    AC compressor part number?

    Anybody know the part number for the AC compressor on a 98 Cobra? Also, when changing the compressor, do Ford compressors come with enough oil in them or do I need to add to it? Also, what other components should I replace along with the compressor, such as the dryer?

    Serious power loss, advice?

    Here's my problem. A couple weeks ago, my car started to lose power and stall. Let me explain. It will idle all day long and run fine at low power levels. The first time it happened, I thought my fuel pick up line in the tank was covered with garbage or something because it would just stall...

    Cigar lighters went dead.

    Yes, I already checked the fuse. I've already pulled the entire center console, everything looks fine. I tested the wire coming out of the fuse panel under the hood (light blue w/ white stripe) and it's still has current at that point. It goes dead before it makes it to the harness that...

    What headlights are you running?

    I busted a headlight along with the corner light and the light mount behind them. I'm trying to buy a new headlight on ebay, but not sure of which to buy. Is there a difference between the Cobra headlight and the other 94-98 Mustang headlights? Same question with corner lights. I thought...

    Have you seen this house?

    I'm looking to build a new home. I was searching through online house plans and I stumbled across a home that is very unique. From the pictures online, I like it. I also have some reservations about it and wouldn't want to build it until I've seen the actual house already built. I know it's...

    Got owned :(

    Just messing around on the interstate this morning at 5:30am on my way to school (no one on the road) and I came upon a black lightning. I don't know what his mods were, but we were going about 65 mph and he stomped it and I stomped it and he drove away from me like I was in a civic. I felt...

    Speedo gear ??

    I was talking to the tech guy for UPR and he said that the speedo gear they have will work with either the 8 tooth T45 or the 7 tooth T45. I think he's wrong. If the same gear is used, it seems like there would be a %14 difference on the imput side which would absolutely affect the output...

    Bushing swap?? Write up?? Pics???

    I need to swap bushing in my front control arms and replace my ball joints. I realize I can just buy the 03-04 Cobra control arms with new bushings in them for $220, but I'm too cheap for that knowing that I can replace all of my front end bushings (front control arm, steering, sway bar, strut...

    05+GT vs. 98 Cobra?

    I've had my 98 Cobra for a little over a year now. It's a daily driver and I love it. I have never taken it to the track so I have no I idea how it runs compared to others. I'm stock except a shifter and weld in flowmasters. Everything else is stock, even the air filter. From what I've...

    I now understand what people complain about up north where snow is normal. My cobra is my daily driver commuter car to school. I got to school yesterday around 6am (yeah, it's finals time) and when I left at 9pm, there was snow on my car. I immediately thought, this sucks a$$, I just failed...

    Weird high idle problem!

    This past week, when I got to school which is about a 30min drive on the interstate, I pull into the parking spot and I notice that it was idling around 1500 rpm. I tapped the gas to see if it was just stuck and it didn't come down. I held down the brake and let up on the clutch with it in...
