My transmission has been on borrowed time for a while now at the power level and mileage my Cobra is at and after beating on it last weekend, I’ve got tranny fluid on the garage floor. I think it’s an input shaft seal gone bad, but at any rate it’s time for some work. The question is, should I...

I'm a recent victim of the supply chain crisis America can't seem to get itself out of! Back in September, I crawled underneath my 2010 Raptor to change the oil and noticed grease all over the driver's side wheel well. Upon further investigation, I found the boot for the halfshaft was shredded...

I'm running a 4 pound lower/2.7 upper pulley combo and subsequently switched the stock alternator pulley for a 3.2" Metco a few years ago. Because of a dumbass mistake mentioned in a separate thread, I fried my alternator this weekend and need to replace it. I remember that when I replaced the...

My Odyssey went tits up so I got a new one the other day. This morning, I decided to install it. I hooked up the positive cable and tightened it down. As soon as I touched the negative cable to the terminal, smoke started coming from the alternator. The original Odyssey was a PC680, the one that...

Yep, got nailed doing 90 in a 60 in NC. I went online to pay the ticket and found out that I have a mandatory court appearance. Within a week after receiving the ticket, I was bombarded with mailed advertisements from attorneys in the area stating they can get me out of the ticket or get the...

I have an Odyssey PC680 for my Cobra, but I haven’t found a great way to connect it and mount it yet. If you have one, you know it doesn’t have posts like a normal battery so you have to modify the existing connectors or use something else. I need some pictures of connections and mounts from...

My TOB started chirping after my clutch cable popped off the quadrant during a pass so I’m going to replace it. I’ve got a Lethal sleeve in there, but should I replace it at the same time? They’re supposed to be pretty stout, but I wasn’t sure if it’s one of those things that should be done as a...

I’m getting ready for my fifth 1/2 Mile race in my ‘03 Vert and I’m mulling over changing pulley setups. Is there an optimal pulley combo for this type of racing? Right now I’m running a 2.7” upper with 4pound lower and Metco idlers making 485/512, which I know is pushing the blower way past...

It’s time for a new battery and I wanted I gather some opinions on race/lightweight batteries. I drive my Cobra about twice a month and do 1/2 mile races twice a year...cutting weight= faster. What are the pro’s and con’s associated with them?

I’ve got to drop the transmission due to a chirping TOB and I’m also going to get it rebuilt with some upgraded parts. The clutch (Spec 3), has about 10,000 miles on it. I beat on the car a lot, so the question is, should I go ahead and buy a replacement disc?

Setup: FRPP TOB, Lethal sleeve, Steeda Quadrant and firewall adjuster. Situation: About 12-15,000 miles on everything, driven hard, while on a 1/2 mile run at Georgia’s last WannaGoFast event, the clutch cable came loose from the quadrant while power shifting from 3rd to 4th. Symptom: I’ve...

Anybody going/running at the 1/2 mile event in Clayton, GA tomorrow? I'll be running my black '03 convertible again. Stop by and say hello if you're there!

Since getting a company car as a DD, I've only been driving the Cobra a couple times a month. After this last Wannagofast 1/2 mile event, it sat for a couple of weeks before I had a chance to drive it again. When I started it, there was a rattle that lasted for 1-2 seconds and then everything...

My stock battery tray needs to be replaced. What's available in the way of Terminator-specific trick looking trays/boxes that keep the battery in the engine compartment. Post pictures with your recommendations if you have them. Thanks!

Here I am again...registered for a 1/2 mile race in a month and no money to make the car faster. We just moved into a newly built house and need a ton of new stuff so it's hard to justify spending a few grand on a Whipple to the wife. I installed a Snow Performance kit before last year's race...

My wife and I are building a house that will probably be our "forever" home. Because of that, I'm making the garage friendly for my car projects. It's an oversized 3-car garage with 11.5 foot ceilings. The floor is 4.5 inches of 3000 PSI concrete with .5 inch rebar reinforcing, except where the...

I've battled belt chirp since installing a Metco Lower Pulley kit a couple of years ago. It's come and gone with nothing in particular making it stop. A few hundred miles ago, it shredded a belt. I put a new one on and it shredded within a 100 miles. I think I've been through 3 or 4 in the past...

A TVS or Whipple is finally in the not so distant future along with some fuel system upgrades, but it also occurred to me that it might be time to rebuild the transmission since it's got 88K miles worth of abuse on it. How many of you with over 600 RWHP have upgraded? How many haven't and blown...

I currently have a Stegmeier Stage 7 ported Eaton pullied for about 17 PSI. The car has been fun with this setup, but I'm ready for more power. The only problem is, I want to keep the same blower noise level that the ported Eaton gives me. The only thing comparable I've heard is a 2.2 KB, but...

I'm entered to run again at the fall Wannagofast event here in NE GA this weekend...hopefully the weather and the car cooperates! I finally finished up the install on a Snow Performance water/methanol injection kit last night, but something in the pulley system decided to eat the second belt in...

I was originally thinking about putting a 75-100 shot on my Cobra before the 1/2 mile race I'm entered to run in September, but now I'm thinking about a meth kit instead. I figured it would be a cost-effective way of adding some horsepower as well as keeping temps under control as it will still...

I'm looking for a Snow Performance Meth kit for my '03 Cobra. Please PM me if you have something for sale. Thanks!

Question #1: Does anyone know what speed Terminator convertible tops can withstand? I just raced a 1/2 mile event and made it up to 135.5 MPH in my '03 Convertible...I want to go faster, but how much can it take? Question#2: What would be a good nitrous setup for a 1/2mile race? I'm building...

I just wanted to give a shout out to Rick at Metco Motorsports. I met him at the Georgia 1/2 Mile Speed Shootout this past weekend and he's a great guy! Gave me some sound words of wisdom regarding a recurring belt issue I've been having...top notch products and customer service, which is often...

I was lucky enough to make it into the Georgia 1/2 Mile Speed Shootout this weekend and overall, I had a blast. However, during my third run, after I went through the timing beams, I shifted into neutral and hit the brakes...the car instantly died giving me no power to the brakes or steering! I...
