    Quick Disconnect Front Bumper Setup?

    Just wondering if anyone has ever seen a setup that allowed for simple and fast removals of the front bumper? The rake of my car makes it somewhat difficult to get a jack under the front of the car and sometimes I don't have something to drive it up on. I'm sure guys with twin turbo setups...

    Interest check for GB for Racebronco heat extractor style hoods!

    Are you guys going with the 120 or 125 series kit? Does the flush latch mount from the bottom? I'm guessing that is a no go with our hoods?

    In the long run, would you rather own a bone stock or modified Lighting?

    The thing is, I see the yellow car slowly moving to being a E85 fueled, car night, track mobile. Having a stock Lightning to ride around in has provent to be so nice, easy to drive, quiet while also having a truck bed to haul some shit. I just don't know if now is the right time for me to hang...

    Squeal from clutch when leaving from a stop

    Despite having the clutch inspected, I believe the sound may be from some of the glazing on the aluminum flywheel and pressure plate. The clutch kit did come with the car, but I don't have any previous experience with Spec. The last time I started the car up, I had some clutch noise at idle...

    In the long run, would you rather own a bone stock or modified Lighting?

    Long story short: On a whim two years ago, I ran across a killer deal here in Anchorage. 2002 Lightning, bone stock with exception of sound system, 48k miles. Always garaged. Could small scratches here and there, drilled holes in the front bumper, curb rash on a couple wheels, but overall the...

    Squeal from clutch when leaving from a stop

    Hey all, Just finished putting my redfire Cobra back together after two years. I bought it with a lot of mods and a busted engine. Feels great to finally have it going. Still working some kinks out, though. While on a test drive yesterday, I noticed that from a stop, as I try to get the car...

    How does this oil analysis look to you guys? Should I be worried?

    Bought the car about a year ago and have hardly put any miles on it due to my work schedule and our short Alaska summers. I did an oil change at the beginning of the summer and found there to be a slit hint of metal in the oil so I sent it out to be tested and this is what I got back. They don't...

    Cobra put out 575 rwhp, where do I go from here? Thoughts on HP and 1/4 times?

    Managed to get my Cobra dynoed a little while ago and finally got some answers as to where she stands since I bought her. Wound up with 575 rwhp and 539rwtq, the car was putting down another 10rwhp per run, and I was told that this was most likely due to the fact that I had not put the...

    Any Harm In Not Using The Factory Oil Pressure Switch?

    Somehow, with my UPR Kmember and off set steering rack bushing, I managed to break my factory oil pressure switch and sprung a small leak. The car has an Autometer oil pressure gauge installed, so the factory oil pressure switch is located in the position aiming straight down. Is there any...

    Tips on cooling down my Cobra at the track? Time between runs etc?

    Just curious as to what my procedure should be in between runs at the track? I live in Alaska and it is rarely above 80 degrees at the track but on a long sunny day, it can be higher than that. So far I have been typically allowing 20 to 30 minutes between runs, but I haven't been doing anything...
