    05 GTO 6 speed as a LSC replacement?

    I suggest you think twice before doing this. I have no comment about your choice of vehicle or reason for upgrading but I must say that: CAR PAYMENTS SUCK!!! Interest paid on car loans is wasted money. Don't forget that insurance, taxes, etc. will be higher on a newer vehicle too. When I...

    E-brake Help Needed, Please

    I would like to believe that I don't need no stinking e-brake. Here in the Commonwealth of Mass. It is a required safety item. My car was rejected by the inspector because it doesn't work. According to our inspection rules, If a vehicle is rejected for a safety related item, it must be repaired...

    Buying my first Mark VIII - help me choose please

    Check turn signals, cornering lamps, four bulbs in trunk lid (two per side)between back-up lights and edges, back-up lights, as well as head, parking, and tail and brake lights. Any of these will will trip the 'check external lighting' message. I don't know for sure if the license plate light or...

    Buying my first Mark VIII - help me choose please

    I agree with you KK that all Gen 1 interiors are the same and that the differences are in the radio, climate control area of the dash. This difference is why I prefer the 96 interior to the earlier ones. After revisiting the pictures posted above, I have a question: I was under the impression...

    Buying my first Mark VIII - help me choose please

    After seeing the pics and reading your updates, I would say that the '96 would be my pick of those three. The '95 even looks like it was owned by someone who didn't care about it. Two different style wheels? Steering wheel doesn't match. The '97 doesn't seem too bad except for the gay chrome on...

    Buying my first Mark VIII - help me choose please

    The advise and suggestions given so far are good and come from knowledgable people. Some thing else to look at would be to make sure coolant fan comes on when turning on the max a/c. If it doesn't come on, this could be an indication that the car may have been run hot in the past. I have two...

    ffffffing radio

    I had the same problem once; but not in a M8 and with an aftermarket radio. The problem was that the battery was old, weak and needed replacement. When starting the car, the starter needed so much of the available juice from the bettery the there was not enough left to power the memory in...

    Help My Car Was Built By Morons!!!

    My experience with Lucas is with petroleum oil only. Not with synthetic. I don't know if it should be used with synthetic or not. I have been using Lucas oil treatment for years and recommend it. Especially for high mileage engines. Their biggest claim is to prevent dry start-ups. It...

    Is this normal?

    Ask yourself these questions: Is it possible that you've had to hold the wheel at 2 o'clock since you did the coils and didn't notice until now? Do you know for a fact that you were positioning the wheel normally and all of a sudden it's different? Is it possible that as you put on a...

    Opinions on Financing "newer car"??

    Car payments suck! There are a couple of things you should do before you plunk down your hard earned dollars on a car. Hold off on buying that car for now. First: Take the steps necessary to repair and begin to rebuild your credit. Second: Make sure that your life style will support...

    Need opinions

    Chadly, My first comment is that it is your car and you should paint it whatever color you like. (Even yellow if that floats your boat) Since you asked for opinions, here's mine: first choice; Black second choice; BLACK! taking into consideration that your interior is black and your...

    My 93 Mark Viii vs 08 c300 sport

    Reminds me of back in 1964/65 when I was in high school. '55-'57 chevs were affordable and becoming popular with the kids. I wanted to be different so I put together a'56 Ford with a 430 LINCOLN engine. The Chevy guys never knew what hit them. When asked what I had in it, my reply was: "It's...
