If my front seats didn´t have the same color combo, I would agree. But fronts with grey and rear seat without triggers my OCD reflex :) The rear seat was "free" so If I can´t make it look good, I´ll roll back the process and learn to live with the different color tone.

Good idea. I´ll look into that when I´m finished (and happy) with the seat install.

Here is the adjustable hinge on the rear seat and the plug on the seat that I mentioned above.

Yeah, I hear you. Doesn´t help either that there are different names for the same thing. Backspacing, ET :)

OK, so the sun is shining and my fingers are itching so I awake the beast (well) from it´s winter sleep and pull the seats from the car so I can compare them to the S197 ones. I knew the S197 rear seat was wider but was surprised to see it was actually 6" wider as shown in the pictures below...

I think you will have fitment/poke issues with that width and that offset. I´d go no more than 275 in the rear and 265 in the front. The brakes won´t be an issue but because of the poke of the wheel, there´s a chance that you´ll rub the fender going over bumps and such. I would install one of...

Picked up the seats this morning and it´s clearly going to be a challenge. For starters, the seat rest is two pieces whereas the SN95´s is a one piece. Just a quick reflection.

Check out willtheyfit.com Their calculator will tell you how much poke you get with lower ET´s compared to what you´re running now. I don´t think you will have a problem with +22 ET but better be safe than sorry :) Some stats below regarding wheel sizes, ET´s and models 1994-1998 Mustang...

If no one has done it, it will definitely be a case of trial and horror o_O I´ll update this thread as the work progresses. It´ll be a while though since my car is in storage and probably won´t see daylight for another couple of weeks.

Fellas, I know the question has been asked before but havent found a definitive answer. Is it possible to install the S197 rear seat in an SN95? I picked up a complete set front and rear seats for 400$ and was ony planning on replacing the fronts but since I got the rear as well, why not give...

I agree. Sound is more relevant than gains. Too bad one has to make a decision based on youtube clips though :)

Great answer. Thanks. It´s a summer cruiser only so salt isn´t an issue. I´ll check out the exhaust thread as well. Any thoughts on power gains or is it same same?

Fellas, I wanna swap out my standard H-pipe for a X-pipe with cats but I have no idea if I need a short or a long midpipe. It´s probably a short I need but want to ask the pros before I order. Car is fitted with stock headers and a SLP LM2. Short: BBK-1538 Long: BBK-1670 What can I expect...

Hi all, I want to upgrade to a quickshift for my Cobra but since there is a bunch of them, I´d like get som IRL input. Just to narrow it down, I´d like a quickshift that doesn´t require muscles like Mr. Olympia to shift gear :) and doesn´t make any noise when in gear. I don´t know if it´s true...

Somebody is branching out :rolling:

Guys, What is the width on the standard 5-spoke chrome cobra wheels and are all rims the same width? I´m changing the rear tyres and want to go wider than the standard 245. Thanks.

Guys, I just picked up the cobra from the shop after having 4.10 gears installed. Of course I want´t to try them out so I find an open country road with no traffic and floor it. First gear, wohoo. Second gear, hmm front end feels unstable. Third gear and the front end feels like it´s sailing on...

Guys, Any way around correcting the speedo without getting a tune? Don´t want to invest 400$ for a tuner just yet. Only mod is a cat-back so don´t see any other gains other than the speedo correction.

Fellas, After I bought my 99 cobra I discovered that some nimwit had replaced the stock head unit with an aftermarket unit and bypassed the amplifiers in the process. needless to say, it sounds like crap. I want to correct this by using the right conversion harness and letting a professional...

Fellas, I´m swapping out my crappy suspension bits with a set of new Bilstein B6 dampers and Vogtland springs that lower the car 1,5". I´m going to need to get the car aligned afterwards. What is a good street setup for a car that will only see higways and country roads? Anyone with similar...

Guys, I´m swapping out my gears this spring so I need some info on what type of differential oil I need and how much. Can´t find any info on this using the search function so hopefully someone can enlighten me.

Guys, As an overseas Cobra convertible owner, I have limited options when it comes to aftermarket parts for my car. I have already got the Vogtland sport springs from Germany (1,6") and are now looking to pair them to a decent set of shocks. Basically, I only have one option, unless I want to...

Each morning when i get in my car, I´m greated by a smell that is not so pleasant. Ever been to the gym and had a proper workout and then forgot to put your clothes in the washer and after three days you come around to it and put those stinky clothes in the washer? Well, that´s how it smells. I...

Hi all, Fellow Cobra owner and overall mustang fan from Sweden here. I recently bought my first Cobra but used to have a SN95 a couple of years ago so not totally new to Mustangs. However, the Cobra is a totally different beast and feel i can´t apply any knowledge I had on the old 5.0 SN95 to...
