    Waking up exhausted....

    Anyone ever have this problem? Sure it happens when you're short on sleep, but i've been getting the SAME amount of sleep as I always do (6-7 hours a night) and have been waking up totally exhausted and feel the same way the rest of the day. Work has been crazy this week, maybe that's it. Any...

    Ordering Midpipe. Need Opinions.

    Alright, i'm finally getting around to modding my cobra. I'm having steeda full length subs put on and want to go ahead and put an off road mid pipe on as well. I've got the stock catback. So i'm either going to go with an offroad vrs x pipe, or an offroad mac h pipe. What do you guys...

    Guitar Players Inside Please

    Hey guys, I'm sick of having to fix my 10 year old 2x12 ampeg (even though I LOVE the sound) and i'm in the market for another gigging/club amp. This is kind of urgent actually as i've got some performances coming up. So i've played on lots of fenders and like them. I'm looking at the...

    German Castrol

    So I keep reading really great things about this German Castrol stuff. Well it's time to change the oil again and I stopped at autozone yesterday to pick up some of the usual mobil 1 5w20. To my surprise, they actally had plenty of the German Castrol. It was only 19 more cents a quart than...

    Front Wheel Bearing

    So I've had a rumbling noise coming from my front end lately. After doing a couple different tests, I discovered it's the passenger side front wheel bearing. I took the tire and brake assembly off, and when I spin the hub, it makes kind of a rumbling noise and a slight rattle. So the question...

    Loud Hummming from front end!

    Alright. 2001 SVt Cobra here completely stock save for a pro 5.0 shifter. I noticed lately that when I accelerate and reach about 45 to 50 miles per hour, there is a loud humming noise coming from what seems like the front end. What could this be? For what it's worth, my tires are damned...

    Snow troubles. Cracked Bumper.

    Ok, so we just had a record snowstorm in Tulsa and I hit a patch of ice going about 10 mph and ran into a snow enbankment. My front bumper is cracked down the middle on the lower part. Is there a way a body shop can fix my bumper, or do I need a new one? If I need a new one, where should I...

    '93 Chevy Blazer for DD

    Alright. So I'm in search of a new daily driver because I'm tired of racking up miles on the Cobra. A friend at work has a '93 Blazer he's selling. It has the Vortec V6 with 124,000 miles on it and a recently rebuilt auto tranny. The body looks pretty straight although the paint and interior...

    VRS off road x question

    If I purchase this midpipe, what other parts will I need besides the mils? I know on my GT i didn't need o2 extensions. What about on these 01 Cobras? Also, do i need any additional hardware? I've heard about needing a new stud for the manifold to midpipe flange. Any help would be...

    AFS Wheels

    Ok, I looked at the Ford Racing '95 R wheels and didn't see that they offered them in a polished finish, which is what I want to stick with. I'd go for chrome, but they listed at about 300$ a piece. So, I'm leaning towards the AFS wheels. I've done a little research and have read some people...

    Good Aftermarket Wheels

    Well, I'm going to start looking around for new wheels for the cobra. When I have to buy new tires, I don't want to have to buy these puny 245's again, knowing I will soon swap out wheel sizes. I've seen the wheel replicas wheels and they look nice, but I've heard they aren't near as strong as...

    VRS OR-X + Stock catback

    Alright guys, I'm really considering going ahead and buying an off road x to put on the Cobra before I do the catback. How will this sound? How loud would it be compared to say having a mac 2.5 coupled with the stock H?

    Subframe Connector installation

    Hey, I've got a pair of Steeda full lengths that I had originally bought for my GT. I want to have them put on my Cobra pretty soon. Where is the best place to have this done? Muffler shops will do it, but I don't know if it would be better to take it to a frame or body repair shop. I just...

    Mac or slp?

    I've pretty much narrowed my exhausting exhaust search to either SLP lm1's or mac flowpaths. I like the way both sound in different ways. How will the mac 2.5" stainless catback sound with the stock h? I'm afraid it won't be much louder than stock. I know the slp will be pretty loud with the...

    Greatest engine ever built

    I'm just curious what people in here think is the greatest engine ever built. I realize that is a very broad question, so let's consider performance, reliability, cost to modify, and durability. I myself would have to go with the Ford windsor motors and SBC motors. As much as I love the mod...

    Favorite punk rock band

    I'm sure there are some punk listeners in here, so who in your opinion is the greatest all time punk band. For me it's a split between The Clash, and the Sex Pistols.

    Top three horror movies.

    Well since it's 6-6-6, I'd like to know what everyone's three favorite scary movies are. I'm going to say.... The Exorcist The Exorcist 3 The Omen The Shining is another one. Toss up between it and the Omen. Only reason I didn't choose it is because Nicholson makes me laugh a lot in it.

    NOISY brakes.

    Ok, I posted earlier about a really annoying creaking/clicking noise when I apply the brakes. This occurs when the car is moving, and when the car is totally stopped. I changed the pads and greased the backs of the pads, the mounting pin, and all other contact points that could have been...

    Coolant Flush

    I'm going to drain my coolant this weekend and was wondering what all is involved in flushing the system. From what I have read, I need to hose out the radiator with water, and fill the system through the crossover. Any other things I'm missing here? How about turning the heater on while I'm...
