Mainly for Washington folks, but anyone that has thoughts please feel free to weigh in. The past couple of weeks I've started looking at selling my Cobra. The car has been great and I love it to death, but I don't drive it. 7 times last year and 5 times the year before. The most miles I've...

Car is in the shop getting a new tranny (long story short - factory replacement for factory flaw) and I'm thinking about having them put in an upgraded clutch since the tranny is going to be out anyway. My car: Sunny day driver. Slightly modified (pulley, chip, exhaust, etc...

Any web links to Ford performance shops in the Portland area? I'm going to post something similar for Vancouver B.C. but am curious. I'm a cheap bastard and looking to find a place where I can drive to buy parts and not necessarily have to fork out for Wa. State tax.

Anyone used it yet? I hear that it's *supposed* to rival Zaino, so I'm going to give it a shot this upcoming weekend. Worst case, I strip it all off and re-coat my car in Zaino again - just figured I'd ask.

Nice folks on the phone - heck, picked up on the first call too. My question is this: How are they in terms of tuning-by-mail? Their chip price w/ custom tune is pretty darn good. I'm looking at the Whipple (and all pieces therein), I'm either going to need to re-burn my chip or just get a...

Driving toward I-90 to head out to North Bend today. The folks have been in town this weekend and they're going to go look at neighborhoods with me and then head back to Spokane. A 540i pulls up next to me (residential, mind you) at the stop light. I pay it no mind. Light turns. Nimrod...

(Since search is disabled currently, I can't go back through old threads that way....) I was at my dealer this week and my mechanic told me that Koni just released a new shock that's supposed to do amazing things in mitigating wheel hop (moreso than their old top-of-the-liners) - anyone...

Car's been parked for a month or so now, and looking at the edge of the tires under the car cover, for no reason whatsoever I asked myself: "If I were a tree, what kind of tree would I be?" When I answered that, I got to thinking about what it would take to put a solid axle and get rid of...

A gentleman approached me in email regarding my Cobra - here is his situation: He lives in Switzerland and is looking to either purchase a new 2003 or 2004 Cobra, or find a second-hand car that can be purchased in the U.S. and shipped to Switzerland. The questions: What is the...

Hopefully some of you that have attended SEMA have made it back to your computers to give those of us who didn't make the pilgrimage some teaser tidbits. *cough* *Works blower* *cough*

I'm getting ready to buy the MM full length subframe connectors, but before I do I have a question. What advantage (if any) do these have over the Kenny Brown subframe connectors? All feedback welcome.

I park in a carport and I live in a primarily rainy area (Seattle area). I want something that does a good job in a moist environment, even though the car is in a covered area. I'm thinking in terms of dew, rain, etc. Basically, I'm going to cover the car for the winter and drive her on the...
