Any updates to this? I'd be super interested to do this to my 99

Hey guys, Not new to the site, but recently crossed over from SN95 to the dark side-IRS Cobras. I'm very pleased with the buy, and I love it, but there's some concerning noise. It's intermittent; I bought it a week ago, drove it 3 hours Sunday with no issue, drove around Monday afternoon no...

Well guys, it's been great here, and you've all been a great help, but it's time to move on. Sunday saw the sale of my 98 Chrome Yellow Cobra for a (mostly) stock 1999 Rio Red Cobra with some Cobra R parts. I decided the 99 was a better platform for some future plans, but the 98 will always have...

Hey all, I'm looking into getting a car from a private party in California. A couple of my friends have done this, and gotten raped on fees; 450$ for an 01 Cobra, 750 for a C5 Z06. I'm stationed in Arizona, where my current car is registered. We're planning on a trade. So, do we just need...

A couple friends and I got together for a photoshoot yesterday, here's the results!

Well, I went home (PA) on leave from the USMC (AZ). The drive wasn't bad at all, averaged about 25mpg on a 17 year old, 140k mile car, so I wasn't too upset. Day after I get home, I go to throw a JLT CAI and Bama tune on. Well the PATS tripped for a still unknown reason, and the motor...

P Guys, I'm need of some serious help. I put a JLT CAI on my car (98) and attempted to load a custom Bama tune on. Car fired up and drove great to autozone to return a torque wrench I borrowed. I went in, came out, and the car promptly took a huge crap all over my life. CCRM buzzes, theft light...

Okay guys, I may have a trade worked out with a local guy. Straight swap, his 01 IRS for my 98 SRA+ I buy the gear kit he wants installed. Can anyone tell me what I would need to bolt these up to each other? I assume that all the parts we would need would come from the original car, but you...

Hey guys, I'm looking for a repro S281 spoiler, due to my Saleen one fitting like garbage. I've seen good and bad things about Kaenen and SCF. I'm leaning towards the SCF one for now because the prices are comprable, and I can run just the carbon fiber trim for now. Any reviews would be great!

Hey guys, I have some more questions for cars that aren't mine. My brother has a 99 Cobra with some blown struts in the front. He wants to do shocks at the same time, and was deciding between Koni adjustable shock and strut package and the Bilstein HD. I have Bilsteins on my car and love them...

Hey guys, my friend just bought an 01 Cobra. He got it aligned and found some issues. He needs front lower control arms, a steering rack, sway bar link, and rear camber links. Now I'm pretty sure the camber links would be cobra sspecific because of the IRS, but can he use gt parts for the front...

Hey guys, how do we feel about Pacesetter longtubes? I was interested in maybe tossing some on the car for a boost. Is a tune necessary? I know its going to give the best gains tuned, but just until I can get it tuned would I have any issues driving without one? How hard is the install? I've...

Hey guys, I've got a fully forged rotating assembly, including an 8 bolt crank, for any 5.4L motor. I bought from modmax racing, put on the piston rings, and had to scrap the build. Link: http://www.modmaxracing.com/product_p/99025254.htm I'm looking for 1400$ OBO picked up in San Antonio...

Hey guys, I need some more advice. I'm going to be getting wheels and tires with my tax refund, and I'm trying to do it as cheaply as possible while retaining quality. I've found the Sumitomo HTR Z and the Nitto NT555, both in 315/35/17. I know the Nittos are better, but I can save about 120$ by...
