    Installing ATS Brembos on the Cobra.

    In your opinion, would there be enough room to run a 14" disc with the calipers the way theyre being mounted? Or if not, could you clearence the calipers to fit one in?

    This is the direction I want to go with my 99 Cobra. I want to start taking it to the track. Im a just trying to figure out a realistic package. Have never tracked a car. My idea is to go, suspension/chasis, then brakes. Very curious about your chasis setup and tire clearance with the lowered...

    Tail lights ... option to replace Amber

    You can, there are write ups on the net on how to do it, but I believe it involves some slicing and splicing. Just remember if you buy gt lights and the wiring harness that's all money that could've gone with the good tail lights. Im saying this because that's the route I took and wasted good...

    Tail lights ... option to replace Amber

    I had the same problem. Seems in Germany cars have to have amber turn signal lights in their taillights, so every GI with a Mustang is after the 99 Cobra tail lights. Problem is, no other tail lights look so damned cool on the back end, so I ended up saving $450 and buying a good original set...

    Road racing K member?

    97Casper, When I get closer I'll def check around and see if there are any reputable shops in my area, but I want to do as much as I can. The IRS bushings are all shot so I'll be doing those too but since I have headers waiting to install I figured I'd do the K member first.

    Road racing K member?

    97Casper, Wondering which vendor you bought it from and how is their customer service and support. Any hang ups on the install? Any sledge hammering or drilling and grinding required? Did your alignment guy have any trouble getting it dialed in?

    BMR Suspension Breaking into the 79-04 Mustang Market! Sneak Pic K-Member Pic

    Wanted to let you know there is a market leaning towards handling while being strong enough to handle pot holes and public highway conditions. Personally, I don't care about a cushy ride I just don't want the K member cracked. Right now Im looking at Griggs and MM but would like to see another...

    Road racing K member?

    98SaleenCobra, How long have you had the Griggs on and how has it done with the pot holes and stuff on regular roads? Im interested in knowing if you ordered a whole kit or just a few parts too. Have you run your set up on a road course or open track day? From what I've seen on the internet the...

    Road racing K member?

    I'm building this car with the idea of taking it to the track on "driver education" days as well as spirited driving around back roads. I want something with this engineered into what ever I buy. Team Z stuff is popular but it looks like everyone else's drag racing units. Is MM stuff over built...

    Road racing K member?

    Time to get back to the hobbies.... I got through this summer now it's time to turn my attention to the Cobra.... I looked up K members on ebay and there seems to only be drag units for sale. 85% UPR units with an AJE thrown in. There was one add I found for Maximum Motorsports but it was from a...

    How good is a T45, or can one be?

    I didn't realize that the T45 was only in our Mustangs for a couple years...and that's it. Is it because Tremec bought Borg Warners light duty transmission line? When I started thinking about buying another T45 and making it bullet proof I learned a lot that I didn't know. Like a lot of...

    K member moly or mild steel for street and road course. Also, updates on which to buy

    I see people talking about what k members are made of and I cant tell if the one that's best is moly or mild steel for the street and some road course hobby driving.

    Cams and valves, cams or valves, or just one or the other?

    How does bigger valves affect what cams you choose? Maybe not at all? How much more air do they let in with the stock valves? Eventually the Cobra will be FI down the road. I have a set of heads Im working on was thinking about going with larger valves if they'll work with a centri or turbo...

    Working on lower intake, with some questions.....

    I cut the bottom off the intake and noticed that it isn't flat that it peaks in the middle line down it's length. Any idea if this is on purpose to bounce the air back or whatever? Also, is there any extra room to add a spacer to the bottom of the intake? If anyone has had their lower off and...

    Cheap forged rods? Made in China? 2 piece rods that are welded?

    Been thinking about getting a blower and what all that would take. Was pricing forged rods when I came across CHEAP rods without names of makers. One add on ebay mentioned I beam rods being made in two pieces, "to ensure the proper flow of the grain" and welded together. Im no mechanical...

    Defeat PATS? (pass. anti-theft system)

    Without knowing it I disabled my Viper alarm system while putting on new tail lights. At the same time the PATSII system on my 99 activated. The only thing that has power is the blinking "theft" light on the dash. Hell if I know why it came on, and I dont know if I even have the factory key...

    New tail lights, car wont turn over

    This is weird. I put in new tail lights (stock Cobra lights) and had the trunk up of course the whole time so the trunk light was on. Before working on the car I started it up and drove it to the gas station to get a Coke. Drove it back and it started up with no issues. Replaced the tail...
