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...

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...

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...

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...

This will be the first official repair for the car in my hands. Is it as straight forward as it appears (or seems to appear from just standing there staring at it), or is there some amazing and fascinating trick to any particular parts? I did a search and didn't see anything specifically about...

Yes, tonight I brought home my black/tan 95 LSC!! It's BLACK!!! I've aaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyysssssss loved black on these cars. This thing is AMAZING!!! I haven't gotten the universal remote thing to program yet, but I will keep on it. I cleaned it up a bit for...

Many of you are familiar with my frequent, whiny, annoying posts about my search for a suitable Mark for a daily driver. Well, Sunday while having a minor hissy about how I'd seen at LEAST a half dozen nice ones, a black LSC literally crossed my path. I spied a for sale sign. I instructed my...

If so...does anyone have any better pics of this color? http://images.autotrader.com/images/2003/11/7/147/577/644063195.147577893.IM1.MAIN.565x421_A.562x421.jpg Just how purple is it? The picture obviously is not of a good quality. The car is low miles, and quite affordable...but...it's...

Found one in an online ad that's been for sale awhile. It's about two hours north of me, it looks like. 96 base model, I'm assuming, and it's $7,950 OBO. It's Ivory Pearlescent according to the ad, the picture is a typical so-so style online ad pic. Ad also says it's being sold due to health...

I'm now finally healing from my wisdom tooth extraction (weeee happy fun). Thursday, still talking funny, Mike and I stopped by two places with 96 Marks. One was a pearl/white LSC. Asking price $6500. As soon as we got out of the truck to look at it, I wanted to get back IN the truck. The...

So, in my searching for a Mark, I've found that the prices in Vegas are significantly lower than here in Phoenix. In comparing prices, I'm finding similar cars to be 1-2 thousand dollars cheaper in the Las Vegas area. Around here, for example, everyone wants 7-8 grand for a 96 approaching or...

I live in the Phoenix area and I'm looking for a good Mark VIII for a daily driver. I am looking/hoping for: Dark color or silver. Not hot on light/pastel shades. Mileage under 100,000. The lower, the better, of course. Under $8,000 ~6 would be ideal... Interior color other than tan...

I can't take the 116* heat in my non-a/c uncivilized beast much more, despite how much I may adore the car. Mike and I are now going to actively look for a Mark VIII. Here's one we're about to go check out, please advise...

Well, some of you might remember my posting here saying I'm in the market for a driver and leaning heavily towards Mark VIIIs. I'm still wanting to get one, pretty much planning on it, just don't know how long it'll be at this point. Hopefully only off by a matter of weeks. Mike and I SHOULD...

Howdy, I'm looking at getting a Gen 1 Mark VIII for a daily driver. At 5'2", I do not trust driver's side air bags, period. I am wanting to disable the air bag, yet keep it in place should there be a need to sell the car or something. Has anyone here done this or seen anything about it...

Hi all, I was referred to this site by Sandy as I'm in the market for a daily driver and am considering a Mark VIII. I've always found them appealing, but don't know much about them. I've been looking for a good rundown on specs by year, typical price ranges for various conditions, general...
