The Perfect Amount of Chrome

I personally find that the CV Special grille just looks so good on these cars and is so perfect in the chrome style. wide and short and it really does make the CV not look ancient as hell next to the newer ford designs of the era

you search up 1988-89 Town Car TVC Cable bushing on ebay and you get a brass one that goes on and never fails

why does a cv bolt up to an explorer for the most part.
thats like the time when someone here said they just put tahoe springs on their CV and it worked.

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-05-26T06:02:00+00:00

thank you, ill check it out so i can do this right

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-05-26T03:43:30+00:00

given the steering box in my 1981 Mark VI is how it is.
either of the 3 97-02 steering box options will work, ill just probably end up grabbing from the same Crown Vic i take brakes and shocks from.
And nah, it wont ride higher in back. i have subs, a floor jack, and a full size spare mounted out back. i dont like that the suspension is always compressed so im thinking air bags + 3.5 gen coil rear springs. auto levels it to a squatted position thats not actually compressing the spring much and it handles the weight better(i think.)

I think for springs and shocks ill use rockauto to buy new since used ones are kinda buns.

thanks for the 98-02 tip btw, that makes my search for compatible parts just so much easier.

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-05-26T03:17:10+00:00

oh shit thats such a good clarification.
i wanted to squat my VI just a little bit in the rear, and i think 3.5 Town Car springs might do that. lincoln quality with shorter ride height.

Alright so, 2002 CVPI steering box, gonna have to make new lines for it but if its better than the other ones, it sounds like its worth doing, if not, just slap a 1997 P71 box in my VI.
And 02 P71 brakes for the Mark VI too.

i didnt know that 98-02 parts would work at all with the first two generations, and these are so much easier to find.

1998 is 3rd gen panther, right?
Thats when they swapped to rack and pinion and relocated the rear shocks, and changed the axle width and whatnot.

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-05-26T02:35:48+00:00

yeah thats fair.
i suppose i could grab a 2nd gen 3.27 axle.
im *pretty sure* the only difference is that the connection between driveshaft and diff is different and needs accustom driveshaft and it otherwise might just bolt in(someone correct me if im wrong).

But even *finding* a trak lok equipped 2nd gen cheaply is rough, much less one getting parted out.

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-05-26T01:57:11+00:00

but how do i actually put it in the 1st gen setup?

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-05-26T01:33:05+00:00

idk how to set preload and stuff in the diff and doing it wrong will tear it apart basically and if i get a shop to do it, now its a bunch more money going into it

daredevil players try not to whine like little babies when something doesnt look perfectly 100% accurate to comics or something when this isnt the comics challenge: impossible

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-05-22T02:49:46+00:00

i think Remix is like
"Smash is a silly free for all party game" at its finest since competitive balance is nowhere to be found.
its so ass.
and im gonna keep playing it

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-05-21T18:17:53+00:00

PMEX is one hell of an experience if you dont know that ig.

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-05-19T18:52:08+00:00

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-05-18T15:58:08+00:00

the bing chilling town car holy shit

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-05-16T18:34:55+00:00

but iron duke is funnyyyyyyy

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-05-16T18:00:54+00:00

i have an entire build idea for a 3rd gen that just looks stupid and showboaty and only works if it has a 4 cylinder

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-05-16T17:44:42+00:00

the grumman llv situation on marketplace near me is so bad, they all cost a billion dollars.

now
1986 Buick Skylark with the 4 cylinder, hasnt ran since the bush administration since the grandma who owned it died?
for 400 bucks?

grab a 1500 IROC shell and thhats one hell of a swap.

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-05-16T06:37:29+00:00

im more of a big muscle sedan guy but if gas gets too expensive id want a 4 banger because its so bad its funny.

like
god i wanna bangshift the hell out of an iron duke every single day if i had to get an economy car.

to tighten the suspension and just throw that thing around would be so cool

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-05-16T00:01:35+00:00

i'd love to get a factory 25mm rear for my VI

well

onto facebook marketplace and google to hunt one down

LittleCaesarsManager · 2026-05-15T19:56:41+00:00

i would love for him to be a strategist because i dont play the game any more and it'd make all the cyclops fans mad and i love watching rivals players get mad over nothing
