    "terminator" goes down...

    I was just minding my own business, going down the freeway when all of the sudden a sonic blue 03 got up next to me, revving his shit all over the place. We went from a 40 roll and I got 10 or so cars on him. There were probably 15 or so people in the car, some were on the roof and such. It...

    took a couple of quick, crappy pictures of the Cobra, but I thought I would share them anyway. Enjoy...

    transmission issues...

    I let a friend drive the car today and while on the highway she wanted to downshift into 4th, but instead jammed it into reverse for a couple seconds (making the most awful grinding noise I have EVER heard). When we got to our destination I noticed that once engaging reverse, it was VERY...

    The fan will not turn off....

    So last night I turned the car off and the fan was definitely still running, and continued to do so for about 20 minutes...so i took it home and disconnected the battery which obviously turned it off, but when I reconnect it, it comes back on again. This just started out of nowhere...any ideas...

    Spark plug/oil issues...

    About a month ago, I was driving home on the highway when the ABS light came on. From then on I noticed some hesitation in the car at low RPM's when you give it more than half throttle. Recently the car threw a CEL, which I imagine had to do with the poor throttle response. The low oil light...

    just FYI...

    I posted up in the other thread already, but for those of you that didn't know, I put my Cobra into a curb at 40+ mph...I just hit it from a stop, smashed 2nd and it went completely sideways--same thing I've done a hundred times before, I don't know what was different this time. But it did like...

    '99 engine swap into '96--overheating question

    Kind of a long post but anyone that has had experience with working on these cars, please read: I have been helping with a '99 Cobra engine swap into a '96 Cobra. Everything has been swapped into the car, the wiring has been properly modified, the returnless fuel rails were retained, kept...

    Idle problem again...?

    I started my car up tonight and it had a rough idle right after startup, the car was shaking pretty bad and then it got progressively better as I let it sit for a moment. The shaking was most pronounced as the car immediately started up and went back to idle from ~2000 RPM. I heard no unusual...

    P0171 lean code...ideas?

    I changed the oil in my car today and not even a half mile down the road, the CEL goes off while at the same time, I notice the car has a rough idle. I immediately have the code scanned and it's a P0170 "system too lean." This is not the first time this has happened, and it was fixed last time...

    JLT install questions...

    I am in the process of installing my JLT CAI and I have run into two nice roadblocks. The first is when I removed my smog pump to move it over, the threads where the bolts mount onto the frame rails somehow stripped, so I cannot get the smog pump to reattach. Secondly, the filter will NOT...

    Belt squeak?

    I started my car up this morning and it made an awful screeching noise from the engine, sounded like it was coming from the belt. The noise went away after I drove the car for a few minutes though. I know it isn't the throwout bearing, this was definitely something different--could the belt...

    S-281 spoiler owners...

    I got my painted spoiler on today, and it looks really good except for one thing...it doesn't line up well on the part that extends over the fenders past the trunk lid. There's a good 1-2 inch gap there where it looks like it should be close to the fender. Also despite all the tape I put along...

    Longtubes question...

    I am thinking about buying longtubes in the very near future but I have a couple of concerns. First, I have a Bassani Catted X-pipe and a Borla XR1 catback, and like the idea of not having to change that. How much power gain would I get putting shorties on the current setup I have? What about...

    Car sputtering...

    Yesterday I filled up with what I thought was bad gas at a shitty convenience store in town. 10 miles after filling up the car fell on its face around 2-3k and got worse from there. I got home and put some ocatne booster in the car to "help" but nothing changed. This morning the mechanic I...

    Low Oil Light

    Tonight I was getting off the freeway after being on there for about 20 minutes, and I pulled into a gas station. After filling up I was pulling out and my Low Oil Light came on and stayed on...so I turned the car off and everything seemed normal, oil pressure was normal, I know the oil level...
