Thought I'd try this here, as i'm having no luck with the Discount Tire site. Trying to find a certain size/model tire, and it wont let me get past the zip code. Wondering if you have the Maxxis Marauder tire in the 295/50-15 size. Looking for something for my muscle car in that specific size...

Been reading tons and tons about 4V engines lately, with all this data being thrown around about HP figures and speed, i need a frame ov reference. What did my 215HP 96GT come with stock at the wheels? Around 165-170RWHP if i remember correctly?

I know it will work on a 99-up, but how about a 96? Likely a 9" rim, as far out towards the fender edge as possible (thinking tread just under, bulge sticking out). Will it work? If it rubs, what will rub and how bad? I wouldn't normally push it this far, but i can get a wicked deal on a...

I bought my 96 already lowered. Not sure what brand springs, but they are dedicated lowering springs (not just cut coils). They are pretty old (done years and years ago), and are a powder blue in color... no markings i could find. They still hold a nice stance, very slight rake, and they're...

I need to find these locally (near Vancouver BC), so i'm really reaching here, but doesn't hurt to ask. I need a nice set (4), dont need to be perfect, but no rash or bent rims. I seem to be able to find everything but the 98's... Anyone...???

Looking for some new rollers for my 96. I have a few options (i wont go into here), and one is custom rims, and another is widening stock 17x8" rims. The perfect option would be to widen stock rims so i can keep the stock look. I just want rubber right to the very edge and full wheelwells. My...

Maybe a silly idea for a thread, but thought I'd ask. The new 96GT i just bought just wont stop impressing me. Took it for a 500 mile high-speed burn this weekend (already have a total 700 miles on the car since i bought it a week ago) and it just wanted more. Interestingly enough, i've...

Okay, just installed a brand new pump. While the tank was out, we checked the sender, and it checked out fine (resistance check), looked fine, etc. Put the tank back in, and now its working even worse. Before it would register far more fuel than was in the tank, then drop precipitously towards...

Bought a 96 GT, nice lookin' car, but the pizza-cutters have to go. I've decided its in everyone's best interests if i put 335's on the back ov this car. Budget is very low, so i have in mind some 18x10" wheels from American Muscle (9"s up front). Is that too narrow? Tire spec says 11.5" minimum...

Just bought a 96 GT 5-speed. Decent shape, drove beautifully last night. Today, it wont start. Cranks fine, but turn the key and the fuel pump makes no sound. Started up cold in the guy's driveway yesterday. Is there any way to start this thing? or limp it to the shop? Any chance the seller...

Not sure whether to ask this here or in the SN section but here goes. Just bought a 96GT, lowered, not sure what brand springs (HOPING its not just cut stockers). The factory 17x8" pizza-cutters and 245's HAVE to go. My girl's 96GT has 18x9/18x10" DD Bullits w G-Force KDW2 275/295's. She...

Been looking high and low for a solid 4V Cobra coupe... and finding nothing. Then this foxbody hatch comes across my path, its nice, under 100K miles, looks stock, the color i want, 5 speed, has full Eibach suspension mods, full exhaust, a built 306 and 3.73 gears in a rebuilt posi. I wasn't...

Soooo disappointed. I NEEED a good car right now. I'm done messing with 40-45 year old projects to get me to work. Finally broke down, did what i said i'd never do, got a loan, and now i'm in the market for a cheaper 4V Cobra. I DONT want to buy a car i'll want to sell in 4 months. And i dont...

As detailed in the other thread i just dug up from the grave... i'm still looking for an engine for my old hotrod. There is a big block Mopar in there now, but i've fallen outta love with those and want a mod. I also want it LIGHT... and that all aluminum 4.6 4V is just the perfect fix. I also...

I'm on the verge ov breaking down and buying a small good on gas car to commute. I borrow my girl's 96 GT to get around when i get sick ov my Charger's 8mpg, but even that gets pricey on longer trips. I suppose if i really wanted to (read: if it was economically viable) i could swing a lease on...

...just how long it'll take for these things to start showing up in junkyards...??? I AM SOLD. I am so god damn horny for one ov these engines after seeing all those vids, after HEARING those vids, especially that Evolution one, that i wanna put one ov these things, and the 6-speed in my...

Hey, its been a while... work has taken over my life... Anyways, the girlfriend's 96 GT has needed a clutch for a long time. A long long long time. The fact that its lasted this long is testament to how solid these cars are, and maybe the fact its only got 215HP... I used the search first...

Weird question i know, BUT... The coils in the ol' GT are getting a little soft, not sagging, just dragging the door handles around corners a lot more than they used to. The girlfriend doesn't quite have the same vision for her car as i do, but we both agree it needs to be stiffer. She will...

Sourced a guy who's privately wrecking a 2000 Navigator with 82000mi on it. The truck was written off (has a lot ov minor cosmetic damage), nothing anywhere near the engine though. As a nice bonus, i got to hear this thing start two weeks-cold and run, went back today to hear it again, got...

Tremec says a T45 weighs 109lbs. I was wondering how much the rest ov the parts weigh, mainly: •bellhousing •clutch/PP/fork.throwout bearing/etc •stock flywheel •mount •all the little stuff, etc. I'm sure someone here has scaled this stuff, basically, i'd like to know what the entire...

Would a 99 Cobra engine (basically C-heads and N/A) with big cams, something like Comp's '500 cams (for example) and the usual N/A modifications have better or worse emissions than a STOCK 1970 big block? They are so much more generally efficient than old school. Just wondering if a...

I'm gonna post this here, as this seems like the most appropriate ov all the sections. I need a car. A cool, fast, reliable, efficient car. I've pretty much become obsessed with owning a 99 Cobra. I like the looks ov the 98 better, but for my needs the 99 has the engine i want and the IRS...

Okay, my obsession with the 99 Cobra is gaining momentum, need more info. I'm sure its been asked before, but asking instead ov searching will more directly answer my questions. I know what 'the Fix' was on these cars, but what i'm wondering is when they did fix 'em, did the 99's hit the...

Found a used pair ov 96-up Cobra bumpers and a hood today for sale locally. Hood is fine, rear bumper is fine, front needs some work (screw pulled out, scratches, poked in one spot). Dude wants $800 for all. Seems excessive... On the plus side, he also has a blk FG 96-8 Cobra hood with...

(mods) Hopefully this stays in this section, i dont really check out the other ones. Okay, i'd owned this thing for a year before selling it to my girlfriend, she's owned it for the last year. I get my oil changes done at a good friend's oil change shop ("the G-COC"...). He and a couple...
