    OT: Info about Charlotte, NC area.

    Gastonia is 30 mins away and is def. "smalltown USA" although Charlotte is inching closer and closer. My father lived there 30 years ago haha. On the other side is Concord, etc. I really don't know much about that part of the state.

    OT: Info about Charlotte, NC area.

    sorry no help but I've been IT in Raleigh and soon to be Greensboro. Only been to Charlotte once but its def. a "big" city. Crime is bad in certain areas and the traffic is HORRENDOUS. Should be a good IT market. Charlotte is a pretty big financial center (corporate home to alot of banks), if...

    Whats with the GTP's

    along the same lines above, have you thought about buying a beater and keeping the LS? Seriously, a 93-98 Honda Civic(Accord, prelude) could be had for cheap, gets good gas mileage, FWD for winter, tough as a damn tank (at least my sisters is). Then keep the LS for weekends and mods or whenever...

    Quoted labor charge for suspension conversion--Think that it is fair?

    all ridiculous prices. I got the entire Strutmasters system INSTALLED for $550. Thats right, the parts and labor = 550. I took it to strutmasters and let them install it. These prices were with LVC discount. I would say $50 a wheel so $200 would be reasonable for labor. Don't pay more than that.

    1/4 mile times and kill stories

    I like threads like this. Not a Mark but a looong time ago I raced my friend in a 90 240SX 5 speed stock when I was stock and raped him like nobodys business. After about 3 car lenghts I think he let up cause he fell way behind. That is the only person I have ever raced in this car. I used to...

    All Black Custom Grille...

    i see you're quite the MJ fan. I went to the same high school as him and the house he grew up in is about 2 miles down the street from my parent's house. He currently has 2 houses in the neighborhood I live in now. I have never met him but I came within about 15 feet of him a few 5 years ago.

    New Mark VIII in family

    Comparing apples to oranges. Those cars are all basically 50 years old. I need not even talk about the technological advances. The Honda's cup holders are probably more technologically advanced than all those cars put together. Hp was also measured different. Thats like comparing a F86 to a F15...

    My LS Is Gone Too!

    Sucks on the LS. I see that you have two T-birds in your sig. Why don't you just drive one of them and forget buying a car? I mean, you already got them and they're free. You talk about money issues yet then you talk about buying a new car of some sort. If you can't drive those, just buy a 5-6K...

    Running rough...

    unityerased, you really need to fix the leaking oil problem first. Buying all these other parts won't help if the plugs are continually fouled with oil.

    Running rough...

    at 170K those orginal O2's and coils probably aren't doing their job. They are WAY past due to change. Changing those parts will do u good even if it's not the overall problem.

    vibration in steering wheel and pedels

    yup a hub, CV halfshaft, motor mount busted, or needing an alignment (or combination of all these). Went through this all the time with my Integra. Not yet with the Conti. The symptoms you describe would always be the CV halfshaft on the Integra.
  19. CobraConti

    Is this normal when accelerating

    sounds like a motor mount is busted or CV axles are going. Do you need an alignment? I drop the hammer all the time in my Conti and doesn't pull at all.

    88-94 Continental sway bar upgrade from 93 Ford Taurus SHO 23mm

    Here is a swaybar upgrade you 88-94 Continental owners should be able to use, not 100% sure though. This would be a big handling upgrade! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8062548446&rd=1&sspage name=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1
