Well I figured I might as well post here in the New User area, even though I am technically not a new user. It's just been years since I have been on here. I sincerely doubt that anyone would remember me. I own a black 94 Mark VIII that I spent some time and money on to get it to perform...

I wasn't really sure where to put this, so I thought I'd add it here. A mod I did to my Mark VIII, just got finished with it last night at about 2AM. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRHX6FEz7Wg

No, not THAT 94. :) I have purchased a donor car that I am pulling the engine and transmission out of, and a few other minor parts. Everything else is up for grabs. The exterior is dark metallic green and the interior is tan. Every body panel is dent and rust free, the interior is so so...

On the off chance that anyone was missing me (which I doubt, hah!) I had heart attack #4 and have been recuperating, and as such I haven't been spending much time online. I did find the time to post up this video, though, and as Mark VIII people I am sure you will appreciate it. Feedback and...

This isn't Lincoln specific, although you can be darned sure that MY Lincoln will be going down the track. I thought it might be nice to post up an event that those of us who are in the middle of the country might be able to attend and meet at. If it doesn't belong on the board or is in the...

13.99 at 98.04 mph on a VERY soft launch and street tires, MOTOR ONLY. 2.16 60' so that should show you how soft I was launching. I'll run it again next week (weather permitting) with the DRs and see what it'll turn... Whoo hoo!

I didn't know where to post this, so I put it here. Took the car to the dyno, have been doing a lot of motor work on it lately and wanted to see what the benefit was. So I made pulls on motor only, no nitrous, and got this result that I was REALLY pleased with: 257 horsepower and 259 ft/lbs...

Well, in 15 BC the Roman architect Vitruvius invented the odometer, so besides the door hinges that is probably the most simplistic piece of my car and it's broken. I was driving along and noticed that only one mile had gone by since my last oil change according to the little sticker on my...

So, I was doing my taxes today, and before you can e-file you have to enter one of those "enter the letters" things so they know it's a human and not a robot or something on my end of the screen. This is the text they gave me to enter. It pretty much mirrored my mood exactly.

Today's recipe is Headlights Ala Mark. To start with, purchase a 93-96 Mark VIII. Carefully remove the headlights and set aside. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place headlight on baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and use a flatheaded screwdriver to separate the lens...

12.42 @ 109.68 MPH. And that was spinning the tires, so I am sure it has a 12.3 in it. I also set a new motor only pass time of 14.35 @ 95.10 MPH. I'll post over at the fastest time thread once I get the slip photo online.

For the last year I have been trying to coax my Mark VIII into the 12s, along with some other enhancements. I put together a video that in a small way chronicles that effort. You might enjoy it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-OBy4OO-vQ

12.70 at 108.7 mph. Thought I'd brag a little on it.

I have recently purchased a 1996 Continental and it is making a noise from the passenger side rear that is extremely similar to the bad rubber bushing shock tower noise that is somewhat common on a Mark VIII. I have yet to stick my head back there, but does anyone know if the assembly is...

Anyone have any pointers on how to find out the exact color of a Lincoln interior? For example, my Mark VIII is black, so that's pretty obvious that it is "Ebony" but what about the tan interior on my 96 Conti? Is there a standard plate/area to look for the color code?

Look at me, catchin' some air! Whoo hoo!

I really didn't know that my mark raised up this high in the front and squatted that low in the rear at launch. It's almost aggressive looking! :) At rest: http://www.kophotosite.com/details.php?gid=61&pid=1116 At launch: http://www.kophotosite.com/details.php?gid=61&pid=1119

Well here I am. Cantankerous, boastful, argument prone, and overall way too wordy for my own good. I have this crazy idea that my Mark VIII is not only fun to drive, gets good MPG, is comfortable and reliable, but also that it cuts a pretty good time at the drag strip. Crazy I know. If you...
