname in the camaro, trans am, gto, and Corvette world as a car with a LS1, LS2,LS6 engine etc. The X is where the number goes depending on which of those motors a car has in it. So since my car is already a LS, I figured I would try and be clever and call it a LSX since it has a LS1 out of an '02 Trans Am.



Those are the turndowns from the full 3" exhaust and they were painted black but some of the paint is coming off. Painted it black to look more sleeper.



Yea they actually fit pretty well. No rubbing anywhere.

Ah, you're the guy with the swap. Cool beans. I was asking the question sarcastically, as I knew what LSX stood for, just forgot you were the one that did the swap.

Wheels look great in silver, btw.
 
Very very nice. I agree keep them silver & the final touch would be the Lincoln center caps.
 
That looks dam good. Man everybody getting their LS together for the summer and I'm still in the sandbox with a garage full of goodies at home waiting on me. Got 16 more days though. Can't wait! How does the Hankooks ride? I had a set on my first set of 20s that but they were V104s though.

I like 'em - was tempted to try and find a set after Alax got his. I got a great deal on the Jaguar wheels before that happened though, so I jumped on those. I think 19s look perfect on the LS

Wait a minute.. You swapped a Trans Am engine into an LS? I thought engine swaps were near impossible.. Is there some build thread I should be looking for..

*edit: Holy ---- that is awesome. I didn't see what HP your getting out of that?

I really need to get it on the dyno to see what kind of power it is making. All I need to do is call my buddy with a dyno and schedule an appointment. I promise I will do this soon!

I agree that would be a nice finishing touch. I will probably do that.

LOL yea I guess it's just that time of year. The Hankooks actually ride very well. I'm very impressed so far. It actually doesn't ride any rougher than it did with the stock sized tires did before. Love them!

Damn, marry that girl.

LMAO she is pretty cool. And as you can see she does pretty well for herself. Her daily is that brand new Audi S4 in the pics and she also has a 1,000+ HP Supra. She's not your average girl. BUT we are just friends... for now... ;)

Yea I almost bought a set of wheels like you have, but they ended up getting sold so I just lucked upon these wheels and got an awesome deal on them too! Yes I also agree that 19s are the perfect size for our cars too.
 
Very Nice! The silver looks great...chrome might even look better on black

He actually painted the Volvo caps silver and then put the Lincoln logo on them.
The OEM Lincoln center caps are smaller than the Volvo ones so you can't reuse them.

Thanks guys I really don't mind them silver like they are.

Loks GREAT! What did they come off of?
 
I think they look good with the plain. But perhaps my mind will change if I see some Lincoln star stickers on them.

Either way that LS is putting all of us to shame no doubt.
 
Hey, I bought replica wheels, just like this, but they dont say XC and i sent them to be chromed.. ill put up pics as soon as they get in so you can see them in chrome on a black LS

Thanks man, I agree I will probably just leave them silver and also leave the center caps clean and debadged. I'm big on debadging all of my cars anyway, so why would I want to spend money and time adding badges back on LOL. And your call still looks good man, I wish I had your springs on my car and my car still isn't as clean as I want it to be, but it's getting better...
