    Me versus the IRS.

    I ended up owing money this year and it was fairly substantial so I decided to do four payments which is an option they give. I've made the first two and they cashed them but I got a certified letter stating they may have to take my soul and everything I care about if I dont pay up. I have...

    Looks like I need to start looking for a new job.

    Our company got bought out (BOC Gases) by Airgas and they are now moving some people from thier nearest plant(which is significantly smaller) into ours. They moved our manager to a new position and sent one of thier guys over to run the plant. We had a supervisors meeting friday and we asked...

    What should I expect to pay for spring,catback, and two tires install?

    '03 Cobra: Steeda sport springs, Magnaflow catback, and two GS-D3s for the rear. I have the springs and catback. I would purchase the tires from them since its a Gooyear place anyway. For the install and cost of the tires I thought it might be around $1000 or less.

    Shifter pops out of 1st and 3rd while in motion. Is that bad?

    It popped out in 3rd and I still have a headache from it. I have the Steeda Triax installed for months with no problems then I went back to stock, then back to the steeda and followed the directions and the stops were properly adjusted. Now it will sometimes grind with the clutch pedal down...

    My Florida adventure

    Went to Orlando for five days with my brother and parents. I got sick saturday night and from 10pm to 3:30am I threw up 51(fifty-one) times. It was so bad I was throwing up while in the process of throwing up. My stomach still hurts. It was only four attacks totalling about ten minutes...

    What windshield banners are available for us?

    I know of the "Cobra" but is there an SVTPerformance one(ChicagoSVT would be cool too)? I may end up going with the Cobra one in white. I think it looks great with Sonic Blue.

    CDs in spots one and two wont eject or play.

    It says "ERROR" on the screen. I can see a CD in line to go out but its too far in to grab. Should I try pushing it in or just get it to the dealership?

    I didnt get a promotion because they confused me with someone else.

    I interviewed after another person for an assitant plant manager job and they got us confused. They think he is at my current position(3rd shift supervisor) and thats why they gave him the second interview. They gave it to a bosses kid anyway but WTF!

    Just used the "CobraBob shifter gaskets" for my Steeda triax.

    I'm surprised I havent heard more people talk about it. They are silicon gaskets that you use instead of the gel you would buy for the shifter swap. It makes the job easier and cleaner. Especially for the $6 it costs. You get the main shifter gasket plus two handle gaskets. WOOT for CobraBob!

    Which is harder on the car at 500rwhp: Pullied Apten or Whipple\KB?

    Say you were looking for around 500 or so rwhp which would be the less stressful overall? It seems like the KB\Whipple would be easier because they generate less heat and and dont have to be overspun. I was just thinking about doing some serious mods next year and want to get a good idea of...

    Will GS-D3s and a 4# upper work together?

    I decided to keep the Cobra because there isnt anything else out there I want to drive that wouldnt cost more. Anyway........ I have the following mods to instal: Steeda Sport Springs, Steeda triax, Steeda CAI, Magnaflow catback. I may go with a 4# upper in the future and was wondering how...

    Might be trading in my '03 Cobra tommorrow. Am I crazy?

    I've had my Sonic Blue '03 Cobra since february of '03(might be the first guy with one on this board). I've driven it 7800 miles since then. I love the power and look of the car but its an absolute chore to daily drive. The engine is a huge heater and shifting is too notchy(stock and with the...

    feels like fours cylinder idle rumble but unrelated to exhaust. WTF?

    Every once in a while lately I'll stop at a light or sign and I'll get that rumble that old 4 cyls used to get in the same situation but when I rev the engine the rumble is still there and doesnt change pitch. It feels like its near the driveshaft maybe but I could just be on bad drugs or...

    Dumb question. NGK TR6s and stock set up.

    I had the Cobra modded with a 2.95 upper and the breather mods and these plugs. I had them gapped to a little less than .35. I returned the car back to stock minus the plugs. Is that going to be a problem?

    Lent a guy my pulley puller now he wont respond to me to get it back.

    I should never trust people. I sold him my catback, chip\pulley, and two belts and lent him the puller to do the install. He wont respond to my emails or AIMs. I got the money for the parts right away via PayPal and have his name and address. What are my options?(legal options) He...

    Test drove a Legacy 2.5 GT today.

    I'm almost positive it'll be my next car. Felt really fast for as little as I got on it. The shifter was as smooth as I've ever shifted and the clutch is really light. I chirped the tires pulling out onto the street. It likes to climb through the rpms pretty fast too. I never got into boost...

    stock pulley\belt w\ Billetflow 2-100m + 1 90mm idler too tight?

    I put the car back to stock yesterday except that I had a couple of bad stock idlers discovered by DANA a few months ago so I got the Billtflow idler set. 2-100mm and one 90mm. Now with the stock belt and pulley there is a sound comming from the SC snout or one of the pullies. Its hard to tell...

    Got a ride in a stock '03 Cobra (mine)

    The car is officially demmoded so I'll be looking to trade it in because six weeks of trying to sell it gave me no serious bites. Most likely on a Legacy 2.5L GT. They can trap 101 stock and have a great ride and interior and four doors. Finally I'll get to drive people somewhere. I cant...

    Selling a car to Carmax questions.

    If I cant sell the Cobra(see sig) by the time I go on vacation(end of next week) I'll trade it in on something else(Legacy GT maybe) or sell it to Carmax and just drive the '87 Blazer and save even more money. How does that work if they dont give me what I owe? I dont think it'll be a problem...
