Finally! Went to test and tune after work and finally got that 12 second time slip: 0.5252 sec RT 1.8455 sec 60' 5.4337 sec 330' 8.3400 sec 1/8 @ 85.00 mph 12.9678 sec 1/4 @ 106.13 mph :banana: WooHoo! :pepper: I finally got the knack of launching with my new solid axle...

Yesterday, I installed my raptor shift light in the morning and then installed my electric water pump in the afternoon. Overall the install was pretty easy. I had to run to the hardware store in the middle of it to get some new allen wrenches to tighten the bolts that came with the kit. The...

I am wiring up the relay for my electric water pump. I need a ignition switched 12 V source under the hood. Anyone know of a switched 12 V source under the hood that I can tap into? Please post pics, or be as specific as possible. Thanks!

I am selling my stainless steel off-road (cat-less) Bassani X-pipe. It has about 6,000 miles of use. Never driven in the snow and rarely driven in the rain. I loved the sound of this with my SLP loudmouth II catback (with my IRS). Then I did a solid axle swap and installed a Flowmaster...

3,648 lbs!!! That's with about a 1/8th of a tank of gas, me in the car and my spare, jack and tire iron in my garage (about 32 lbs). Without me, helmet, some misc. junk (183 lbs) the car is 3,465 by itself with 1/8th tank gas and no spare, jack or tire iron. So, that doesn't seem so...

I should be getting my Meziere electric water pump today, and should install it within the next week. So here are my questions: 1. I have Steeda pulleys (obviously keeping the crank and alternator pulley). What size belt do I need? Or can someone tell me the size of the stocker and/or the...

Last weekend I installed my FRPP C Springs and finally got around to taking some pics of the new ride height. Here are some before and afters: Before: After: Before: After: Before: After: Oh, and these pics are also some before and after pics for padding and covering...

Here's a link to his thread in the For Sale forum: http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=262502 Here is a full description of the intake manifold scam that he conducted, with pictures of what he said he was selling and pictures of what I was shipped: Ported and polished...

Just got back from test & tune, and got a new personal best: 60'............1.965 1/8 ET.......8.546 1/8 mph....84.11 1/4 ET......13.189 :pepper: 1/4 mph...106.15 I've got a ported and polished intake manifold on the way, and a MGW shifter and raptor shift light in a pile waiting to...

Went to the track today for test and tune and got a new personal best: 13.220 @ 104.87. Best part was the vast improvement in my 60 foot, I got a 1.90... :pepper: I wasn't even being all that harsh with the launch. With some lower tire pressure and some better burnouts to warm them up, I...

Well, I finally "finished" my roll bar installation. This week I bought some padding from Jegs, and some Roll Bar Rapz from Summit Racing which are neoprene covers. It looks sooo much better and is sooo much safer in case I actually put somone in the back seat. It no longer has that skinny...

I finally got all of my tires and rims, and had the tires mounted this morning. The combo is 17x9 up front with Nitto NT555 275, and 17x10.5 out back with Nitto NT555R 315s drag radials. So, finally here are some before and after pics. Enjoy... Here's a comparison of my original rear...

Well, I have received almost everything that I got myself for my birthday (bah, who am I kidding, it was just an excuse to buy stuff). The only thing I am still waiting on is my shorty X-pipe so that I can install the long-tubes. Here are some pics of my 17x9" fronts, 17x10.5" rear black...

Hey, I am starting to look into what rims and tires I want to get soon. I am looking at getting some all black 03 Cobra style rims, 17x9" in the front, and 17x10.5" in the back. I'm looking at getting 315 Nitto drag radials in the back. So here's the question... I know with the big...

What is the material of the OEM exhaust gaskets? Is it a metal base? Layered metal base? Reusable? The reason I ask is that I just got my long-tube headers and the gaskets that came with them are just regular cheap paper-based flexble gaskets. I only want to go through this once and don't...

Has anybody who has a solid axle rear end installed a panhard bar? They are supposed to really firm up the handling and "wiggly" nature of a solid axle in extreme cornering and slalom-style turning, but I haven't read that many reviews from people that have actually installed them.

Well, I'm right in the middle of it now. I am swapping with a local guy who has a 97 Cobra. So far, I have pulled out my IRS and we should swap parts this Sunday. Then, my brother and I will be putting the solid in during the evenings next week. Enjoy the pics so far...

So I have a 99 Cobra convertible, and will soon be swapping rear ends with a local guy that has a 97 Cobra. I've done a lot of searching on this, but still have a couple questions. I placed this thread in this forum because I figure more people with Terminators have done IRS to solid axle...

Hey, I might have an opportunity to do a rear end swap with a local guy with a 97 Cobra hard top, and I have a 99 Cobra vert. So, I wanted to check here about the compatibility before I decide... Springs: Don't the verts and the hard tops have different spring rates? Would my ride and...

So, eventually I would like to get 4.30 gears and some drag radials for the track. I know that the halfshafts of 1999 Cobras are the weak point, and are prone to snapping with aggressive gears, sticky tires, and aggressive launching and shifting. Having my car towed home from the track is not...

Just as the title asks, are 99/01 Cobra lower intake manifolds the same as the 03/04 Mach 1 intake manifolds?

So, I have been doing a little homework trying to figure out if I want to get 4.10s or 4.30s. One thing that I did to help me decide was to graph the actual torque to the wheels (dyno WTQ x gear ratio x diff. gear ratio). For the dyno WTQ numbers I used this graph that I found for a stock 1999...
