    FS: '96 Black/Gray LSC under 120k miles.

    Hey, Guys. I have to reluctantly sell my Lincoln. My wife and I are moving back to Nantucket where gas will cost near $5/gallon, and the streets are so cramped and tight, a big V8 interstate cruiser just doesn't make sense when the highest speed limit is 45 mph. (Roger Penske has a pair of...

    Tie Rod Ends!

    I understand how the UCAs and LCAs are worth buying quality parts to replace. But for tie rod ends, do you guys shell out extra bucks for OEM tie rod ends or do you just get any old discount part? I have an intermittent clunk in the steering which I will guarantee is tie rod ends. (Boots were...

    Help with audio wiring?

    Hey, guys. I am attempting a homemade aux in to replace my annoying cd changer. Would anyone who has access mind looking up the pinouts and diagrams for a '96 LSC with the JBL cassette + CDDJ system? It has Head unit part no. F5LF-19B165-AH, CD changer F6LF-18C830-AA, and amplifier...

    Weird noise up by battery??

    So last night I heard a strange noise when I started up the car. In fact I thought it was an animal in the woods! It was like a cross between a whippoorwill cooing and a coyote yip. It has happened every time I have started the car ever since. In fact it is a little intermittent at first but it...

    Smokin pads...

    Last night I changed out my front brakes, which look to have been recently done, actually, lots of pad left. I now have Brembo solid (blank) rotors with Hawk HPS pads. Last night I bedded them in, giggling when I saw them begin to smoke, because it looks cool... :D So this morning I'm driving a...

    Quick and easy carrier/gears questions!

    What I'm attempting to prepare for is to go from the stock LSC setup to 4.10/limited slip. So I have a couple craigslisters in my sights, one is selling an 8.8" traction-lok removed from a '92 Mustang GT, and another I have to call regarding 8.8" 4.10 gears bolted to an open carrier. Do I need...

    255s on stock 16s...

    So my Michelin MXV4 "Bologna Skins" as they've been called, are just that. And almost as slimy, too, it feels like. I am looking at a new BFG tire, the g-force Sport COMP2 in a meaty 255/50-16. Falken makes a tire in the same size, sold by Discount Tire, but reviews are mediocre. Reviews (early...

    Opinions on EBC Greenstuff?

    Or: "Logres, where have you gone??" Late last night into the wee hours of the morning as I am compiling shopping carts for front end bits, I was looking into peoples' opinions of different brake pads. I think the most glowing review was logres' opinions of his Greenstuffs, but the funny thing...

    Before I put in the '93 driveshaft...

    So before I install my new-to-me solid driveshaft, I of course would like its balance to be confirmed by a shop. The second shop I called to see if they offer this service informed me that even though they can send it out for balancing, they would be unable to offer any warranty on their work...

    Salvage yard Mark VIIIs

    Mods, relocate this if necessary. Today I went down to the LKQ yard in Wayland (they call it the Grand Rapids location) to pick at a 93 they have there. It is purple on black, so far missing the driver door and rear left corner lamp, and after today the one-piece driveshaft. I also got word...

    Copied from my Craigslist posting: Pictures can be emailed but are also in the CL ad. ALSO: If anyone going to the Milan Dragway event is interested, by all means I will bring them along. :)

    Another VIII is soon to join the Great Lakes state.

    So I was let go from work this week, rather dubiously if I'm honest, but all in all it frees me to finally relocate to west MI where I was planning to get to as soon as I could anyways. I am still awaiting a decision on one application where I interviewed in person last month, and there are a...

    Back In The Saddle Again!

    Lucky you guys, you get to deal with me a LOT more often now!! :D Today I pulled the trigger on the black '96 LSC I'd been eying the past week. It has its issues as some of you know, but the price was too good to pass up, not to mention the mileage (91k). A Carfax report revealed that it was a...

    ANOTHER thread about front air suspension drama...

    OK, here is why I'm starting a new thread. I try to be good about searching, but I couldn't find a close enough topic to my scenario, so here goes: Today I put a deposit down on a '96 LSC which obviously needs some front suspension work. I say obviously because the front tends to drop rather...
