    I know this forum is really quiet these days, but I'm hoping someone out there will see this and can maybe give me some direction on where to go from here. My dd 04 SVT Focus keeps having a cylinder 3 misfire. It is random on when it occurs, and will typically go away within 5-10 minutes of...

    Guys with centri blowers step inside...belt issues

    I have a 96 Cobra with a Vortech T trim. I have only driven the car a hand full of times in the past several months (since installing the new blower, etc.). I drove the car a month ago, and I would smell something "hot" or "burning." After checking the car out all over, I just drove it again...

    Car won't start... no spark, but will crank.

    My 96 cobra will crank but won't start. I am just now getting the car back together so this weekend was supposed to be it's first start up in quite some time. I checked and I don't have any spark. What do I check? Could it be something that was forgotten about in the start up tune that...

    96 Cobra, what does this plug go to?

    I am having a brain fart and I can't recall/figure out where this plug goes. It is approx. 10" from the main wire harness connection (where the single bolt goes down through the connection) on the passenger side back in the corner by the fire wall. I believe it is the first thing that comes...

    Need a part # for a 112" 8 rib belt

    I posted this question in the blower bistro section, but I thought someone with an SN95 Cobra with a Vortech could help me out. I have a 96 Cobra and I just put a Vortech T trim on it with a 2.85" 8 rib pulley. I called Vortech and they said I need a 112" 8 rib belt, but they don't sell any...

    Vortech T trim installation on a 96 cobra

    I am in the process of installing a Vortech T trim on my 96 cobra. I am running a 2.85" 8 rib pulley on the blower. I have the blower shimed out away from the bracket 0.28" to compensate for the added thickness of the 8 rib vs. the 6 rib pulley. My problem: When trying to install the...

    4v timing chain help

    Ok, the engine's out of my car, and I am trying to get everything ready to put it back in. I removed the front cover to have it powder coated and I then noticed that the long chain on the passenger side of the engine (the one going from the crank to the cams) has a bit of slack in it. Now the...

    Need some help with a MAF in a blow thru application

    I will be the first to admit I don't know too much about plumbing a V1 T trim with a FMIC in a 96 Cobra. I want to run a blow through set up, because from what I've read this will provide the best driveability, as well as allow me to vent my Tial BOV to the atmosphere. My question is this...

    Throttle Body on a 96 Cobra

    I have a question about the factory throttle body and it's limitations on my 96 Cobra. At what point does the factory tb become a restriction? In other words, how much power will a factory tb support before I should be concerned about upgrading it?

    Winter Tires/Wheels on an '04 SVT Focus

    My gf has an '04 svt focus and I am trying to figure out what to do about the tires/wheels for winter (the tires that are on the car are a performance tire and are NOT going to be good for the snow). We "can" get a fair amount of snow around here in the winter (not nearly as some of you guys...

    Realistically, what is my KB worth

    First off, this is NOT a for sale thread. I am looking for some of your guys opinions on what you realistically think my KB that is on my 96 Cobra is worth. I ask this because trying to find one of these used kits for sale is few and far between. I see S trims for sale all day long, so...

    Two ?'s - T56 and clutch

    First off, I would like to put a T56 into my 96 cobra, but I'm trying to figure out a few things about them. I'll admit, I don't know too much about transmissions, so I called D&D to ask them, and they seemed to blow me off. The 1st gear in an 03-04 cobra T56 is 2.97, and the 6th gear is...
