    Coil-over setup questions

    So in the end I want to have a street machine...either turbo or bigger twin screw(about 700rwhp eventually) but I also want the car to handle as well as possible and have an awesome stance so a coil-over setup seems to be the way to go. 1.) I want to go straight axle one day, if I do a...

    Cop barged in

    So I was at a party at an apartment last night and of course it started with noise complaint. So the cop shows up and my friend cracks the door and immediately says "I'll talk to you in the hallway." The cop then proceeded to literally put his hand on my friends chest and push him out of the way...

    Keeping torque up

    So I seem to two things of turbo cobras. One, the torque is a good deal lower than the horsepower and the other is the torque is actually higher than the horsepower. Now I know on turbo cars, they typically make more horsepower than torque, so what is the "secret" or key to keeping the torque in...

    Pulled over on assumption

    Well it's pretty obvious a cobra with an o/r x-pipe and borla stingers is loud, but not when cruising at 1700rpm. I was given an exhaust ticket for exactly that and told that anything that wasn't stock is illegal. Well how did the officer know my exhaust wasn't stock, it's a 500hp cobra of...

    Hood for 3.4 whipple

    I was going to change out my hood for a 2.5" 95' cobra r hood because my car got hit in the front. This hood would be necessary if I were to put a 3.4 in the car down the road a little wouldn't it? As in, I wouldn't be able to keep the stock hood if I wanted a 3.4 whipple

    My cobra took in driveway hit to the front yesterday and ruined the hood so I wanted to replace it with a 1995 cobra r hood. It seems that Cervinis is the best kind to get but I would like others opinions and would like to know where the best place to order it from would be?

    Chrome 03 rims

    How much would my used 03 chrome rims be worth, they've got about 45000 miles on them and are in okay condition? Just a general estimate would be nice, I just don't want to let them go for too little

    Coil-over setup

    I eventually wanted to go coil-over with my Cobra and was wondering is it just a straight conversion where I could use something like this:Coil-Over Package, 1999-04 Mustang, IRS [COP-53] : Maximum Motorsports, the Latemodel Mustang Performance Suspension Leader! I mean is this just a straight...

    Seafoam...confused?

    So I've searched about using seafoam in my 03 cobra and I see people talking about sucking it through the intake and putting it in the oil but all I want to do is put it in my gas tank and just let it clean that way, no way I'm putting it in my oil. From what I read that seems to be fine for our...

    Transmission fluid

    I haven't been around on the forum recently and I'm about to change my transmission fluid(stock T-56) and was wondering what is now regarded as the best oil for it, or any new ones that look promising? Also, how much is needed to refill it?

    Lightning rear end

    I believe the Lightnings have a 9" read end instead of an 8.8" so why do I never see any high powered Cobra with the 9", can the 8.8 be built just as strong for cheaper that the 9?

    Possible engine rebuild

    I've developed a tapping noise that seems to be coming from the front of the engine and it revs with the engine. I don't have a video clip but it sounds like rod knock except not as loud. The car has 77k on it and my dad thinks it may be the water pump so I was just wondering if our cars are...

    305/30/18 tires???

    Well I really want NT05s but they only go up to a 295, but I hear they're an awesome tire. What are some good tires that have a 305 size and they can't be drag radials as my car is driven everyday. I'm pretty hellbent on the 305 but if someone could really vouch for the NT05s I'll get them, I'm...

    Presenting ID in Virginia

    I know that in some states, residents are obligated if asked to present identification if asked by the police or so I've heard, but recently on my campus cops have been asking people to present their ID's while all they are doing is walking on the street doing nothing wrong. I wanted to know...

    Turbo torque?

    A couple years from now I want to turbo with my cobra and so I'm just starting to do research on them. I realize that more power is capable with twins, but do the twins or a single make more torque, or is there not really much of a difference? Regardless, with either I plan on running a small...

    Not consenting

    So when officers pull someone over and feel the need to search the car, most people comply because they don't know they can say no or think they'll get in more trouble. But...I was wondering if any officers still do it anyway even if the person says no or if it makes officers mad when someone...

    Fastlane Motorsports

    Well I recently had to have my drivers side head removed for some work by Fastlane and now I have another noise that seems to be coming from that same side. How should I go about getting them to check it out without having to spend a lot of money or do you guys think they'll keep up to the high...

    So I recently got my car back from Fastlane after having my spark plug problem fixed, they took the head off to fix it and put it back together. Now I've noticed my car has another ticking noise that's coming from the back of the engine but, it has a different pitch to it than my spark plug...

    Thinking about coilovers

    I was looking around and got the idea that I wanted to start doing some suspension mods to my car. I was thinking I'd start in the front for the weight savings and do tubular k-member, coilovers, and tubular a-arms. Anyone have any pics of the stance of a cobra with coilovers and suggestions on...

    BANG and flashing CEL

    Well I was driving normally today and in first at 3000rpm and I hear a bang, the car looses power, and the CEL starts flashing at me. I promptly kill the ignition and drift into a parking lot(why can't prius owners learn this). I check the codes and nothing new that I don't know I have(no cats)...

    M55 muffler

    I've found a picture of the inside of the muffler and it seems to be just a straight pipe, but what is in the big hollow part of the muffler and where are the openings for some of the exhaust to get to the big hollow part?
