I'm the kind of LS enthusiast who'll stare at an LS harder than something exotic (true story as I saw a silver 00-02 LS next to a Nissan GT-R when I was downtown, guess which one got more attention from me). These pictures simply do not do justice at all, as I saw one just like yours a few years...

It's pretty limited. You can do an LS engine, but you'll have to program the DBW (Drive By Wire) setup, unless you convert it. On the plus side, you can run a speed density setup on the engine, as it doesn't require a full PCM to run. If you do this swap, you'll also have to grab a T56, or...

You can buy an LS. That's about it.

I think Lincoln pulled it off in more style. 4 door convertible with suicide rear doors.

Yeah I'm replacing it with my lid.

Since the dealership didn't want to release the title to my bank here in Denver for the white 2006 LS, I've decided to pick up an 01 LS V8 here. Good news is that the usual clockspring, DCCV, window regulators, and coils are bad (4 and 6). Also needs new pads and rotors. Has door damage as well...

If you're looking for sound, just get the kit. Know that the factory cold air intake setup is better than any aftermarket system out there for the LS, regardless of all the claims put out there about "12HP".

Anything on the LS is difficult, but for some reason, we are still driving them. There's a special thing to owning an LS, I'm still not sure what. But try owning a V6 where you have to remove the intake manifold to get to coils. Everything and a half is mounted onto the intake manifold. This...

You can take out the spare tire... and the engine covers. And coast to red lights or off ramps. And keep the tank at a quarter... And have little windshield washer. You don't really need two kidneys, and I think shaving the beard will save weight. Oh and jeans, man they are heavy! Windshield...

Why would you put in a less powerful engine? You're basically taking a Town Car engine (which is slow already) and making it haul an additional 500 pounds while also fighting the wind coming against the car. Suddenly your "reliable" engine becomes worse than the standard engine, due to the...

The benefits of plastic body panels: baseballs cannot dent it, but they can crack it. The insurance company will salvage it, but since you are keeping it and finding parts will take the rest of eternity to find (and repaint), I would go for the cheapest method there is (I'll talk about it...

Yeah I discovered them completely worn after I had installed my engine back and ready to put on the valve cover back on (this was about 8 months ago). It's been like this for longer, but hasn't caused any serious problems (other than the occasional stalling and lean condition). If I had to be...

I have a V6 with over 210k on the clock. First things first: EGR. The engineers at Ford thought it would be a great idea to send the exhaust gas through a U-Shaped passageway on the intake manifold. Turns out it builds up with carbon! This will cause high NOx reading on the emissions. You'll...

Those are good finds. Except I learned that mileage doesn't dictate overall condition. For example: I drove a 2004 V8 with 95,000 miles, and that thing was already falling apart. Power steering was gone, transmission was bogging, engine response was ehh. Needed a DCCV, clockspring, many...

$9,690 is still cheaper than anything here in Colorado right now. If I were to buy a LS right now in Colorado at an amazing 2.5% for a $10,500 loan amount (taxes and dealer fees included... which is exactly what it would cost here) for 48 months, I'd be in $11,044 after financing and...

Interest is a horrid 18.13%. With fees included, the car is $7,006 and some cents. $6,899 loan (including the $99 loan fee), with $200 and remainder at the dealer, and the $500-something in taxes that I'll have to pay up here when I do get it up here. Wells Fargo (at least in my case) doesn't...

Plan on wrapping the entire car in 3M gloss black after I get it paid off in two years (paying it off early so that there isn't so much weight on my shoulders). Thought about wrapping the entire car in black chrome too, but that is wrong. And I'll be pissing off literally everyone on the road.

Just got approved for $201.87 for 48 months. Actually flying out of here on the 28th of this month instead of August 3rd. Paying one hell of an interest though.... Guys replaced coils and plugs, with no oil in the chamber, so I'm golden there. No oxidation on the headlamps either! Also the...

It's a 2001 V6. Yeah, I'm going to steal the REM, all the window regulators, the clockspring, the door actuators, the degas tank, and the moonroof motor; if they are the same. These are all new parts, and these items are bound to fail down the road.

I find this forum very useful for an aspiring mechanic. One should own an LS; they will quickly learn how to fix a car. Brilliant piece of Ford engineering gone terribly wrong with pretty shady cost cutting methods (plastic timing chain tensioners, plastic clips on window regulators, some...
