    Repaint of my 03

    I finally decided it is time to repaint my cobra. The car has just over 40k miles but I've always wanted to repaint it due to some sun damage from when I purchased it. I was able to track down a guy who came highly recommended to repaint. Keeping the original Redfire G2 color. To keep costs...

    P0148 troubleshooting

    Checked the codes on the car (03 Cobra) just out of curiosity and saw a P0148. No problems that I can tell. What would cause the code but exhibit no symptoms? Car has intake, exhaust, a VMP dyno tune, and a FPDM wire upgrade. All mods are at least 4 years old and I've never seen this code...

    Teksid, 4v heads, intake, etc

    My last thread was removed and the mods were unresponsive to re-instate it. If the mods have a problem with my thread I ask that you at least respond to my PMs so I do not have to re-create the entire post. All parts are OBO and prefer local pickup. Everything will go to the scrap yard if I...

    Solenoid/relay clicking accompanied by ding

    I've noticed this in my car from time to time but yesterday it happened a lot in one drive. There seems to be a solenoid or a relay thats engaging under the dash on the drivers side, I can hear it click on and off, and whenever it was happening I heard a single ding coming from somewhere. It...

    magnaflow x pipe

    I have a used Magnaflow catted X-Pipe that came off of a 2003 Mustang Cobra. As far as I can tell, it is this x-pipe: http://www.americanmuscle.com/1999-2004-magnaflow-catted-xpipe.html I ran it on my 03 cobra for a few years until I changed to a different x-pipe. When I bought it (used) I...

    backfires with "new" used x pipe

    I had a used magnaflow x pipe on my 2003 cobra for two years and never experienced any backfires. I ran over some metal that dented up the cats so I bought another used magnaflow x pipe from a user on here that looked to be in good shape. I removed the old one and installed the new one and...

    driver door hard to open when jacked up on FLSFCs

    I had MM FLSFCs installed two years ago and I'm not sure if it has been ever since then, or it gradually happened, but whenever I jack the drivers side up on the subframe connector, right at the front where it's welded, the drivers side door gets really hard to open. If I jack the car up on the...

    reverse lockout not working

    So I drove my car in to work today and as I'm leaving the house and getting up to speed I go to shift to 5th and the trans grinds. I was a little unsure of what happened so I attempted again and it went into 5th. Since I know the t56 has a reverse lockout I try it again and sure enough it's...

    M105, M205, Pad combination on 03 cobra

    Detailing 03 redfire cobra, did a few test spots with m105/m205 and orange/white pad combinations. Didn't see much difference between m205 and orange, m105 and orange followed with m205 and white, and m105 and orange. Granted, the car is pretty scratch free, but the minor water spots and light...

    gas pedal broke

    I broke the metal part of the gas pedal assembly (the metal kind of twisted sideways so my pedal is crooked now). Is this part replaceable by itself? If so, where would I get one? I need the piece that is like this (but obviously for an 03 cobra) Mustang LX GT Cobra 2 3 5 0 Throttle Gas...

    got the car tuned by Justin (VMP)

    Went to MIR for the NMRA Nationals on Friday. Met some cool guys (Zach, Garrett, and someone with a mystichrome cobra, I forget your name dude!) Got my car tuned by Justin on the dyno. Car has JLT cold air intake, mangaflow x pipe, and magnaflow catback. That's it, as far as performance...

    Hard to get in 2nd when cold

    I only noticed this somewhat recently (the start of this winter). When the car is cold, it grinds a tiny bit going in to 2nd gear unless I'm really slow with it. As soon as the car has been moving for a minute or so and get's some heat in it, 2nd works fine. I have Amsoil ATF in there right...

    datalog on cobra

    I don't have the datalog to post up, but I just wanted to ask a few questions regarding it. When the car was warmed up, I did a 3rd gear pull from 1750 rpm to redline. Here is the overview of the log: Load peaked at 1.65 under full throttle STFTs went to 0.8125, both banks, once full...

    strange noise when idle rpms drop after getting tune

    I got a tune awhile ago, but never got around to posting about this. The car runs great. I'm just curious more than anything. If I start the car cold, it'll go like normal for a few seconds, and then it sounds like something engages, and the RPMs drop, and sound almost like a hum comes on...

    Car chimes after starting

    So, this only started happening recently as far as I can tell. And it doesn't seem to happen every time. But I'll start my 03 coupe and shortly after I hear a simple chime, kind of like a seat belt chime. It only dings once and then that's it. Anyone ever encounter this? All of the gauges...

    water filtration or some kind of blow dryer

    I'm trying to keep water spots off of my cobra. I am considering either getting a water filtration system like the CR spotless water system, or something like the master blaster. I have well water, just FYI. Which would be better at eliminating water spots and better for the car overall? Thanks!

    rear calipers

    Is there a difference between the rear calipers on a 03/04 cobra and lets say a 99-04 GT or V6? Not talking about the hoses or anything, just the actual caliper itself

    15" bogart wheels on IRS

    I had to do grinding on three parts to get the 15" wheels to fit (unsure of backspacing) Caliper mount - had to grind both edges down so it's not a 90 degree angle, but more of a sloped surface Caliper edge - had to grind the edge of the caliper down so it's sloped as well Tie rod mount...

    first quarter mile runs with cobra

    Went to the strip last night. First time at this dragstrip with the cobra. I went to a different eighth mile last year and was cutting 1.9 and 2.0 60 fts on street tires completely stock. I think the prep last night sucked compared to that. I cut two 2.24 60fts, terrible. Was getting a little...
