    Stu!

    Check your damn pm's! :p To keep this Mark related, I have been having a fairly random issue. When driving the car for extended periods in temps above 75* I get an extremely strong fuel smell. Doesn't happen all the time, rather intermittently. I drove 500 miles (95* out) with the a/c on...

    Vortech and 99/01 Cobra engine

    Been searching and tired of digging through all the threads that don't relate to the info I am after. -On a stock B head Mark what needs to be modified to adapt the 96-98 Cobra Vortech kit. Let's say non intercooled for the sake of simplicity. -99/01 C head Cobra engine- What all needs to...

    New pics

    Got some unique pics, figure I would share. Seems as a final "F You" from the pos city of Colorado Springs, got a redlight ticket in the mail. As the pictures show (which was verified by a cop as accurate), I am clearly running a red light. :rolleyes: Of course these cameras are for safety, and...

    Met up with another member

    Was good meeting you Stu. Sold him my chrome directionals. Decided to grab a few pics at a local park. Before it's mentioned, yes my car is stock height again. Couple places I go for work, were causing my exhaust to scrape. Will be lowering it again after I move out of here in a month.

    OEM Halfshafts Only!

    So I will be ordering another factory halfshaft, for the other side of the car. If you caught my thread where I had halfshaft issues, you'll see I replaced both...mainly peace of mind. I'm not running the clips on either, due to my t-lok. Jackass I bought the unit from said it came out of a IRS...

    Would anyone be interested?

    So I am going to have to roll my rear quarters, since my 285's are rubbing. The roads around here are...crappy to say the least. So I need to act fairly quick, before the quarters eats away my new tires.Looked into renting one, but think I am just going to buy a good quality one. Figure I...

    Anyone else have this issue with parts?

    Ordered all my front suspension stuff from Rockauto. Got to checking out all the parts, and despite all being boxed as MOOG, one of each is very different. One upper, and one lower are not stamped with TRW, and have very different bushings. Obviously I don't feel comfortable running these...

    10k headaches later...

    I've never had so many issues on such a "relatively" easy job. Now running Cobra brakes (13" front rotors, 11.65" rear, dual piston calipers), and 18" bullitts. Rear are 18x10 with 285/35/18, and 18x9 front with 265/35/18. Day I brought it home: Today:

    Just added more power!

    It's common knowledge yellow is the fastest color...this has been proven by science. Red of course being the second fastest. :lol: While waiting for my hubs to be pressed (one refused to leave it's home), I got to cleaning some things up. My diff cover was pretty nasty, so did a little...

    Who has a spare DS spindle?

    So for those who read my halfshaft issue topic, you know I had to yank the whole unit. Reason being the CV would not separate from the spindle. Took both spindles in to get the hubs swapped today. Seized halfshaft/spindle assembly > 10 ton press. :lol: They could not separate the hub...

    Mark VIII Weight

    This seems to be a rather common discussion. Took this at the track a few weeks ago. This is with a 1/4 tank of gas, standard size spare, my tool bag (30lbs), mini floor jack (6lbs), 4 bar (3lbs), portable air compressor (8ish lbs), and 1/2 qt of oil. Yes I felt it necessary to mention the oil...

    Halfshaft issue

    Decided to say screw it and keep the car. Went and looked at a another car (GTO), but it just didn't have the appeal, I thought it would. Started my hub swap last night. After much fighting I went and bought a 3 jaw puller this morning. Passenger side knuckle came off in a matter of minutes...

    Anyone have a rockauto code?

    Getting ready to order all my suspension rebuild stuff. I have a 5% off code, but I know they occasionally send out 10% codes as well. Any of you guys happen to have one? Figure if I can get it cheaper, why not. :lol:

    Think the UPS guy will wind up hating me.

    I have been on an ordering spree the last couple weeks. So far, the UPS guy has been at my house every day this week, delivering. :lol: Still expecting to see him tomorrow, Monday, and Tuesday, according to my online tracking info. :D Have ordered everything for my hub swap, and brake...

    E85

    So has anyone done this, or researched it in depth? If so, how was your experience. I know a bigger pump and injectors are needed, along with a tune.

    Anyone want to do a diff swap?

    Many people claim that you will never want to go less than 4.10's in these cars...I am sick of it. It is a lot of fun in town, but I am sick of buzzing at 3k+ on the highway. Seeing if anyone with 3.73's, might want to swap. I am looking at just doing a diff swap. My 4.10's were purchased...

    Gotta love the snowball effect...

    Really just insult to injury. As if it wasn't bad enough I am contemplating freezing my ass off to do the clutch in truck, in 12* weather tomorrow. Now the damn seat frame broke in the Lincoln. So I got the cool rocker chair effect now. Don't think I am going to bother trying a temp fix (jb...

    After a week, brought the car out of the garage

    Was kind of wild pulling the car out of the garage, and driving it around. Forgot what driving something with half the weight, and 100+ hp than the truck. :lol: Not to mention the joys of the creature comforts (heated seats, leather, better handling). Will be driving it the next few days...
