Every set of directions ive read says to remove the nut and the gear will slide out. Well, we've been out there for hours, and...

As many of you on here know, my cobra was stolen from my apartment last wed. As of this time, the police have not found her, and insurance is going to go ahead and pay out on the loss. I was thinking of getting out of the performance car world for a few years, and buying a bike instead. Most of...

Im still gettin over the shock. Walked downstairs this morning to go to work, look in the carport, nothing.......zero......zip.......zilch......nada.......NO F'ING CAR!! I swear to god, if i find the little bastards ill kill em! Well, time to be a real man and go cry.

Ok, so i had no problem with any of the bolts on the pumpkin itself, but the two big bolts in the rear will NOT go into the piece mounted to the frame. Has anyone else had this issue? I've spent 2 hours trying to make it work, and still nothing. The bolt holes line up, but the bolt refuses to...

I have a trip from CT to PA that i have to make late next week, and i was wondering what would be more affordable, the train or the cobra. I normally would fly, but its too late to get a good price on a ticket. The train is $108 round trip. What do you guys think the gas costs might be? It's...

The last 2 times my car has been to the dealer i've gotten pretty crappy rentals. The first one was a 2004 Grand Prix(yawn), and the second was a 2001 Saturn(worst car ive ever driven). I guess they felt like it was time to treat me right, because when i dropped my car off on wed. i got a brand...

Does anyone on here have a mineral grey 03 w/chrome wheels in the farmington/avon area? I see this car driving into work every day, its always going the opposite direction on rt.10(towards rt. 4) in the AM(around 8:00). Just wanted to say that its a very nice car, and im always looking to meet...

Ok, i've read through 5 pages worth of threads, and i cant seem to find straght answers for my curiosities. I plan on buying a set of H&R Race springs for my '03. I dont want the SS springs, as the drop is too much for me, and i like the higher spring rates on the race springs. What i want to...

I dunno if anyone is interested, but heres a little clip i pieced together of me having fun in my car. If anyone wonders what the MRT H sounds like, this should give you a good idea. Oh, and god only knows how long this file will last, so download it while you can...

I have 2 pyrometers that i want to hook up, but im a little in the dark on how to go about this. Do i put the sensors in the front O2 sensor bungs? If so, isnt this going to trip the check engine light? Not a big deal if it does, i can just turn it off with the predator. If anyone has installed...

Well, its time for new tires, and im thinking of getting a set of Nitto 555's(not the DR's). I know ive seen people on here who run these tires, and i was just wondering how good tread life has been so far. My stock F1's lasted all of 13,000 miles, so im hoping to get a TAD more life outa new tires.

Ok, mods are in sig. Temp in the shop was 90*F, humidity was through the roof(started raining during the session). The dyno is a Dynapack style. #'s are SAE. 446 RWHP 436 RWTQ So, are these decent #'s for what i have?

How do you "burp" these cooling systems? Im in the dark here on where the thermostat is even. On my old mustang the thermostat was right up top, but im not sure where it is on this car. I need to change the coolant and ive always been told to burp the system to get all the air out.

Ok, someone help me out here. I just recently had the TOB, clutch, flywheel, etc replaced by ford under warranty. All good and well i thought till sunday night. Sunday night i notice a nice big puddle of fluid under my car. So, today i throw it up on ramps and look for the source of said fluid...

I took my car in monday of this week for a noisy TOB. Before taking it in, i put the stock pulley on and threw the stock tune back on the computer. Upon arival at the dealer i spoke directly with the SVT tech who was going to work on my car, and he ordered all the parts to do it. Now, at a...

I have searched and searched, and i still have no idea what these wheels are. I know theyre steedas, but nothing more. Help??

Run in with SL55 AMG Firstly, holy bejesus those cars are fast. Secondly, im faster. :-D I was just getting off the highway and happened to end up behind a very nice looking SL55 AMG. Being that i had loads of time to kill, i decided to tail him and see where he was headed(secretly hoping...

Has anyone here used XX Tuning for dyno services? On the same lines, has anyone used J&M? Both of these places are close by to me, thats why i ask.

http://www.hairyglass.com/mustang.html This guy sells basically our entire car(#'s 690-696 on that page) in fiberglass or carbon fiber. The prices listed are for the fiberglass versions, but he will do CF upon request, and for a higher price. It does say 99-2k2 cobra's, but im sure it wouldnt...

After shredding my last belt i decided to try something new. I ordered 2 of these belts, one for the car, one for spare. So far i have 90% less belt dust than the gates belt of the same size, and the car is running strong. So, am i the only one running this belt? Oh, one more thing, it makes...

Has anyone here used Lombard Ford for warranty work? My TOB is going and i just wanna make sure theyre not going to give me crap about my exhaust, intake, or shifter(ill replace the pulley before going in). I know that some dealers are more lenient on mods than others, so where do they fall in...

Ive already done a search, but i cant really find exactly what im lookin for. I need to know if autolite part # AP103 is the correct plug for me? The stock plug is the AP104, and one heat range down would the the AP103. I know the AR103's would be best, but i cant seem to find them anywhere. So...

Well, as the topic says, i shredded the blower belt today during a highway pull. I was in 4th gear at about 5 grand and all i heard was a slight snap, and then no boost response. Pulled the car over and found just a tiny strand left of my original belt. I was running a 2.8" non-slip pulley with...
