    eep! Motor stumbling, wanting to die

    OK, had a CE light for a bit, but felt nothing. My g/f said it was stumbling and losing power when she drove it Saturday. I noticed nothing until driving home Monday, when it was stumbly and missing. Died pulling up to a light. Got her home, misfiring all the way. Noticed the CE light...

    #$^@#$ Jeanne

    I am *so* farking sick of hurricanes. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v396/MGDavisOrlando/Jeanne.jpg I live somewhere in the gray dot right next to an H. Here goes another week without power!

    OK, the 18's are battering my front end...

    ...pretty hard because the roads here are either a) crap, lor b) torn up for construction. Getting a shudder in the steering wheel. Well, it was barely there with the stock wheels, but the stiffer sidewall is exacerbating it. Poly bushings? Other ideas? Regrads, Michael

    OK, the prices on eBay talked me into it!

    Was thinking that I would just replace the stock speakers, but eBay was an evil temptress... Have an Infinity Reference 6 ch (80x4, 150x2 @2) amp and a pair of 10" Infinity Reference subs enroute. Any suggestions for a sub box that works well for a Mark, and interior speakers? What size...

    What was the dash stickum thing?

    I remember seeing something that keeps your cell phone and other stuff in place on your dash. Can't remember what it was called though, and my searches here are coming up blank. Anybody remember what I'm talking about? Got a link? Regards, Michael

    Would a new Ford Mach MP3 head unit work?

    Been checking that famous auction site, and I see several Ford factory head units that play MP3s & CDR's and, obviously, fit our dashes. Not looking for big sound anyway, but would like mp3 functionality. My factory 10-stack handles CDR's, but not MP3. Is the Mach unit a direct plug and play...

    Anybody got stock JBL speakers sitting around?

    OK, so all my fun money is going into performance mods for now. May do a whole system down the road someday. But for now, I'd like to swap in some unblown speakers. Reading the very helpful (though equally as bleak) advice on a speaker-only upgrade, I was wondering if I could cadge a set of...

    '97 third cat and resonator, 56K on it.

    Figured one of you California guys could use this. Took it off today when my custom exhaust went on. Make me a reasonable offer. I figure shipping to the left coast would go about $25. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v396/MGDavisOrlando/IM000697.jpg

    Exhaust done, w00t!

    Got the Magnaflow delivered yesterday despite UPS's best efforts to lose it. Spent this a.m. finding a custom (read: willing to play fast and loose with the cat) exhaust shop. Had the good-old-boy that owns the place cut it all off from the bottom of the downtubes back, and weld in the...

    So what speakers do you guys recommend?

    I've been known to turn the volume up a bit high in my car. Of course the super-fragile JBL speakers are giving up the ghost. Any recommendations for upgraded speakers? The stock amp puts out plenty of power for me. I'm just sick of the buzzy, blown rear speakers. What size are the door and...

    $25 bounty for a part, I've scoured all my local salvage yards

    If you can hook me up with a '97 (only that year will work) Ebony driver's door panel that's in anywhere close to minty shape, I'll pay you a $25 bounty. Call your local salvage yards, steal one off the guy across town's car (kidding!), whatever. No, pointing me to an ebay auction doesn't...

    Aaaargh!

    So I was bidding on a pair of door panels (only needed driver's side)on that famous auction site, and missed out on the final snipe because I fell asleep while reading a book. "It's OK," I thought, "There's another one going on that I'll scoop up with Buy It Now." Of course, the second bidder...

    1998 Mark VIII LSC Ivory Pearl/Ivory

    Beautiful car, Mike. I'm a sucker for pearlescent white on any luxury car. It's the only color that whitewalls go with that well. The ivory interior and chrome wheels complement it well, too. Ever think about a slight sensor lowering, about 1 inch front and rear? Keeps the appearance stock...

    Setup opinions?

    This is all stuff I have already ordered, still debating on model or brand, parts already here, or done. Opinions? Anything else I can do with, say, another $500-1K, focused on further perfomance mods? I'm thinking maybe a 100-125 shot, but I'm leery of NOS in general, preferring something...

    Simple but flexible exhaust setup

    After surfing through a bunch of threads, I think what I want to do is a 2.5" Magnaflow dual/dual in place of my third cat with straight pipes all the way to the back. If that ends up too loud (though consensus seems to be it isn't), I can always have mufflers added later. What size can should...

    Any Photochop gurus out there?

    I'm thinking about doing just the grille and surround on my base Toreador Red 97 in body color, like an LSC. Want to leave the rest of the chrome to go with the bling-bling wheels. Could somebody pshop a pic of the car with the grille and surround in body color so I could consider it? I have...

    base 97 Toreador/Ebony

    Best part is, I've got $4000 in it to date INCLUDING the chrome 18's... Base '97 Toreador Red/Ebony, 56K miles. Nitto 225 & 245/40R18, JMOD, trans cooler, sensor lowered, slightly illegal tint. 3.73's, and trac-loc enroute. Down the road ... Chip, driveshaft, intake, exhaust...
