For those who remember my plight on my poor 98, now proven to be in need of a rather expensive valve job. I took her into a fairly respected local shop and asked them to quote me on an engine rebuild (100k on it, might as well go all the way, right?) Pull the engine Valve job Head gasket...

I had her in a new shop to do some work this week. New plugs, exhaust inpection, and hose replacement. Between what I knew from working on her myself, and what these guys found we all got led on a merry chase. The weird exhaust is being caused by two things acting together: 1: She's...

Well, you guys have seen some of my sordid stories already. I'm starting to wonder if I didn't plain get screwed by the guy who I bought my Cobra from. I've had this car for about a month and a half. It's a 98 Cobra, BAB, with 120k miles on it. Well on top of the new windshield and the...

Hi folks. Good to be meeting all of you. I've spent the last 3 weeks or so lurking the forums here in preparation for buying this wonderful piece of shiny blue poontang. She's a 1998 Cobra in Bright Atlantic Blue. She's had some pretty extensive mods put on her by Steeda, courtesy of the...
