    1997 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC OEM Sylvania HID Bulbs Work Great

    I'm selling my OEM 1997 Mark VIII LSC Sylvania HID's. They work fine and gave me no problems at all while the car was on the road. I hate to get rid of them, but the car is totaled and I need the cash. I know these lights are rare and expensive. But I don't want to overcharge too much. I'm...

    '96-'98 SVT Cobra Hood For Sale!!!!

    I have a '96-'98 Cobra hood for sale. It's brand new still in the box. It's primer white and ready to paint. The only issue is that the corners are cracked at the back (see pics). This was not discovered until the box was opened for inspection. It still had the foam rubber corner protectors in...

    1996 Mustang Cobra Convertible Coil Springs

    I've got a set of 4 1996 stock SVT Cobra convertible coil springs I need to sell. PM me with a reasonable offer. They're pretty heavy so I don't know how much it will cost to ship them. I'm guessing $20 or so through UPS. Thanks.

    Car Won't Start

    Okay. My damn car won't start! It started fine this morning. Left the house, dropped the kids off at school, stopped at the Wilco for a drink, and stopped at my mom's house on the way. When I got ready to leave mom's and go to work, she wouldn't start. It's strange because when the key is turned...

    Creaking Front End

    Okay. I have a creaking sound coming from my p/s front wheel that is driving me nuts! Last year, I installed new upper and lower control arms, sway bar links, tie rod ends, and air shocks. I didn't replace the strut rod bushings (which I should have, and I will soon). It was perfectly quiet for...

    Anger! Grrrr!

    Okay, my '97 LSC has been running fabulously...until yesterday:( Out of the blue, it started missing. As soon as it started, the ABS light came on. Then the "Check Traction Control" warning came up on the display. Then the CEL started flashing and then stayed on. The whole time, the car felt...

    I Love My Lincoln!!

    I love my Lincoln! I just wanted to say that. I’ve been a Lincoln man for many years. My first Lincoln was a 1962 suicide-door Continental. It was forest green with a white leather interior. It had a 340hp 430 V-8, auto, power steering/brakes/windows and seat, a/c, am/fm radio, cruise, tilt, and...

    For Sale: 1996 Lincoln Mark VIII

    Yet Another 0-60 Run

    Hi all! Since everybody's doing 0-60 runs, I figured I'd throw one in here too. This is my '96 Mark VIII. I was actually pretty impressed. According to the video, it did it in about 6.8 seconds. Not bad at all for a 15 year old car with 204K miles! Anyway, I'm happy with it. YouTube -...

    Wheel Spacers

    I'm just playing with an idea. Has anyone ever used wheel spacers on their Mark's? I'm asking because I have never really liked how the factory wheels look like they're tucked under the fenders. I would prefer a more "flush" look. I'm wondering if I use 1/2" or 1" wheel spacers, would the lugs...

    Is Lincoln Still A "Premium" Luxury Division?

    I think not. Lincoln, a once great premium luxury division of Ford Motor Company, has gone decidedly down market in the past decade or so. With the demise of the Mark series and the LS, Lincoln has been left with nothing but inferior, badge-engineered FWD pseudo-luxury vehicles with which to...

    Front Air Spring/Shock Updated Design

    Okay, I just got around to starting my "project". This is an idea I had recently for a new front air spring/shock design that has a separately removable air spring and shock unit. With this design, the air spring or shock can be replaced independently without having to buy the entire unit. If...

    The 5.0 Has Landed Down Under

    I know this is off-topic, but I'm a HUGE fan of the Australian Ford Falcon and thought I'd post that the Mustang GT's 5.0L Coyote V-8 has made it to the Falcon. In Aussie supercharged FPV GT tune, it puts out about 450hp (give or take) and a whole buncha torque (don't have my NM to FT-Lb...

    Well This Just Plain Sucks!

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100901/ap_on_en_tv/eu_britain_top_gear Well crud! I guess I can't claim to be the Stig anymore:rolleyes:. But on a more serious note, that simply ruins the mystique of the Stig. It really sucks that his identity was revealed. The Stig is one of the best parts...

    Just Playin' Around

    I was just playing around with my image editor and came up with this. I took a picture of my '96 Mark VIII and chopped the roof and body, lowered it, and cut off some of the front and rear overhang. I think it looks pretty decent. The roofline is the only place I think it needs some work...
