I've been around looking at these forums for a couple years now, but never had an account. I got this car (1998 Mark 8 lsc) from my brother and I always have fixed it when he destroyed it. So now he got a ford 500 limited Awd and he up and let me have his Mark so I took it and ran. He basically always beat the hell out of this car and I always fixed it. (Fixed all 4 disc and caliper after he destroyed them. Both bushings. There was a burnt out solenoidal it the transmission. Blend door TWICE!) Ive touched alot of that car. The way I look at it is just fix it and keep it good like and old hot rod. We live in Michigan and on the outskirts of Detroit also so there's alot of nice old hot rods.
The nickname of this car has been the Mach 8, Ive seen this car beat almost every car its gone in a race against, You probably wont believe me but It even has kept up with a Lamborghini Murcielago in its draft up to the Marks rev-limiter after my brother treed the crap put of him. Let alone poor little mustangs. You don't have to believe me, im just telling you what happened. I have video. And yes my brother is an A-hole for going that fast you don't have to tell me. He would drive to work that fast every single day.
That's the story of the car and needless to say I won't be following in his footsteps. This car has been through its paces to say the least. So now im gonna tell you about even more blasphemy and how when i got it the car was sitting a whole 3 inches off the ground front and back (was bouncing up and down like a boat on the way to the shop I actually got sea sick no joke and it scraped the ground pretty bad pulling in). I have paid $1400 to get it converted from air suspension to coil spring, alignment, front left control arm and whatever else on the suspension that was destroyed after my brother was jumping curbs at bell-isle on racetrack part.
I have gotten it converted due to basically due to both bags in the front and one on the back has been destroyed, and the compressor / dryer failing shortly after that.
Here are the pics as of today and im pretty sure I have to fix yet another bushing. They will be done fixing / maiming it at 5pm I hope. Ill be very interested to see how it rides and will post later to tell you.
