    Squeaky Suspension

    So basically the whole suspension on both sides? Where can I find some decent bushings?

    Squeaky Suspension

    So my Mark has some suspension issues. The big issue right now is a horrible creaking and squeaking noise coming from both wheels. I'm going to assume that these completely shot bushings are to blame. What bushings are these and how much to replace them? Also I occasionally get a clunking...

    front suspension has give?

    So while we have this topic up... I'm having a similar suspension issue. A clunk on the front left along with a pull to the right under braking. So far I have replaced a bent inner tie rod on the passenger side, a drivers side outer tie rod bushing, and both calipers. Could this clunk and pull...

    So apparently 613 Mark VIIIs were traded in for CFC

    The GNX is a weird outlier. I can't come up with any explanation beyond that it had been hit BAD and was just driveable enough to get on the lot. Huge shame about the motor, but at least it's salvageable for a minimum of 180 days.

    What do you think of the LMS exhaust?

    It's the corporations man... they, like, control the forums duuude. Anyways, once I can save up some cash I'd really like to get this exhaust. First I have to figure out what my WOT hesitation is though, as I've been told it could be a crank position sensor or something like that.

    So apparently 613 Mark VIIIs were traded in for CFC

    Listen, a lot of these cars had serious issues that kept them from being worth more than $4500. Let's be honest, few Mark's can command that price and we've all seen how bad a bad Mark can really be. I would assume a lot of those Corvettes traded in were barely running under their own power or...

    The (mostly) completed 96 Mark

    I'll see what I can do about the chrome snowflakes. They were actually chromed by the original owner, who didn't clean the inside thoroughly. They look great from 15 feet, but they look like garbage any closer than 10 feet away. I'll take some more pics of them soon though. I'm thinking about a...

    The (mostly) completed 96 Mark

    Well it does need MOAR power. Probably a fuel pump too. A drop is also under consideration. I got the head unit for $130 on Ebay but it did take some cutting to get it in there right, but it's in and working. There's some static and the occasional popping noise even when the power is cut so I...

    The (mostly) completed 96 Mark

    So here's my almost finished '96. I got it for $3k with only 63k miles on it. Had a tune-up done, new rotors and calipers put on, a new head unit installed by me, and new wheels and tires added. She's coming along great I think.

    Computer/Wiring questions.

    This sounds like a good plan. Is this some sort of Lincoln Death-Wagon?

    Gen 1 Headlight Project w/ HID install

    Yeah, it's a 96 non-LSC. So I would need the full ebay kit then, not just bulbs. Thanks for the help. I used the 3M kit on my headlights yesterday and they came out fantastic, night driving actually is good enough where I might not even bother with a kit now.

    Gen 1 Headlight Project w/ HID install

    This may be a dumb question but... do you really need an entire HID kit with ballasts? The way I figure it is that the stock ballasts can supply more than enough wattage to the 6000k 9005 HID bulbs, so why bump down to aftermarket ballasts when they add $70 to the cost fo the kit. Do...

    4500RPM hesitation

    I'm going to have my mechanic check my O2 and MAF sensors also. Would the pressure drop be caused by a fuel leak or a bad pump?

    4500RPM hesitation

    So I've finaly registered and got my new 96 Mark VIII on the road.... just in time to notcie that the car seems to lose a ton of power around 4000-4500 rpm every time I dig into it. It has all new plugs and wires, new filters, and only 63k miles total. What could be causing this issue? Is it...

    sea foam

    Would there be less smoke if you ran it through a clean car? I have been told the amount of smoke depends on how much carbon has built up. When my friend used a whole can on his turbo Subie 2.5RS it was dropping a thick cloud for 15 minutes of driving. It was pretty funny to be able to leave a...

    MK VIII Audio

    I'm interested in upgrading the audio of my new 96 MK VIII. My first upgrade needs to be a head unit since the stock one is failing and not so good to begin with. This is what I have found and liked so far (Green LED to match the stock look)...

    no turning back now

    Those look pretty sweet. The Cobrastar is awesome, but the Cobra logo still applies to any car with the 32V modular IMO.

    HID Solutions...mafioso's phone #

    Hey, new member here. I'm currently looking at buying a 96 non-LSC MKVIII badly in need of a headlight refresh. Is this mafioso member the guy to go to for HID replacements? I've read the long and well documented thread about headlight restoration and upgrading but I still have a few...

    ideas and help

    Thanks for the advice! The car is currently in the shop for new airbags all around, new brakes, tune up and a new door handle. All this work is what enticed the owner to offer the car to me. All in all I call it a sweet deal :D Would you mind explaining to me what the J mod is? I;m having...
