    Stock suspension, alignment won't dial into spec...

    Thanks for the info, that's definitely what I needed to hear. I understand what you're saying, but it's good to read it and have a solid plan. I would actually rather they had said "yeah you need damn near everything cuz it's all shot"... I've been expecting to hear it for years now ~ hell...

    Stock suspension, alignment won't dial into spec...

    Me too! Definitely increased my suspicion! Mileage is about 70k. Yeah, I figured with the issues going on that something is probably worn out - not a big deal. So I even specifically asked them to check the front suspension components. They said everything looks good. So if everything is...

    Stock suspension, alignment won't dial into spec...

    Not sure, but below is a pic from last year when I had it aligned previously (which does include a before & after). At the time I didn't catch that the results were still out of spec ~ they said it was all good, and I didn't question it... until the tires kept on wearing funny >.< Yessir...

    Stock suspension, alignment won't dial into spec...

    '03 Cobra 'vert. Stock suspension and wheels. Getting uneven tire wear, so I took it to the Dealer (yeah, I know) for alignment. They adjusted it as close as they could, but weren't able to get it into spec (pic of results attached). I was told that I need a "camber kit" to allow them to...

    WTB: Stock 03/04 Cobra Pulley Cover

    Want to Buy a stock pulley cover for '03 / '04 Cobra. My upper stud broke at the cover, probably due to a mechanic leaning on it :-/ I've had it tack-welded back together, but I'd like a good, solid original to put on the shelf for the future. Thanks, Mike B. [email protected]

    Intercooler leak? Replacement options?

    About 65k miles. Daily driven, but my commute is only about 10 minutes each way. Not ideal for the car, but it is what it is. Got my car back Monday night, and today the roads are finally dry enough to...umm... "properly test for full functionality, post-repair". >.> I have to say, my car...

    Intercooler leak? Replacement options?

    Well, it doesn't seem that there are any other aftermarket vendors for the intercooler, so LFP it is. I was a bit suprised that they didn't have one in stock, but they quoted me a 3 day build and $40 for overnight shipping. It arrived at the dealer this morning, right on time. Haven't seen...

    Intercooler leak? Replacement options?

    Stopped at the dealer this morning. Yeah, it was definitely leaking and probably has been for quite some time ~ oil and coolant are cooked in the intake there like chocolate pudding, the way mama used to make it on the stove top! Yum? Put a new intercooler on order this morning with LFP ~ 3...

    Intercooler leak? Replacement options?

    I figured the obvious "clean" spot was from the coolant vaporization. The car is at the dealer, so I haven't seen it in person. Going off of what the dealer says he found. These are the other pics I have...

    Intercooler leak? Replacement options?

    Ok, I'm pretty sure I have an intercooler leak. I have been losing intercooler coolant slowly for a while now. Had to pull the unit to replace the EGR hose due to lean codes, and this is what it looks like inside.... Does this look like a leaking intercooler to you? (it sure does to me) What...

    Intermittant Noise during warm startup

    One More Gone: 1FACP42D4PF175090

    ...or at least "Well Toasted". I guess it may be possible to save it, but probably not cost effective. I'm guessing it is destined to be a donor car. 1FACP42D4PF175090 Copart Looks like it was a teal w/ sunroof. Not sure what color interior was originally, but it's black now >.>

    Cleaning the Throttle Body?(getting a kinda "low power" feeling)

    Hey Fellahs, I did some searching and didn't really find a definitive answer on cleaning a Terminator throttle body. I'm getting a kinda "low power" feeling, so I picked up some TB cleaner yesterday and when I got home I noticed it says NOT for supercharged vehicles... Some threads here...

    New Tire time again...

    Ok Fellahs, Time for new tires again, so I'm gonna ask for some input, again. Stock wheel size (275/40ZR17), and I'm currently driving on Nitto 555's. I like the 555's ~ they hop alot less than the other tires I've had in the past and they seem to grip decent wet or dry. Car is my...

    Lost one in LA Windstorm :-(

    Looks like a silver coupe got munched. Spotted it on the ABC World News tonite. World News With Diane Sawyer - ABC News Hit the passadena winds story, and the Cobra is at about 1:50 into the story. Is it anyone here? Either way, bummer of a deal, but it could have been worse. :(

    Did some Autocross this weekend...

    Had a blast. Only my second time autocrossing. My car is bone stock (unless you count K&N filter and stock / canned Predator tune). Yeah, I know a convertible isn't really the best choice for autocross, but when it is what you have then you go with it. Noticed that the car pushed like a...

    Sonic Blue, Sterling Gray to make a return to the Mustang’s color options | Mustangs Daily Interesting to consider the possibility of color changes available late 2012. Wonder if SB will replace KB, or if they will simply add SB to the mix to reduce the amount of KB orders to match the...

    Red Pedal Tags

    Hey Fellahs, spotted this on ebay the other day, and thought some of you might be interested. I'm not affiliated with the seller, but I recall some mention of these tags in recent threads. Thought this would fit in the Terminator Talk forum rather than the Market, since I'm posting for for...

    Stumble at 3000rpm...

    Hey Fellahs, I've been searching around here and not finding what I'm looking for, so I'm posting. I'm getting what feels like a loss of power / "flat spot" at around 3k rpm. Only seems to happen when i'm gettin on it. When I do a non-WOT, modest but aggressive acceleration it seems...
