    Engine bay whine <2k rpm when cold at a stop

    I normally don't drive it when < 50 degrees but it was 35 this morning. All was normal until I rev'd above about 5K and this whine started when the engine came back to idle and at a stop. It varied with rpm but pretty much went away after 2K or so. After driving on the xpressway for about 20...

    JLT RAI filter size?

    Can anyone tell me the size of the JLT RAI filter? I currently have the JLT CAI and love it but unfortunately since it's a daily driver and road construction the filter just gets too messed up in the well. Thanks

    Any G-Tech numbers, 2nd gear?

    Guys, Specifically I'm looking for a 30-50 second gear run, I've consistently gotten 1.7sec. in the past. I haven't re-run it yet but it seems my power is a bit off, I'd like to know if it's a good benchmark. The reason for 2nd gear is no wheelspin to fudge up the measurement. I also have...

    BFG KDW 285/40/17's on a 9" rim?

    Anyone done this? They say 9.5" but I have the tires already and will be using my stock 9" wheels. I think guys have done this but just wanted to verify. Thanks!

    How are those Gs-D3's in the colder weather?

    How are they between 40-60deg? My F1's get pretty slick under 70deg, I'm looking for something that's half way drivable at colder temps too. (I have Blizzacks for the snow) Thanks

    Front Bumper Loose?

    Anyone else have a loose front bumper? I can lift mine up about 1" right where the fog light is. I looked under there and saw no way to tighten it either, any help in this area would be appreciated too. Thanks

    Dinan5 / Dinan3

    What are these things about? I saw one of each today on the way home, how fast are they? They didn't say M5 or M3 but just like I said in the title on the right rear of the car. Thanks

    Yet another pulley question :)

    I want to keep the stock look so I'm going with a 3.1. I would also like to buy mine from billetflow but I want a one piece pulley, not the hub and pulley assembly. I do not see billetflow advertising the one piece units. Does anyone have a recommendation of another manufacturer of one piece...

    Predator on another vehicle for OBD only?

    Guys, I don't want to mess up anything saved in my predator but I was wondering has anyone used their predator to read and clear obd codes on another vehicle? Thanks

    Triple Pick-up or Speed Release?

    Guys, When speed shifting quite frequently I miss the 1-2 shift because not pushing in the clutch enough. I want to get a UPR Quadrant and Firewall Adjuster but I'm not sure if the Speed Relase one will allow me to raise the clutch release point off of the floor enough. I'm thinking the Triple...

    Adjusting the clutch?

    Guys, My engagement point is real close to the floor, I'd like to raise it some. The ergonomics are bad on this car so I have to stretch to release the clutch and it causes me to miss shifts because of not releasing the clutch all the way. Of course I could move the seat forward but then I'm...

    Side scoop abrasion?

    I've noticed abrasion where the back of the side scoops touch the body. It's like the scoops are rubbing into the clearcoat and leaving white marks. Has anyone else seen this? This makes me real nervous because I had an '89 taurus with lower body cladding that had the paint bubble and eventually...

    Magnaflow or Predator

    I'm considering my next mod and narrowed it down to a Predator from RWTD or a Magnaflow 15644. If I can I'd like to keep the stock exhaust system but if it's gonna limit my gains then I'll upgrade. Any comments on what I would get the most hp boost from or what would be better first? Thanks

    Warm up time?

    Does your terminator take a very long time to warm up, like about 5 minutes before the temp gauge reads normal even in 70deg weather? Seems my previous cars were much faster. A product of the cast iron block or do I have a thermostat problem?

    Can anyone beat the Hypertech tune?

    Thinking about getting a tuner and the Hypertech 43hp gain sure is attractive and the price too. Unfortunately it doesn't have the flexibility of the Predator or Superchips products. I may after the warranty expires go with a slight pulley reduction (3.2) and possibly a cat-back exhaust but that...

    To flash or not to flash, that is the question.

    Just looking for some opinions if I should do the flash or not. I don't have any stall issues but want the best performance I can get. I'll have my JLT CAI shortly and probably will go with a 3.4 pulley for mods with a outside chance I'll get a catback later, that will be all. Thanks

    Snake or Horse

    I've been noticing in the pictures that some Cobras have a snake in the grill and some have a horse. Does anyone know when they changed from the snake to the horse and why? I have the horse and got to say I prefer it.

    Very low cost mods, how much hp?

    Can you guys give me some hp estimates on what a K&N FIPK and 3.20 pulley would give me? Looking for the lowest cost mods possible and I'd like to keep it at the same exhaust sound level that it is right now (stock). Does 40hp sound about right? Thanks

    FR 500 exhaust

    Can anyone point me to a website that has information on the exhaust system? I've searched: http://www.performanceparts.ford.com/home/home.asp without any luck, I thought info would be there but I sure can't find it. Thanks

    '04 Cobra Drivetrain Question

    Hey guys, Just got my '04 Cobra and I have a question about the drivetrain. I'm just getting used to it coming from a Focus 5-spd but it seems that the drivetrain is pretty noisy especially in like the mid gears. It also seems to have a bit of slop and because I'm not shifting real smoothly yet...
