I just wanted to share with everyone my very positive experience with the new Toyo Proxes R888 tires. I recently installed 18" Saleen wheels and decided to try a new type of rear tire in the process. I used to run 315/35/17 Nitto DR's in my daily driven Cobra and was happy with them with the...

When attempting to leave work this afternoon the tranny left me stranded. Right after I started the engine and let out the clutch (tranny in neutral) I was putting on my seat belt when the tranny started to go into gear. The car lurched and shut off. I restarted and with the clutch still in...

I've had the front MM coilovers installed for several months now and I'm so sick of the friggin' noise they make (rattling at low speeds) I'm about to take them off and throw in the trash. I really enjoy the ability to set the ride height and will be taking the car to numerous road course...

I just installed the BF IRS brace and decided while I have the trunk apart and a welder handy I'll go ahead and make/install a rear strut tower brace. Just wondered if anybody else has done this and if you have any pointers or pics you could share. I've got the plates made for the ends of the...

I just wrapped up an install of the intercooler reservior tank that goes in the factory battery location. All is well except that there is no visible flow in the system with the pump running. The car is off...I'm jumping the relay to get the pump working and test the system. With the tank...

Are you able to custom tune your car by yourself with the xcal2? All I read about is people sending out for custom tunes by vendors/tuners. I thought you were able to adjust the timing and fuel on your own with the xcal2 (these are the user adjustible parameters listed in the advertisement...

I installed a 2.76 non-slip this weekend and noticed what sounds like faint gear whine now coming from under the hood. Just wondered if this is normally associated with the non-slip versions. Don't hate it or anything, just curious. And do the non-slips wear the belts more? Seems like they...

I am looking to get 2 more stock wheels for track use. I would like to run the ET Street 26x11.5x17 tire, but not sure if it will fit. The M/T website lists an 11" measuring rim. The 275/40/17 ET Street Radial has nearly the same tire dimensions, but they list a 9" rim for this tire. Almost...

I have seen the MGW shifter on the web before where the distributor was also throwing in CobraBob's shifter gaskets for around $180. Now I can't find the site again. Anyone know who this is so I can place the order? Or know of a better/cheaper place to order from? Thanks in advance :beer:

...and looking forward to it. Temps are shooting up and I'm sure it will do the car good. Anyone have before/after dyno pulls to test the effects? or temp differences before and after for the intercooler fluid? Probably makes more of a difference on the street, but would be good info. It...

Went to the track this past weekend to knock some rust off my gear-bangin' skills. Got my first 11-sec ET on the first run...finally!!! It was only 11.98, but still counts (w/ 1.98 60'). Next couple runs got worse as track conditions went south. Temps were dropping and all the freakin...

Anyone using one? If so, what kind? Any installation issues? My diff. cover is leaking after the track visit this weekend. Soon I am going to have the cover removed & resealed and will be putting on a Billetflow brace and MM rear diff. bushing (already have the fronts). But I am also...

After going through 2 Ford TOB retainer failures I was not happy about putting in a third and waiting on it to fail too. When calling around looking for an aftermarket piece, I found a billet unit at Lamotta's Performance (407-695-4549). Seems they too were discouraged by the lacking factory...

I will be pulling the tranny shortly to fix the TOB...again. This time I would like to install a poly transmission mount while I am at it, but I am not finding one for the Terminator application. I liked the improvement it made to my last mustang. Anyone have any info or where to buy?

First time was at 9K miles, now again at 21k miles. So I am averaging 10k miles between this failure each time. Is this something that is going to continue to happen every 10k miles?!? What a POS! Read there was a TSB out for this, but no recall. Has anybody had this happen repeatedly? Any...

Had another road trip surprise in the Cobra this afternoon. Had a sweet 911 GT2 come strolling by me on the interstate. After my last encounter with a 911 turbo I was hungry for more (last one was a late model 911 Turbo non-S version). Noticed right away this was a different model and just...

Woohoo, what a day! I RARELY get to kill anything in my normal congested commute, but today I had to make a road trip for work and I hit paydirt. First kill of the day was the Porsche. I was running early for my meeting and decided to slow it to the speed limit (70) to kill some time and save...

After swapping the stock pulley (to a 2.93) back in Feb. I was finally able to get it to the dyno for a test pull. I was a little concerned about the off-the-shelf-tune in the Hypertech. No fear though, results were 448 hp/ 448 tq at the wheels. Mods are CAI, catback, Hypertech flash tuner...

The entire intro is dedicated to the Ford GT...gotta love that, especially from a once import-dominated game. Graphics are better, sound is better, driving action is VERY LIFE-LIKE, and the number of new tracks is astounding. The background scenery has also been enhanced greatly. On a large...

Went to the track a couple weekends ago and broke my personal best ET and MPH records with the Cobra. Only power mods are CAI, catback, and Hypertech flash tune. Pully is still a few months away. Times were... 1st run: sucky launch so run aborted 2nd run: 2.14-60', 12.417 @ 116.48 (Air...

...and love them! After waiting almost a year to finally decide on which springs to get, it is finally done. Dropped the car 7/8" in the front and 1 3/16" in the rear (measured before and after installation). First impressions: Makes for a perfect stance IMO. Not as low as H&R's, but I...

The wife and I were returning home from dinner last night when I was acoustically assualted by an SS in the next lane (he revved up at me...loudly). I assumed this meant he wanted to run, so I asked him if he had done anything to it. He told me it was stock with a smirk on his face. I knew...

I was on my way to the mall this past Saturday with a friend of mine. About half way there I noticed the Lambo behind me. My friend happened to have his camera with him so I told him to snap some pics of it when it went by. Wouldn't you know it...we both got caught at the front on the next...

I ask this because I have not found an answer using the search function. I have recently drained and filled my coolant system, but am now having serious overheating problems. At first I thought the thermostat was stuck shut, but I was told by a Ford technician that the Cobras, Lightnings and...

I was on my way to work yesterday and had one of those EVO's come tearing through the traffic behind me to try and race me. I know these cars are pretty peppy and was anxious to see what they could do. It looked stock to me, but I couldn't hear if it had any exhaust 'cause I had the AC on max...
