    Sold the Lightning

    Well, I sold my 01 L last Monday. I didn't want to sell it, I just couldn't justify keeping it around since I hardly drove it. Over the last year I had put less than 2,000 miles on it. Thankfully I sold it to a Ford tech who will take great care of it and actually buck up and modify it. Oh...

    Cleaning 3M tape/glue off of paint

    I just took out my Sirius system out of my L and when I took the antenna off this 3M type adhesive was still stuck on and I am baffled how to get it off with out damaging the paint. I managed to pick off most of the foam stuff, but the glue is still there and not budging. Any help would be...

    Replacing EGR Valve...need help!

    Anyone replace one of these before. I finally got around to figuring out why my check engine soon light was coming on, and it turns out it's the EGR valvle that needs replacing. Anyone done this before? It appears to be an easy fix, but was wondering if there were any "how to's"/hints when...

    Need interior light help

    Well I went to open up the passenger door to the L today and the interior lights (inside door and ceiling) started flashing as well as a ticking sound. Is something up with one of my relays? The lights shut off and the clicking stops as soon as I close the door. I don't know what the hell I...

    Ebay help please!

    Is there anyway to check a members profile to see where he/she lives? Three days ago I had my Kenwood flip out monitor stolen, but the thieves did not get the "brain" for it. I know people sell just the "brains" on Ebay, so I wanted to see if anyone from the area was bidding on a Kenwood 911/910...

    Need help-value of my L?

    I just want to get an idea of the value of my L, private party. It is a red 2001 Lightning with 16,000 miles. It has a hard tonneau cover and is stock otherwise. The only problem is that I was in an accident a year ago in which it sustained $8500 in damage (hit a pole). It does not have a...

    mystichrome paint on L?

    Does anyone have a clue as to how much it would cost to get a L repainted in the mystichrome color? Costs would include all prep stuff, labor, random materials, and the paint itself, and any other crap that I missed. Would I be better off having the local SVT dealer do all of the work in their...

    New 04 L's for $26,995!!!

    Yes the price is correct. A dealer in the area has 4 new L's for $26,995. All 4 of them are black though, but I am guessing they are willing to deal. This seems like a good price, does anyone else think so? I am really tempted to trade my current L for one but want to make sure I can't get...

    Sonic blue Saleen vert

    I found this auction on ebay and I have fallen in love with this car; yeah I know it isn't a Cobra, not as fast as one but damn she sure is pretty. What do you all think? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2464285809&category=6236

    22s on the L

    Well I plan on getting some 22inch rims for the L within the next week and I want to know if anyone else has them and what exact size will fit best. Please post pics of them if you could so I can get an idea. I know 22s sound dumb, but I like a balance of show n' go. Thanks!

    Getting rid of the L

    Yes, the time has finally come. I will more than likely be getting rid of the L:??: . But I will replace it with another SVT product, a brand new black 10th anniversary vert. The dealer is going to be giving me invoice minus the rebates that are available (I think the Ford website said...

    Roush 360R? Help

    I need some help. I know this is a SVT board, not a Roush board, but I have a few questions regarding the 2002 Roush 360R. For a few months I have contemplated trading the L in for either a 2003 Cobra or newer (like 2001-2002) Saleen. I found a Roush in the Twin Cities at a dealer and it...

    Dealership a%%holes!

    Went to check out the Cobras at a local dealership after work today. I get there and some assclown sales guy begins the walk towards me with a sh!t faced grin on his face and begins telling me how badass these cars are and yadda yadda yadda. He compliments me on my L and tells me they put the...

    Testing the waters

    I have been contemplating selling the L due to the fact that I really need a 03 Cobra or newer supercharged Saleen convert. What should I expect to get if I sell the L outright? I owe a little over 26,000 dollars on it and want to get close to breaking even so that I can start out all over...

    Got owned today...literally

    Driving the L this morning after a nice heavy rain and hydroplaned like crazy and smashed her good against the electrical pole on the side of the road. Passenger and I were fine and the truck looked like crap on the passenger side. It wasn't one big dent, but a crapload of little things that...

    Contemplating 03 Cobra, from a L guy.

    I currently own a 01 Lightning and love the truck, but I have really fallen in love with the sonic blue cobras. I can buy a new 03 under book, but am unsure if I want to stick with the L. What do a lot of you Terminator owners like and dislike about your cars? Thanks, any help would be...

    Ricers in a Grand Am GT?

    Today I was driving and noticed a newer 98-02 Grand Am GT with a body kit with the primer still on. Two teenagers were in it and glared at me at the stop sign. They were going the other way, but has anyone seen this before with Grand Ams? I hate the fact that people think their car is badass...

    to trade or not to trade the L?

    I have an 01 L, bright red 8000 miles on it, just gorgeous. I went out lookin at cars on my lunch break and saw a few new 03 cobras. After what I've heard, I really, really want one. Is there that much of a difference in power and speed? Or should I just keep the L. I also found a nice 01...
