So my Whipple Cobra has around 600rwhp, and the previous owner installed a McLeod dual friction cluth setup. Unknown flywheel/cable/etc as I haven't taken it apart yet. First, it kicks out of reverse. Ok, I know how to get around that, but...my GOD the chatter. I hate the constant noise in the...
Thanks to the woman that decided to t-bone my Termy, I'm in the market for a car again. So, I have around $7k (maybe a little more) in hand and am looking for a nice fox coupe to drive for the next couple of years while I go back to school.
Yes, I got more than that from insurance, but I...
I currently have 18x9 and 18x10 FR500 wheels on my '03 Cobra. Well, its time to buy tires! Anyone have any suggestions on front back sizes and/or brands? I daily drive the car, and don't plan on strip duty, BUT I want traction when I need it and a quiet ride.
Thanks in advance!
I HATE these things!!! The spacers for my alternator are all wrong, and the crank pulley is an absolute bear. My car is sitting torn apart until I get these issues fixed. Anybody have any suggestions? I'm installing (well, TRYING to install them) on a ;96, BTW.

Ok, here's the dealio:
I'm about to install an aluminum flywheel, spec stage 2 clutch, underdrive pullies, long tubes, x-pipe, and some other wonderful things on my '96. Here are my quesions:
What should the flywheel be balanced to?
I've heard that a 99+ later pump is a direct bolt-on...
<rant>
I have a FICO of 650, no bankrupcies, my bills total about $300 a month, I make around 20k a year (not counting my live-in S.O. who makes about the same) and NO ONE will finance me for anything!! I don't get it? I have two paid-off car loans, a paid off student loan, and 2 credit cards...
My girlfriend has a 99 Escort ZX2. Manual, with no options. Bare as can be. I've been driving this thing awhile and have come to the conclusion that with a few slight mods, it may actually be decently quick. It feels surprisingly good going through the gears (for a bone stock 4 cylinder.)...
Well, it's time for a rebuild as my rings are going and smoke is a 'comin.
So, here's the deal. I'm about to get going with the job, but I'm trying to put all the pieces together. So far I'm thinking:
Summit rebuild kit w/forged pistons, .30 over.
Manley Rods
$500 in machine work (...
What parts (minus the complete engine of course) would I need to put a Mach 1 engine in a 96 Cobra? I am seriously considering this as it's time for a rebuild and would rather have a new engine.
Thanks!

WARNING: Mustang purists should AVOID this thread.
I am considering repainting my Mystic another color. Personally, I don't like the Mystic and don't like spending so much money or repaints and fixes and such. SO, I am considering DSG, or black. What do you guys think? Opinions...
I usually try to post with the utmost class and intelligence, but on this occasion, I have to just let go for a moment.<unintelligent rambling>
WOW.....Riding in that Terminator was BAD ASS........525 or so at the wheels....PULLED and PULLED......Like nothing I've ever ridden in.....Scary...
Alright guys!! Keith is a HAPPY Cobra owner now. I (refer back to earlier post "advice from the experts") installed the new CAI and K&N, and WOW what a difference. It had an Anderson Ford Motorsport CAI on there before, which dropped the filter and mass air filter deep into the fender...and I...
There are PLENTY of Terminator videos around...but does anyone have any vids of S/C 96-98's? I would love to see some in-cars...Surely there are a few out there somewhere. If so, please link!
Thanks!

So...here I am, driving home from work in my '96 Slobra....when from behind me he comes, different color body panels shining in the sun, exhaust noise reverberating for miles. Knew it was a ricer. Yep. He passes me, and I think nothing of it. A mile or so up the road, the road three lanes...
Advice from the experts!!
I currently own a '96 Mystic Cobra that I am looking at spending about $5000 on in the near future in maintenance/small fixes, and a buddy price on a paint job. I haven't decided yet what I want to do...keep the car and spend the money, or fix a few things and trade...
/begin rant
I never would have thought when I get my '96 Mystic that no one else liked the damned things. I have been trying to find a coupe or (more preferably) a '93 Cobra to trade it for. NO ONE seems interested. I mean, honestly, the car does need some minor paint work...rear...
Anyone willing to trade a black 93 for a '96 Mystic? Mystic has 4.10's, exhaust, little stereo additions, CAI, and 115,000 miles.
Just curious! Been looking for a black 93 forEVER.
Well I made my first runs down the 1320 in my 96 tonight.....I ran a 14.06 at 100 and a 13.98 at 100...both with 60 foots of about 2.1-2.2 or so (time slip is in the car...too lazy to go get it).
It has a stock engine, 4.10's, x-pipe, flows, and a power pipe.
Is it just me or does this...
