    Engine plate/bellhouse spacer missing

    Last time I was under my car, I noticed that the engine plate/bellhousing spacer was missing. This brings up two concerns for me: 1) this plate provides vital protection for the flywheel/transmission in general. Luckily the car has barely been driven since this happened last (a shop had the...

    Crank pulley - can't remove tribar - Need help

    The rubber bushings in my crank pulley are (like those on most cobras with them at this point) very worn and allow play. I've decided to tackle the removal of the crank pulley and replacement of the bushings. I actually was able to maneuver through what everyone had made out to be a nightmare...

    Looking for a cheap Terminator in Houston?

    Saw this link and thought I'd share. Less than $12k for a running, driving, clean-titled Cobra is a good deal in my opinion. This looks like a great platform for a project/race/drag Cobra. I don't know, nor will I vouch for, the seller...

    No crank, no start - assistance needed diagnosing

    Hello fellows. I am having a problem with my Cobra that surfaced out of nowhere. Everything seems totally fine with the car (dash lights, accessories, etc.) until I try to turn the key from 'run' to 'ignition.' As soon as I make the turn to try to start it, I hear one (sometimes two, but the...

    Terminator vs cones - my first autocross

    So I finally got to get my car off of the streets and onto the "track." I haven't driven on any track before, I haven't drag raced (legally...), and I haven't autocrossed before. I had SUCH A GOOD TIME. Seriously though, I might as well have drawn autocross into a syringe and injected it. If...

    How did you know that your alternator was dying?

    For those of you that did not get stranded on the side of the road when your alternator suddenly stopped charging, how did you know it was about to give out? My charging system has been fluctuating from 13-14 volts and dips into the 12's occasionally. I know there is a good amount of...

    Does flow to the heater core ever fully shut off?

    Does anyone have knowledge of the inner workings of the heating system? Is there always a small amount of coolant flowing through the heater core? Or does the coolant flow shut off when the A/C is set to the blue side? Do you have to turn the fan on to open up coolant flow? For example, if...

    Does anyone have a picture of their O2 sensor bung?

    Hey guys. I've got my midpipe off of the car and I'm taking it to a shop to get a bung put in for my wideband. Does anyone have a picture of where the bung was installed on their midpipe? I am running OEM manifolds, so I'm looking to put the bung on the drivers side near the front OEM sensor...

    Kurgan Triple-Pump Fuel Hat w/ 2 GT pumps, Black306 FPDM - PRICED TO MOVE

    Hello all. I have not been on the forums for a while due to some issues with my Cobra. In order to attempt to gather some funds to get my car back to normal, I have to sell what was going to be my next upgrade. Neither of these items has been installed by me. They were still sitting in the...

    zero passes at the track eh?

    So could somebody elaborate to me the method by which on builds a "turn key 9.4 second quarter mile beast" with an "engine and transmission" with "zero passes on the track?" No offense meant by this post (in case the creator is reading this), but how could the engine/trans in this car have never...

    Tree almost killed my Cobra last night

    This is one of those circumstances where you ask yourself if you're really lucky or quite unlucky. Considering the fact that the house wasn't hit (renting - what a relief) and nobody was injured I consider myself lucky. I would have guessed the damage would be all or nothing in a falling tree...

    Seeking advice: Racing on a Highway

    A little bit of a read but SWIM is genuinely asking for advice. The other night SWIM and his friend (we will say Jeff) were out having a nice cruise. At a particular road SWIM and Jeff happened to be beside each other at a stoplight. The two people accelerated from the light at a rapid pace, but...

    WARNING: rear passenger head-to-heater coolant hose

    I am not sure how well known of an issue this is, but I recently had a major coolant loss while driving for no apparent reason. I did some searching and found vague mentioning of a bolt that caused leaks on New Edge mustangs on the hose that connects the rear passenger head to the heater core...

    Anyone have a wiring diagram for the O2 sensors?

    I am attempting to install an PLX SM-AFR wideband. I will be replacing a front sensor and using the simulated output to feed the PCM the narrowband signal and will install a resistor on the heater line to simulate "heating" of the sensor. However this is made difficult by my lack of knowledge as...

    WTB IRS Diff Cover

    Title pretty much says it. Still have the stock cover and it likes to drip drip. Not going to reseal it unless I'm actually solving the problem. LPW, Ford Racing, brand doesn't matter; anything is an upgrade. Post or PM if you have anything. PayPal preferred and I have 100% eBay feedback I can...

    Buying an '03 Cobra - Noise questions

    Hello everyone. I am looking at a 2003 Cobra with 55,000 miles on it. It has what I measured to be a 2.9" (or whatever is closest) pulley with a tune and a Bassani cat back. Those are the only engine modifications to the car. I have thoroughly inspected the car for signs of previous...
