I purchased new wheels from a company called Wheel Replicas and need to replace the center caps. My OEM Cobra R ones won't fit since they are too large. It seems like Wheel Replicas uses a non-standard size of 59MM, which is equivalent to 2 5/16 inches. Anyone know where to source ones that...

Thread title says it all. Fortunately, I was only going 10 MPH and not on the highway, or even worse, at the track going 125 MPH. All five studs sheered off. The front disc was resting inside the rim rather than the front taking a nose dive into the asphalt. I had it towed to the dealership and...

I'm taking my car autocrossing in a few weeks. I'm not being doing anything super competitive, but I have the factory brake shoes and rotors which have about 40K miles on them. Although the brakes seems to be working perfectly, I think I should replace them (correct me if I'm being premature). I...

I have a '96 Cobra and want to get new tires. It has 17x9 Cobra R's up front and 17x10.5 on back. The car isn't driven in the rain and tread life isn't an issue. My focus would be a good drag radial that won't make me look too foolish if I take it on a road course, or perhaps a good road course...

My Cobra has 6 wheels, 4 with +10 year old Falken Ziex P245 tires and 2 with balding 4 year old BF Goodrich P315 ties. I'm looking to replace everything and wanted opinions. Without some sort of super wide, grippy tire on the back, the car won't hook. I'd expect people suggest Nitto DRs, BFG...

The car doesn't get driven in the winter. I'd like to use M1 10W-30 or 5W-30, as the local Big Box retailer sell cases at very reasonable prices, but won't go that route if not recommended.

I've been having an issue with my Cobra. Sometimes it stalls immediately after I start it. Unless I give it a little gas, it may stall again. Once it's been driven, it's fine. Thoughts? Mods are in my signature. It has 33K miles. Only other thing that might be relevant is that it recently came...

My car has been in storage for over a year while I've had my house on the market and I haven't been reading these forums as often as I once have. It's starting to warm up and I'm wanting to pull the Cobra out soon. My mods are in my signature. Are there any new developments or mods or anything...

Mine is a new VW Beetle turbo with custom paint and a license plate that said "BADD BUG." After passing him on the highway, he started baiting for a race. Long story short, I slowly accelerated passed him, he gunned it, and when he caught up I gave it the full throttle. I backed off when it was...

Just got word from Lidio at Alternative Performance. After a pulley upgrade and tune, my car is making about 425 RWHP. He said that the setup makes 11 PSI max boost. Someone upgraded their 8 month old 42 PSI injectors to 60 PSI, so he replaced mine with the 42's. Anyone want to wager a guess...

I was just wondering if there is a way to center the Cobra on the grill. I'm not keen on the way that it is offset to the driver's side, especially on GT500s with the stripes. Also, are there holes if the fenders for the Cobra's on the side?

I'm looking to go stainless steel for both front and back, and I'm looking for direct bolt-ons. Also, need suggestions for brake fluid, if one brand is better than the next. I'm looking to try my hand at autocrossing.

Just wondering if it would be worth it for my setup. From my searches, it's worthless if you're N/A, but may be beneficial if you're supercharged.

Anyone have success doing it? If so, could you provided detailed instructions. I spent a few hours trying to access it, both from underneath the car and through the engine bay, but with no luck. It seems like the easiest way would be to pull the fender, which would be ridiculous.

Considering my mods and the fact that wear isn't an issue since it only sees a couple thousand of miles per season, I thought I'd try them. Also, what gap for my setup? And How many miles before I change them?
