So several months ago the cobra started making some noise when i pushed in the clutch. the sound was worst when the weather was cold so i drove it thru the summer. well, today the noise became unbearable, defintely metal on metal sound when i push in the clutch. i am guessing that the throw out...

ok, so the compressor is not kicking in. The system has freon. So i have read of ppl jumping the low switch, the high switch and disconnecting the coolant temp sensor to determine if the compressor will kick on. Can some provide pictures of where the switches and sensors are located?

So my fuel pump is not working correctly and i need to get a replacement. The Cobra is close to stock so I am looking for a pump that is as close to OEM as possible with reliability being the top priority. As I have found using the search, the 98 cobra is unique in its fuel system. Has anyone...

what is the easiest way to test if the fuel pump is getting power when the key ignition is on?

Ok, so this has happened to my 98 Cobra (100,000 mi) twice in the week. After running for some period of time, about 25-30 min, the car just dies. Immediately trying to restart it does not work, the engine turns over but seems to be starving for gas. I tried disconnecting the battery for 5 min...

I am looking to replace the wires in my 98 cobra (along with the plugs) and i would like to know if anyone knows where i can buy stock OEM wires on the internet? I am only interested in buying the stock OEM wires, not aftermarket.

On Monday I tried to start the Cobra to go to work. It wouldn't start. I can hear the fuel pump prime itself, and it appears the starter motor is working. It's just the engine will not start. I am guessing either the starter is not turning the motor fast enough, the engine is not getting fuel...

so i called a local shop to find how much it would cost to install c/c plates, ball joints and front/rear struts/springs. the quoted me $780 for labor which seems high. well more than i am willing to pay. ;-) if i can find detailed instructions, i might try the install myself. does anyone...

So i got some C/C plates that i want to put onto my daily driver Cobra (85K miles). I am planning to get Ford B springs as well (anyone with pics?). I am thinking I should replace the ball joints and struts while I am at it. What do you suggest for the struts that are close to stock that...

I'm going to lower my cobra and the alignment guy I spoke to suggested i get c/c plates. I understand they might not be required but if it allows a better alignment, i think it's probably worth getting to not ruin a set of tires. I don't do any road racing so i am looking at c/c plates that will...

before you flame me, i did a search and got conflicting information so i figure to directly ask the question with 1" wheel spacers, do the studs need to be grind so the stock 98' rims fit flush?

ok, i detailed the inside of the car and the dashboard, console, door panels, ect all look very black. unfortunately my black leather seats don't look as black. more of a light black with a grey look to them. is there any product that someone knows that will restore or bring out the black...

i notice that my front bumper is missing two fasteners that are near the inside corner of each headlight under the hood. What type of fastener is needed? Pics welcomed.

I am not a tall guy, actually average in height at 5'10". What i don't understand is that my seat is as far back as it can possibly go. Now for me, this is a comfortable distance. What i want to know, how do the guys/gals over 6' deal with this or is my seat messed up?

anyone use these? pros and cons with them? how's the quality?

Ok, so it seems the MM 4 bolt cc is the consensus of the forum but i don't have $200 for the set and i think the kit is over kill for my car. I'm looking to lower my car and have the ability for the alignment shop to set everything right. i will not go to coilovers. I'm hoping to get a cc kit...

ok, so i am thinking of getting a set of wheel spacers. i wanted to get bigger rims/tires but my budget is not going to allow it. it appears MM, HR, Eibach sell spacers for about $150-180. I saw these on ebay. anyone purchase them and if so, what did you think? how do they compare to MM, HR...

anyone have pics with 17" saleens?

i just noticed that the fog light doesn't quite match up with the bumber. it needs to come down a bit. do the fog lights adjust up and down?

what do you guys use to clean your tailpipes?

I have seen a couple of cobra's with the cobra letter down the side just under the doors. is that usually a decal or actual paint job? i also have seen the cobra in the back bumber painted a different color to make it stand out. if someone has a black cobra with the cobra in the bumber in...

i went to the track sunday and got several passes in. the best i could do was low 14's with 99/100 mph. i just couldn't get traction. question, it seems i get better traction on the street than i do on the track. do other have the same results? if i got bigger tires in the rear, like 290's or...

Ok, when i bought the car the previous owner said it had Steeda pullies. Is there any easy way to tell? What are the diameter of each pulley? I'll be suprised if they are because they seem to have a bit of rust which i need to clean up.

Ok, so i bought what i think is a front o2 sensor. the plug at the end is blue. I saw a picture of front and rear o2 sensor where the fronts had green plugs and the rears had blue. so could the store have given me a back o2 sensor? is there another way of determing if i have the rear or front?
