    What would you do? Parts value

    Unfortunately I had to buy a replacement car as my 95 Mark VIII just isn't suitable for winter driving with kids (wifes rules). It has 180,000 miles on it and honestly I know it is worth more in parts than it is whole because mine is a PIECE. The issue is we are renting and my parents don't...

    CobraStar Emblems!

    Are these still made? I bought a set many years ago and now my passenger side emblem fell off (or someone stole it...) so I need another one. Am I stuck trying to find them on eBay? I see them pop up every now and then but not the correct side. I have an extra driver side emblem but I'm...

    Can Anyone Beat This?

    Started a new job recently, 35 miles one way, half 55 mph city interstate and 70 mph highway. Highest Ive ever seen in 8 years of owning Marks.

    HID Kit Question

    So I bought an HID kit last year and its been working ok, aside from the fact that sometimes only one bulb will light up. And even sometimes if they are both on, if I am idling then one will flicker and turn off. I know its not the bulbs, they are brand new. I also have a relay kit which was...

    What is it worth?

    I've got a 94 Mark that I've owned since '03 and its been used primarily as a winter car for the last few years, but I dont trust it anymore. It has bad rust, especially on the rocker panels, and has caused me to blow a brake line in 3 separate places. Ive replaced all of the lines along the...

    Why is my engine bay so hot?

    I just brought my 95 Mark out of storage a couple of days ago. After I got it home after an easy 15 minute drive, I popped the hood. Then I remembered that this cars engine bay is always abnormally hot when compared to my 94. Like the beauty cover and even the intake tube are almost too hot...

    Painting a 1st Gen Hood?

    Ive done some searching but haven't been able to find a definitive answer. Is there a special way to paint a 1st gen hood? I was told its made up of a sort of composite or fiberglass or something and that if done improperly the paint will "bubble". My FACTORY paint on the hood even has some...

    Help me decide

    Heres the deal. I bought my 95 a year ago and while looking at it saw it had already had the regular height coil conversion done. I thought whatever... now I wont have to worry about air ride problems. Except now I realize the car must be lowered. What do I do? Cut a coil off each spring...

    Audio Experts

    Hopefully this is a simple question. Last year I installed a new head unit but the existing car antenna that plugs into the head unit wasn't long enough because the plug for it was on the other side. So, I got an antenna extension but the radio never got reception. When I put my hand over the...

    Weird Problem with Fuel

    So heres a weird one. Last year my 94 Mark was acting like it was not getting enough fuel, as if the pump was dying. It would not rev over 3000ish rpm with over 1/4 gas left in the tank, and barely over 2200 rpm with low fuel. This was like 4 months after replacing the fuel pump. Shortly...

    eBay Floor Mats

    Has anyone with a Light Graphite interior Mark bought new floor mats on eBay? Looking at their ads they label two different shades of gray as Light Graphite, part numbers ending in AAJ and AAF. You can clearly tell the difference when looking at pictures, but when I called they said they are...

    WTB: Seat Belt Trim

    For you guys parting out Marks, if you happen to come by the seat belt trim piece where the belt goes down inside the body of the car that is Lt. Graphite in color, Id be very interested. I need the drivers side only. It must have both tabs and be in very nice shape. If my description sucks...

    Console Lid Spring

    Hopefully this isn't too dumb of a question... but how can I "break" the spring that automatically opens the console lid/arm rest? Not the latch mechanism, but the thing that makes the lid pop open. My old one never had one when I got it and actually prefer it that way. Any suggestions?

    What happens when you have free time

    You make things to fit your car! Well, I did at least. I always thought that the cigarette ash trays in our car would be a good spot for a change holder but nothing ever worked. So I randomly came across a change holder that looked small enough to actually work. The slots for the coins...

    Air Silencers / Resonators

    I've heard some people say that they didn't notice a difference after they removed their air silencer. Huh?? I took mine off last night and geez. Under hard acceleration you can definitely hear that quad cam V8 growl. I made a video for you guys to try and compare. Unfortunately I didn't do...

    WTB used headlights

    Like the subject states, I'm interested in buying cheap, used headlights for a Gen I Mark VIII. Yellowing does not matter. Just as long as both of the headlights work and can be used. Let me know what you have and how much for both. Thanks!
