Anybody ever run this combo? I have sportline springs, and am going to run Lakewood drag struts/shocks. I'd like to keep a low ride height, but if they just don't work well at all together I'll go for some B-Springs.

Anyone have any experience with Macs UDP's for our cars? I saw them on American muscle for pretty cheap and was wondering if they're any good.

Heres what im looking at as far as crank damage. Two spun bearing, the two closest to the front of the engine. As of now crank is out, and im hoping to have it machined and assembled with undersize bearings to compensate.

Heard knock...suspected bearing or bearings...pulled pan...found these. Comments/Concerns?

So its been a long busy winter and I havent had time to do anything with my car. But I did spin a bearing last fall and am looking to replace the bearings now. The knock is so small that you can hardly hear it, so im hoping to get away with just replacing the bearings. But say the crank has...

I spun a bearing last november in my cobra. I was contemplating buying a short block. But I really would like to save some money. So with that I'm planning on dropping the pan and replacing all the bearings to hold me over while I save for a short block. Has anyone ever done this?

Okay so im looking into rebuilding my motor this winter with forged rods/pistons. This is something I want to do myself, but I have never done something of this magnitude. I am mechanically inclined though, and have never had a problem doing what I had to do. Does anyone think this will be...

So I have an engine noise, a knock..if you will. It can be heard upon startup, and when I keep the rpms between 2000 and 3000. But not when its sitting idling, or when I rev it past 3k give or take. Common knowledge is telling me I more than likely spun a bearing. But after searching on...

Happy Halloween from Meriden CT! :rolleyes:

Heres some footage of my runs with a buddies 94 Z28. The first vid is from a few weeks ago. Passenger in each car. 1997 Cobra vs 1994 Z28 - YouTube This past weekend we lined em up again and were able to get a dig run in. Camaro was also sporting 1.6 rocker arms in addition to the...

Took my 97 Cobra to the track for the first time time. Made 8 passes, the best of them was a 13.51 at 103mph, with a 2.1 60ft. I feel like I did alright, my goal was 13.7. So im definitely happy with the outcome. Mods are, JLT Ramair/SLP LM2 Catback. And I have 315 Nittos in the rear, they...

Just recently my car has been intermittently giving me a little trouble with the 1st to 2nd shift. The shift wont go smoothly, theres a bit of tension and its almost kinda spongy. Its hard for me to describe, but it only does it with 1st to 2nd. And it has never done it before. I almost feel...

Purchased the American Muscle Sport short throw shifter for my 97 cobra, figured id use it until I purchase a MGW this winter for the stops. Got it in, everythings smooth, except for coming out of 5th. It doesnt want to come out of 5th, ive test fitted the shifter multiple times. Still does...

The other night I was out in my Saab 9-3 and ran into a buddy of mine who has a Mustang Bullitt. I was trying to provoke a run out of him but he wasnt having it. A friend he was with had a 99 Crown Vic Police Interceptor though and he said he was up for a run. My Saab is completely...

I figured id ask this question for a friend here, because this is a car forum. And also because there is a lot of nice, helpful people who view this section of the forum quite often. So here we go... A friend of mine has a 2002 Honda CRV, he was out drifting in the snow the other night. He...

I went about my annual Christmas Eve festivities as usual tonight. Had a decent time, and got to talking to one of my cousins about his new car. I hadnt noticed it on the way into the house, but he was telling me all about his 2002 GTI VR6 with a cold air intake/catback exhaust. I told him...

So I was pumping gas this morning, just waiting for the tank to fill. When I noticed a Genesis at the light right across the street, I thought it was a good looking car. Then about 10 seconds later a black GT pulled up, it was a 99-04. From what I could tell the Genesis was completely stock...

Does anybody here know what a ballpark wholesale price on a 03/04 cobra would be? My father works at Richard Chevrolet in Chesire CT, and would love to help me out. He said he would let me know the next time their used car guy sees one around. But im getting a little impatient. Could anybody...

Anybody in the Meriden area ever see a light brown C5 corvette with "Forged 402" airbrushed on the back, or know the owner of this car? This guy moved into a house a street behind me at the beginning of summer and I see this car everyday. Its really a sweet car, sounds nasty. Ive just never...
