    SOLD my 2003 Cobra...

    It's been about a month now... it's almost as bad as going without sex for a month. I was driving my brother's integra GSR and grinded the gears trying to shift into reverse, thinking I was driving my car and going into 6th. DAMM I miss the car. I got laid off so I had to sell her. I'm...

    Thumbs up to PayPal ...

    A couple of months ago, I sold an xbox to some dude. He payed me with PayPal, but probably used an unauthorized credit card. To make a long story short, PayPal e-mailed me and told me I was a recipient of an unauthorized charged. They deducted or held that amount from my account. I was a little...

    How much did you buy your "used" cobra for?

    If you bought your 03/04 cobra used, how much did you pay for it? Were there any mods? And how many miles? I'm doing a little research on the pathetic resale value of these cars! I'm having trouble selling mine, even at 25k for a cobra that is essentially trouble-free, with the exception of...

    Computer geeks! List your computer setup...

    This is a car site, but many car owners here are probably computer geeks, such as myself. I mean that's how we earn the $dope to buy our cars. Anyhow, today is Friday, GEEK day, so list your computer setup to see who's got the best system. Note: You don't have to be a geek to list your...

    Explain the difference between returnless and return style fuel system?

    After two years of owning this car, I still don't know much about the fuel systems for fuel systems available for whatever. I heard our 2003 cobras have a return-less style fuel system. What does that mean? What what does it mean when you have a return system? What impact does it have on...

    Doing a PayPal partial refund?

    Have you guys noticed that doing a partial refund on PayPal actually pays the person who you are refunding twice the amount of money intended. I don't know if they've fixed it by now, but it has happend to me twice. I refunded a $1.50 shipping fee to somebody and PayPal actually paid that twice...

    Can you die from a kick to the balls?

    No... I don't have a fetish for that kind of shit, but was just curious. My wife knew of a guy who fooled around with women even when he was married. One day, this woman kicked him in the balls. He was able to drive back home to his wife, but later on died. So I guess the answer is yes. What a...

    Future predictions...

    How long do you think the human race will last before we kill each other off or the earth can no longer provide for us? (i.e. air quality goes down, o-zone layer completely gone, etc...)

    I thought I was fast... I was wrong.

    I lined up against a full blown track-prepped race car on slicks last Friday. He launches hard, puts two cars on me instantly. (I was on street tires). Then his car stumbles or he mis-shifts. I pulled past him and got him by 2 - 3 cars while he's figuring things out. (In my mind, I was saying...

    eBay... bidding on your own auction?

    Just curious... how many of you folks bid on your own auctions to drive up the price using another account or a friends account? I do it once in a while on certain items that I don't want to give away for cheap! It works in generating some extra bucks as long as you don't over do it and then...

    Porting the Eaton blower

    What exactly is done when you port the Eaton? Do you just enlarge the intake and output holes? Or are there some internal porting done as well? We have a machine shop here at work. Maybe I'll just do it myself? :shrug:

    Anybody here have a modded xbox game console?

    These things, when upgraded with a bigger hard drive, are great little entertainment devices !! Although I don't condone stealing.... you can go rent a game and copy it onto your hard drive, play it for as long as you'd like, then delete it when you're done. You can go rent a movie and copy...

    Do you let your little baby drink soda-pops?

    For those who are parents, I was wondering if you let your little youngsters drink pop, like Pepsi and Coke or whatever. By youngsters, I mean around 1 year old.

    Upgrading the heat exchanger....

    ... IMO is a complete waste of money. Other than looks, it does absolutely nothing. After many many hard runs with my car, the intercooler fluid is not even warm. I think you guys are all doing this wrong. I mean if you want better cooling, upgrade your radiator to a ligther and more capacity...

    FS's stupid question of the day...

    Let's say you were born with a twin. You and your twin (who is a girl, btw) were adopted by different families. You two grew up not knowing of each other's existance. As faith would have it, you two met each other one day. Not knowing the real truth about each other, you two fell in love. Then...

    Citizenship and taxes...

    If you're a legal alien, but a non citizen of the US, are you exempt from paying Federal taxes? I heard that somewhere and I wasn't sure if it was true or not. Just curious.... I would think as long as you are working here in the US, getting money from the US companies that you wouldn't be...

    Recently I've noticed that the car drives pretty rough...

    ... when it's cold in the morning. This is after I switched tires to those cheapy Kuhmo Escta MX tires. Seems to me like the engine is shaking or the tires have flat spots on them. Drives pretty bumpy. Once it warms up the car drives smooth again. Is it the tires or the engine? I haven't...

    What's 450 - 500 RWHP to you?

    I know a lot of us are BPU guys (basic performance upgraded guys) making anywhere from 450 - 500 RWHP SAE. Was just curious what your definition of this range of HP is. I used to think this car was FAST, but now it's just "decent".

    Anybody done any studies on after-market intercooler vs. stock?

    I'm just curious if anybody has done a study on after-market intercoolers vs. the stock intercooler. By that, I mean plug a temp sensor device or probe directly into the output of the intercooler (going into the engine), monitoring the coolant temperature, looking for average and top temps...

    How much would you pay for a professional wax and cleaning job?

    Was thinking about letting a shop proffesionally polish, buff and wax my car to get out those nasty hard water-stains and steam clean the engine while they're at it. I was quoted $100. Does this sound fair or is it too expensive? I'd do it myself, but I don't have all the necessary equipment...

    Stock clutch with the highest mileage?

    Almost 18k miles here and still on the stock clutch. Still grabs like new. No slipping, etc. (I don't slip my clutch and don't hammer it from a 5000 RPM launch like some draggers do.) Just wondering how others have held up... I would think it should last 50k miles?
