Finally burned through the tires that came with my rims (maybe 5,000 - 6,000 miles, and that took me 3 years). Been looking forward to upgrading to a drag radial; I can definitely use the traction.
My two choices are Mickey Thompson ET Street or Nitto NT555R drag radials. The cost difference...
I threw a new code today, P0442 - "leak in evaporative system". I also threw code P1000 - "did not complete drive cycle", but that makes sense with this issue.
What could be some of the causes for this code? This weekend, I did hit the nitrous a couple of times, from 4th gear high rpm on the...
I am finally considering the upgrade to long tube headers this year. I would like to keep my Flowmaster cat-back, as I really enjoy the deep, muscle car sound of the Flowmaster with an O/R h-pipe. What brand of long-tubes would you recommend? I know BBK has long tubes with a short H-pipe, but I...
I was switching from my Nitrous tuine back to my all around town tune, and all of a sudden, said "program failed". I tried loading back to the Nitrous tune, and it failed, and then I could not even start the car. So, I returned the car to "Stock", drove around a bit, and then loaded the Nitrous...
Throwing 2 codes, as follows:
P0430 (bank 2 catalyst)
P0442
What does code P0442 indicate? I haev no cats, and to myknowledge, the tuner turned off the O2 sensors and the O2 sensor heaters. Also, these codes just showed up, and I have not had car retuned in a couple months. What gives...
Have offer to purchase a 2000 Cobra R in the not too distant future. I would greatly appreciate a rundown of the specs, pros / cons, etc... of this vehicle, which I am totally in love with, of course. Please, comment of power, suspension, maintenance issues, etc..., anything that would be...
This detail process is based upon research in this forum, and appears to be used by multiple members. All products applied using specified color pad w/ Porter Cable 7424. This is my first time using a Porter Cable polisher, and I'm excited, heard great things. Here goes:
1. Wash car (have not...
I use a California car duster (gently) to remove dust, but that damn thing always leaves some streaks / smudges. I then end touching up the whole car with a light spray wax. I do not drive car in the rain, and hence, like to avoid washing as much as possible.
I there a dust removal product...
Lately, I have noticed my cooling fan kicking on and staying on more often, even when it is 70 degrees and cool air outside. I was recently at dyno and adjusting tune with my Xcal 2, but I (and I assume the tuner) did not make any changes to the cooling fan.
What are preferred settings for...
What would be ideal A/F curve for nitrous throughout the rpm range? After the initial lean spike, how shold the A/F ration develop throughout the power band? Thanks.
"Service engine soon" light is on, read OBD with Xcal 2, generating the following codes:
P0420
P1000
Please provide tech support and experiences with these codes / common reeasons for throwing these codes. Thank you very much for you assistance.
What power / torque gains have you seen from headers, specifically bassani mid length headers? I have an opportunity to but set of bassani midlengths with o/r x-pipe for $800, brand new. Guy bought 99-01 Cobra headers for a Mercury Marauder and they don't fit, and he will sell package for $800...
The front O2 sensor has four wires, 2 white, one grey, and one black. Which wire is responsible for measuring the voltage for A/F meaurement? I'm hooking up stoich gauge, and need reliable information. One fellow SVT performance member indicated black (as hsi best guess), and I plan on starting...
Finally got rid of the marbly, raspy BBK O/R x-pipe, and installed a Pacesetter O/R h-pipe. Wow!!! With these 2 chamber Flow Masters, this sound is awesome. I totally love the sound of O/R h-pipe with these flowmasters, really deep and powerful sound!!!!
Hooking up Stoich gauge, running wire to the front driver side O2 sensor. The sensor has 4 wires, 2 white, 1 black, 1 grey. Which wire measurer the A/F ratio (which wire should I tap into from the stoich gauge)? Thank you very much!!!!
where can we order stronger half shafts for our cobras? which half shafts would you recommend? please share personal experiences with upgrading half shafts as well. Thanks.
Been practicing with a G-tech device, and so far, my best 60ft has been a 2.20. I tried launching at 3,000 rpms, and spinning like crazy. Launch from an idle, and wheel hop the car to death.
I had an unmodified IRS. I have not yet sprayed in 1st gear, probably too much for the rear end to...

Well, I've climbed the mod ladder pretty well so far, and now I need some ideas. My next set of mods I'm installing here are as follows:
- O/R H-pipe (X-pipe is really annoying with the raspy marble sound)
- 2 pod gauge cluster, Autometer Stoich and Nitrous pressure gauges.
Now, and far...
Running a 125 shot, see mods in sig. So, in your opinions, what are the potential hazards / issues of sprayng a 125 shot of N2O? Essentially, what are the things to "watch out for" when spraying N2O, as far as mechanical engine maintenance.
Also, for those who have had their your N2O system...

Just came across this product, and wow, the paint swirls have gone bye bye. I have used many products (however, not yet used Zaino or Porboys) by hand or buffer. The other waxes with buffer really polish the surface well, but man, the look of this car with the 3M hand glaze is remarkable. Very...
Finally got some pics (and dyno numbers)
See mods in sig. Gt some pics this evening, it was close to dusk, so not the best shots of the paint / wax job. Also, have not detailed the engine bay yet this year (just got car out of storage 3 weeks ago and still not warm enough for engine bay...
