I ordered some LED headlight and fog light bulbs, and a set of data plates for mine today
What did you do for your Terminator today?
- Thread starter mrose75
- Start date
My OG Start n Charge finally took a dump so I swapped it out with a Nations Alternator.
ordered 04 Mustang MRT Hood Struts, No Drill Black, 2003-04 Cobra SVE Hood Vent Heat Extractor Grille Aluminum & Innovative Air/Fuel Gauge ... ohh and the new Uniden R7 radar detector
Picked up an 04 owners manual. Wasn't really looking but one popped up on the Canadian Terminator FB page so I bought it.
Also bought a Marti Report for my car. One thing that surprised me was the selling dealer was from Ontario because I was fairly certain my car originated from Alberta.

Double post. Can't get the wheel photo to load
Changed my oil for the annual spring time change out. Royal Purple this year and ford Racing filter. I had always used Mobil 1 before but this year I wanted to try "the purple stuff".
I bought my Terminator new in 2004, and daily drove her until about 2010 or so. The past few years I have done a paint respray, did all the IRS bushings and rear end work, sourced new OEM wheels (thanks again to the 2 SVT members that sold me 2 each), Re-upholstery of the Seats and replaced some interior trim with new parts etc..... Trying to update it and keep her Fresh and feeling new and Loved.
Well today as I was laying under the car waiting for the oil to finish draining out. I looked up at all of my radiator hoses and my radiator itself, and I had a realization of wow she is getting old. The hoses looked aged and had a gray to them. The radiator is looking like aged Metal looks after years go by (I had never changed any of the hoses or the radiator since I had bought it).
Well so, I just ordered the Hose Kit From LMR and am going to be researching radiators. All in all it was a moment of sadness and Realization of that she is aging in a way. I have had this car so many years and been through so many things with her. I had always had the "My brand new car" "my baby" kind of feeling with my Terminator, but today I realized just a bit that she has aged and hit her sweet 16th birthday this last year. Maybe this is what Father's feel with daughters (I didn't have daughters).
This car is now a legend, and I want my Legend to keep going on and building new and more memories. Hopefully the new hoses will make both her and I feel youthful again when they arrive.
The Spring Driving Season is upon us!

That's actually pretty cool. More Terminator owners should get Marti Report for their car. I think it's really important to have this with a car as desired as the '03-'04 Cobra.
I agree. I'll be ordering one for my cobra. I bought one for the notch about two years ago.

Such a great looking car. I'd be driving that almost every day after work if I had to put it up for 5-6 months every year. Those wheels are so good looking.
And you could eat out of that engine bay.
From what I have seen on radiators, best to get yours refurbished. Aftermarket fits with mods. And the Gt radiator was not up to the task. Let me know how the hose kit works for you. I will probably need to do mine soon.
Needs a heart button for this one! Toys look perfect on the new shops new floor!

Thank you! Hopefully it gets driven more this year.
I appreciate it! It's been a dream come true having the opportunity to buy this shop.

Or don’t be cheap and get a Ron Davis radiator. Also after markets fit with no “mods” only moving the abs module back. My fan fit perfectly fine with my champion three row and weather stripping on the fan made it perfect seal. The ron Davis rad just works and is the best radiator for a stock thickness and even the three rows.
Or, pull your original, go to a local rad shop, have it rodded, cleaned and paint. Less than your expensive Ron Davis. 2 schools of thought. Mine is rebuild, yours is spend. What ever works for you.
Champion is just a GT rad. We compared all manufacturers rads for our cars and none were “correct” in regards to tube sizes and thickness. (didn’t check Ron Davis but his is always quality). I’d get my stock one refurbed if it were me. (and I have)

Interesting,
On the Marti report..
Does the 75 "Ordered from this RC" mean 75 2004 verts for Canada (Central Canada)? How many regions does Canada have?
It would be nice to get the full Terminator production breakdown for Canada..

So you are saying none of the aftermarket radiators are an improvement over stock besides the Ron Davis? Which I sure hope would with two 1 inch tube rows. My experience shows otherwise; it became more cost efficient to replace with a new rad once mine couldn’t be refurbished anymore.
Also how is the champion just a GT rad?
