Just a heads up for those of you in need of tires. Matt at Discount Tire went above and beyond to secure the tires and wheels I wanted. They were fairly priced and delivered safely. They are a vendor on SVTP. Thanks to Matt. Dan

wanted to buy: 10.5 X 17 Satin finsh '03/'04 Cobra wheels. Wheels only, don't need tires. Must be in like new condition. Please let me know what you have and a price. Thanks, Dan

Used a couple of thousand miles. Still like new. Good street shock. Fits '94 and up Mustang $107 each at Jegs new. $100 for the pair plus shipping. Dan

For those of you using a Reichard Racing tensioner, some inspection might be in order. There have been several reported failures of the pulley on the tensioner. The inner bore of the pulley becomes wallowed out because the outer race of the bearing begins to spin in the bore. There is no...

For Sale. I have a black hood that only has a few paint chips on the leading edge. It is complete with the vents. Doesn't need any body work, but may need a repaint to make it perfect. $200 plus shipping if not local to Chicago. Dan Dan@ldcchicago __________________

I feel that customer service is so significant, I had to make this post to pat one of our vendors on the back. I sent an e-mail to Gord of Gord’s Ford Performance on Sunday evening. For those of you unfamiliar with the name, he supplies the super Heat Exchanger for our Cobras. I was doing...

I finally had the roll bar installed this week. It turned out great and the installer did a great job. Nice placement and clean install. I’ll post pictures later. The problem is that I am not happy with the paint color. I painted it over the weekend and when we looked at the paint that...

Ok, as the title suggests, I have decided to let the world renowned Hermann of Horsepower by Hermann rescue me. I have decided that the learning curve is a little to steep and time is too short for me to fully realize the potential of the SCT ProRacers Package I own. After several false...

Anyone else having problems with these axles bending at the radius where the flange meets the axle shaft? I have now bent 2 more for a total of 3 so far. Strange Engineering says they know of no reason for them to be bending like that but they were very professional and have agreed to try to...

Some may be interested in this. It provides a little more of the stealth look. Takes about 1/2 hour to do. The Stock pulley cover can be modded to fit over the 3rd idler just by rebending the existing cover slightly. You will have to look at this post to see the pics and details...

I am planning on moving the battery to the trunk this winter. Anyone have any tips or suggestions? I know I need a metal box to enclose the battery. Where are the cables best mounted in the front (positive) and rear(ground)? Any new ideas on mounting the shut off switch? I was...

Saturday, September 20, 2003 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM Any of those that are interested in coming out to RT 41 in Morocco, Indiana, this coming Saturday, please let me know. It is a track rental from 9AM to 4PM by a local club. They are trying to get a rough head count for the track people...

As some of you here may know, I am installing a solid axle in my Cobra. So, I figured the easiest way to change the exhaust was just to purchase the GT pipes from Magnaflow, since the Cobra and GT are different, and I have the Magnaflow cat-back system on my car now. What a surprise. I spoke...

Anyone installed one yet? Just curious about where the best place for the electrical connections & wire routing. Or any install problems? This weeks project. Thanks, Dana

Info: Well, that didn't work....

I am about to start ordering pieces to complete a solid 8.8 axle install into the Cobra. There seems to be an abundace of speculation, but no solid info. My biggest concern is the ABS braking system and the compatability of the '03 Cobra brakes (calipers & rotors) with the GT housing. I...

Since several of the guys here are way into road course racing, I will direct this primarily at them, but anyone else with suggestions and experience, please feel free to jump in. I have read all the threads I can absorb for one day and now am putting it out for discussion. I plan on...

For those of you that will have your cars together by May 10th, a day at Route 41 is available. It is located in Moroco, Indiana. It is about 50 miles south of Chicago. The track has been reserved by a group that a friend of mine belongs to. It will be available from 0800 to approximate 1500...

I know I am getting old, but I would swear that someone, maybe Cobryan, posted a thread about the ultimate cause of his pulley squeak. It seemed as though there was a failure in the BilletFlow extra idler setup somewhere and he launched the pulley. At the time of the post, all he knew for sure...

Metco Drive Shaft Loop Install Caution For those of you that have or are planning on installing a Metco Driveshaft Loop, a word of caution is in order. Since they are all going to mount in roughly the same general area, you may benefit from my error. The short story is: there is a wire...

OK Guys I need some help here. Saturday night, a short developed in the wiring below the passenger seat. 6 wires were shorted out. 3 of them appear to be grounds from various places, but 3 more aren’t. Car won't start/anti-theft light flashing rapidly. I found and repaired the shorted wires...

This says it all: Dana

Anyone interested in these? I have 20 of each size for sale. I wanted them and had to buy a minimum order. I just want to recoup my cost. They are in the blue color only and are cling on type decals. They are designed to be applied from the inside and are removable. $3.00 each, includes...

Tech Edge WB O2 ver 1.5 with datalogging capability. I just received mine in the mail 2 days ago. Still trying to find the O2 sensor. I am also trying to figure out how to install it. There are absolutely NO directions what so ever. I think I have most of it figured out, but I won't know...

Metco Lower Install (Pics Restored 12/20/03) Gone again:-( Well, I started the lower install Friday night and finished it Saturday morning. Not too bad a job if you can turn wrenches. You’ll need the following: Get some Loctite, and a cleaner for the threads, you’ll want it when this goes...
