    annoying beeping

    01 v8 LS Sport 159,xxx A few days ago when I started the car, it started beeping- the same sound when the car hits low fuel, senses an oil change, tail light out, yada yada yada. Only when it does this, it doesn't display a message. I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong out of the ordinary...

    Ok, so how fast is it?

    i have been wondering recently... Considering the LS is pretty well balanced with a pretty decent suspension, how fast is it around the track? I've heard V8 LS's will beat a GT stang around the twisties.. but really how fast is the car? ...I love my IRS

    LS takes semi-retirement

    So i decided that it's time to let the LS sit for a while and purchase a DD.(LS has 154k miles) Was looking at 05+ mustang gt's but soon realized I've wanted a GTO since I bought the LS. So last night, I went and picked up an 04 goat. I'll get more pics up as soon as I get a chance. 04 GTO...

    Ipod interface

    I've given up trying to figure this one out... I have the Kenwood DDX512 head unit with the Kenwood Ipod cable installed to the back of the unit. When I connect the cable to the ipod and select Ipod from the head unit screen, it says disconnected, but you can play the Ipod through the system...

    Pictures from Pittsburgh Meet 7/29/08

    Well, I finally got to posting these. This meet was planned rather quickly, but gave us a taste of what we could do in this area. My goal is to have another one before the summer ends. The Pearl Blue LS is mine, and the black one is workin_ike's, which is an 06. Pictures are from New Kensington, PA.

    Black glue

    Ok, I've searched for a while, but can't find any threads telling me what to do if I have the dreaded black glue on the headlights. I want to clear my signals and corner markers, but I have the non gray glue. What do I do???? :confused:

    Honest opinion-clockspring

    I've searched for awhile and cannot find any threads actually telling one how to change the clockspring. If any can post a link for one, that'd be great. So, is this something I should do, or send it to the dealer?

    Finally, pictures of the LS

    After several requests, I finally made time to take some pics after a wash and coat of wax. One of the very few Pearl Blue Clearcoat Metallics out there. Let me know what you think. Also not my repair on the lower grill door which saved me $800 dollars, and I will eventually color match it. Any...

    Natrona Heights, PA LS spotted

    Today around 8:00 PM I spotted a black first gen LS with tint and black rims turning onto 908 from Freeport Rd. in Natrona Heights, north of Pittsburgh. It looked like there might have been other mods. Is it any of ours here? I've never seen it before and the Allegheny Valley is my stomping...

    Rear alignment

    Has anyone had any trouble with tire wear in the rear? I mean like tread being gone on tires less than 8 mos. old. I don't really spin tire so there must be something bad back there. Any suggestions?

    Eibach's

    Before I order and waste about 300 big ones... can you guys tell me whether or not these Eibach's are the same as the ones on LSK? Ken doesn't seem to have any numbers listed to find out. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CNBK04?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=pricegrabber2-auto-20&linkCode=asn

    In-dash DVD

    Question: I was looking on crutchfield about putting an in-dash DVD player to replace the stock head unit, kind of like the nav system in the newer LS's, well, that's the look I'm going for anyway. I can't seem to find the right kind of set up where the entire screen is sealed in the dash for...

    Sub wiring

    I've began pondering the idea of putting a subwoofer(s) in my 01 LS. I've already got an amp. However I want to ask you guys how you did the wiring. I DO NOT want to replace the stock head unit, but I want to be able to control the bass signal. Any suggestions?

    Customizing the LS

    hey guys, just a few questions... I just ordered the KKM intake this morning. Can't wait to install. I'm still using the stock intake tube. Would there be any difference in buying an aftermarket tube since theyre expensive? Also- I know absolutely nothing about the PCM system in the LS...

    Goofy electronics

    I know this has been discussed before but I didn't know what to search for. My cruise control on my 01 V8 isn't working properly as are my stereo controls on the steering wheel. Buttons assigned to one task are doing things they aren't supposed to. How do I fix that? Also- I'm looking for...

    VCG replacement

    Just a question: I'm going to be replacing the driver side valve cover gaskets soon. Which side is the driver- right or left? lol. If I had to guess it would be right (from the front) with the part # XW4Z-6584-AB Gasket Kit Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Fascia

    Got a problem here... I've gotten the LS stuck in snow and ice about 5 times the last three days. I have the little door in the lower fascia to get to the LS's lack of a towhook. I used a heavy chain to get the car unstuck and I think it damaged my "door". I checked it yesterday and it was...

    The Dreaded Valve Cover Gaskets

    I had coil that went bad (#7) the other day and I replaced it the next day. There was oil where the coil was which i'm guessing shorted it due to probable leaky gaskets. I had work done on them when I bought the car 9 months ago but I don't know which side was done. How long should I expect this...
