I'm trying to see if I can locate my old 03 Cobra. I ordered the car from Tropical Ford in Orlando, FL in May of 2002. The car came in on June 24th of 2002 and I picked it up. I didn't allow them to do anything to the car other than offload it. I brought it home and detailed it myself. While...
I'm thinking of buying a 2014 Shelby GT500 and see many advertised, but in a lot of cases, the dealer doesn't have the window sticker and knows even less about the cars options than most people. There is one advertised as grabber blue when in reality it is deep impact blue. That's how dense some...
I have a 2012 GT with 3:73 gears and am considering the expense of a cold air intake to bring the HP and torque numbers up from stock. I looked at several different brands, some of which came with tunes. Then I got to thinking about possibly changing the stock intake for a Boss 302 intake. But...
I bought a new 2012 Mustang GT premium package with 6 speed and the 3.73 gears. A friend has the same car, only auto. and standard gears, but different color. When I was looking at his engine comparment, I noticed he had a shock tower bracket installed that was great looking with "Mustang GT" on...
OK guys, I just bought this car new and got a great deal on it. It already has the 3.73 rear end. With that said, I want to find out from all you guys - that have already been modding these coyote motors - to find out which mods will give me the best bang for the buck. Any suggestions are...
I just bought a 2012 GT Premium with the GT coupe accessory package 5 that has the hood scoop, decklid panel, side scoops, pedestal rear spoiler and quarter window louvers. I got it home and was just checking it all out and noticed the glass on the rear quarter windows was a little dirty from...
I have a 96 GT with about 150K on the engine. Never been into it. Runs great except right now it needs new plugs and wires and possibly a new pair of coil packs. My goal is to increase the total spark to the plug so it burns cleaner/hotter/more fuel efficient. If I were to install a pair of MSD...
I have a set of the original satin colored rims that came with my 03 Cobra when I first bought the car. This was when the chrome rims were not yet available. When they were available, I got the chrome rims and put them on the Cobra and boxed up these satin rims. I want to mount them on my 96 GT...
I just replaced my 96 GT factory hood with a fiberglass Cobra R hood. The factory hood had a ground strap attached that I assume was to help the radio reduce static, specifically on AM radio. I listen to AM talk radio a lot while in the car and the static is driving me crazy. It's not just...
I am thinking of buying a cowl induction hood and started to wonder if it would be a noisier ride without the insulation under there like the factory hood. How about it, any people with a cowl induction hood or those that decided against it that can give me some advise on noise or any other...
I am considering the purchase of an HO Fibertrends Cobra R inch and a half cowl induction hood. I know it will look good. My question is will it make it louder inside the car since there is no insulation on it like the factory hood and it is raised with the gap in the back close to the...
I have a 96 GT that I have to change out both headlamp assemblies. They still look good but the collar on the back where the knurled nut secures the bulbs is cracked and that will eventually will allow water in. I have never done more than just change the bulbs in the past and was wondering if...
Well guys, I have finally decided to sell the car. I have enjoyed owning it immensely, but in reality, it does more time sitting in my garage, than it does on the road, and it really should be driven to be totally enjoyed. To be honest, I just don't have the time. I have several other vehicles I...
I need some help here guys. I bought my Terminator new in June of 02. It is car number 568 of the 8394 cars made. As it sits, it has a total of 2198 miles on it. It's a sonic blue coupe. I have entered it in several shows over the years and always took first place in my class. I have every bit...
I have a 96 Mustang GT with a K&N Filtercharger kit and Flowmasters. Other than that it is stock. The car has approx. 125K miles on it. It goes through regular maintenance by myself, for the most part. It has been to Ford due to bad tranny and had to be replaced a few years ago. The car has been...
Hey guys, I have a question and need some help here. I have a 96 GT that is in excellent condition..............or at least was. Today, I noticed something at the base of my spolier on the trunk lid. At first, I thought something had gotten on it and I just needed to clean it off. But as I got...
I have a distinct whine in the rearend now after the car runs for about 50 miles. Is this something that is normal or are they suppose to be quiet all the time like my 96 GT for example ? Mine was one of those cars that had the vibration around 80 mph when it was new and one of the things they...
When these forums first started, there was a guy on here (can't remember his screen name) that really knew his stuff about oils. He recommended some specific synthetic oils for our motors. There was a lot of debate on which ones were the best at the time. I tried a search to find some of those...
I have two questions. First, does anyone know who is selling the chrome plated blower pulley covers that have the shape of the Cobra cut into it so it still provides cooling ? Second, do these covers have any impact on the smaller diameter pullies ? I wouldn't normally think so, but you never...
Ok, I've sat on my ass too long and read about too many people having fun with these cars. My original plan was to lightly mod the Cobra when I bought it and I have stayed true to my plan. So far the car has been used primarily for car shows (I know, give me a break) and done real well...
I am contemplating the purchase of either an Accufab or Billetflow throttle body with plenum and the Bassani mid length headers. I already have the Bassani X-pipes and hi-flow cats and catback exhaust installed. For those of you out there that have done this, are there any modifications that...
I'm going to be buying a trailer to haul the Cobra and was wondering where are the best 4 points on the car to attach to. The trailer will have 4 D-rings in the floor to attach it to the trailer. Also, what are the best tie downs to use...cable/hooks with come along, etc. ? Thanks for the advise...
Have any of you guys looked at your front bumber real closely ? I ask because I checked mine out yesterday after about a 100 mile drive and when I got home, I noticed little chips everywhere. It seems the car is a "chip magnet", not "chick magnet". Even the rear spoiler has a couple of little...
Youv'e all heard that you can never get something for nothing. Well, the funniest thing just happened to me. Back around Easter, I was going to enter my 03 Cobra in a carshow in a city about 40 miles away. Unfortunately, my day sucked root and I was never able to enter the thing as by the time...
