    Rebuilding The Terminated Cobra1FAFP48Y43F309694

    This could be said for most of the ideas in this thread lol.

    Is it worth trying to restore my 04 Cobra??

    Doesn't look bad, honestly can't be worse than the kid trying to basically build a car from scratch in here lol. I like the look of the clean engine bay.

    Paint or not paint, that is the question.

    IMO unless your car is collector tier status repaint or partial repaint isn't a huge issue. For collector purposes I get it but if you've already modded your car in any way and the mileage isn't low that ship has sailed. My car was in an accident at one point, I know the bumper, hood, and...

    Getting 14” front brakes - what to do for rears

    Not to hijack but what big brake kits work with the stock wheels? Want to upgrade but I kinda like the stock wheels for now.

    Why is everyone selling..

    I think another factor is the market is starting to cool. People are rushing to try and get max value while they can. Have you seen any of the ones posted for sale in the Facebook groups lately? A lot of them are ridiculously priced, like over BaT pricing which is generally on the high end...

    Money is no object

    Even with a lot of that money I think I would do something mild and just build an all-around fun car. I am more of a backroad driver so having a great suspension, brakes, nice lightweight set of wheels would be good. Maybe something around 500 whp would be more than enough. I am boring though lol

    10th Anniversary vert at Mecum

    Feel like that is a good buy, I paid a bit less for my DSG Vert with more miles. There have been some low mileage coupes that have sold for way more than that on BaT. I know at least when it comes to my 996 911 the coupe vs vert makes a huge difference in pricing.

    Whistler wheels

    Those look good, RPF1 are on my list but I am not 100% sure yet.

    Whistler wheels

    This is where I am at. Rep wheels from a reputable company aren't usually an issue these days. I love the CCW and BC Forged but I am also somewhat budget conscious. If I can spend $1500-$2000 on a set of reps and nice rubber I would rather put the rest into a suspension refresh. I had a...

    Ceramic Coating Wheels

    100% worth it. I ceramic-coated the wheels on my 996 911 after having them redone. Legit still looks brand new every time I clean them. Just a little soap and wheel brush or mf towel. I also detail cars for a living and I've coated many cars and parts of cars. Just had a coated Audi A4 in...

    Rebuilding The Terminated Cobra1FAFP48Y43F309694

    I feel like a big driver these days of projects like this is youtube. I am not saying in this case specifically but there are a ton of channels that buy cars that have no business being repaired and they repair them. It makes sense for them because they make money, I enjoy watching it but...

    What did you do for your Terminator today?

    Picked up the car from the shop. The rear end was pulled and seals replaced and fluid changed along with an alignment. Nice to have that taken care of!

    What did you do for your Terminator today?

    Got my car over to my mechanic. Diff is leaking from every seal LOL so I guess I know where my leak is. Maybe I shouldn't have ordered that exhaust lol.

    Blessed me father for I have sinned

    That looks pretty good I wonder how it will hold up.

    What did you do for your Terminator today?

    Bit the bullet and ordered the bassani exhaust setup. Have an appointment to check the rear diff leak next week along with an oil change as well.

    What did you do for your Terminator today?

    For sure, I have no problem with people doing what they want with their cars its probably because I just don't get to drive mine enough!

    What did you do for your Terminator today?

    It is wild, I use to be all about keeping my cars pristine and low mileage and now I get mad I cant drive them enough. Washed mine up and filled it with gas and debating on some mods. Was going to get the Bassani Catted mid pipe and its between the slp loud mouth and bassani 3" cat back. What...

    What did you do for your Terminator today?

    Hmm, maybe that is it then. I haven't actually gotten it up in the air myself yet. When I had it looked at early this year when I purchased I was told a shock was leaking but don't that would run down that way given the shock is off to the side. It's been a wild summer and hasn't gotten a lot...

    What did you do for your Terminator today?

    Was under the rear bumper working on restoring the plastic valance and took a peak around the undercarriage. Noticed my diff is damp at the bottom so that is fun. Not sure if that is a project I want to tackle, looks like a lot of work. Also been thinking of what direction to go. Feel like I...

    Does anyone know this car?

    Why does one of the gauges look like it has ear wax spread inside?

    So, are values rising???

    What was the bottom of the market for these cars? Feel like I've shopped off and on for one for 10+ years and decent examples have always been expensive. Now its just the real nice examples are super expensive and decent ones are still expensive.

    03 Cobra new wheels

    I like the style, would have gone 18" myself but looks good.

    What did you do for your Terminator today?

    Productive morning. Changed the spark plugs because I don't know when they were done last, they looked okay but were in there tight. Cleaned up the crud around the coil cover. Installed the JLT intake while I was in there. Also replaced the wiper arms since the finish was all worn.

    2003 svt Cobra Circuit performance wheels?

    I am in the same boat. Starting to plan for suspension refresh and wheels. Was thinking of 18x9 and 18x10.5 out back. Seems like a safer option, Does anyone know what tires I can run on this and be okay? Not trying to hijack your thread just don't want to start a new one for a similar question.

    What did you do for your Terminator today?

    I have the stainless letters as well, installation is super easy. I had just coated my car so it was prepped but if you do it after a wash just hit it with some isopropyl alcohol, dampen a microfiber with it and just blot the letter indents. This will remove any oils or residue before you...
