    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...

    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...

    Custom wheel finish opinions

    So, here is the story. I searched for a while to find a set of 17x10.5 wheels in the factory satin finish with no luck. I ordered a set of 2-17x9 & 2-17x10.5 03 cobra wheels in gloss black because that was the cheapest finish. I am taking the full set to a wheel refinish company tomorrow to have...

    FS: Bassani s.s. Catted x-pipe

    This Bassani stainless steel x-pipe has about 300 miles on it and no scratches. I bought it and don't like the sound so it has got to go. It also came with the pipes to take the place of the cats and those are still brand new in the box. It will be shipping from 94044 in California. It is still...

    Bassani catted x-pipe + Borla cb noise issue

    I have the "quiet" Borla cat-back and everything was great until I installed the bassani catted x-pipe and now have developed a drone noise around 2200 rpm. I'm going to try some insulation on the floor and trunk floor to reduce this. Does any one have any sugestions on how to eliminate / reduce...

    Need help picking cai

    I have spent lots of time going through threads only to confuse myself more. I'm looking for a CAI. I have heard that some of the intakes that relocate the filter in the fender can give problems to the MAF because of the bend right before the sensor. I need it to be "50 states legal" as I live...

    I'm going to have this vehicle for a really long time and figured a nice repair manual would be a great idea. What is the best manual to get be it disc or book? I'm looking for something as close to the factory dealer shop manual as possible with all the specs and hopefully some wiring diagrams...

    Bleeding convertible top lines

    I did a search and found nothing on this. Does anyone know the correct procedure for bleeding the lines that operate the convertible top? I am in the middle of a rollbar install and noticed one of my lines is very close to the end of it's life (has a damaged section in the middle of the line...

    Custom shifter knobs

    Thought I would mention this because well, it is just really cool. I found this company that can take almost anything as long as it is dry and under 2" long and mold it inside a shifter knob. I sent him a Donald Duck pin and it came out awsome! He even gives you a nice little sleeve to cover the...
