Thick brownish orange residue covering bottom half of ceramic insolater and socket flats. Residue spread like corrosion completely around the socket part of the plug, rubber wire cover, etc.. OK...so I've recently noticed that my cobra is down on power...hesitation...sluggish. First noticed...

Seems like there has been a lot of this lately, but I have yet to see any useful technical info other "take it to the dealer" Recently had the car dyno tuned again after some engine repairs, and after a few hundred miles my ABS light is suddenly stuck on as well as the T/C light. Someone...

I just replaced the alternator on my beater because I was fixing some other mechanical/electrical problems and was told by the dealer several thousand miles ago that my alternator was making noise and should be replaced. I let it go, but figured I was running on borrowed time, so for my peace...

I do a lot of driving, so can anyone tell me what these clowns are trying to prove? I mean seriously, is it some kind of ego trip or what? Why is it that if there is traffic in the slow lane, but none in the fast lane, and I decide to do some passing, one of these jerks sees me coming and...

I just got my cobra back from ford, they had it for 3 months while they replaced my blown engine (wrist pin failure from a sustained high speed run). I was all day yesterday at my tuner, while we remodded, chip, pulley. He touched up my tune a little (actually worked on it for a few hours...

Well I finally got my cobra back from ford - they had it for 3 months. Got a new block, crank, piston, and everything in between because of a wrist pin failure. Anyway I am getting it retuned yesterday, and my tuner is trying to figure out why it is so down on power on the dyno. Turns out...

http://wires.news.com.au/special/mm/030811-hubble.htm Gotta be intelligent life out there, now lets get those Theology vs Science debates going again...NOT.

I am having to temporarily return my car to stock (more updates on that situation as the info becomes available). Anyway, I have read that many of you previous Densecharger owners have switched to other units, and I am considering taking this opportunity to switch as well to FIPK when I re-mod...

I'm sure this has been touched on before, but the search is not working again (at least not for me anyway). I brought the car home after a high speed run at full boost, and now I suddenly have a very LOUD engine tick. I don't think this is the dreaded TSB engine tick, as from under the...

It is 125x95 mp, and only 11kb. It worked before, but now it is a mess.

I've only ever replaced one clutch, and it was on my VW Jetta. It was never difficult to shift, just started slipping really bad (step on the gas - RPM's go up, but car goes nowhere). Now I've got about 15000miles on my stock Cobra clutch. I haven't noticed any slipping yet, but it seems to...

Just Curious... After reading some of the other car bashing threads out there, how many of you Mustang owners drive other cars, American, import, etc. Hopefully I won't get flamed by the repost Nazis, but didn't see another poll on this.

I've got about 15k on my car and the hood and front bumper are riddled with stone chips. There are so many that it would be impossible to fix them all. I've hit the bigger ones with touch up, and now along with the little chips, I've got a lot of little bumps of touch up which looks almost as...

Got this from a buddy of mine... Definition of Acceleration One Top Fuel dragster 500 cubic inch Hemi engine makes more horsepower than the first 4 rows of stock cars at the Daytona 500. Under full throttle, a dragster engine consumes 1/2 gallon of nitro methane per second; a...
