Hey guys, I believe the rear end on my R is shot. Something is locking up everytime I make a slow turn, and I get a major clunking sound. The limited slip is just not working right, it sounds real bad. I have been thinking about doing what JoeJ did for a while now, and also going with...

What racing brake fluid do you guys recommend for our 00 R's? ATE Super Blue? Motul 600? Castrol SRF? Ford DOT 4? Thanks, Mike

Hey guys, I'm going to the Shelby National Convention this weekend, I'm gonna bring my Cobra R binder out there. Which page do you think I should have Carroll Shelby and the original crew sign? Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks, Mike

Quoted from June issue of C&D: "...SVT fitted an 11-inch unit similar to that previously encountered in the Cobra, but with increased clamping force to cope with the higher torque output." Do you guys think this will be a readily available and suitable replacement clutch for our R's? Mike

Guys, I think I might try to attend the Ford 100th anniversary next year with the R. Anyone else gonna do it? What about us California guys? Let's plan to head out there together! Mike

Car & Driver, April 2002 issue: Before pg. 27 there is a green BFG ad. In it they advertise the g-Force KD's on a C5 Vette. I know the KDW's are easy to get, buy why are they advertising KD's? Are they making them available to everyone now? Mike

Guys I would like your opinion on what color my harnesses should be: red or black?? The roll cage is going to be black. Thanks, Mike

Have you guys seen the $600 '00 Cobra R burnout video from Motor Trend? I have a digital file, but I think it's too big to email. Any ideas on how others can see it? Mike

Well I got myself a new set of the BFG KD's. I don't plan to use them, and was wondering if you guys have any storage tips. Is it possible to have these tires still in good condition 10 years from now? Thanks, Mike

Hey guys, I have some pictures of the lower part of the 2000 R Intake Manifold if anyone is interested. You will see around the seals that some of the metal has chipped off or there is some sort of corrosion happening. My body shop guy says he thinks it was filed down to much from the...

Hey guys, I am having a hard time getting a Cobra R front splitter in good condition. We are having trouble getting the paint to stick on the one Jason sent us, we think the ones SVT has in their wherehouse are defective, don't know for sure though, but even the experts can't get the paint to...

Hey guys, I found a 2000 Cobra R R/C model by Tyco at Kmart for about $20. The decals suck and the color scheme is not exactly correct, but for the price I thought some of you might be interested. Mike

Who's 00 R was in Oregon at the 8 hr. endurance race? Rod (the guy with the fasteners) said he saw an R there that completed the full 8 hrs. All right!! Mike

I posted this on another board and thought I'd share it with the fellow R owners as well: 2002 Z06 impressions: Very refined ride for such a powerful car. Comfortable enough to be a daily driver, a little bumpy on really bad roads but for the most part this could almost be a touring car. I'm...

What kind of roll cage is recommended for the 00R? I would probably want to meet SCCA regulations even though I will probably never actually do an SCCA race. Does anyone make one that can be bolted on? Any input Kevin? Thanks, Mike

Hey guys, My boss called us all at work and said not to open any kind of mail that says "A Gift For You" or anything strange. We are talking about "real mail" here. Some of our doctor clients have already confirmed almost 10 deaths from poisoned mail. My boss said at the time she called, over...

Is it true that there were suppossed to be 3 Cobra R's at the 24 Heures de Le Mans? If so, what happened to them? What about Motorola Cup which an SVT mag says that's what it was built for? How come we don't see any of these awesome cars on Speedvision?

A Ford dealer here in So-Cal has 2000 Cobra R # 300. This is what I heard, I haven't checked on it yet. Also heard that the owner of the dealership (Mustang collector - has 93 and 95) was originally going to keep it for himself and wouldn't even sell it for 100K. However it is now for sale, but...

I was told that the strange black box that comes out from the air intake pipe (before the throttle body), is to reduce the noise level of the 00 R. Is this true? If that's the case, I think we could fabricate a mandrel bent power pipe and do away with that box. What do you guys think?

All you guys that bought a Playstation 2 for you or your kids, look out for Grand Tourismo 3, there is a Cobra R in it (Also a cool Z06). I played the demo, it is awesome. The detail and accuracy of the Cobra R is incredible, and the road courses are quite challenging. So if you don't have a...
