    Mark VIII config questions

    I tracked down all the buzzing to trim panels. the factory speakers and HU and amp are working 100% as intended now. I also did a little testing to see where the factory system crossover is set. It's a mighty low 500hz or so. I am not aware of any woofer/tweeter component sets that...

    Mark VIII config questions

    I just replaced two blown factory woofers with factory replacements. Still have buzzing. I think one of the rear "tweeters" is shot too. I would like a high end system in this car. I did extensive installs in my other two cars. the Firehawk getting the best of the best. Pioneer Premier...

    front suspension noise

    luckily suspension parts, with the exception of the air parts, are very cheap. you can do a complete rebuild of the front suspension for a few hundred bucks. that's all the bushings and arms.

    front suspension noise

    I just did the strut rod bushings. Was no where near as bad as I've heard. It took over an hour for the drivers side because i thought i could wiggle the strut rod out without unbolting the LCA, wrong wrong wrong. Just save the time and unbolt the thing. I'm pretty confident i'll do the...

    Brake Caliper Squeak...Not typ pad squeal

    not entirely related but I would like to just add that I replaced my rotors and pads the day i bought my car, about 2 weeks ago. I used Duralast gold rotors and Duralast gold ceramic pads. i used brake quiet on the backs of the pads even though it didn't seem necessary. The duralast golds...

    front suspension noise

    This worries me.... I have a "clunk" too. I felt sure it's the strut rod bushings. The previous owner has reciepts for Upper and lower control arms, three sets of front struts had arnotts now ford OEMs. tie rod ends and i think even the sway bar end links..... only thing never replaced was the...

    anyone ever get tired of just being "as fast" as the typical new family sedan?

    Once upon a time i wanted a fast mark. I did the cobra shocks, tune, carrier bushings, engine mounts, MAF, CAI. Woke the 97 up a lot and I thought it was fast. Then I got my hawk.... 4.10s, magnaflows, full suspension, subframes, solid engine mounts, 6 puck clutch, adjustable master...

    What did you do to your Mark VIII today?

    I washed mine. I also fixed the cupholder, ash tray and gear selector. It's only day one with the car so there's plenty of little things to attend to. I did get to take some pics but seeing as i'm about to go take a nap uploading them tonight is out of the question. Tomorrow it gets...

    Mark VIII config questions

    I'm not a stranger to custom audio installs. I spent forever planning the stereo in my Firehawk and the results are fantastic. I have a full system in my saturn also and have been very happy with the results of all the installs i've done. This also isn't my first Mark VIII. I owned a 97...

    Back in the Saddle Again

    It's been three years and took a little patience on my part but today my "family" grew to three when I took ownership of a 1998 black on black LSC with octastars. no dings dents or scratches and with a few minor exceptions the interior is in mint condition as well. Only problem it currently...
