    Raising the Flag

    I won this flag at the Lincolns of Distinction raffle in Carlisle. I wanted to put it where I would see it often. :)

    Wipers won't park or run properly

    Wipers won't park, or they won't wipe the windshield, and you can hear the motor is running when the wipers don't move. The second one happened to my 98 CE last week, the wipers would start to wipe, then just sit there. These are both problems that can be caused by the park mechanisim. It's...

    New HID's for the convertible.

    I installed these today, except for losing a headlight clip in the bumper, they went in easily enough.:D Since it's a 93, the header panel needed to be trimmed a bit. I used my small reciprocating saw, that made it easy. I've still got to do the high beam modification at the switch, and adjust...

    Shorted compressor relay

    I was driving to work and heard the compressor come on every once and a while for a short time then stop. I've got the power wire to the air ride module connected to a cigarette lighter adapter, so I unplugged it, but the compressor kept coming on. I finally had to pull the compressor fuse...

    BMW Traction Assist installed in Mark VIII

    We got dumped on, with 6" of snow yesterday. I drove my green 94 in to work with summer tires and no Traction Assist option. I stopped by Jeremi's on the way home, and we installed the Traction Assist he had in his garage. It works great! It's a BMW transmission in the trunk::D

    Fuel injector trouble?

    My 98 has been starting very rough to the point I have to keep revving it up until it clears out and runs fine. I'm thinking it's an injector or 2 that's leaking/plugged and flooding out the cylinders until it warms up. Anyone ever have this problem before?

    Heater Blower Motor Stops Working

    This is common on the Mark VIII. It's usually the wire going to the blower motor from the module. You can see the white connector gets burned up on the orange wire side. I've had to replace this a few times, but I ran out of good spares. Luckily I saved the old ones and just used the good black...

    Air ride compressor stops after about a second

    Then I get the hard fault and the check air ride message. Anyone ever seen this before? I'll start by looking at the relay and compressor first, then maybe the wires going to them. This car has had some problems with wires before.:)

    Another rig job on the CE exhaust

    I bought the CE 10 years ago. It was an auction car, it was previously wrecked in the RR quarter and front end. When they repaired the quarter, they just cut off the muffler, I'm guessing it was damaged in the wreck. I got a spare muffler with enough pipe on it, to connect it using a short...

    Gen 2 cup holder won't close

    This is strange, all of a sudden it won't close, it moves up to about an inch of closing but then it hits a hard stop. Anyone ever seen this before?

    A little snow on the 97 and 94

    I was out of town a couple days and came home to a few inches of snow. It was a good opportunity to excersize the cars a bit, and I had to remove the Module 8 from the convertible to put it in the winter beater anyway. It was a good time to top off the airsprings for storage too.:D

    Replacing the steering rack on the CE

    I'm replacing the rack on the winter beater CE. I normally enjoy working on these cars, but this one is a real pain.:) It started out as a rusted hydraulic line, but I couldn't get one of the rack mounting bolts out. Since I had to remove it, I thought I'd just replace the rack with a rebuilt...

    Convertible Conversion, one Modification?

    I'm hoping to bring the convertible to Carlisle next year, would the conversion be one modification or many?

    Plasti dip on 20 spoke wheels

    I bought some new snow tires for my winter beater. I had been using some old snowflake wheels for my snow tires before, but they always seem to leak. I decided to use my painted 20 spokes this time, since I don't care for them anyway. I don't want to destroy them though. My brother had painted...

    Fixing a Cloudy Side View Mirror

    This is from my 97, although I've done this on my green 94 as well. I carefully pulled the mirror off, it snaps off easily, but be careful, the heater and dimming wires are short. Then I unplugged the wires. Then I cut the rubber rim around the mirror off, and cut the wire off of it with some...
