* My current tuner is awesome and am not saying anything against his name, he's doing a great job, im just asking for some outside help. Maybe someone else has had this same issue? I am so angry that I have typed this about 500 times. I am not angry at anyone in-particular just with this car...

Well finals are finally over thank god, and its time to get the cobra running to its true potential. Picking up where I left off.. My brick and mortar tuner is unable to get my car running properly. I have invested about $1800 in dyno tuning, repairs and maintenance to get it to this point and...

Hey everyone, its been a few weeks since I last got on or commented on anything. School has been killing me and I have to be honest, my car has been a pain in the ass to drive ever since getting it back from the tuner, more on that in a few. But here's where i'm at. I got the car back and was...

Just looking for a set of stock coils.

Hey everyone just wanted to see how everyones drivability is with their Cobra. I am just noticing some things that I really cant tell is normal or not, especially considering the parts in my car. I have noticed the following 1. My car hesitates/bogs, then drives normal, coming out of a shift in...

I am now sitting at 500+ Miles on the engine No leaks, or broken items, but a rattle on the rear of the VMP that disappears after time, I changed the oil and there was about 1 oz in there that was pitch black, so now its full and clean. I took the car into Turbo Technology in Tacoma for my...

Here is the deal, I had a 80inch belt before which was the right size with a 3.5 upper and 6# lower with a 3.4L Whipple. I have since gone to the gen 1 VMP with a 2.8 upper and now a 4# lower. Here is what I have dimension wise and setup wise I thought I ordered the right size (77inch) but...

120 days ago my Terminator became self aware and in an attempt to kill my wallet, skynet sentenced my motor to death. Here’s some of the lessons I learned along the way.... Just because you bought a cobra with extensive paperwork and history, doesn’t mean it runs like it should. Do your...

Here we go terminator fans, My 2003 Cobra is alive and running again. No overheating, no loss of oil pressure, no MAJOR issues. I thought I was having some vacuum leaks so I went after the base of the blower and intake with starter fluid, around the rear of the motor etc, and had no surge in...

Holy shit where do I even start.... Finally have everything wired in and connected etc. Car has juice, everything works but its not getting fuel. I had wired in the FORE FC2 controller under the guidance from a lot of people on this site. I disconnected pin 9 (pk/bk) to use as my remote. So...

looking to find what hose gets plugged into the brass opening if any. Or do I cap it?

I took my whipple off about 90 days ago and cant remember for the life of me my vacuum line placement. I have googled the hell out of this and found some anwsers but not all of them. If someone has a diagram that shows what’s exactly you plug in and where that would be amazing I have from the...

For those of you who don’t know, I just did a rebuild on my 03 cobra. I was able to retain most parts, I upgraded what was needed, full ARP, Boundry oil pump gears, Canton pan and tray, 8.3:1 CR, comp stage 3 cams, and the newest part is the supercharger. I went from a 3.4L Whipple to a 2.3 VMP...

You know those hard to come by and overpriced engine lift brackets? Well I am in a position to make some, I just need some dimensions and specs on them. I can find photos, but don't have a way to get true measurements to get these things made. Anyone have the specs? If so when I make my first...

When i took my timing cover apart to get powder coated, I couldn't remember if I took this pulley off or not, but then when I was mocking up assembly I noticed that its crucial and I need it lol. Problem is, I dont know and cant find the part number for this bad boy. I have the tensioner and the...

so I stripped the timing chain tensioner guide on the passenger side where the bolt goes into the head. The bolt itself is stretched as well. Looks a bit extreme for the minimal amount of strength I used to tighten it. I’m thinking it was on its way before I started this. Do I just tap it ...

So I have seen quite a few different kits for timing/degreeing our beasts. I am in the process of bolting it all together now but I had a few questions (yes I searched) What is the difference with timing the motor with heads on vs off? Is it just that when you time with the heads on you time...

During a mock fit of my fuel system I broke the tab that holds and connects the fuel float lever to the fuel tank sending unit. Can I glue this ? epoxy? something? Thanks everyone.

I have the older Fore Billet hat thats a twin pump. It was previously installed, and is spliced into the stock wiring harness. It has twin GT pumps, and one FPDM with a return system. I purchased the FC2 controller with power and ground kit from FORE. I understand the wiring coming out of the...

ladies and gentlemen, come one come all, and witness as I spend money I don’t have on the car I always wanted lol Today is my prep day, I have spent the last few days gathering what I need to effectively and efficiently pull the motor and trans (out the top) of my 03 cobra. I will document...

ill start off with the fact that my number 6 cyl compression is really low, i performed the compression test and the leakdown to confirm on my own. But car still drove fine. I had to drive it to the store and when i got there it ran perfect, when i went to leave it wouldnt even start and hold...

I posted this in maybe the wrong area but I could use some help.. I pulled the plugs and coils, none of the coils were snapped back over the plugs like they should. I have heads with over 8hrs of port work, upgraded retainers sprints etc, and -21cc pistons and a .20 over bore. I did the...

I took my car in to “The Mustang Shop” in Auburn this afternoon to find out what the hell is going on with this overwhelming smell of gas, the rattle from my TOB or elsewhere. Turns out I have what he called “E85” fuel lines, no fuel leaks anywhere, and fuel smell only in the rear of the car...

So for fun I recorded my dB level in at 60mph on the Interstate results below Now interesting enough here was idle when I got home... about 6 feet away from my exhaust Either way I guess I’m around 101.4 dB and sound like a diesel lol. What about you guys?

Hello everyone, Recently purchased a 2003 Cobra with very extensive documentation and build sheet. This is my first Cobra and am happier than a pig in shit. There’s some weird noises I have come across but with some searches on this forum I have found a lot of them to be normal. Anyways, my...
