I hate to do this because this car has been my baby since I was 17 but increasing college costs leave me no choice. I have a 96 Cobra with 162K on it. THE MOTOR RUNS FLAWLESS with maybe a 1/4 quart of mobile1 burnt in about 4000 miles, no knocks, no taps, NO LEAKS.
Here are the issues...
So once again, the costs of school ruin my hopes of improving the car so instead of my plan for a built sra I am going to have to go with a junkyard rear. What years and other models can I do a direct swap?
Just as the title states, my rear blew and I am looking to buy a replacement. I live in Morrisville, PA (near Philadelphia) and will pay to have it shipped if it looks like something I cannot pass up.
So my car finally kicked the bucket. The rear blew apart and I figure I really wont need to fix it right away so I want to go with a built rear end. I do not claim to be an expert on what ill need so I would appreciate some sound advice.
What should I be looking for? (In terms of diff...
I have a 1990 Bronco for sale with 146k on the clock. Motor, Trans, Transfer case work with no problems at all. This truck runs strong with no oils leaks or noises. The interior is an Eddie Bower edition that was well maintained. The only issue with it is some rust on the body ONLY (a small...
I'm looking to sell my 1990 Bronco (Eddie Bower) to anyone local that has interest. The truck runs perfect with only a few cosmetic flaws, but nothing serious. The motor/ drivetrain have 146K on them, but there are no leaks, no noises, and no fluid loss.
If you would like pictures or have...
Sorry to have all these threads about this starting issue guys but I am really getting desperate. So far here is what I have . . .
The car is DEAD quiet when trying to start
I tried jumping/ a new battery
The starter is getting 12 volts
I looked for the ground wire and it appeared to be...
I feel like a complete idiot for even asking this. . . But where is the ground wire? I thought it was near the oil filter on the chassis, but cannot find it at all. I have been trying to get my car to start and this on one of my last options. Fuses are all ok, starter has volts, alternator is...
Hey guys, my 96 has been sitting for a few weeks while I am at school and when I last went to start it it was dead. I jumped it and still nothing, than I checked the starter to be sure it was getting volts, it was. I am pretty certain it is not the alternator, as it was replaced not too long...
WTS: Silver '01 Lightning PRICE NOW 13,500!!!!
I hate to see it go but im selling my 2001 SVT Lightning. The truck is in great condition with only 57,600 miles on it. Paint is at minimum a solid 9 out of 10, Interior 10 out of 10, and it runs with no issues at...
Well its been a really long night to say the least and here is my issue. . . . Im making a left hand turn on a "bumpy" intersection when I hear a crashing sound followed by a grinding noise. I thought my trans dropped or something but upon further inspection it looks like my shock disconnected...
Hey guys, My brother is thinking very seriously of picking up a Lightning and I am just looking to find out what I can about them. We got a few quotes but the ranges were so vast its hrad to say what is legit. . What do most of you think he pay (He is 19 in the Marines so it will not be...
So my buddy and I were talking (bench racing I guess) and he gave me an interesting proposition. My car is a 96 Cobra (mods in sig) and I will be racing his car, a 2003 GTP stock except for an intake. We will be doing both dig and roll races. Now, before giving me your inputs know this. . . I...
So im at my sisters house and her boyfriend is out working on his F-150 with a few friends when I get there. One friend has an early 90's 240sx all primered up and somewhat stripped inside. I stat talking and ask him what its got done and he said he does not know because he needs to re-tune it...
Saw this on LS1Tech, thought it was funny and figured you guys would like it also (I made minor edits)
Twas the night before Christmas and caught at the light. Was a domestic big block V8 and no cops in sight. The Honda said... I will try, I will try... I will try with my small motor. To...
Anyone on here with full length subframes can you see them from outside the car and if so how much is visable? Any issues with bottoming out? The long tubes already do from time to time, I just need to know if it would be any worse
Buddy of mine has a new edge and he floored it and coolant splashed allover his windshield and out his exhaust.... I told him sounds like a blown gasket somewhere but askin all of you......
As I research which short block to go with I seem to find nothing even remotly as cheap as MMR. Norm I would think that means poor/cheap quality. But all I have been hearing is how great MMR short blocks are.
How is it that they get such a good reputation and remain hundreds cheaper than...
Nothing too exciting but I figured id share anyway.... went to ATCO with my buddy who just bought a 99 GT. It only has mufflers a short throw 3.73s and is lowered (spring only) he made 2 passes and after failing to break 15s. he asked me to try. ran a 14.31 @97 with a 2.002 60ft. Not bad...
Why is it that most guys you see with SN95 Cobras usually only have a 1.5litre Kenne Bell? Maybe its just me but for those that have them(even with built motors) it seems like noone puts on a 2.2 KB
Well its just about a definate.... the head gasket is blown and i am going to give this "Bars leaks; head gasket repair" a try. But regardless, I am starting to save for a rebuild. My question is about price? (No, not about ""How much will it cost"":bash:) I want to no if its worth it to keep...
Well guys I think my car blew a head gasket. Awhile ago it started running much hotter than usual so I brought it to a shop and they said it was nothing more than an air pocket. I bleeded the system and added some coolant and it seemed ok..... till today when it started getting hot again. In...
