My stock radiator is leaking and needs to be replaced. Also, I cannot cool the car with the AC on. Setup is Paxton intercooler, 1996 condenser, and 1996 radiator. Car never had the TSB. Debating on going with a stock replacement 1997, having a new core with bigger tubes put in mine, or...

Hey! The paint on my stock 1996 Cobra hood is getting "weird" (bubbles) in a few places. A paint guy said it is probably a flaw in the gel coat. His advice was to get a new hood, as it may be less expensive than trying to repair the original. Who makes a good quality OEM replacement...

Ever since I put the blower and intercooler on, the car runs hot with the AC on. Due to how the intercooler mounts, I had to take off the "fence" that hung down under the core support. With the Paxton intercooler (pipes go back under the core support, not out the sides) there isn't a way to...

Qty 2- SVE FR500 replicas with Nitto NT555 245/45-17. Near perfect condition (I cannot find any flaws), used only April-November last year. This car is not my daily. Want 10.5" for the rear now. They are silver with a polished lip. In the one pic it looks like curb rash, but that is not...

On the road this morning and the temp gauge is damn near "cold". Checked the other sensor (computer) and coolant temp showed 192 at this moment. With the blower, the revised crossover tube I have positions the gauge temp sensor underneath the top tube (screws in from the bottom). I have...

Take a look at this thread. I can smell burning oil on high rpm decel. When autocrossing, no smoke on accel, but lazy blue smoke from tailpipe on decel through a sweeper. http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?1089760-Oil-smell-high-RPM-decel it got me researching that perhaps...

I am wanting to forge the old dear. Here is my dilemma... Option 1 is to tear down my motor, send heads and short block out, re-assemble. Seems reasonable and seems least expensive. Only issue is down time that the motor is out of the car. Could be an issue with delays in getting parts that...

Imagine a hard pull in 3rd to redline over a bridge, let off throttle completely at top of bridge gradually slow down still in 3rd gear with throttle shut . When that happens I can smell burning oil slightly. Both valve covers are routed to a catch can. PCV inlet is signal for BOV. Tailpipes...

Looking for a stock 8.8 flange and 28 spline yoke for T45 in 96-98 Cobra. Have driveshaft. Let me know what you have! Chris

Running a Novi 2k on a stock 96 Cobra, with a 3.5" blower pulley. Had a miss at 6300 and got that fixed and pulled to redline today. Paxton a to a. Thought I saw 13-14 psi on gauge. Can that be possible? Is the 3.5" stock for the "kit"? If not, what is? maybe my boost gauge is whack...

My turn for the throttle body plug. It popped out tonight under boost. anyone ever find the size if a set screw that matches the threads? I thought about a little of the JB Weld putty and just seal it shut. Thoughts? Chris

SOLD!! MMR -10 Valve cover fittings SOLD!!!! Set of brand new -10, Black, Push in Valve cover fittings from MMR. I ordered these and then went another route. Never used, brand new. MMR wants 25% to restock them, so why not pass on the savings to my buds at SVTP? They list for $79.98...

Wondering what everyone's thoughts are on the best belt for a blower? I have a Gates Green HD 6 rib running my Novi 2k and it seems good, but have nothing to compare it to. What about the Gatorbacks, etc.. Grip, belt life, etc... I did a couple of searches, but nothing conclusive turned up...

Finally got my Novi 2k project done! Did some driving last weekend to dial in the MAF transfer curve and thought I hit 10psi on one pull. I have 3.5" blower pulley and a tock crank. 10psi was what I was shooting for. Working on the tune last weekend and did a couple highway pulls. Come out...

New wheels installed. 19X9, 265/30ZR19 Michelin Sport Pilots.... :) My Dad stores his summer wheels and tires at my place during the winter. Today he came and borrowed the Expy to take the wheels and get his new tires mounted. I was stacking them up again in the spot where I store them and...

When I did my Novi 2k build, I bought various bits and pieces from people. Some I used and some I did not need. Here is the "list of stuff". Want to sell it all in one crack. 50% discount from list on all items, some have no value. $158 for what is left. Said another way, $88 for...

Got the car running with the blower, and have started to dial in the MAF transfer. That Novi 2k is awesome! Trying to figure out what yo do for the air intake. My first step was to get a AFM powerpipe. I had the bungs cut off and welded shut when I had my BOV flange and MAF flange welded in...

Replacing my cluster bulbs with LEDs. The backlighting bulbs are 194s. Simple. But what number are the "little" ones that do the turn signals, high beam, idiot lights? Most cross references list 194, but they are way smaller. Wedge base like a 194, but a fraction of the size. Anyone know...

Searched and searched on this topic and either I am not using good syntax or am not finding it. Entering the home stretch on the Novi 2k build and keep staring at the valve covers. I want to run breathers, but cannot figure out how to get a breather on the passenger side cover. Stock 96 valve...

Ugghhh...trying to mount my 3 gauge pod to the pillar. Got a spare oem pillar cover and mounted the autometer 3 gauge full length cover on top of it, with holes hogged out on the back side for the wires to come through. Gauges are autometer electric oil pressure, boost and Innovate MTX-L. Damn...

Preface: I am building my blower from various sources, as Paxton no longer offers a "kit" for the 1996-1998 Cobra. I got a Novi 1000 with a bad impeller shaft, brackets, Paxton air-to-air, etc..., from a member here. I bought a nice Novi 2000 from eBay. Got the brackets mounted to the timing...

So, working on my blower project. Found a great place (or so I thought) to mount the Innovate Bosch wideband sensor. About 6" downstream from the stock sensor. Looked good and pulled the off road X apart and brought the pipe out to drill and weld. Drilled the hole and THEN read the...

Working on my blower project. Looking for a passenger side coil bracket to modify. Also looking for a bolt/stud combo from the passenger side timing cover. I need the bolt/stud to modify to clear the blower pulley. PM or reply here. Thanks! Chris

Installing the bracket plates for the Novi 2k. The wiring harness for the coil back and AC is going to get "smashed" in-between the timing cover and the plate. Should I strip the covering off the harness or just tighten the bolts down? Thoughts?

Working on my blower build and in need of the steel pipe (intact with ends) that goes from the SAI diverter valve to the exhaust manifold. Anyone have one have one they would part with? Let me know how much...
