Hi. I've been a member since May 02, but I haven't posted in quite a while. I have had a rough year, but this last few months seem to be much better, so hopefully I'll be back a little more often. Anyway. Recently, my oldest son, Adam, who runs a small business supplying resto parts for Fox...

Hi people. It's been months since I last posted. I've been ...busy, shal we say. (split up with my partner, had to start my business all over). Anyway, I took a 1/2 day off and had my car tuned by Dasilvas here in Toronto. I am VERY pleased with the results. We installed a Diablosport 2.86...

I'm a little dissapointed. I had the car dynoed yesterday, and while the power was OK, the torque was very low. Before they fired up the dyno (A Dynojet?) the technicians told me that because the air was very humid, it would probably read 4-5 horespower low, so the power is not so bad, but I'm...

Anyone who's going to SEMA want to get together?

Actually, I traded it in for an 04. While I was in for an oil change last week, I wandered into the showroom where the dealer had a yellow 04 vert on display with chromies. My sales rep came over to say hello, and I joked with him as to when I could pick up my new car. Anyway, he called me out...

I was coming home tonight at about 9PM. I was on our highway #407, which is a toll road, with a speed limit of 100 KM (60 MPH). Except, the limit is rarely enforced, and most people (Including mothers in their mini-vans) run 130-140 KM (about 80-90mph). It was absolutely pissing rain, very...

I went to a "Tech day" put on by the "GTAMC" (The Grater Toronto Area Mustang Club). While there, an SVT sales Rep from the area's biggest SVT dealer gave a speech. The gist of the speech that was of interest to me e\was that the Toronto area dealers were taking the attitude that unless any...

Time to bring Redwing out of hibernation. For those who live in the warmer part of North america, it may amuse you to know that here in Toronto we get snow for 4 months a year. Hence the sleeping act. Insurance scheduled to renew on April 1, I want the car to be ready. Went looking for my...

My wife of 30 years and I are going to be in New Orleans on Friday and Saturday of this week, and then again a week later. Any suggestions or advice about where to go, and what to do? Are there are any automobile related things or places to see? We'll be taking a boat cruise so we'll be near...

Hi guys. I got some professional digital pictures done of my car a few months ago, but I can't seem to post them. My youngest son tells me he'll fix it, but he's too busy with school and work. Can I e-mail em to someone who'll post 'em for me? Steve Here's the problem

Can anybody tell me how I can upload pictures to my psots? I want to show off my new pics of my car and I just can't seem to do it. Steve

I guess my age is beginning to show. I am finding the sound from my Stingers just a tad bothersome. Not on the outside, but when I'm driving, especially on the highway.Any ideas about sound insulation or sound proofing the car? Prhaps we could use expanding foam, or some accoustic padding, or...

Just came from the DaSilva Racing Shotout at St. Thomas Dragway. There were a few 03 Cobras and somelightnings, all running strong. Considering I've only run twice before, I did good. Street tires, full tank, normal air pressure, no ice on the intake, spare in the trunk, and lots of bugs on...

Ok. I had the car in last week for a service at 20,000KM. The clutch was replaced, and the tires rotated. The new clutch feels fine, and the car runs great. About 80MPH, it starts to vibrate. Not a shake, but a kind of humming rumbling ....vibration. Before the service, it was smooth as silk...

It's only one week to the All Ford event in Carlysle Pennsylvania. My wife and I have our rooms booked for Friday and Saturday night, and we'll be driving the freshly zainoed Redwing down, hopefully top down all the way. Turns out it's only about 350 miles from Toronto, so for us it's like a...

I was cruising along a surface street in a quiet industrial area just outside the city. Speed limit was 40 MPH. Top down. Lots of sunshine. Suddenly, I see a red dot in my mirror. Rapidly gets bigger. Moments later there's another redfire Cobra coupe pacing me. This is the first 03 Cobra I've...

Despite all the controversy about Densecharger, I bought one. I spent a bit over an hour installing it this afternoon, and then I took it for a spin around the block. All I can say is:rolling: :lol: :lol: :beer: :burnout: :lol: This is terrific. It howls like a banshee, but by SOTP I can sure...

I will be going to a Deck Contractors Convention in Atlanta next week, staying at the Atlanta Hilton from Wednesday night to Saturday night, then down to Orlando for 3 nights. My lovely wife is coming with. I'm in my early 50's. We've been to Orlando many times, but have only driven through...

Hi. Sorry to pull you away from wherever you are, but I was wondering.... I've been waiting patiently for the article in 5.0 Magazine about C.A.I.'s for the 03 Cobra. I even took out a subscription so as to be sure not to miss it. Now, I'm getting ready to take the car out of it's winter...

Yesterday I saw parked at Indigo (canadian version of Barnes +Noble booksellers) a truly pathetic yellow Mustang coupe. 2000 or 2001 six cylynder, chrome yellow with black interior with the following visible mods: -Side scoops painted black -thin black stripes on the sides of the dome on the...

Was speaking to Joe Dasilva of Dasilva Racing (Used to be J&P Performance)yesterday about mods for Redwing in April. He just put shorty headers on his brother-in-law's 03 Cobra because he says LT headers would make it impossible to drop the tranny when you eventually need to do the clutch...

Well, yesterday was the day. bought a car cover from Joe Dasilva a couple of weeks ago, got some fuel stabilizer from the hardware store, and then I washed the car, pumped up the tires to 50 lbs, parked in the garage, and kissed it goodnight. When I come back from my vacation to Florida, I'll...

Hi all. I will be in Fort Lauderdale from Dec 21 to Jan 4. I'm driving down with my family (in the mini-van, unfortunately)and would love to meet up with any SVT enthusiasts for a coffee or to attend any events going on. I'm from Toronto, Canada, and will have my wife and all 3 sons with me. We...

My dealer has available one (1) brand new Cobra convertible oin his showroom. Redfire paint with black top. (Mine has the parchement top, which I think looks much better, but there is no accounting for taste). He is selling for list price. Unfortunately, for you Yanks out there, he is forbidden...
