I'm trying to figure out what are the stock temps the low and high speed fan turn on and off. I feel my car is running hotter (monitoring ECT through scanguage) than it used to, and is slowly losing coolant. I have to add a bit of water to the overflow every few months to keep it above the min...

I just came back from Germany last week and while there got a chance to drive on the Autobahn with my rental car. Frequently I had it running many minutes at a time full throttle which could eventually reach and sustain 122mph. I'm guessing most cars there are running full throttle all the...

Is it normal for power steering fluid to get low with time or should I be worried about a leak? If it's normal then I can just go buy some fluid and fill it back up myself, otherwise I'll have to take it in to the dealer to have them figure out what the problem is. It's sitting right at the...

Is the rear camber adjustable on the terminator. That's all I want to know.

Have any of you ever heard of a stock cobra not being able to get the rear camber within spec? Mine is actually sitting at positive camber 0.1 on the left rear wheel. The right side is ok though. That seems a bit strange to me. What can be done if it really is at the end of adjustment for...

Is it normal to hear any gear noise in the terminator? I notice as I slowly accelerate, I can hear a whine that sounds like it's from the gears. It is obvious under very light load such as holding 1800rpm in 4th gear. If I let up on the gas it goes away, or if I accelerate harder it changes...

Hi, I'm the one who had my 04 Cobra repeatedly door dinged by my assigned parking neighbor. The final road here is taking them to small claims court. The current repair estimate is almost $1200, and involves repaint of both the front door, rear quarter panel, and side scoop. So that's two...

Long story short, I've received 7 dings on my 04 SVT Cobra on the passenger side, one being very large. I know who did it because we have assigned parking in my apt complex, and at work I park next to a wall on my passenger side (no other driving of this car other than that). Upon letting my...

I'm pretty much out of patience right now and getting really angry at my situation. I drive a 04 Cobra that was in pristine condition before I moved into this new complex. At the end of october, I noticed a large ding above my rear wheel well when I went to my car after parking it in my...

My lumbar support is all bulging backwards. I want to open up the seat to get to it so I can pull it back down. But I can't figure out how to open the seat. Could anyone please show me how to do so. Thanks!

Trying to deodorize my smelly AC system, anyone know where to buy Frigi-Fresh locally in Northern Cali? Barely any stores sell it online and they all have very high shipping costs. Thanks!

On my stock setup, I noticed recently that there are light grooves on the idlers. I can feel my fingernails catch a bit in the grooves, but they are pretty light marks. It's just really obvious since the idlers are black and the grooves are silver. Just wondering if this is normal or is there...

What logo do you have on your keys? My mustang GT said "ford", but my cobra keys say "stratec" which I found weird. I wonder if they lost the originals or something. I want to know if they are supposed to be anything unique like a "cobra" or "svt". Thanks!

After I run my air conditioner, when I turn it to vent mode, it smells strange. The dealer tried deodorizing the system but the smell came back pretty fast. I have a feeling it might be a clogged condensation drip tube since I've never seen any water drip from the bottom of my car when running...

I was at the San Jose Grand Prix this weekend and noticed they use 03/04 Cobra pace cars. I thought that was pretty cool considering they are no longer in production. I did some research on it and it looks like they take VIP guests on fast laps around the track...

It's been a while now that I've lived with the steering creak noise that occurs when turning the steering wheel to the right. There was no official ford fix the dealer could do before that would really fix it half a year ago. Just wondering if they finally have one now. If someone knows of...

Just wondering for you SVTOA members who attend the events, do you A. Only attend local events that you can drive to easily B. Go to events wherever they are in the country If B, how do you get your car there? I'd like to attend an event, however none have been even remotely near me...

I have some rattling coming from that plastic panel above the rear seats of the car, the one you can lean your head on if you were back there sitting. It seems the edges bounce and rub other pieces of plastic. My question is, have any of you removed that piece and know if the bolts go into a...

Do you guys have rust on all the metal pieces in the drivers footwell? The fusebox, steering shaft, metal piece on the firewall, pedal arms, just about all the metal has some rust on it. Is this normal? The rest of the car is fine afaik, however when I was down there looking for something I...

This is the second time this has happened now, first time was a few weeks ago. I started my car up, and the front right speaker started to have a loud clicking noise at a rate of about 3 per second. The click went with the volume, so if I turned the radio up it went up, if I turned it down it...

I put my gauge cluster into diagnostic mode so I could get more accurate engine temperature readings. However, after using it a few times, I notice it doesn't correlate with the analog gauge. I'll notice the diagnostics will say 84 degrees, and the gauge will be only 1/4 up. Later on, the...

Does anyone know if there are any differences between the amz1 code and the amz2? Performance, fuel economy, protection from overheating at prolonged full throttle, anything? From my research here it looks like 04's shipped with the amz1 but the latest available engine code is amz2. Is...

Everytime I look at my car, it looks like one side sits lower than the other. I know as a driver you put additional strain on the left side of the car, but the car is only 4 months old and I've actually never seen it perfectly level. Do any of your cars sit perfectly level when you park it...

I just got my svt 2005 calender, and in there they describe some parts of the cobra that are specific to the cobra. One was the side scoop inserts which is labeled "terminator" on the backside. The other was the ABS module is labeled "cobra" on it. Does that mean the cobra has a different...
