I recently traded my 03 Cobra for a new ('12) GT500. I see it comes from factory with syn oil. I'm from the old school and have always used dino oil to break in any other new autos I've owned. Never had any issues. Is it OK to continue forth with synthetic on these engines? Has anyone switched...
My driver side rear power window has quit working on my vert. I guess it must be the motor since I can hear a faint click back there when I hit the switch. How difficult is it to replace the motor? Is there a write up or has anyone tackled that job? Any help or suggestions would be greatly...

Can anyone give me some info on the Ford windstop for a vert?...Like type of material it is made from and how it is installed (drilling required?). Also, is it a quality piece of equipment?
I'm getting ready to do some underneath work on my Cobra that will require good stable support...where is the best place to set a jack stand for both front and rear? This is for a vert, if the subframe connectors make a difference.
Thanks.
Can someone help me.......Will 12mm factory Ford wheels fit on 14mm studs. This may seem silly, but I've seen conflicting info. Someone said you must drill the stud hole out, while another said he has put 12mm hole wheels ('99 style)on his newer L (14mm), a tight fit, but no drilling was...
My radiator sprung a leak the other day and had to be replaced. Upon popping the hood after the repair, I noticed the new coolant was orange, not the OEM yellow. Since I was 100 miles from home and it was after hours (no service people around), I went ahead and brought the car home...should I be...

I balanced and rotated my tires at 5k miles. Right after that the car pulled to the right big time....could feel it trying to take to the shoulder while holding the wheel, and if I let up on my grip, the wheel immediately jerked to the right..really had to fight it. Rotated per instructions...
I have decided to spruce up the interior of the Cobra a bit and one of the items is the UPR Stainless Steel A/C panel insert. It's installation will require that the plastic trim that surrounds the vents, radio, a/c controls be removed....not sure how to do this. Has anyone pulled this trim...
There has been a lot of discussion on this subject here lately and varied opinions on the two options. The fender system offers cooler intake charge at the expense of a smaller filter and extended distance from filter to MAF......with the underhood open system just opposite, SO, does it make...
