I sold the cobra a few months ago and I totally forgot I still have the M/T Et Streets (two rear wheels only). They've only been used at the strip, two or three times no more than 10 passes total. They are mounted on Diamond Racing Wheels, Black. I bought the tires and wheels new, so they are...
Hey, I am thinking about selling my Black 2003 Cobra 10th Anniversary Edition, looking for $27K. The cars got little under 14K on it, one owner. Never seen the winter, snow or salty roads. Basically garage kept year round, driven on sunny days. Perfect condition. Has not been pullied or tuned...
lately i've noticed a grinding noise coming from the rear of the car. the noise is only there under hard acceleration. driving normally, i cant hear it at any speed. its only there when the car is under a heavy load, but once the rpms go up, the noise goes away. Sounds like something metal is...
i went out to the track today and got a funny noise coming from my car... basically from launch through first gear and a split second when i hit second, there is a creaking/grinding noise coming from the console area, maybe the transmission. The noise is loud, as i can clearly hear it over my...
go figure, i took my car into the shop to get the head replaced for the tick coming from the driver's side. The dealership replaced, not one, but both heads. pretty good deal.
now, the car only has 8000 on the clock, do the heads need to be broken in for a certain time period or mileage? or...
i've seen someone or some people running diamond racing wheels in the back and skinnies in the front... i've got diamonds in the back, but cant find front skinny sizes on their website for the life of me, i e-mailed them but got no response. I dont know what size would be needed to clear the...
My power steering fluid is low and i checked the book for the type needed. It states mercon atf... ok, then why the heck is the fluid in my power steering resevoir purple... shouldnt it be red? Is mixing in regular atf fluid with whatever that purple stuff in my resevoir ok?
Need to order some speed bleeders. I checked summit racing and they have the russell speed bleeders... but i dont know the exact size i need. I think they would be summit part number RUS-639560 for the front and RUS-639630 for the rear. I could pick up some from speedbleeder.com part number...
well it was opening weekend at the grove in wisconsin. figured i'd give it a go around and test out my new et streets and see how it works. i got there late, so i was only able to make one pass. worst pass of my life. i dropped the psi to about 15. got up to the burnout box and figured a quick...
Looking for a place in the NW Chicagoland area that can weld in a set of MM full length subframe connectors... anyone know of a good reputable place around here that would do a good job? Need to get this puppies in before the tracks open up...
i'm gonna start up the cobra for the first time this winter since mid november... i havent started it all winter. I was thinking since its been sitting to pull the fuse for the fuel pump and crank it over a few times, build up some oil pressure before i let it idle. anyone have any suggestions...
I just got my et streets mounted on some diamond wheels, do i need to get them balanced for track use only? the shop that mounted them couldnt balance them since they were too wide for the machine. i figure the tires are going to get out of whack after a few passes if they get blanced, so i'd be...
I was wondering what you guys use for helmets at the strip... I checked and correct me if i'm wrong, but the helmet needs to be sa2000 rated? I don't know if the rules changed for this year though...
I want to buy a helmet since the track changes 10bucks for a rental each time i go, and that...
i was just wondering what tire i should get for the track... my stock f1's are still good and i dont drag on the street, but i want to get a tire for the strip. i'm getting diamonds wheels for the rear I;ve have been pretty sure about getting et streets, however, i'm starting to second guess...
like the title suggests, anyone know of a good dyno place in northern illinois? gonna do some mods the winter and probably going to need to make a dyno trip. also if anyone knows of a good tuner in the area. any help would be appreciated... (the only dyno place i know of is a crappy little...
those who put winter tires on their cars... what do you think would be better i got quoted for little over 600bucks for a set of blizzaks on the stock rims, or for about the smae price, go to the stock gt size blizzaks with steel rims... anyone know whether the stoch gt steel rims would fit over...
anyone have a remote starter on their cars? One of my buds just threw one on his car, and it seems tempting to put one in with the winter coming on. It'd be nice to start the car a few minutes before i get to it in the winter months. Always thought that it was kinda ricer to have something like...
I know there are how-to's about this already, but none really explain which wire colors or anything that specific on how to do the rewire. By fog light rewire, I mean to have the fog light switch work independently from the headlights. I did this on my 2003 Cobra and it works flawlessly. I'm...
i was wondering if anyone was using lucas oil stabilizer in their cobras. I saw a bottle of it at the store and used it on one of my other cars... it seemd to have quieted the engine down quite a bit (and the car has 110K on it). it states that one quart of the oil stabilizer with your regular...
here's the noise. when the shifter is not in gear and the clutch is up there is a "hissing" type noise coming from the shifter area. the noise is not loud, but noticable when you have the radio off. now when i press down on the clutch, the shifter still not in gear, the noise goes away. its only...
factory air silencer? does it make a difference, i just have a k&n filter for now. does it help with air flow? seems like it would be drawing in some hot air from the engine if i removed it, but who knows... someone might have tested and tried this.
and what should the spark plugs be torqued...
sorry, but the search feature is down and i wanted to get this out of the way today... need to install a new shifter in the car and i was wondering how to remove the shifter bezel or trim (whatever you want to call it) with the leather shifter boot. I read somewhere that you just lift up on it...
anyone know of a good shop manual (similar to chilton's, have those for all my other cars). I've seen dvd versions on ebay and such, but dont know how good/dependable those things are. Basically need something with all the diagrams, part numbers, spes for torquing, etc. something thats got it...
