A few weeks ago I parked my mark 8 that was running perfectly fine aside from the leaking tires, a few minor electrical problems, broken headlight switch, smashed front end from hitting a deer. If you're from MN or around the area you can come pick it up for $1,250. I'll get pictures up next week.

Well, after numerous stops to a gas station to air up tires, using a vise grip to turn on headlights, using a tweezers to turn the O/D on, having to readjust my battery connectors once in a while, check the transmission fluid every other week, driving under 70 MPH to keep vibration in check...

how come "reaction time" in drag racing is more like timing time??? The lights are always the same on every run, there's absolutely no reaction in that whatsoever. How come it's not like competitive swimming where as soon as you take your marks the gun is completely random, that was true...

Here's a grille I made one weekend when i didn't wanna spend 200 dollars on a used one. Originally my car was hit by someone in a parking lot and they took off so i was stuck with a few broken front end parts and a slightly broken grille. I took the grille and put the fiberglass on it. However...

Well, here is a quick (but effective) write up on changing the front sway bar links. First of all jack the car up and take off the 2 front wheels, then remove all 4 nuts on each sway bar link (there's 2 on each one). Now turn the steering wheel so you can get enough clearence to get each one...

Hello, first of; what are the known advantages of a single aluminum 93 driveshaft over the rest of the 2 piece ones?? next, does anyone know what RPM 3.73 gears shift into 2nd,3rd, 4th (or how to figure it out). Lastly, does posi-traction hurt gas mileage at all or is it only in use during...

yeah there's some cheap cobra headers that show up on ebaymotors every once in a while so before i go on a frantic search im just inquiring as to what's required to get them to fit on our mark 8s?

since were on te topic of transmission troubleshooting i got a problem. First of all when i shift from R to D it makes a clunk sound in the rear. Next, whenever i turn on the heater the car feels like an earthquake (not really but it shakes a little). what are we lookin at for problems here?

or even if someone stole your keys, or how about if someone hit and run it? maybe threw beer on it?? what if they broke the antennae? possibly put a big scratch under your door handle?? I don't about you guys, but im no longer mentally stable enough to drive a car i remotely care about.

Why is this obtained separate from the regular mark 8 service manual?? the manual is about 3 inches wide already and they can't fit in a PCM manual???? Can you get one of these on ebaymotors and do they make one for all the 4.6 DOHC engine equipped cars?

Has nyone on here ever rigged anything up to the IMRC solenoid so they can activiate it whenever they please (as opposed to just 3000 RPM). I think since our cars get a huge boost around 3000-3500 RPM that it'd probably help out a little if we could drop it down a few 100 RPMs or just make it...

Hey, I had a quick question, is our EGR valve just hooked up to the manifold and vacum line?? I waas thinking about removing it but I wanted to ask first if anyone else did to see if un-expected problems like a check engine light or a bad idle would occur. That way I can sell the new one that...

hey, i was wondering if you guys know of any other cars that have seats that could possibly fit the mark 8. I'm trying to find a seat that isn't 60 lbs (preferably 20-30 actually) and none of this power garbage. If no one knows of anything I'll go to junkyards and try to find some seats then...

hey, what's the spec of an X pipe that iwll fit on a 1994. I was gonna cut off the 3rd cat and bring it to an exhaust shop and get an X pipe welded up. Do those front catylitic converters clog before the 3rd one does?? I'm worried I might have clogged cats, I only pull like 24 MPG on the freeway...

Ah, when testing out the Gtec i was too scared to break the tires loose and it seems that cost me. Initially i gave it a decent amount of gas, not too much then I floored it shortly thereafter and to my success no tire spin. However the car seemed like a dawg from 2500-3000 and up... Wasn't sure...

what is the lightest rim for our car?? The snowflakes are what... 28 lbs a piece?? What would something like the 15 inchers from an MN-12 cost or are the snowflakes 15 inches?

Alright, all you guys must have n idea for an economy car.. Well I did a little research and surprsingly the 95-99 DOHC neons are 150 HP and a shade under 2400 lbs, and get 35-40 MPG on the highway! I hate to say it, but a DOHC neon is probably my choice of economy cars after researching all of...

Alright, I want some serious attention here to the potenital benfeits of ethanol in a mark 8. Now our cars already like high octane and since 85% ethanol is a good 105 what are the potential problems in our cars? I can't understand why people don't pay any attention to ethanol, cleaner engines...

Here's the deal... some dim-wit nailed my car in a hit and run a few weeks ago and I need a couple parts here... I'm from MN if anyone is wondering about shipping. I need a front side driver's fender, grille, both headlights, the headlight housing thing and the front driver's corner lamp. It...
