    Finally got around to installing these old prototype airsprings

    I started this today after work. I just installed one temporarily, to see how it fits and experiment with the plumbing. For those that don't remember, I bought these from Eddie, he was considering selling these, but that didn't work out. They never made it to a complete kit, but Eddie gave me...

    Broken engine mount

    There's nothing funny about a broken engine mount, but the short video is a chuckle.:D I noticed a drivetrain clunk in the green Mark VIII when accelerating hard from a stop. I took it over to Jeremi's to check out on the way home. We were going to put it on the hoist, I wanted to check...

    Shhhh...it's sleeping

    I took the 97 out of storage and put the octastars on it. Stock wheels and exhaust. CE interior wood, stock LSC seats. No big modifications, just a 373, nice jmod, and tune from Lonnie. Lotsa fun.:D

    I converted my 97 to air ride!

    I took it to Jeremi's today, and we put the air ride parts from my parts car, into the 97, which had a Strutmasters lowered coil kit in it. Thanks again Jeremi and Jerry for the help!:) The airlines, compressor and wiring were still in the car, except for the left rear sensor and solenoid...

    Replacing the black doorpad strip on a Gen 1

    I replaced the strips on my green Mark with the better ones from my parted out red Mark. The rest of the doorpad was better from the green Mark. To do this, I first removed the door pads. 2 of the nuts that hold the strip on, are behind a glued in foam piece. I didn't want to heat up or try...

    Replacing the door/bumper plastic chrome strip

    I replaced the chrome strips on my bumper today. They don't make the original part anymore. The part I used is flat on the adhesive side. That works fine for the doors and quarter trim, but the original bumper peice is angled on the adhesive side. The strip I used is a Flexi Chrome part...

    No More Hooptie!

    I put my newly painted bumper on. They did a great job on it. The shop was only a few miles away from the company that sells that chrome strip that should work on the bumper, so I got that too.:)

    I wrecked my CE

    It happened on the way to work, in bumper to bumper traffic, on a long bridge on I-75 in Detroit. A van was braking in front of me, then all of a sudden he swerved to the left, braked harder, and stopped. I couldn't move to the right because there was a car there. I hit his chrome bumper on...

    My new 97 LSC

    It's got 95k miles and an engine from a California car with 75k miles on it. It has a lowered coil conversion and a Trac Loc with 373's. I got it plated yesterday, put my 20 spokes on it, and took it for a ride to a friends house. It ran great. The ride with the lowered coils is very...

    Plug and Play Module 8

    I took the Module 8 out of my red Mark when I parted it out. I also took the air ride module, harness, and plugs. I want to use the module in my black Mark in the winter, and in the white Mark in the summer (the green Mark already has one). Since I hate connecting the wires in the car...

    Octastars-what type do you have?

    I have octastars finally (thanks again Jamie!) I've always known that there were two types of octastars, one type with frosted chrome on the holes between the spokes, the other with shiny chrome. I never noticed that they were totally different wheels though. The small holes between the...

    Outstanding Fuel Mileage

    I had to drive to Buffalo last week. As always, I like to reset my average mileage, as soon as I get on the expressway, to see how it does. I got 31.5 for the 300 mile trip!:cool: I was in no hurry, and do about 5 mph above the limit. I didn't have to run the A/C, I think that's one reason...

    A different carpet for my CE

    The carpet in my CE was in rough shape. I've been meaning to replace it with a new one. Jeremi donated this great Midnight Black carpet (thanks again Jeremi!) so I put it in today. It's really a dark grey color, and I think it looks great with the 2 tone grey CE interior.

    Engine Knocking

    I drove my 94 Green Mark VIII for the first time since winter today. I went to my friends house, and went to move my car, and it was knocking. It wasn't just a tick, it was a horrible knock. The car has about 190 k miles on it. I wasn't too worried, I was thinking it might be a broken...
