A few years back I put an X-pipe on my 94 Pace Car and it makes the car sound like it should have done from the factory. I want to do the same to the 95R. As I am in the UK, I dont want to gamble with a part that may be a poor fit. For those of you who have fitted one, which did you choose. I...

I attended the Ford UK 60th Birthday event yesterday, and its the first time the 95R has been on the road for 4 years, and despite washing it twice, I spotted an issue when I got back with the fibreglass hood that cleaning products are not having any impact. It's hard to actually take a good...

My car is finally in the workshop getting the fuel tank replaced and my mechanic has found a major issue. None of the holes to accommodate the sender or pump are correct. All the holes on the top are oversized and not tapped. The fuel filler holes on the side of the tank are correct. The sender...

I finally got to speak to Glenn again last night, he is such a nice guy to speak to on the phone. My tank had been ready for a long time, he had been waiting for me to call him. I was just about to arrange shipping from the UK to pick up from the US as it appears to be cheaper to do this, and I...

Hi, It's been a long time since I last posted here, I still own 95R No61, and it does not get driven much. Over the last 6 months, I have noticed a strong smell of fuel, and it has got worse, there is now also what appears to be a small spot of fuel under the car, near the entry to the fuel...

I need to troubleshoot a CEL, and while I wait for the Code reader to travel over the pond, I need to check the coolant level. I did not get one with my 95R, which I recall was not that uncommon. I also recall it had some specific instructions about the coolant level when I read the contents...

Hi I still own car #61, having owned it since 2002. It does not get driven very much, and while driving it to a RHD Mustang launch event in my home town in Reading, UK, it threw a CEL. The CEL comes on after a few minutes and does not flash. Once the engine is switched off and back on, the...

I was wondering if there is between us all a huge amount of data about the Cobra R programmes that current and future owners would appreciate sight of. I have been given production line photos taken by a friend who I recently met, who was actually there when the 95Rs were built. In the pack...

I know this is not on my R, but this is the only forum I check and I trust you guys for some good advice ! My Pace Car power seat does not operate upwards without a nasty noise. We took the motor apart to find that the large metal screw/rod that has a plastic cog on the end of it, has broken a...

We had a free Dyno day, and for a laught I took the 95R. It came back at 270 hp at the flywheel. Does this sound normal for a 95R ? I did try a search here, thinking I saw some Dyno threads from many years ago, but could n't find anything suitable. Mark

Both my SN95 Batteries are dying, and the 95R has a 6 year old battery that needs replacing. Unfortunately here in the UK I cannot get hold of a Motorcraft one with the terminals in the correct location. What does a Ford Mustang battery cost in the US these days ? I've been quouted £110...

Some of you may know I help organise shows for the Mustang Owners Club of Great Britain. We had a message that the new 07 Shelby GT500 might be turning up on the Roush stand...... More at : http://www.mocgb.net/Photos/_GT500/index.html I know this is technically not the right...

There has been a 40th Anniversary Mustang game release recently for Xbox and PS2. Included in the game is a 95R and 2000R. The vehicle they used for this was mine, along with a number of other Mustang Owners Club of Great Britain owners cars. (www.mocgb.net) For more details ...

Some of you may recall I had a passenger sife front tire corded on the inside edge, the tread was perfect, but the tire failed it's annual safety inspection here in the UK. I replaced it with another NOS I found on ebay, and am concerned about how long it lasts. We got a laser 4 wheel...

My Passenger front tyre (not tire!) is showing signs that the camber is not right for British roads. Can someone post the facotry specifications, so that I can get it adjusted correctly. I could also do with knowing the specs for a 94 Cobra, as that could do with being adjusted too...

There is my 95R on track, so not completely off topic. Though you might like to see the range of cars we have in the UK. Mark http://www.mocgb.co.uk/Photos/_UKPonyPartyTrack/index.html

The R and Pace car are due their first Oil change in the UK, and I'd like some advice on oil weights people use. I don't do many miles, so fully synthetic is not a cost effective option. I'd be interested to hear what oils you would use in a 5.8 and 5.0. Thanks Mark

Happy Birthday Dean, It appears we share the same Birthday. I hope you had a good day. Regards Mark

This question is a little off topic, but I need to tap into the expertise here. I have recently obtained a huge amount of Ford parts, mainly I believe F150 Lightning parts. About 12 front and rear rotors, brake pads and shoes, flywheels, clutch ? and Air Filters. Includes a new complete...

Look at this CNN list. I live in Reading, UK. Where we ahave almost the highest Gas prices in the world. http://money.cnn.com/pf/features/lists/global_gasprices/price.html These figures ARE understated,as I paid the US Equivalent of $6.97 yesterday to fill up the Cobra R. It cost me...

I have a small coolant leak occurring, and I suspect it's coming from the thermostat housing area. Hopefully, it's something simple like the gasket. Anyone else had this ? If so, what did you have to replace ? Also, is the gasket a regular 5.0 one ? It's much harder for me to...

Forgot to mention this a while back, but the photo shoot Mustang Enthusiast did back in December here in the UK is in the June issue. So if you want to see a few very wet looking Mustangs, including my 95R, then it's in the June issue. Mark

Is there anywhere I can get 'R' apparel ? I have a quote from a merchandiser to custom make me some, particularly Caps and Polo Shirts. The prices appear quite reasonable. However, if there is an existing source I'd like to use existing products. Mark

Took the car out for it's annual inspection on Thursday, and had some knocking noises from the front springs. Some WD40 type spray has quitened them down a touch. Anyone else had this ? Anyone fitted coil isolators, and if so, what type and brand ? Thanks Mark P.S Need an urgent...

I'm reading a late model Mustang book by Matt Stone, and it talks about the HP for the 95 R being under rated. I've not heard this before and would be interested if anyone had dyno'd their car in it's stock trim. If you can upload a chart that would be cool. The car is off the road for...
