good points...hard to believe it's almost 20yrs old...still not slowBought her from the original owner this year. Love being back in a stock cobra. No hassles or bs to deal with like the cars in my sig. The car just works and its still very fast.
I loved my Redfire. I’ve owned almost every color but sonic blue. That’s for sure the goal now.those are actually my favorite colors...along with redfire...but I'm extremely luck to have this one
Thanks!I love the 10th Anniversary interior, Brian. Yours looks perfect. Enjoy it!!
CB, that is pretty much what I plan to do to a T...I may try to slide a 10 inch factory look wheel but that is itPersonally, if I bought a 4K mile 2003/2004 Cobra, I’d keep the factory wheels (Ford designed the wheel perfectly) and go with an MGW shifter, catback, mid-pipe, Metco 4-piece idler set, RAI, 2.90 upper, tune, maybe a throttle body, and lowering springs. That would put me at around 450whp and 475wtq. Very safe setup that would easily handle around town cruising and long mile trips. Whatever YOU do, I’m sure you’ll be very happy. That’s all that counts. I just tossed out what I’d do.
Congrats!!!! One thing ill say is don't over mod it, unless thats what you want.
As the car is right now, it will last forever and you could drive it accross the country if you wanted. Keep that in mind!!
Very appealing to me - maybe not to others. I still like to have a good CAR. Not just a 1 trick pony that I cant actually enjoy on trips and such. Modded Cobra's dont excel here.
A nice sounding exhaust system (bassani/borla/magnaflow) can go a long way to satisfying the mod bug, without sacrificing longevity of the engine, clutch, rearend ect.
If you just want a fast cruiser with no worries then be weary of adding a ton of mods.
I decided I should keep the original tires mounted to the original wheels, in case I sold it maybe it would make it more valuable to whoever buys it? who knows, but it made it easy for me to justify buying new wheels with the new tiresthe original tires look ok but they're 20yrs old
I put a 1 inch spacer in the rear for mine on the stock 17x9.For now, I ordered new tires (the original tires look ok but they're 20yrs old) and keeping the original wheels...what size spacer/s would make the wheels flush? Would I need to make any other changes?
I thought about keeping them...everyone says keep the original battery etc etc but this car is a sentimental car for me and I don't plan to ever sell it so now I'm storing tires for the next 20+ years? I'm going to toss them and not clutter the garage space any furtherI decided I should keep the original tires mounted to the original wheels, in case I sold it maybe it would make it more valuable to whoever buys it? who knows, but it made it easy for me to justify buying new wheels with the new tires
Stock wheel studs?I put a 1 inch spacer in the rear for mine on the stock 17x9.
Had to get longer lugs, but that’s it.Stock wheel studs?
Yeah I'm not as concerned about cost as just keeping the stock ones with old fluid etc and running into issues down the road...I had the cost for coilovers in my head until I did some more looking into it anyway so it's just down to which brand...appreciate the feedbackI've always been a Bilstein fan. Companies like Vorshlag always say to go with the monotube design. The only experience I have with Konis were a set of the orange STR.T's on an 06 convertible. They were decent for the price point.
Unless yours are currently leaking you'll probably be ok since they only have 4k on them.
I have coilovers and really like them. I mostly wanted them so I could put the ride height right where I want it. My car came with H&R Race springs and they were a good set up.Yeah I'm not as concerned about cost as just keeping the stock ones with old fluid etc and running into issues down the road...I had the cost for coilovers in my head until I did some more looking into it anyway so it's just down to which brand...appreciate the feedback
