I sold the cobra a few months ago and I totally forgot I still have the M/T Et Streets (two rear wheels only). They've only been used at the strip, two or three times no more than 10 passes total. They are mounted on Diamond Racing Wheels, Black. I bought the tires and wheels new, so they are...

Hey, I am thinking about selling my Black 2003 Cobra 10th Anniversary Edition, looking for $27K. The cars got little under 14K on it, one owner. Never seen the winter, snow or salty roads. Basically garage kept year round, driven on sunny days. Perfect condition. Has not been pullied or tuned...

lately i've noticed a grinding noise coming from the rear of the car. the noise is only there under hard acceleration. driving normally, i cant hear it at any speed. its only there when the car is under a heavy load, but once the rpms go up, the noise goes away. Sounds like something metal is...

i went out to the track today and got a funny noise coming from my car... basically from launch through first gear and a split second when i hit second, there is a creaking/grinding noise coming from the console area, maybe the transmission. The noise is loud, as i can clearly hear it over my...

go figure, i took my car into the shop to get the head replaced for the tick coming from the driver's side. The dealership replaced, not one, but both heads. pretty good deal. now, the car only has 8000 on the clock, do the heads need to be broken in for a certain time period or mileage? or...

i've seen someone or some people running diamond racing wheels in the back and skinnies in the front... i've got diamonds in the back, but cant find front skinny sizes on their website for the life of me, i e-mailed them but got no response. I dont know what size would be needed to clear the...

My power steering fluid is low and i checked the book for the type needed. It states mercon atf... ok, then why the heck is the fluid in my power steering resevoir purple... shouldnt it be red? Is mixing in regular atf fluid with whatever that purple stuff in my resevoir ok?

Need to order some speed bleeders. I checked summit racing and they have the russell speed bleeders... but i dont know the exact size i need. I think they would be summit part number RUS-639560 for the front and RUS-639630 for the rear. I could pick up some from speedbleeder.com part number...

well it was opening weekend at the grove in wisconsin. figured i'd give it a go around and test out my new et streets and see how it works. i got there late, so i was only able to make one pass. worst pass of my life. i dropped the psi to about 15. got up to the burnout box and figured a quick...

Looking for a place in the NW Chicagoland area that can weld in a set of MM full length subframe connectors... anyone know of a good reputable place around here that would do a good job? Need to get this puppies in before the tracks open up...

i'm gonna start up the cobra for the first time this winter since mid november... i havent started it all winter. I was thinking since its been sitting to pull the fuse for the fuel pump and crank it over a few times, build up some oil pressure before i let it idle. anyone have any suggestions...

I just got my et streets mounted on some diamond wheels, do i need to get them balanced for track use only? the shop that mounted them couldnt balance them since they were too wide for the machine. i figure the tires are going to get out of whack after a few passes if they get blanced, so i'd be...

I was wondering what you guys use for helmets at the strip... I checked and correct me if i'm wrong, but the helmet needs to be sa2000 rated? I don't know if the rules changed for this year though... I want to buy a helmet since the track changes 10bucks for a rental each time i go, and that...

i was just wondering what tire i should get for the track... my stock f1's are still good and i dont drag on the street, but i want to get a tire for the strip. i'm getting diamonds wheels for the rear I;ve have been pretty sure about getting et streets, however, i'm starting to second guess...
