    1997 Pacific Green Cobra w/IRS and low miles

    Nothing that shipping couldn't fix. I'd be happy to supply any pictures or video of the car requested and work with any shipping company that you arrange. But I also understand the desire to see cars in person before taking that plunge.

    1997 Pacific Green Cobra w/IRS and low miles

    I'm selling my 1997 Mustang Cobra. It has a 4.6L DOHC V8 and 5 speed manual transmission. This is a car for the enthusiast, not one for someone looking for some cheap fun. This is very well taken care of Cobra with low miles (76k) and a lot of tasteful and purposeful modifications. I've...

    WTB 96-98 modded Cobra

    I've got a really nice Pacific Green Cobra I'm looking to part with. Excellent condition, 76k miles, mildly modded (suspension/IRS/full exhaust/wheels/tires). No supercharger, but for my price, you'll have plenty left over to buy one. $8,500 firm. 1997 Pacific Green Cobra build

    WTB Coupe in the WA/OR area

    Yes, in Kansas. Shipping is always an option if you strike out elsewhere. Finding these cars clean is becoming very difficult. I actually had this one shipped to me because all of the local ones were in bad shape. Here's my build thread. I started with a bone stock car and did some (mostly)...

    98 Cobra Long Tubes and Motor Mount Install

    Another note, if I were to do it over, I would plan on deleting the SAI as well. Those connections on the front of the manifolds/headers is not fun.

    98 Cobra Long Tubes and Motor Mount Install

    I did shorties and motor mounts without dropping the K (stock K member). I will never do that again without dropping the K. And that was with FRPP shorties. I'm sure long tubes would be even worse.

    1998 Cobra will not start after first try. Always starts on second try

    Definitely try this. The idea is that after it sits, the pressure bleeds down and on first crank, it doesn't build enough during the first prime to start. Priming it multiple times to get adequate pressure then starting shows that the fuel pump is on its way out.

    Miles on your car

    72k here. Original engine. Functioning IMRC. I usually change the oil mid season and before winter storage, so realistically it gets about 2500 miles max per oil change. Original trans and clutch as well. Just recently swapped to IRS, so the rear diff isn't original to the car.

    What motor mounts you running?

    I have prothane. They caused a vibration for a few months. They softened up after a while. Better now.

    IRS SN95 18x11" 20mm..Fitment??

    What’s the offset? I have 17x10.5 Forgestars on my 97 w/IRS. Tires are 285/40. They’re +31 and I had to run a small spacer to clear the bracket bolt. Have plenty of clearance to the quarter panel though.

    LCA Parking brake bracket bolt size

    In case anyone is interested in this, it’s M6x1.0. I used 25mm length.

    LCA Parking brake bracket bolt size

    I swapped an IRS into my 97 and the IRS I bought did not have these brackets/bolts. Can anyone tell me what size the bolt is? Here's a picture. It's the bolt next to the spring cup. I need to do something as my parking brake cable is hitting the coil spring and making some noise. Only other...

    Valve Stem (heads) Issue?

    Rings, are your piston rings. When they're worn, you're in for a rebuild. Excessive oil in your catch can will further reinforce this. If your rings are worn, you'll have more blow-by which will induce pressure into your crank case. I'd do a leak down test to assess the health of your...

    Valve Stem (heads) Issue?

    Valve stem seals are usually a cold start puff. I've always been under the impression oil smoke on hard acceleration is ring wear. Now, if it's black smoke, which would indicate a rich condition, valve stem seals and ring wear aren't at all what you need to start looking at.

    98 cobra price. WHat would you offer

    I may be in the minority here (since I know a lot of people think SN's are cheaper than dirt), but I'd be asking $15k+ if it were mine. Recaro's, griggs SLA, intercooled Vortech, built trans and rear, and low mileage. Those are all major items. That car is a forged short block away from being...

    header gasket install question

    I installed FRPP shorties on mine without dropping the K-member. I don't wish that hell on anyone. Just drop the K. I wish I would have.

    IRS Swap ABS sensor question

    Price? I’m afraid it would probably cost more at the dealer to run a scan than it would be to just replace them.
