    Factory fan temp settings

    Been a while since my 03 Terminator has been on the road. Cooling fan cracked first trip this spring and the car saw 210 degrees. Replaced the fan using the old resistor (new resistor was broken during shipping). Since it's been years since the car has been on the road, I'm unsure of operating...

    Overheating - fan only works with AC on.

    Diagnosing an overheating issue. So far confirmed intercooler pump works and fan works with AC on. However it still overheats with AC on. Someone suggested i test continuity for the resistor switch found under the intercooler resevoir. Its reading .3ohms only. The spec I seem to find is either...

    Inconsistent shift smoothness/varying clutch pedal force

    Took my 03 out of storage and have confirmed I am having some shifting/pedal issues. I thought maybe it was the MGW handle angle & mmr firewall adjuster needing more tweaking, but I can't find a sweet spot for either and I'm beginning to think it is the clutch. Upon further research this past...

    WTB: Clutch cable - in a jam!

    I am located in Western Mass. I snapped my 3rd clutch cable with my shitty Steeda setup & ordered a new MM setup. However my Cobra is stuck in my nightmare driveway and I need to move the car before July 6th when my MM setup arrives. I'm looking for a used stock clutch cable for cheap. Any...

    Car has a McLeod clutch...and I have bad knees. I just installed a new clutch cable after the original snapped. It's now butter smooth and operates 100 better. Also have a triple hook quadrant set to the 2nd hook with a firewall adjuster. The clutch is still heavy and it's tweaking the...

    window & door rattles

    I have the annoying driver side door rattle with bumps and the window also rattles a fair amount. The door is rattling on the striker, should there be a rubber coating on the striker? My 04 GTO has them on both jambs and those doors do not rattle, even after I was in a heavy accident that...

    steering wheel shake

    Have an ugly steering wheel shake. I can't feel it else where in the car and no passengers have ever felt it. You can see the wheel start shaking side to side, not fast - but a steady shake at about 40mph, it eases up around 45-50, goes away and comes back around 70-80. I thought it was the...

    Just traded Borla Stingers for Magnaflows - questions

    I have always just bought full catbacks & dropped my cars off to shops over the years. However I have an O/R prochamber with Stingers and couldn't take the volume anymore - plus it's a nightmare getting it to pass inspection with that noise. I didn't want to butcher my catback so I swapped...

    Stiegemeier 7 or 8. Supporting mods

    I had been looking into a Whipple or Kenne Bell for some time now and unless I buy used, it looks like by the time I'm all done, it'll be about 6g's. I have zero interest in piecing together a unit, or buying used. As much as 600+hp would be nice, I'm also not overly interested in upgrading...

    18x10 rears, max width on fronts?

    I am going to swoop in on AM's clearance on some deep dish Bullitts for my 03 Cobra. I want the 18x10 deep dish for the rear, but I really hate having a non-equal dish on the front. I've seen pictures of these wheels on 03/04's, but can't seem to dig up any info about needing a different...

    Have an 03 with the following mods: 2.76 Pulley Metco Idlers Prochamber o/r Borla Stingers JLT Cold Air It made 440rwhp/470tq @ JDM, which I was told it's a 'conservative tune'. I have been debating between a ported Eaton vs going KB. My estimation is that a KB with new throttle...

    Steering wheel shake...with a twist

    03 Cobra, 55k miles. Nitto 555's, wheel spacers.. Steering wheel is shaking up & down, not side to side. Can go for a ride and it will barely shake at all, most would blame the road conditions here. Park for 5 minutes and you could explode an unopened bottle of Soda on top of the steering...

    Hawks rotors & ceramic pads - squeak

    Passenger rear brake will squeak when the brakes have some heat in them from normal driving. Only happens around the top of the pedal with very weak braking, when it squeaks - if I lighten pressure for even a tenth of a second it'll stop, or I can increase pressure and it'll stop. There is...

    sold my 04 in 2009. now have a 2003 with mods & questions

    So here is what I did. In 2009 I sold my mint condition low mileage 04. Regretted it ever since and came back to SVTP and bought one in the classifieds. I bought it blind. Didn't drive the 300 miles to inspect it. Got a million photos and some driving videos and guess what happened...

    Deep Dish 17's? IRS Bolt?

    I'm shopping for wheels, trying to avoid 18's because of the ride quality and pot holes in my area, afraid I'll pinch a tire. Plus I have a good set of Nitto's I'd hate to see go to waste going back to a regular performance tire. I was told the only reason why you can't put deep dish 17's on...

    Head tick? Bottom end?

    My 04 Cobra has developed a tick. It's a very faint tick from the passenger side valve cover with a mechanics stethoscope. If you stick your head down by the back of the left front tire, the tick is very noticable. At idle it is noticeable however it doesn't appear to be a totally consistant...

    03/04 Cobra seat modifications?

    I'm 6'2 and about as uncomfortable as I could get in my Cobra. I feel I sit too high, my knees touch the dash & if I put the seat far enough back that my knees don't hit - I can't reach the shifter without leaning forward. My question is - before I go pulling the seat & track out.... Is...

    Fearing the worst - Rear End Noise?

    Hey guys.... I'm fearing the worst right now. Not sure what it could be but when I take left turns, from a stop or while driving at 15mph+ I get this strange noise in what sounds to be the right rear of the car. I should mention that if I run through a sharp turn really fast, the noise...

    S281 Wing

    I'm tossing around the idea of adding a S281 wing to my Cobra. I have a very good body shop ready to do the work should I purchase the wing. Since they are unfamiliar with Mustangs, they couldn't answer any questions. Will there be any fitament issues? How is the quality of the wing? Will...

    Color markings

    I recently detailed my engine... I've purchased a KB 2.4, but it's been sitting in my basement and it's currently being sold. Anyway... I noticed very little color markings on the SC, intake tube ETC. When I bought the car it was stock minus a cat-back. I've since done a pulley swap and...

    My first oil chance since buying the car and.... tick tick tick tick. I've searched these forums and it seems to be quite an issue. First things first, I hear all noises on my car. I have been paranoid for years about engine noise on my other cars and can pick out the weakest sounds...
