...been a month or two. Sold it, it left and never came back. 98 LSC I always wanted to own. And I did, for about a year or two. It was a good car while it lasted, gave me joy when I wanted, gave me grief when I didn't. In the end, I never found out what that car was all about. I dove it all...

I was wondering how long folks here keep their cars. I'll present my list and time lines. 88LSC, first car. 2 years 90LSC 2 years 95 Mark VIII 1 year 96 Mustang GT 1 year 94 MB S500 2 years 98 Lexus LS400 3 years 73 Lincoln Mark IV 1 year 92 LSC I will never sell. It will be 4 years...

I was wondering what was the worst car you ever owned? I think my first car, 87 Sable Wagon LS has to take the prize. Tranny was very weak. 3.0 Motor was just pure garbage and very weak. Also bought a 2000 passat Turbo 1.8 to flip, didnt know about their oil sludge problems. Dues to oil...

I bought a Lexus a few weeks ago so my 98LSC was parked in front of the house. I decided to drive to work today in my LSC and I gotta say. I still love the car. It still drives good and has plenty of power. I thought I would sell it, but I think I rather just keep it. Im not getting any calls...

I thought I'd post it here since most people here appreciate a good motoring car. I wanted this for some time, but I wanted to buy a house first and toys later and that is what I did. I closed in August, furnished the place and all. I thought I deserve a nice New Years present for myself. I had...

I started looking for my next car, this didn't go well with my current 98 LSC. It started making a howling noise coming from the motor, only when throttle is applied lightly. Doesn't matter if in gear or not. Only happens from time to time. The only other time I had this sort of noise what...

Few month ago when I used to park on the street, someone decided to double park next to my car backing into it. Front bumper is scratched up pretty badly and the headlight is scraped as well. They realized 13 inches into it that something is wrong and stopped, scratch stops and dips a bit making...

I can buy 2 front struts and 2 rear shocks for my 92 LSC, for about $85 , Motorcraft parts. Liquidation sale. I know the price is awesome, but is it worth it? I really want to go with original parts, but am wondering how good those parts are at this point being 18-20 years old. Is this the...

Its been a year and 30k miles, car put me through hell, but I still love it for reasons not clear to me.

It was a 2001-2002 model BMW 540i auto. I raced it from 0-80mph and he couldn't pass me. I must admit that once I reached 80 I slowed down and he flew by me. I am sure if we went further he would probably pass me. BMW has 4.4 V8 282HP 5-speed tranny. This is the only time I ever raced my 98...

Guys I need a driver side exterior door handle. It's for a 98 ivory Lsc. Thanks

After replacing most of the front end bushings with OEM parts, I am hearing a very faint humm coming from a driver side front wheel. I am not sure if it is normal or out of spec. It could be a bad tire for all I know. I've had cars that had a bad tire that sounded like a bad wheel bearing. I did...

How do I change or add oil in the rear end? Taking the cover off would drain the fluid, but how do I add it? Thanks.

I replaced my Arnott struts with USED 77k mile OEM struts that I got for $40 a pair and the difference is night and day. I can only imagine how much better a new pair would be. Arnotts had 10k miles on them and were so harsh, one of them making clunking noises. I love my car again.

I had the driver side strut rod bushing changed yesterday, one by the ball joint cause it was torn. At the same time they changed the ball joint itself. They removed the lover control arm to do this. Now every time I apply brakes it jerks to the left really hard. No strange noises. AS soon as...

I replaced my ABS unit today and everything is back to normal. I must say that its not the hardest job to do, but not the easiest either. Removing the brake lines from the distribution block is the hardest part. If you remove them from the top, you must remove the battery, battery tray and...

I have 2 extra HID bulbs from a 98 car I would like to sell for $100 each. Pm if interested.

I had this trip planned for a while and was getting the car ready for it. Changed plugs, valve cover gaskets and a new fuel pump. We went up to Montreal first for a concert, stayed there for a night. Drive through Adirondacks is beautiful as always. Ive done this drive a few times and its...

So I got a ABS distribution block of a 97 parts car and its not the same as my 98 one. ABS pump is different and has a different connector. Also the aluminum block is made for a 98 pump only. Part numbers of the block are not the same either. What rotten luck. Should I use the 97 block and...

After completing 800 miles of my 1200 mile trip, I got in the car to head home and found no brakes in m car. Car started to leak fluid. After finding a shop that's open on July 4 they show me a plug that blew out of the aluminum abs block. I am 400 miles away with hardly any brakes. How...
