Nissan is set to officially launch the new 400Z sports car tonight at 8 PM Eastern. No, it's not a Mustang, or even a Ford, but in this day and age, any traditional sports car is something worth getting excited about.

Up until last Saturday, I hadn't purchased a new car in over ten years, and I was really enjoying not having a car payment. However, I have been putting a lot of miles on my cars lately, and I needed something reliable and inexpensive to run that was still reasonably fun. Simply put, I don't...
We have a subforum for the Ford Bronco Sport. Maybe it would make sense to combine it with the Maverick, since they share the same platform? Seems like a lot of folks are interested in the Maverick from the few threads that have been started already.
I bought one of my childhood dream cars – a 1996 Mystic Cobra – on December 29, 2011, and I’ve had it ever since. I decided that this year would be the year I’d finally make it into the car I've always wanted it to be. Here’s how the car sits now:
I started a thread about it years back, but...
Remember Jared? The guy who apparently lost a ton of weight from eating Subway?

Police raided his home this morning.
Alright, I got the dreaded "IMRC stuck closed" code on my '96. Tonight I'm going to try Seafoaming the car to see if it helps. Should I clear the code before or after? Should I just disconnect the battery first? Is the ECU smart enough to check every time on startup (thus negating the need to do...
Is anybody running this oil separator with AN lines?

If so, what size hose are you using? MMR sells a push-in barb for the PCV grommet on the valve cover, but it's -10AN. Any other options?
My Mach 460 won't turn on at all. The tape eject works and the backlighting works, but there is no power to it. Besides the fuse panels, what should I check for?
Ice Cube's birthday was yesterday, and, fittingly, I received my Cobra's title in the mail from my credit union. I paid off the loan I took out to buy my car three and a half years ago. I celebrated today by driving the car to work in a torrential downpour, and I even got the jerk off hand...
My girlfriend's dad just purchased an Equinox a few months ago and I'm going to surprise him by claybaring and waxing it while he's out of town. There's lots of bugs on the front bumper, and I was just curious what you guys recommended for bug & tar remover that I can buy "off the shelf" at...
Lately the stock stereo in my '96 Cobra has been acting up. The backlighting and cassette eject works fine, but often times it won't turn on, or will turn itself on and off repeatedly. I don't have the tools to pull the head unit, but I did remove the driver's side kick panel and I checked all...
So, I've been getting ready to take my Cobra out of storage, and discovered yesterday that the brake lights aren't working, and the turn signals and hazards are kaput as well. The taillights illuminate and the reverse lights work, however. Any ideas?
Just went and looked at one at the auto show. I'm really impressed with it. The RWD starts at $65k and the S Q4 starts in the mid-70s. 0-60 in 4.7 seconds, 404 HP, twin-turbo 3.0L V6. Very comfy and roomy too. Has anyone driven one? Thoughts or opinions?
I've been hanging around here on and off since I bought my car in late 2011 (December 29, 2011, to be exact), and save for a dyno day, a car show, and a few trips to the strip, I've been pretty quiet. I've decided to give my Cobra top priority among my projects this year, and after spending the...
I finally had a chance to get into the recording studio last month and I recorded one of my originals, "Mister Prozac." You can listen to it for free at cvdh.bandcamp.com, and if you really like it, you can download a copy in the format of your choice for $1. You can find me on Facebook here.
So last week I was driving home from work and I ran out of gas - the needle still indicated just under a quarter tank but apparently my sending unit's a little off. I pulled off to the side, ran my hazards, had AAA bring me a gallon of gas, and went on my way. Now, I'm having a few weird...
I was visiting a friend in Akron and we decided to hit up Summit Racing while we were out looking for an old-school cassette boombox. Summit was selling a full set of brand new 2013 GT wheels & tires for $900. Will these fit? Is anyone running these on an SN95...
Went to drive the Cobra yesterday and the starter's dead. I'm probably going to grab the high-tourque one from American Muscle, but while I was in there, I noticed that the battery is pretty old and could stand to be replaced. I was thinking about picking up a lightweight battery, so I started...
Anyone ordered a kit from these guys?
94-04 Mustang Rear Seat Delete by Shrader Performance - RearSeatDelete.com
It looks promising. MMR's kit would make me drill through the body and it's made out of wood, and some people have complained about the kit. Has anyone tried this kit?
After reading the stickies I went to a test & tune at the local dragstip last night. It was kind of a last-minute thing so I didn't get to air down my tires or ice the intake between runs, but I'm still pretty pleased for my first time out.
I did keep the hood open between runs, with the...
Hey guys, this is kind of a crummy situation and I need some help. I'm in Ohio; I just picked up a car from Jersey with no title. I'm putting the car in my sister's name in Georgia and transferring ownership to her. To register the car, I apparently need a T-22B form for a state inspection. The...
Hey all,
Did a search and couldn't find anything. I have to take apart my driver's door to investigate a rattle, and I thought while I was in there it would be nice to add an auto-down window switch for the passenger side window, if possible. Has anyone done this? Do I modify the existing...
