Haven't posted here in a while, but I'm back :) I've been putting BFG KDWs on my front and rear for a while now, but I notice they wear a bit fast and are getting a little expensive - I don't need extreme performance, looking for something that will last a little longer and cost a little...

Post pictures of your Radar Detector mounted, or describe your setup... I'm about two seconds away from buying either an Escort X50 or V1, but want to see what options I have for mounting without needing to modify my car at all, and how it will look. Have at it, post your pretty pictures, or...

eh, delete this thread please :(

So, when's our next dyno day? I'd do it alone, but it's more fun with a group ;) Wanna see what the intake/exhaust has me at before I put the pulley/chip on! ~Berj

Works like a charm! Before the install, with my stock quadrant, without adjustment, my clutch pedal was floppy and pretty far down, and wouldn't fully disengage the clutch unless i pushed it HARD into the floor. After adjusting it it was stiffer and higher up, but I needed to re-adjust it...

Ok, so I have some questions for you all... It seems my clutch doesn't FULLY disengage until the pedal is *all* the way to the floor... I tested this by keeping the car level, fully depressing the pedal, giving it some gas (car didn't move at all)... then slowly lifting it up while revving to...

1) If you schedule an appointment for a certain time, do everything in your power to keep the appointment - especially if you know the other person is going way out of their way to meet you at said time. 2) If for some reason you can't keep the appointment, offer an explanation and keep the...

So - is it ok to Engine Brake, or not? Assume the downshifts are smooth (double clutching.) If it has a NEGATIVE effect on the engine, then it's not OK to do... trading engine internals for brake pads is no question - I'd rather replace the brakes. However, I've not only heard it's not bad...

For my previous car, I went to XTC way down in aliso viejo... $260 out the door for bare MM full length subs welded on + painted. *EDIT* I was happy with the job done, but it's an hour drive from here to there, so I was looking for a place closer to me *EDIT* I called B&D, they quoted me...

I look forward to the day when Asimov's vision in Foundation's Edge is realized, when the one-consciousness, Gaia, is awakened. When we share eachothers thoughts and feelings not because we think and act as one but because we ARE one, humans will have truly taken the "next evolutionary step."...

I just got the Stinger installed on my car, with the stock H pipe. First, the looks. You've all seen them, 4" rolled angle-cut, beautiful =) The sound: At idle, just over 500 rpm, the car is EXTREMELY quiet. The first time I stopped at a light, I thought I stalled. At the 1000 rpm...

harry gilbert asked a very interesting question in this thread: Could the differences in power between various Cobras be caused by the TB blade not opening completely at WOT - could the gas pedal be hitting the floor before this happens? I remember someone suggesting "taking out the mat" at...

Windex + cotton towel? + paper towel? Anyone have a good (and hopefully not too expensive) suggestion for a "wipes" type window cleaning product - one that has pre-moistened wipes in a box or something? Those things are convenient :) If not, what product is best to wipe windows with...

Well, first of all, my MGW handle's busted =/ I need to call them up tomorrow and get it replaced or something - it's barely two months old, and I can no longer adjust the top piece. It's *extremely* difficult to rotate or pull out or push in, and it only goes a bit each way before it gets...

Between the 5 and the 101, around 3:15 pm on Friday, 10/3... showed a peace sign out the driver window, he did the same (through the rear window), but I had to exit Victory soon as we saw eachother. Any of you? =P (And I realize I'm talking to like .01% of all socal cobras, hehe.) ~Berj

I was telling a friend how you increase the boost on a supercharger (change the pulley) and he says: "or they can hook it up to a mini-transmission =p" people would ask: "hey, what are those other pedals and that other shifter for?" :dw: "my clutch and stick for my supercharger...

What's the best (safest?) way to do one? Low speed, dis-engage clutch, gas + drop clutch and maintain RPMs seems to work somewhat, but you get mild hop, and there's nothing preventing the car from accelerating. Would a mild application of brakes work? Any suggestions? ~Berj

Not too loud yet, but definitely loud enough to hear. Damn =( How long should I wait before taking it to the dealer for the swap? ~Berj

I'm outa here - Northridge mall... normally 10$, but we have some kinda group coupon. Sooo hungry. :beer: ~Berj

http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56510 Got it for 28,965 + ttl from power ford, tustin. I pick it up Tuesday - exact same car (dsg coupe, alloy rims.) Woot!!!! ~Berj btw, sorry to Tetge for the thread subject =P

I just signed the paperwork on a 2003 DSG Coupe... one of 9 left in all of California! And, I got a sweet deal on it... all told, 28,965 + ttl - that's sticker (35,065) - 3600 dealer cash - 2500 ford rebate (goes towards down payment.) I pick it up on Tuesday - it had a very small scratch on...

So... I'm hunting for a new 2003 cobra coupe. IS THERE or ISN'T THERE a $2500 rebate offer on the SVT Cobra? The dealership I went to told me there wasn't, and Edmunds says there isn't, but I read on here that there was... Also, I know the invoice price is ~32,600 and the holdback is...

It was definitely the most terrifying moment of my life, and I'm lucky to be alive. I was hit by a car going over 60 at at a slight angle from the side - if my car was a few feet forward or the other driver a few feet to the right, I'd have been hit right on the driver side door... I won't...

I was considering buying an adapter and 12" filter, but that means I'd need to fabricate my own heat shield - does anyone sell a kit that comes with the heat shield (and doesn't cost $200) or does anyone sell JUST a heat shield? Looking for a good quality heat shield too... :beer: ~Berj
