My cobra has been sitting in my garage for over a year now (I start it every 2 weeks or so) due to various problems and not being sure what I was going to do with it. I've come to the conclusion that I am going to keep her for a long while, so I need to find a good, trustworthy shop to work on...

I had the oil cooler "rebuilt" (new gaskets) about a month ago. I noticed a few drops of oil on my garage floor a couple of days ago. It seemed to be coming from the oil cooler . I checked the filter and was able to hand tighten it slightly. Drove it a few minutes and parked it on the wheel...

Is it a complicated process to remove the oil cooler? Can anyone give me a how-to on it? --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?afairm

I've done some reading on the topic but didn't really find an answer. When I start my cobra I get a consistent white smoke coming from both pipes. It's not a lot. If you don't pay attention you might not even notice it. Car seems to run fine, but this smoke is a new issue and wanted to know whAt...

Over the past couple of weeks I noticed that my car was leaving a few drops of oil on the ground. *I took a look and didn't see anything obvious. This morning when I backed out of my garage I noticed a small puddle of oil and took another look. It turns out that I have a pinhole in my oil filter...

So I had my egr deleted and the car ran/sounded fine for about a week. Then it started to make what sounds like an exhaust leak. The guy who worked on my car said it lost the egr plug. Now I'm throwing code P0174. Could this be related to the leak? Also, does anyone know what plug I need? I've...

My neighbor told me that he had been arrested for having a fake, ie illegally purchased, Texas state inspection sticker. He didnt go into the specifics, but I called bs cuz I've never heard of any one being arrested for a "fake" sticker. What do you guys think?

took this off my 99 about 6 months ago and went with a JLT RAI. I probably had it on my car for about 1 year. Pipe has some scuff marks from normal usage. The filter will need to be cleaned and re-oiled. *Asking $150 OBO.*

I've searched but didn't find an answer to my question.* I've recently built my engine for a procharger (d1sc) next summer. My clutch may be on it's way out. My builder suggested a centerforce stage 2 clutch, but when I started researching it I couldn't find a stage 2. *Do they go by another...

My car recently started making a ticking sound, which really worried me because I just had the bottom end built and it sounded a bit like rod knock. Anyway, i hear a very faint tick when i accelerate. I don't hear it until i get close to 3k rpms. I don't hear the sound while the car is in...

I purchased a canned tune due to the egr delete causing my car to throw a code. Installed the tune and egr code is gone but now it's throwing p1506 and has a hanging rpm problem between shifts. When I first start the car and let it idle, it idles fine. I only notice the problem between shifts...

I just got my car back today from having the block rebuilt. * It runs fine except for the fact that the speedo is off. In running 4.30 gears and i need to adjust it. I have a SCT SF3. The last time I used it was over a year ago. At that time I remember plugging it up and being able to adjust...

Do you need to drop the engine to get to the oil pump? It seems like the brand new Melling billet oil pump I bought was bad. My builder says it keeps blowing the oil filter gasket.:fm:

Just curious what the typical time frame is on an engine rebuild? Not for a guy working in his garage on the weekend but a shop with a couple of lifts n such.

I want to purchase a MGW shifter to replace my stock one. I can't decide on which one to go with. Orange handle or the new slver race handle? If you have any experience with either, let me know your thougts on the shifters.

Planning on doing the eaton swap on my 99. Just wanted to get a ball park figure on labor for installing the eaton on a stock 99 cobra.

Looking to have valve covers and cop covers powder coated. Any good shops in/around the houston/pasadena area?

I currently have a 99 Cobra with a hurt stock bottom end. What would you do?

It seems as if I've spun a bearing and I need to make a decision about which route I'm gonna take with my car. I honestly plan in keeping this car for many years. I eventually want to put on some type of powere adder. My goal is to be in the 500hp neighborhood. I'm either gonna buy a built short...

Another member suggested that I take a video of the noise my car is making and post it here. I took the video with my phone so quality is not the best. Basically what you're listening for is a knock/rattle that starts close to 3k rpm. I can only hear it when i step on the accelerator. I took...

I'm going to need a shop to rebuild my motor. I'm looking for a place that has a good reputation and fair pricing. If you know of one please post. Thanks.

Let me preface my post by saying that it appears that I have a spun bearing. I say appears because I haven't had the engine opened up yet and I do not know the extent of the damage. The spun bearing was the diagnosis of a local shop. I'm doing this as research so that I can make an informed...

Well yesterday my new tires arrived at my house so I decided to have a little fun and wear my current rears down to the threads. I did a couple of burnouts and afterwards started to hear a weird noise. It sounds like a clacking sound. I notice it once I hit 3k rpm's. It only makes the noise...

I need to install struts. I have the parts just need a shop that will install them. I normally take my car to ntb for stuff like this but they said they can no longer install outside parts. I've called a few other places and they said the same thing.
