Just wondering if anyone has ever seen a setup that allowed for simple and fast removals of the front bumper? The rake of my car makes it somewhat difficult to get a jack under the front of the car and sometimes I don't have something to drive it up on. I'm sure guys with twin turbo setups...

Long story short: On a whim two years ago, I ran across a killer deal here in Anchorage. 2002 Lightning, bone stock with exception of sound system, 48k miles. Always garaged. Could small scratches here and there, drilled holes in the front bumper, curb rash on a couple wheels, but overall the...

Hey all, Just finished putting my redfire Cobra back together after two years. I bought it with a lot of mods and a busted engine. Feels great to finally have it going. Still working some kinks out, though. While on a test drive yesterday, I noticed that from a stop, as I try to get the car...

Bought it and have not installed it. Cleaning out garage. Asking 300 shipped to the lower 48, I live in Alaska.

With 1.8 60s, my left side tire seems to move about 4 inches on the rim, per launch.:mj: Running about 16 to 17 psi, getting 1.8 60s with a SAS. Can't seem to launch higher than 2900 rpm, or the just lights 1st gear up big time. Should I be slipping the clutch a bit? Cannot seem to find the...

Bought the car about a year ago and have hardly put any miles on it due to my work schedule and our short Alaska summers. I did an oil change at the beginning of the summer and found there to be a slit hint of metal in the oil so I sent it out to be tested and this is what I got back. They don't...

Managed to get my Cobra dynoed a little while ago and finally got some answers as to where she stands since I bought her. Wound up with 575 rwhp and 539rwtq, the car was putting down another 10rwhp per run, and I was told that this was most likely due to the fact that I had not put the...

Somehow, with my UPR Kmember and off set steering rack bushing, I managed to break my factory oil pressure switch and sprung a small leak. The car has an Autometer oil pressure gauge installed, so the factory oil pressure switch is located in the position aiming straight down. Is there any...

Just curious as to what my procedure should be in between runs at the track? I live in Alaska and it is rarely above 80 degrees at the track but on a long sunny day, it can be higher than that. So far I have been typically allowing 20 to 30 minutes between runs, but I haven't been doing anything...

Hey everyone! I bought my car mostly modified as it is and that leaves me with several questions about planning on repair work. I have a dyno scheduled for the car at the end of the month. I've noticed some odds sounds of out my fuel pumps recently so out of precaution I went ahead and...

I followed these instructions: 1) install TB and plenum 2) rotate the TPS CW(opposite throttle movement) then snug the screws 3) plug IAC in (DO NOT SCREW IT ON, LEAVE IT OFF) 4) duct tape over the IAC holes on the plenum 5) have someone start the car(DO NOT TOUCH THE GAS PEDAL) if it...

I have read several threads and diagrams on this but I just want to make ABSOLUTELY sure about what I am doing. Please forgive the repetiveness of the subject. I picked up my car with most of the most already done to it including the trunk mounted battery. From what I can tell the battery is...

Install a UPR k member this weekend and found that one of my tubular a arms is missing a bushing all together. Where can I order replacements? The MM ones look close on their website but I know they won't verify if they would work on UPR a arms. Anyone had to replace these before? The car...

Helped a friend put together this Camaro so I didn't get any good chance to dial the Cobra in before bringing her out of storage. Changed the oil, gave her a bath and off we went. Did not do as well as I hoped but I have a couple more weekend to practice this summer. 3rd pass into the day the...

Just got my Cobra out of storage and am hoping to tackle a couple of the issues that bothered me last summer such as the horrible blank spot in the steering and the misalignment of the front wheels. I'm also going to be rolling my rear fenders slightly as I caught a rear tire last summer and...

Just pulled my Cobra out of storage and after enjoying a nice weekend of cruising and some time at the track, I noticed that I have a small oil leak right where the Whipple mounts to the engine at the rear of the motor. I bought the car as is, so I am a little nervous to go tearing into the...

Just ordered a 8 point cage (weld in) and am wondering what all will need to be done to install this. I'm assuming that I need to remove the front and rear seats, carpet, and maybe some of the interior panels as well? I will not be changing seats or belts right now as my budget only allows...

Tried doing a bit of research on the subject and looks like I could have several suspects. Sometimes the car will idle around 1500 to 1700 rpm but if I turn on the defrost/ac the car comes down to a 900 rpm idle. Looks like single blade Accufabs are known to have this issue, any fixes...

Hey all, If any of you skilled people are interested in making a sig, I would greatly appreciate it. I've only have my Cobra out one day and the photos aren't great, so if it doesn't really work, I understand too. :D And this one because it catches the guy wanting to...

Hopefully my title got your attention as this is my basic situation. I just picked up my 03 Cobra with a variety of mods, 2.3 Whipple, built SB, built T56, SRA, drag setup. Car runs great but the longer I own it the more little things I find that I want to have double checked. In this case, I...

Enjoying my new to me Cobra but I feel like the brakes are not really up to par. This is only scary when you compare my daily driver is a F250 Crew Cab. I realize there are some nice big brake kits but I'm considering a cheaper pad/rotor kit right now as I have maybe 1 or 2 months left driving...

Have had my Cobra for about 2 months and the other day while coming home from work the car starting making that awful fluttering sound of an exhaust leak. It appears to be right at the head and my research on the forums indicates this is a common problem among those going with aftermarket...

First time out in my "new to me" 03 Cobra. 2.3 Whipple, built SB, SRA, street tires. I have TONS to improve on but I was told that if I ran faster than 11.5 I would need to get a cage, so I wasn't exactly in a rush to go find DRs. I really enjoyed driving the car as I had not drag raced since my...

Hey all!!! It is with GREAT joy that I introduce myself here to announce I finally got the car of my dreams. It has been about 5 years since I last drove my 01 GT before moving to Alaska. I started in on a hunt for a 09 WRX and a week later bought the car of my wildest dreams. I can still...
