Okay guys, haven't been here for awhile and sad to say due to financial problems I need to sell my Cobra. But, I was in the middle of a tear down and never got a chance to rebuild. The engine/tranny is currently yanked out of the car and the engine is completely torn apart. The engine is the...
I'm pretty sure the 03 Cobra has a double din opening for the radio, whereas my 99 has a single din. I really want to install a double din. Is it just a matter of changing the bezel to an 03 bezel? Or is there more to it structure wise?
Man, there was more oil on the outside of this thing than there was inside the oil pan. It was just caked on. As some of you may recall, I had been complaining about overheating problems, burning oil and burning coolant like there was no tomorrow.
During tear down, I noticed there is oil...
Just want to be sure I'm turning it right. Is it left or right to remove the large crankshaft pulley bolt? I'm not talking about the lower blower pulley. I already got that off. I'm talking about the actual crankshaft pulley bolt.
Well, after reading all the advice from this board and trying all of it, nothing would work. The SOB would not break loose whatsoever. So, something dawned on me during my struggles. Why not use the same method I use to break the coolant crossover tube nipple loose, which is.. HEAT!! So, I...
I thought County LE was always the "Sheriff" department. But the other day, I saw a Los Angeles County unit that was marked "Police" when normally they are always marked "Sheriff". What's the difference??
For the life of me, I can't figure out how to get the spare tire jack installed in the trunk underneath the spare. I'm beginning to wonder if the jack I have laying in my garage is not even the correct one for the Cobra. I may have miss placed it at some point. Can someone kindly lift up...
I currently have the Kenny Brown springs on my car and really like them. But I think I will need something more "terminator spec" once I start pushing 600rwhp with my soon to be built Whipple motor.
Is there anything out there that will give the good ride quality like the Kenny Browns, but...
So I've been seeing these all white Crown Vics lately with the words "California Public Safety" on the side. I was never close enough to one to see if it was an exempt vehicle with any lights inside, so I thought maybe it was some private security company. The other day, I was going somewhere...
My 30" monitor is set at 2560x1600. I'd like to fill the background with a pic of a black 99/01 Cobra that is lowered a bit with Cobra R rims. I don't have a good enough camera to take a shot of my car in this high res. Thanks!
I've done this before. I know you need to pull a certain fuse or relay and then crank the motor, but I don't remember which fuse/relay. I'm preparing to pull my engine. Anyone?
I use Meguiar's products exclusively. I found that they really look the best. I use their Gold Class Soap, Deep Crystal Cleaner, Deep Crystal Polisher and the Gold Class Liquid Wax. It makes my black Cobra look absolutely amazing. Their Chrome Wheel Cleaner also is amazing but be careful with...
Here's what I have so far in my shopping cart for my rebuild. Am I missing anything?
Whipple W140ax Supercharger Kit (Black) Single Bore TB
Whipple Supercharger Pulley (3")
Accufab Single Blade Throttle Body
SCT 90mm Big Air MAF Meter (2800)
Lethal Performance Ford GT Pump and Modified FPDM...
I will be doing a complete rebuild of my Cobra for the Whipple and would really like to get everything on video this time around to share with the world! I'm looking for a digital video camera that is reasonable in price, but takes decent video. Not sure if I need HD or not. Any suggestions??
Complete setup with rotors and brakes, but one of the cv boots is ripped in half, but structurally it's fine. You can just put a new boot on it. already sitting in my garage. The 3.73s probably only have about 2,000 miles or so on them and it was never raced at a track or any hard launches...
I don't plan on doing hard launches or taking it to the track (that often at least...) so for a mostly daily driver, with more than 500rwhp, can I still use the stock clutch, or will it be toast? I'm POSSIBLY going with a Whipple at 17lbs.
I'm currently running a Magnaflow catted X with a Magnaflow cat back. I like the Mag cat backs as they give a nice sound without any popping and minimal drone on the highway, but I'm looking for a deeper sound, rather than the slightly raspy sound that the X provides. So I'm trying to find a...
Would this be about 15 psi? I know the 3.5 with stock lower is 13 psi. I know as far as belt slip is concerned, changing the lower is better, correct? Would I not need an idler on this combo?
The delima is that I would install these at home, but it would take awhile to get somewhere for a real tune. Is this dangerous or will the computer compensate for these items??
