The inevitable has arrived. I am PCSing to Europe and can only take one of my two vehicles. I will be taking my DD - 07 Accord I-4 EX-L Coupe with me. My Cobra will be stored at the parental units' house in Califonia I will be making the trek mostly on I-10 from Fort Walton Beach, FL before...

Engine Restorer and Lubricant Just got my Cobra back from getting a compression test and all I have is low compression - 100-120 lbs avg. This stuff claims to restore compression, I am curious if anyone has tried it and with what success?

On a SCT SF3/X3 Tuner. Looking forward to turning off my O2 sensors and getting rid of that pesky CEL. Not a lot of mods right now, but this tuner will work perfectly for anything I decide to do, also looking forward to improved gas mileage for my inevitable cross country drive for my PCS. I...

My whole system seems to be having this problem. Air will not blow from any vents unless my knob is in the hi position. This is on Max A/C all the way over to Defrost, no airflow unless it's on high. Anyone know of possible causes/remedies?

I bought the car from the previous owner a few years ago and he gave me some extra parts with it. At the time I didn't care too much, but now that I'm looking into doing more with my car I am curious. There are markings on the springs, the two taller ones have SKM79.002 on them, and the two...

Check out the blue LED's. I didn't like the stock incandescent bulbs in my rear view mirror, so I upgraded them with blue LED's. I have since also purchased 2, 18-LED light bars from superbrightleds.com. Much brighter than before. I only have one light bar installed, but here is the...

When I start my car up I seem to be getting a lot of shaking. It dies down when I am at speed except around 55mph it gets pretty bad. 80k miles, I'm thinking new motor mounts are in store.

I am in the process of going from tan to black interior and one of my major decisions is deciding what to do with my front seats. I am leaning heavily towards getting them reupholstered in vinyl with a custom color scheme. Black vinyl with dark blue trim around the outside, or maybe something...

My drivers side seat belt will not unlock itself. When I go to buckle up my seat belt, it will not release from the emergency lock position. I have to jerk my seat belt 30 times, one inch at a time to be able to buckle it. The belt retracts just fine, it just won't let me buckle in easily...

As my 96 Cobra approaches 100k miles on the clock with a blown head gasket. I am curious as to how many miles are on everyone else's Cobras and what kind of mechanical problems have you had up to this point?? I'll start off with my car at 100k miles and nothing major up to this point save for...

So as some of you may know I recently replaced my alternator to fix a no start problem. Now there may be another problem. I think it may be my starter, maybe you guys can back me up on this. I have a new fully charged battery, a known working alternator new in the car. When I went to turn the...

Hey everyone, after scouring this site for a few months I finally decided to join and now I could use your help. I own a 1996 Cobra, which needs some TLC and lately has been giving me some problems. About a month ago I was unable to start my car. I would have to hold the key in the start...
