    Sorry to hear about the health problems JP. I'm going through a tough time as well. Vivian is scheduled for heart surgery on Wednesday and Mark decided to let his rear sag just yesterday so he will be operated on soon as well. Here's to a speedy recovery!

    speakers "popping"

    About 2 months ago I had to get a fuel pump replaced in the Mark. I had them put in a high output pump when they did this. A few weeks afterwards I started to hear some occasional "popping" from the speakers. It wasn't frequent at all and I just ignored it. Fast forward a few more weeks...

    Lod T-shirts

    Could I get a Gen I. My previous one looks like it was used to wipe up a bottle of wine. Wasn't happy about that. Is it a white shirt with black outline? If not I'm alright with the black shirt.

    Mark VIII sponsers/suppliers

    Bill came through for me :) O'Rielly's was going to be my fallback if I hadn't gotten one elsewhere by this evening. With some luck the Mark might be back on the road by tomorrow evening. Just have to hope the UPS guy makes it here by midday tomorrow.

    Mark VIII sponsers/suppliers

    I'm sure I'm just anxious to get a response since I needed the part yesterday.... but has anyone heard from a sponser or a vendor that sells fuel pumps lately? I've got calls into two different places and haven't heard back from either. My car is sitting up at a shop waiting for me to get...

    HELP - break into my own car

    I'll elaborate more now.... I woke up in the middle of the night and suddenly just thought about it. Of course I had to do something about it right away and I couldn't go back to sleep. After some brainstorming the jack seemed like the easy solution. That wasn't as easy as I thought. I...

    HELP - break into my own car

    the only trick to this is I can't have any damage 2 days ago my drivers side door exterior handle broke. Last night I parked under the car port... with the passanger side door so close to a pole I can't really open it. I can open it but not enough to get myself in there, my head fits but I...

    Repairs are completed. My dad came down and we did everything together. Took a total of about 4 hours. Struggled with the bolt on the drivers side air spring. Probablly spent 45 min trying to get it out. It just got caught on the last two threads.... what a PITA that was. Then the other...

    I'll be sticking with the air. Ordered a pair of air springs and a new compressor/dryer just a little while ago. Guess I'll be daily driving the Trans Am until next Friday or so. :(

    front suspension problem

    UPDATE: both front bags are "torn." And there is apparently a leak near the condenssor of the compressor. Dealership wants $2700 to fix it all. By the end of the night I will have decided if I want to do it myself or not. I'll probablly be doing it myself :(

    front suspension problem

    going through the strut replacement FAQ's and grabbing pics this is the closest one. I'm not quite sure if thats what I'm actually meaning to describe or not. (Circled in red top left corner). Hard to tell from that viewpoint. But its definetly in that area. Guess I'll find out for sure...

    front suspension problem

    If you are looking straight at the wheel. There is the arm that extends outwards and then runs down and dissapears behind the wheel. (I didn't take the tire/wheel off). Behind the arm is the actual bag. On top of the arm there is the what I'm calling "rubber grommet." Its most likely...

    Buick Riviera vs Mark VIII

    First hand performance comparison: I wound up racing one with my 96 base model a few years back. (The supercharged car) Up until about 95 he was hanging around my rear fender. By 110 I had him by a car. By 120 I was gone. Afterwards I talked to the guy and he hated the car and was about to...
