Hey guys, I believe the rear end on my R is shot. Something is locking up everytime I make a slow turn, and I get a major clunking sound. The limited slip is just not working right, it sounds real bad. I have been thinking about doing what JoeJ did for a while now, and also going with...

What racing brake fluid do you guys recommend for our 00 R's? ATE Super Blue? Motul 600? Castrol SRF? Ford DOT 4? Thanks, Mike

Hey guys, I'm going to the Shelby National Convention this weekend, I'm gonna bring my Cobra R binder out there. Which page do you think I should have Carroll Shelby and the original crew sign? Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks, Mike

Quoted from June issue of C&D: "...SVT fitted an 11-inch unit similar to that previously encountered in the Cobra, but with increased clamping force to cope with the higher torque output." Do you guys think this will be a readily available and suitable replacement clutch for our R's? Mike

Guys, I think I might try to attend the Ford 100th anniversary next year with the R. Anyone else gonna do it? What about us California guys? Let's plan to head out there together! Mike

Car & Driver, April 2002 issue: Before pg. 27 there is a green BFG ad. In it they advertise the g-Force KD's on a C5 Vette. I know the KDW's are easy to get, buy why are they advertising KD's? Are they making them available to everyone now? Mike

Guys I would like your opinion on what color my harnesses should be: red or black?? The roll cage is going to be black. Thanks, Mike

Have you guys seen the $600 '00 Cobra R burnout video from Motor Trend? I have a digital file, but I think it's too big to email. Any ideas on how others can see it? Mike

Well I got myself a new set of the BFG KD's. I don't plan to use them, and was wondering if you guys have any storage tips. Is it possible to have these tires still in good condition 10 years from now? Thanks, Mike

Hey guys, I have some pictures of the lower part of the 2000 R Intake Manifold if anyone is interested. You will see around the seals that some of the metal has chipped off or there is some sort of corrosion happening. My body shop guy says he thinks it was filed down to much from the...

Hey guys, I am having a hard time getting a Cobra R front splitter in good condition. We are having trouble getting the paint to stick on the one Jason sent us, we think the ones SVT has in their wherehouse are defective, don't know for sure though, but even the experts can't get the paint to...

Hey guys, I found a 2000 Cobra R R/C model by Tyco at Kmart for about $20. The decals suck and the color scheme is not exactly correct, but for the price I thought some of you might be interested. Mike

Who's 00 R was in Oregon at the 8 hr. endurance race? Rod (the guy with the fasteners) said he saw an R there that completed the full 8 hrs. All right!! Mike

I posted this on another board and thought I'd share it with the fellow R owners as well: 2002 Z06 impressions: Very refined ride for such a powerful car. Comfortable enough to be a daily driver, a little bumpy on really bad roads but for the most part this could almost be a touring car. I'm...
