    Have a question about handheld tuners

    I own an SCTx3 handheld tuner with tunes in it for my 04 cobra. Can this unit be used on other vehicles, i.e. have the tuner load new tunes in it, or is it mated or locked to a specific vehicle once you use it? And if it is locked what is needed to unlock it? While i won't need it for the...

    Factory head unit volume knob failure

    My 04 cobra has the stock 6 disc CD head unit in it, has a mach something or other system in it. But i'm having problems with the volume control knob. Turning up the volume seems to work fine, but sometimes (more often now) when you go to reduce the volume, instead of decreasing it, turning it...

    what are differences in power gains from midpipe change or catback?

    I'm trying to find out which returns the best performance increase, adding a catback or adding the midpipes with xpipe/high flow cats. Currently my car has a a stock exhaust with welded in magnaflows. Due to the fact that i like the way it sounds, i've been thinking of adding the complete...

    removing hard water stains on paint on hood?

    I've got a few spots in the center of the hood near the rear edge that look like rain puddled and left a hard water stain. I've attempted to remove it using white vinegar which didn't do squat, neither did the cleaner polishes i've got around the house. Is there a way to get rid of the...

    GT500 > 04 SVT Cobra...why?

    I know many would interpret this question as either abused repeatedly on the site...or see the obvious hp figures and make your own guess. Lately, I've had an urge to trade in my 04 cobra for a GT500, (2009 or 2010..doesn't matter) and its recent (as in now) trip to the ford mechanic shop...

    transmission rebuild at dealership?

    Last week i took my 04 cobra in to the dealer because when you were backing up the right front wheel acted like a bearing was starting to go or the caliper was loose and not letting the wheel turn backwards. In the process of describing the problem i reiterated that ever since i'd gotten the...

    sigh...yes another pulley question...

    I'm a bit confused, i understand that the pulley is an easy and affordable swap on the terminators, but why are there so many diameters available and what is the advantage of the 2.80 over the 2.95 or 3.10. Is it a considerably higher risk to use the 2.75 instead of the 2.95 or 3? What is...

    04 cobra factory radio issue

    My 04 in dash cd changer is acting up, sometimes, when you try to adjust the volume down, the volume increases even if you turn it counterclockwise. This can be a major distraction when trying to pay attention to something...which is why i'm usually trying to turn it down to start with.. I've...

    anyone sell tailpipes from muffler to tip?

    I recently had magnaflows welded in to the factory exhaust, and while it gives the general tone i was looking for, the installer mentioned that adding tailpipes would make a difference in the overall sound. Its still a bit quiet at idle. If i was going to install tailpipes i'd prefer to...

    Is one tuner preferable over the others?

    Been doing some reading, trying to figure out if one tuner is preferable over another or not. The local shop that would likely be tuning it prefers SCT but pretty positive he does diablo tunes as well. Car is stock except a JLT ram air, shifter and welded in magnaflows. I'm considering moving...

    great, gotta get a few estimates...

    How come every accident i have is from older people than me, deciding to back up at the wrong time and place and bash my nose? Pulled into a Krystal burger joint to pick up lunch to munch on while i got a new set of rubber installed, and the moron in front of me, driving a minivan drives up to...

    change mufflers only??

    Through reading on the site, people say a catback swap doesn't add that much power on its own, not without mid lengths or long tubes or an xpipe of some sort, so if you weren't going to swap out the entire catback and just wanted to get a slightly deeper tone to the cars exhaust compared to the...

    Are Terms too stealthy?

    Something happened yesterday on the way home from work, amusing in a way but still different. At a stoplight, I had the window down and the radio up listening to talk radio, and the guy next to me says something loud enough for me to hear but couldn't make it out, so i turn down the radio and...

    A question on used car warranties

    I was looking thru a packet of papers this weekend that came with the Terminator when i first bought it, and found that when a previous owner purchased it as a Certified Ford pre-owned car, it came with the 6 year 75,000 mile warranty as part of the deal. What i want to know is: does that...

    Grrr, cobra in shop again, more clutch issues

    This is starting to get frustrating, since i've had the car over the past 2 years, the car has gone thru at least 2 clutch cables, and yesterday it sounded like the the throwout bearing went south or even the clutch or pp itself. The clutch pedal lost all pressure. The dealer says it isn't the...

    anyone sell the 3rd tail light lens?

    I'm trying to find a replacement lens for the 3rd brake light for my 04 terminator, the one that is mounted in the rear spoiler. Does anyone just sell the lens itself, and not the whole assembly? I called ford today and was told they only sell the whole assembly and it will cost 169.00 which...

    Last friday i had to put a new set of rear tires on the car, in the process was told that the right rear (passenger side) cv joint boot is torn badly and grease has leaked all over the area. Took it to the dealership, and they've agreed to replace the axle/halfshaft under warranty. The...

    K&N fipk question

    What is included in the FIPK kit? When you look at the kit, it just looks like a filter and a barrier of some sort to block out some of the heat. Is there more to it than this? Is there a flange or other part that is included? What would stop you from just buying the replacement filter...
