I'm local to them. Their reputation here is WELL known. I'm surprised it's taken this long for their rep to get around online.

Wow, an old thread of mine brought back from the dead. Well, I went from frustrated to not having one to frustrated with having a broken one. My Mark made it about two months before the tranny tanked out (the ONLY thing I didn't like about Marks was the fact that they were all automatics, I...

Thanks for the tips, all...I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get back to the topic. The car is not yet done. We're currently reeling from a huge medical bill on one of our cats (thank heavens my credit union is liberal with their personal loans), and having a bit of emergency surgery on one...

I've been searching for a bit looking for how-tos on the removal and replacement of the tranny and haven't found much. Have I overlooked it? :o Hoping to start the draining and pulling this weekend so I can put in another tranny. I have not pulled an automatic transmission before, and...

Hahaha! I washed it tonight. Hands weren't happy about it, but it's important to maintain shiny goodness on the sleek lines. I so dig these cars.

The freshening projects have started as of this past weekend (not counting the coolant reservoir tank I did the week I got the car). I now have two new air struts up front (thanks Eddie!), and it cured the air ride problem I'd been having. My left front bag was this cracked, deflated mess...

RE: Ball joint-like bolt (sensor mount) broke -help- (p Cool, so I'm not the only one that's broken one of these things! :) I appreciate the part number. Guess it'll give me a good excuse to order/get the stuff to do the tranny service as well. The nut isn't even the slightest bit sticky on...

RE: Ball joint-like bolt (sensor mount) broke -help- (p We're lucky enough to have a VERY good parts guy locally who works with our Mustang club (he's already got me a coolant reservoir for the car for cheap) who not only is a parts guru, but gets us discounts. We've got the thing in by a...

Replacing the air struts on the LSC today, and had a bit of a mishap. The bit mentioned on item #10 on http://mark8.org/lod/strut.htm snapped. No idea what this lovely thing is technically called, and no idea whether or not I'll be able to procure one on a Sunday at a parts store. Here's pics...

How often do you hear that when someone sees you with your Mark VIII for the first time? It's been two weeks with my 95 LSC, and I'm continually asked what my "new" car is. My next door neighbor rolls up and says, "WTF IS that thing? I've been staring at it for a WEEK now!!" She then expresses...

Dark blue would be fantastic. Sorry to hear about the injury to the car, but this may well turn out to be an opportunity in disguise. Good luck!

Thanks for the kind words. The car photographs well, it seems. The body is very, very good, and black is such an unforgiving color. I plan to polish and detail it this weekend, schedule permitting. The wheels are GRUBBY! Can't tell in the pics, luckily :) The car does have an air ride...

Please keep in mind, I have not had a chance to clean the car properly yet. http://www.foureyedpride.com/images/LSC/Img_1792a.jpg http://www.foureyedpride.com/images/LSC/Img_1799a.jpg http://www.foureyedpride.com/images/LSC/Img_1803a.jpg http://www.foureyedpride.com/images/LSC/Img_1805a.jpg...

RE: I HAVE A MARK VIII!!!!!! I AM VICTORIOUS! TRIUMPH Yeah, I was in and out of the house that first night quite a bit. I finally stopped around 10pm. I'm looking forward to spending many hours in this car. My commute is SO much more pleasant. I love my GT, but it's a demanding car and...

If you like Dio and Maiden (and if people don't there's likely something wrong with them ;) ), you'll likely enjoy Iced Earth. Very talented metal band with a great catalog. They've just changed singers, and the new guy is Ripper Owens, the one that took Rob Halford's place in Judas Priest...
