    Speaker Swap - Suggestions Please

    Hello everyone, First off - I know nothing about car audio. So beginner terms, please. I've been thinking about treating my Mark and I to an audio upgrade. Now - I bought my '95 Mark with a torn seat, a Bee Gee's greatest hits in the glovebox, and no amplifier. So that's a drawback, but if it's...

    Rear Suspension - Too high

    Hello all, I looked around on the forums trying to find something that related to this. But, I anyhow, didn't find much. Therefore I resort to this. Here's the situation; I adjusted the front many months ago to give my Mark a positive rake. No problems, worked fine. So, recently I tried to do...

    Rear Won't Inflate - New Bags

    Hello all, So my rear bags won't inflate all of a sudden. Everything I did prior; the front always drops overnight, so before I go to drive, I'd allow the front to inflate just below the rear height (to give it a positive rake). I had some people in my car, and since I hadn't flipped the switch...

    Audio (New Head Unit Radio)

    Hello everyone, I've been thinking about replacing the awful, amp-less, 22-year-old JBL speakers in my '95 Mark VIII for a while. And the time has come, I've picked out some Harmony-Audio speakers and a Belva 10" subwoofer that comes with an amplifier. I'll have to buy some door tweeters, and...

    Lowering, and Stance

    Hello all, I've been thinking about lowering my Mark VIII even more (.5" drop on it now). But I plan on getting something AWD soon, so I don't want to spend a lot of dough modifying my current car. So I was wondering; I know you can adjust the sensors so the bags will inflate creating a lower...

    Accessory Power Stays On?

    So, I noticed this in the parking lot today. I turned my car off, locked my doors, and my interior lights stayed on. I tried messing with some buttons, disconnected the battery, and nothing worked. It bothered me so much - I skipped class. On my drive home it was making the dinging noise as if...

    Lowerd Coil Kit?

    I remember looking online a while ago, and seeing lowered coil kits for the Mark VIII. Now when I look, I can't anything! All I'm looking for, is a way to prevent the air suspension error message and direct-install lowered coils (or coilovers). Does anyone know where I could something like this...

    E85 Conversation?

    Who here knows what it'd take to convert a Gen I Mark to run on E85? I've heard it's not too difficult, and can grab some massive horsepower gains from it. Thanks!

    Respray and Body Damage (Repair Shop Price?)

    Hello, all. This is a hard thing to determine, but it's worth a go. I have some minor body damage I'd like taken care of. That body damage consists of; a small dent from rubbing up against a tree stump from the previous owner, leaving a 8"x10" dent. And being barely tapped by a flatbed truck...

    Thinking Out Loud (Paint)

    So, I hope to get the body damage and paint repaired on ny car. I've got a pretty minor dent along the bottom passengers door, and a pretty banged up drivers side quater panel. As well as plenty of little paintchips. Roughly, how much would it cost to fix a car with minor body damage and respray...

    Rear Speaker Swap

    So, a friend of mine recently gave me a set of Sony Xplod speakers. I went into the back seat, opened the speaker cover, took out the speaker, cut the wires behind the clip, wrapped then around the new speaker +/- properly. And no sound? My car already has a Sony Xplod radio thingy (very...

    First Snowfall - need tips!

    Well - after clearing 8" of wet, thick snow of my Mark VIII. As I let the engine get up to temp, the heat defrost to do it's thing, and let the bags inflate. I cleared a path for my car, put it in reverse. Got out of the driveway, and then immediately into the ditch. I have NO traction. I have...

    Headlights - Scary Dim/Can't Find Thread

    Alright! With winter less than a month away, I'm tryna figure out why my headlights are so dim. A while, I searched this up and found a kit that was specific to the Mark VIII. But, already had a set from a different company, on its way. After I got them and what have you, they were extremely and...

    MAFs Junkyard Upgrade?

    Just the other day, I had the unfortunate event of a tiny wire breaking inside of my mass airflow sensor. So the car runs terribly, misfires, and no parts stores have an OEM replacement. And, of course, being the weekend - junkyards aren't open. Soooo, I figured might as well get the best one I...

    ABS Sensor

    I recently replaced my lower ball joint due to it 21 years old. But upon removal I had to use a cutting tool, and a sledge hammer. During all this, I fear I damaged the ABS sensor - because my ABS is light is on. Now..do I have to actually replace that ABS sensor to make the light go away? Or is...

    4 Questions, 1 Thread (Airbags, Headlights, Noises, and Engine)

    Firstly - I'll get the current things out the way. My front bags have been inflated as much as the system will let them and won't go back down. So is there a way to manually release the air? I plan to get it to my desired height and just turn it off during winter. Secondly - I've began to...

    !!!HELP!!! Can't Remove Key From Ignition Tumbler!

    Okay - here's my problem; I'll soon be converting my car to have a key for ACC. power, and a button for engine ignition. But my old tumbler broke - so I replaced it with a factory standard OEM tumbler. The new ones in I can turn on ACC. power, start the engine, and turn it off. But for some...

    Disabling Daytime Running Lights

    I've searched all over the forum, and couldn't seem to find a solid solution to disabling the daytime running lights. They're annoying, really an insult (like you aren't going to notice that you can't see the road?), and they just drain your battery. I have a big day with my Mark tomorrow...

    Key Broke in Ignition

    Okay - so pretty straight forward; key broke off in the ignition. I'll be swapping it over to push button start soon so the key will only OFF/ACC power. But I still need a reliable source until then, I have a spare key. So my question is; how do I get the old broken key out? It's in there...

    Push Button Start - Help

    So, my key snapped off in the ignition today. The tumbler needed to be replaced anyhow, so I plan on doing a toggle switch for accessory power, and a momentary off/on switch for ignition. If someone could explain or show me a diagram on how to do this - it'd be most appreciated. Thanks, y'all!
