As we all know, the 03/04 Cobras had their share of issues: ticking heads (bothf my 03 and 04 had this issue; and this was only truly resolved when they released redesigned heads in January of 05), warped rear bumpers, driveshaft issues with vibration at 80 MPH, thin paint on the hood, etc...
Hi guys, I have been a long time member here since 2002, but have been out of the Ford and SVT loop for a while (since 2005 to be exact). I love all high performance/muscle cars, and am not brand specific, meaning that I love BOTH Ford and Chevy:beer: So no hate from me in either direction. I...
2005 Infiniti G35 sedan 6MT / Ivory Pearl exterior with Wheat interior / Premium Package A / Trunk Mat. The car was bought brand new and I am the original owner.
The car is adult owned and driven. I followed the Manufacturer's recommended break-in period, which states not to exceed 4000...
I decided to change the fuel filter on my 2004 Cobra. I looked for the part number on the SVT supplement booklet and it said that the Part number is FG-800A, and that is what I bought. When I took the original fuel filter out of the car, it was part number FG 986B, which is a much smaller...

I have 24.000 miles on the Cobra, and was thinking about putting a can of their 44K cleaner on my tank, before I change the plugs and fuel filter. Have any of you added any type of cleaners in your tank to cleand the injectors, valves...
I will either be purchasing a Predator or the new Xcalibrator 2 very soon . My car will be dynot tuned, no matter which one I get. My tuner can dyno-tune using either one of them. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Please let me know. TIA!
I only plan to run a 6 pound lower pulley with the stock upper. I live in cali. with 91 octane gas. Please vote on the poll on which plugs to get. Please state the gap that you use and the reason for your plug of choice. I wil also be running a Gords HEand get a dyno tune
I am going to add a 6 pound lower pulley and keep the stock upper. I have heard different opinions on the size of the alternator pulley. SOme say to get the 3.5 for the 6 pound lower, others have said to get the 3.2 because the 3.5 will slow the accessories too much. WHich is the correct size...
Can anyone tell me the differences in materials, fit, quality? Is the design the same? It seems to me that they perform the same, except the Metco kit costs substantially more. For those that have the lower pulley kit from either manufacturer, please voice your opinion.
I just go Nitto 555R's 315/35/17 mounted on the stock rims, and 555 Extreme's 275/40/17 up front, purchased from Discout Tire. I ckecked the recommended tire pressure both on the tire and Nitto's website, and all it says is that the maximum is 44 PSI. I put 35 on the rear and 32 up front...

I just spoke to Chris at Tires Direct about replacing my bald stock F1 tires. They lasted 22.000 miles. I still have the stock rims. I told him that I want to run the 315/35/17 555r's in the rear and the normal 555 275/40/17 for the front, and he said that it is not a good idea, because the...
Ok, both of my heads got replaced. There is now a strange sound emiting from under the car. IT does not sound like the head TICK or piston slap. The engine sounds very quiet. THis sound was NOT present when I took the car in for the head replacement. If you open the hood, you cannot head...
Is there a break-in period required for new heads? Heat cycling?
Also, I was running Mobil 1 synt 5w 30 for 10.000 miles. I am sure that the dealership just filled it up with conventional 5W 20. Will it be OK to run the car for a few thousand miles with the dif. weight of oil and then go...

THe day has finally come. I have had the tick since about 800 miles on my 04 Cobra. I have been taking it to the dealer. At first they said that they could not verify it, later they did but told me that engineering was working on the problem. Months went by unti I read a thread a few weeks...
