My new 97 LSC "Leftover" Car

Thanks again Jeremi.
I got it plated yesterday, put my 20 spokes on it, and took it for a ride to a friends house.
It ran great. The ride with the lowered coils is very different to me. I hate to admit it, but I kind of like it on some road conditions. I'll have to put more miles on it to really check it out though.
I didn't notice a big difference with the 373's, as I was on slow roads and really didn't get a chance to nail it yet.
On the way home, I did catch myself going too slow though, as I'm not used to the higher RPMS.
I took a photo of it with the 20 spokes on it. The car is dirty, but I like the way it looks with the 20 spokes.

Looked better with the tint
I agree 100% there, it did look good.
But I couldn't see out of the car.
I don't need to give Michigan's finest a reason to pull me over either.

I'll be taking the green one, as usual, to Carlisle.
If I can talk Jeremi into going, and he doesn't have a Mark then, he can drive any one he wants.
Good luck with that...

We know it would never be for speeding...
the 20 spokes do look pretty good btw
You're certainly not the first person to say that. I'm becoming more tempted...
Don't get me wrong, this car came with the conversion. I would never convert to coils if the car had air ride.
The coils don't seem to take bumpy roads very well. But I'm still evaluating them.
I was getting some wheel hop doing some WOTs Sunday.

The Force is Strong with this one... Come to the Dark Side... Bill... lol
I miss my air ride terribly, and short of buying a functioning air ride donor car, I tried everything to keep it alive. I will say, I now have less stress in my life since the conversion to coils.
lol You need to cut out that partying, Jesse. It is messing with your memory... j/k
It was a sad day for The Mark...http://www.lincolnsofdistinction.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=24594&highlight=coil

I've only driven one coil convert and I thought it road poorly, and handled even worse, but I concede it may have been more the car then its lack of air bags as the car was not in great shape overall.

The lowered marks def have a unique way of handling. With the stock wheels on i dont like it much. It's decent but not great(better then air) around turns and whatnot but is a little to bouncy on dips ect.
Its a totaly diff feel with the 19's on..Def handles better but still a wee bit bouncy. I'll blame that on the cheap monroes i have in the rear.
Def a nice mark though.

Dark side here I come.
I'm really enjoying that 373. With the J mod and the rear poly bushings, it's a riot hitting second gear.
Now it's time for a chip to remove the speed limiter for the track. I'd also like to get a couple more things in the tune, to make the engine run more like a Gen 1 engine.
