After 1st gear WOT pull (no hop) my cobra has developed a clunking noise that is dependent on vehicle speed, not engine speed. Clutch in/out has no effect Brakes have no effect turning/swerve has no effect. Same in any gear, including reverse I put the car up on my lift and inspected...

Having issue with fuel system it appears. Stock fuel system, pumps, BAP. Car shuts off randomly. Pulled code 1233 for FPDM. First time issue happened, I let it sit an hour then it started and ran a few miles. Last trip ended up with a tow. 30A Fuse to BAP relay was popped, replaced. Relay is...

I have had intermittent ping/detonation problems under full throttle for the last year or so. Started as just a little ping after a gear change in the cooler months. Has slowly gotten worse, although not always related to outdoor temperature or a specific tank of fuel (91 octane). Happens one...

In process of a coolant flush/refill and wondering if it is possible/worth the effort to get 100% of the rust out. I drained system by removing the lower-radiator-to-thermostat-housing hose and crossover-to-thermostat-housing hose (I get 2 gallons out this way). I left the...

Billet flow idler bearing (NTN) only made it about 15k miles before they were fairly loose. This seems low, but the stock idlers where shot at only 35k. Seems like a short life span either way. I run the factory lower pulley. I replaced with NSK 6203ZZ on amazon at about $10 each. You may...

My wife brought home this mustang while I was gone for a few days. It's a 2013 model that was supposed to be recycled. Her name is Cecelia. Unfortunately she has programming issues including bucking and intermittent stuck throttle, not to mention high maintenance. The other mustang in the...

Car failed emission test with no changes from last test 2 yrs ago. Note says 'vehicle has received tamper fail status from ODB....vehicle needs to be evaluated at waiver station' I can read VIN with my handheld, and there are no DTCs so the ODB port is working. Anyone have experience with...

I have noticed that my AFR has gone up (lean) over time. Tune/combo hasn't changed in years. I have a wideband gauge and keep an eye on it as much as possible. I tried a full pull thru 2nd gear today and the AFR starts in the 11's as expected but goes up as RPM increase. I shut it down as...

1200 miles out of Mickey Thompson Drag radails MT DR have performed great, but it seems I got less miles that others here. They lasted only 11 months and 1200 miles. No burnouts, just aggressive stop-n-go commuting to work. At $600 a set, thats 50 cents a mile.... My car is just pullied, and...

Have a squeak coming from right side of car after brake job, so I reads some threads and also found a couple with 'check your axle nut torque'. I bought a 36mm socket, and sure enough both nuts were only ~30ft/lbs. I torqued them best I could re-assembled for now. Question is what should I do...

I believe the spec for rear camber is about 1 degree, so after bushing/spring install I set camber to 1 degree. 2 sets of tires later, the inside tread wears down more and will get to wear bars when outside is still ~20%. So I am contemplating running camber at 0 to 0.5 degrees to get a little...

Disclaimer: This is my experience and opinion. yours may vary. A little while ago switched from Flowmasters to a stinger CB and although different, the rasp of the stingers was too much and they had to go quick. I run a O/R Prochamber, and the stingers sounded horrible under load at mid RPM...

At 44k the one of the stock rear pads was done, so I figured I would upgrade pads, pretty things up and replace all the fluid. After reading lots of threads I went with carbotech street pads (1521). I removed and painted the callipers, and had all 4 rotors turned. The front pads and rotors had...

Bolra Stinger mufflers out of a Bolra 140052 IRS catback. No dents. 5" diameter, 10" length, 2-1/2" tubing $200 for the pair + shipping These are for sale as I have switched to magnapaks. Equivalent muffler...

I have been researching how to better weld stainless and mixed types of materials. Looking for some feedback from those who have done custom SS systems. I am looking to swap out stinger mufflers for some magnapacks. The Bolra tubing is 'austenite' (guessing 304 or something similar) and the...

Flowmaster 942444's in stock 2-1/4 SS tubing. Tips upgraded to 3-1/2" SS. All welded, no leaks, no dents. $150. Willing to ship, but this system will need to be cut to do so. Will also cut and sell just muffs, tips, flow tubes or whatever...

I recently made the change to stingers after much debate. Because I am cheap, I welded flowmasters into the stock pipes shortly after I bought the car, and added some 3.5" tips. With a MAC pro chamber this set up had drone so I added resonators into the mid pipe, it helped somewhat. I...

'MF upper starter bolt', aka 'b---h bolt' - The starter bolts are a PITA, but easy once you have the recipe. If you search the threads there are many methods discussed and debated. So here is a picture of the access point and extension/sockets that worked for me. I have stock K...

Installing an RXT and have some concerns with flywheel fastener torque and thread locker use. I have searched and read the relevant threads, however I am still not confident. Floater ring to Aluminum flywheel OEM torque 26-33 ft lbs, + 60 deg OEM thread locker: red OEM lock washer: yes...

Looking for a set of 2-1/2" tailpipes for 03-04 IRS. Just need from muffler to the tips, but will also take all the tubing and tips if available. SS or aluminized steel OK.

Before I order parts and get started on my clutch job, I wanted to see if anyone has parts feedback or tips/tools to make my life easier. I have done several mustang clutch/trans jobs over the years, and have read the relevant threads here in SVTP. Stock clutch is still OK on the street but...

Kinda cheesy, but only $15. Since it only takes money to go faster, it may not apply to you.

2014 F250 6.7. I did drive it stock for a few weeks before I did the custom lift, wheels/tire, audio, ect. I think the Cobra is jealous I'm spending money on another vehicle.

No not the pump in the car, the one at the gas station. Last 2 fill-ups at different station both had broken auto shut offs. Luckily I stayed with the car to witness gas pouring all down the side. In 20 years I have not had this ever happen, then twice in a row in my Cobra, WTF?? Car stinks...

Alternator job isn't fun, and is wosre when its 110+ degrees so I procrastinated on doing a cooling mod until now. Stocker made it 40k, Ebay 160 about 3k. I have a spare waiting for when it goes again. The regulator is about 4" from the exhaust port #5. This is an unhappy place to be. I...
