    Let's see your garage/shop workbench and storage cabinets!

    Thank you. The floor is Race Deck. It was purchased from Garageflooring LLC. The trick is to lay down landscape fabric first. This eliminates the clanking noise on concrete when walking on it. The fabric will not rot or deteriorate. The only issue I ran into was with the lift arms clearing the...

    Removing window tint with defrosters

    Use a fabric steamer like suggested already. Undiluted simple green to get off any remaining adhesive. It will get off the adhesive and not damage your interior panels. You can use a little acetone on a towelettes to remove the glue also but you are living dangerously if it gets on anything else.

    Best cars you have driven

    In order: Current: 2018 Camaro ZL1-1LE. Love everything about it. Tons of power, comfortable seats, drives awesome and looks brutally evil. Fits me perfectly. Never thought I would ever own a GM vehicle let alone a Camaro but this car is everything I could have asked for. Once I saw one, it was...

    Thinking about a ZL1, but why are they soo.. slow?

    I got you. I was goofing around as well. I like a wide range of vehicles. The Hellcats are nice. They helped keep the modern hp wars going. The ZL1 just happens to fit my tastes and needs. It will be interesting if Ford ever gets back in the game with the GT500.

    Thinking about a ZL1, but why are they soo.. slow?

    The ZL1 is a much better car than an 03 Cobra. I had a Whippled Cobra with full suspension. Sold it about 4 months ago with 32k miles. It was fun on the track but limited with it’s old technology suspension and heat issues. I had both cooling systems upgraded and tuned to match. Car just felt...

    Just one toy

    2018 Camaro ZL1 1LE. Fun car, great looks, lots of power, nice interior. Or Lamborghini Huracan Performonte. Same reason for each though I own the Camaro now.

    Selling Cobra for Something Different

    I made the jump and couldn’t be happier. Just sold my black vert 03 Cobra with a 2.3 Whipple and 32k miles. Car was near perfect. Purchased a new 2018 ZL1-1LE. I have always been a Ford guy and grew up with mustangs. The Cobra just wasn’t my thing anymore and really never drove it. I still have...

    Convertible top storage

    I walked into the garage today and started looking at the Cobra. I don't drive it much as it only has 29k miles on it. I will go 2-3 months at a time without driving it as I refuse to drive it in anything remotely resembling wet-ish weather, let alone rain. My question is, what are other's...

    New CA DMV old school plates

    I am ordering myself a black set and wanted to pass the info along. The DMV now has a program that will let you put the old style yellow, black or blue plates on any year vehicle. These are re-productions with current reflective requirements. Here is the link. They are currently taking...

    Ceramic coated intake.

    Hello All, I decided to do some modifications to my lower intake while I had it off for a valve cover swap. I have a whipple so it all had to come off for the passenger side cover to be replaced. I did a little port/clearance work to the injector bosses and gasket matched the ports. (I will...

    Out of the ordinary exhaust setups.

    So after changing and rebuilding my exhaust about 6 different times, I finally came up with a sound I like. ( no sound clips as of right now but coming soon). I was trying to get a nice low/no drone setup that is close to stock sound levels and flows well. It now has a nice deep mellow tone that...

    Evap vapor management valve issue

    My car has been running a little weird lately ( idle issues and a TPS/maf correlation code) and I tracked it down to a couple vacuum leaks. The first leak I found was a failed diafram in the EGR vacuum control solenoid. It sounds like a kid with asma trying to take a breath when I put vacuum to...

    Shift Light Locations

    Figured I would post up where I mounted my Raptor shift light. I chose to mount mine above the rear view mirror. I made a bracket that mounts under the panel and holds the light above the mirror. Was hoping some others on here could post up there locations or ideas for future people.

    Smoothed rear bumper cover

    I just saw a redfire cobra driving around ( in San Francisco)with a cool rear bumper cover. I tryed to catch up to him to ask about the cover but he took the freeway on-ramp. The rear bumper cover looked like a stock 03-04 bumper cover but did not say "cobra" in it. It was just plain where the...

    Whipple belt sizing?

    Does anyone have a belt sizing chart? I'm looking for two belts. I have the Billetflow 4-pulley set with snub idler. I'm using a 3.5 and 2.75 pulley on my 2nd generation Whipple 2.3. Looking for what size belt to run with both those pulley sizes. Thanks in advance! Rod :beer:

    Head light wiring schematic

    Does anyone have a copy of the head light/marker light/fog light wiring schematics? I'm trying to figure out a safe way to keep the fog lights on while the high beams are energized. Bending the little tab on the #1 relay doesn't seam safe to me given Ford's wiring and the additional load placed...

    Black / flat black ford oval

    Have been working for a little while on making all my emblems flat black. The Ford emblem is the only one that stumped me a little. Here is what I ended up doing. I took the emblem apart and sanded all the blue off and re-painted the back side black. Then refinished the chrome outer ring in flat...

    Convertible rear seats

    What years have the same rear seats as our convertible cobras? I'm not talking about fabric type, just what ones that will interchange as far as fitting. We have a kid on the way and I don't want the car seat to damage the foam in my rear seats and the kid to mess up the fabric/leather. I want...

    Dual fpdm or upraded?

    What type of driver module system is the most efficient and reliable? Dual stock driver modules or a stage-2 modified module? I will be running dual gt pumps and this is a street only car that will have a whipple twin-screw running on 91 octane pump gas with a little under 600rwhp. My personal...

    Fr-500 exhaust sound clip

    Does anyone have or know where to find a sound clip of a 99-04 4-V mustang with a FR-500 cat-back? I know these have been discontinued, but I'm in the middle of custom making one and would like to hear a sound clip or two, if possible before I finish swapping out the muffler portion. Also if...

    V-6 cobra catcher

    Thought I would give this a good title. I found this add on craig's list and it made me laugh. This guy thinks his stock v-6 will catch up to one of our cobra's and will get 25mpg compared to our "7 mp" while doing it, as he puts it. 2004 40th Anniversary Mustang Custom V6 3.9 MONSTER for...
