    WTB HPP Upper Intake hat for Sullivan

    Let me know what you have. As cool as it looks, I can't get over the poor flow of the Sullivan TB adapter. Looking to buy an HPP upper rather than change my TB to use a Wilson's elbow.

    Rear fender dent repair question

    I have a dent in the rear fender right where it transitions from a curve to a flat surface right above the wheel. Feeling under there it seems there is a fender well cover that is in the way. How is that removed? Does it need to be removed to pull the dent? It's not really that big of a...

    Bigger brakes or lighter wheels?

    I have a 99 Cobra with coil overs, FTBR everything in the rear, a big bore stroker making 450 at the wheels and I'm going to start hitting some open track or HPDEs. I'm due for new pads and rotors anyway, so I'm going major with the brake upgrades. Right now I have some 00R replica 18 inch...

    What to do with rear brakes?

    I'm prepping my car for some track days and I thought some brake mods would be in order. I've found plenty of options for the front brakes, but not too much on the rear besides kits that are well over $2 grand. Is there anything I can do to the rears for around $1000 or less? I've upgraded to...

    I'm back and giving the Cobra some love!

    Guys, I've been out of the game for quite a while, but I'm looking to get back in. I spent over 5 years in Hawaii, which was fan-freaking-tastic, but the car got no love out there, shipping for parts was just too much. The sun out there is no joke and killed an already fading paint job. So...

    Has this happened to anyone else? Control arm bushing failure.

    I have MM tubular front control arms. I was driving down the highway and felt some vibrations. It felt like the front wheel was loose if I hit 50 mph. I pulled off and went over a speed bump and could hear a thunk like metal on metal. I got the wheel off and found that my bushings in the...

    Throwing codes

    I'm throwing P0460 and P1504. It only does it sometimes and when it does, it idles lean. If I am off throttle, it will peg lean sometimes, I have a wide band. If I give it some gas, it comes back into range. I don't go full throttle when it does it, but if I lean into it a bit, it will richer...

    Trimming the harness

    I also posted this in the tuning section but im looking for some more input. I have deleted the egr and whatnot. Can I just cut and shrink wrap the excess wires that I am not using? I want to clean up the engine bay a little. I've also been toying with the idea of a stand alone fuel...

    Trimming the harness

    Not sure if this really fits the tuning section or not. I have deleted the egr and whatnot. Can I just cut and shrink wrap the excess wires that I am not using? I want to clean up the engine bay a little. I've also been toying with the idea of a stand alone fuel management system, like a big...

    No more rubber!

    The only rubber in my car is in the weather stripping, trans support, and tires. I finally got around to installing delrin bushings in the rear along with delrin diff support and aluminum front diff bushings. The uppers are Bruce's and the lowers I think are the older style Max Motorsports...

    Anyone pushing 1000hp?

    I know someone is. I got the new issue of Car Craft and was disgusted to see the cover article say "Easiest 1000 HP Ever!" I read it, hoping it was a Cobra/GT500, but expecting an LS. Sure enough it was an LS. I'm curious as to how it is so easy when it uses an aftermarket block, aftermarket...

    Met #41

    I met the owner of #41 in my home town last week. Great car, super nice guy too. He races it, he told me the internals are stock but it had some suspension work, the interior was gutted and caged too. I couldn't believe how clean it was, he was actually at a booth for car care products. That...

    Starting my diet

    Eventually, this is going to be a track car, so some parts are coming out. First to go was the AC. Now the stock seats have been replaced with Corbeau LG1s. I had them recovered in vinyl and cloth in the center by Al's in Waipahu. I also deleted the rear seat. What you can't see is that I...

    Dyno run :(

    Not so good results. 388/347 was the best run. The motor dies in the upper rpm according to the dyno. On the street, she feels like she pulls all the way to 8000. She also feels alot stronger than just 40/40 more than the stock short block FR500 cam and intake build I did. The A/F stayed...

    Kinda embarassed to post this, but it's funny

    So I'm at a stop light and there is a Civic Si behind me. As soon as I get far enough in front of the car next to me, he does a ricer flyby. I don't even down shift, I just floor it, reel him in, and pull about 10 cars on him before I even have to shift again. I say embarassed because it...

    Entered my first show!

    I decided what the hell and entered a car show. It was the annual Rumble on the Roof put on by Hawaii Performance Mustangs. It's an all Mustang show, a couple hot rods were there, but they aren't eligble for the rumble contest. I went mainly for that. You get three revs and they judge your...

    Clutch noise

    I'm not sure if it is the normal clutch chatter or not. It starts chattering around 2500 rpm and get louder till about 2800-3000. It only happens with the clutch engaged, but it doesn't have to be in gear to do it. Once I get past 3000 rpm it stops. I have over 2000 miles on it. It is not...

    Stripe delete available on Laguna Seca?

    Anyone know? Are they just stickers, or is it paint? I hate the roof and the red accents on the wheels, in the grill, ect. I just want black with the c stripe only.

    Test for coils COP?

    Anyone know how to test these? I started getting a popping at partial to full throttle occasionally and sometimes I can feel a hesitation and then it smooths out and the power comes back. I think it has to be the ignition.

    What do the vacuum ports control?

    Short story, 99 Cobra, stock harness and ECU, tuned with SCT, big bore stroker with a Sullivan intake and the EGR deleted. I tapped the spacer for a vacuum port and I'm pretty sure it is leaking. There is a portion of the main harness that has boots on it that plug into the sensor on the end...

    WTF is GEM in fuse block 39?

    I have had a parasitic drain for a while now and I finally traced it to fuse block 39. 2nd to last fuse I checked of course! I noticed that GEM is generic electronic module and that it is in several fuse blocks. Is there more than one or is it somehow powered from different fuse blocks? What...

    No fuel, need help

    I pulled the Focus pump and BAP to install the Fore hat with dual GT pumps. I don't get any fuel at the fuel rails. I reconnected the pink with black stripe wires together. I soldered the 2 power wires to the one power wire on the stock harness, did the same with the 2 grounds and soldered...
