    My second Mark VIII project

    Well my first Mark VIII story can be found here in two threads: as a first time M8 owner and as it was hauled off after some jarkarse was texting and driving. (Libruhls) After driving to Oklahoma from Texas, I’m very happy with my new ride and already beginning to transform it.

    Can I get my Camber back in range with new components?

    Everybody seems to agree that when you run out of camber on a Panther, you have to widen the camber bolt hole. I know it’s a relatively easy job, but has anybody solved their camber issue by replacing a different component? Lower control arms, uppers, bushings ? I get the feeling there is a...

    LATEST news on strut rod bushings?

    My SRB’s are squeaking and causing a slight pull. I plan to replace the LCA’s and SRB’s ASAP. I can already guess people are going to jump in with pasted replies or from old experiences but I did search before posting this and found nobody has RECENT news on SRB’s. Just as Hyundai is no longer...

    Just totaled my Mark VIII

    Not even a year in and some **** runs a red light and now we're going to have to dispute this crap because he's claiming I ran it. Man I feel so screwed. I put the finishing touch on the interior less than an hour before. I really could cry right now but I'd rather punch the kid in his smug...

    98 Intake Manifold Torque Sequence/Specs

    I've just have to pull my upper manifold (if that's the piece with two runners and the throttle body mating surface) to replace my fuel injectors. I'll touch on why I had to do that in another thread to help anyone else with a similar problem. But while I was removing the upper intake, I...

    Any mod for 2005+ information display??

    The information display in between the tachometer and speedo....is there ANY mod for this? Can any flash change the info it displays or how it displays? I ask because now that I have the Mark VIII I can’t stand the fact that my 10-year-younger car can’t display numerical instantaneous MPG!!! I...

    I need Headlight/Tail Light restoration help

    I’m kind of spoiling my restoration thread, but I need help or it will never be done. I stripped the chrome from the tail light reflector. I want to do the same with my headlights because it has water damage as well. So I have all of my lamps split open. At this point the ONLY thing I need to...

    My first Mark VIII Project

    Have kind of lusted over these cars for a few years, mostly because they were Lincoln's latest PERSONAL luxury vehicle. I derive the most pleasure from my car's pampering features and ergonomics, so it's only magnified whenever everything is driver-oriented. I test drove two before this one...

    Help: Interior Repairs, dye, recover, paint etc

    I just bought this one-owner. It spent a lot of its time in the sun drying out and otherwise enduring wear and tear. I do have a number of questions so that I can do things right the first time and with the best available (accessible) solutions at hand. 1. Headliner I don't want to put this in...

    Stereo Static

    I have a cassette-only JBL system. Whether using cassettes (not an adapter) or using the radio, there is a noticeably high noise floor. In between songs in any moment of silence, it sounds like a little white noise. Think those crappy boom-boxes from the 80's-90's, you know it's on even when it...

    My first Mark VIII

    I've had a total of 3 previous Lincoln models, my Mark V was the first. I'm a mechanic and I'm trying to do the best I can for my one-owner Mark VIII I've just bought. It's a base 1998. No moonroof, which I prefer. I'll be posting a LOT of questions here, as I know how quirky high-tech luxury...
