Here's a few pics of the 95 LSC I just bought on 6-25-13. I couldn't believe that I found it here, in California where I live! I also have a 98 LSC Black w/ lite graphite interior, with 202,000 miles on it. bought it in 08 with 88,000 miles on it. it's my daily driver. I also owned a 98 CE, pearl w 2 tone graphite interior, back in 2000/2001. hated to let that car go!

Hey I see you are from Modesto. My wife is from Modesto.
 
I can say its been a long bumpy ride, with car running hotter then it should for the last 4 weeks , constantly burping the air out, besides that the car fires right up and tears ass down the road and i have 232K on the clock and still a tire shredder . :) Pics to follow... the car in my Sig is the same.

Yes I am. been living here for 11 years now. grew up in San Jose, was born in San Francisco. and I work in San Jose. I have a neighbor around the corner from me that owns 2 95 LSC's. I think 1 has a blown head gasket, the other is his daily driver.

And because there are so many beautiful cars in one place, I humbly submit one of a zillion gorgeous pics of JOWDROPA and friends. My thanks are always to Jeff and Mark VIIIs of the State of New York for utter sexiness and inspiration. YUM.

Sorry for going *slightly* off topic here guys. I just got excited. :p

huh. some people really do not see it.


the back wheel, the top of the spokes are pointing forward,
the front wheel, the top of the spokes are pointing backwards.

the front wheel is correct.

Holy crap;

Good eye! I never noticed. the tires are overdue on rotation & balancing. I'll take it in later this week, and see if they can fix that when they rotate/balance. Thanks!

Or you could just do it yourself if you have a floor jack and if your tires arent directional..flip the rears from side to side. Also both need a good sensor lowering..especially the 95! It'll make it look wayy better.
 
KeVIIIn;

I am going to put 245/50-16's on the 95 soon. this car sat for a lot in its life, and I think it still has the original tires on it, and I think those tire cords have flattened out a bit, because it vibrates the car at hiway speeds, even after I had the tires balanced. wasted $40.00! when I get the new tires on it, I'll do the sensor lowering, then I'm going to have the windows tinted, to help save the beautiful interior. Thanks!
 
Chris2523;

Got the wheels swItched back today, rotated & balanced! All's good now. Plus, I got the headlIte lens both polIshed out, and they turned out great! NIce and clear now!

you need to fix the wheels on the black one.

looking pretty sharp otherwise.
