Just curious how many of you are still using the OEM tires. I have 12k miles on the original Goodyears. There's maybe 5k left in them. The outside edges seem to wear fastest...maybe that's from cutting corners :-D

I'm an idiot. Yesterday I was out with the Cobra in unfamiliar territory and I cut an apex too tight...caught the curb with the lip of the right rear and bent it. When I got home, I pounded out the lip using a hammer and a 3/8" extension wrapped in duct tape. Then I polished the abrasion...

I was in the Cobra on my way to a wedding last Saturday afternoon. I was heading North on the 210 between Pasadena and the 118. I came across an S4 that wanted to test the machinery. We started from a 100 mph roll....by 120 the Cobra was about 1 car length ahead...by 140 the Cobra had...

LOL...I'm getting a 1990 Integra...4-door 5-speed with 64k miles. It belonged to my parents who are giving it to me since they bought a new car. The Integra must get 26+ mpg...and my gas bill was $600 last month for my Lightning...g/f lives 120 miles away, but she's worth it...

Saturday I was on a car cruise with my g/f's exotic car club. The car in front of me lost control due to driver error and slid down an 8' embankment and rolled over twice before coming to a rest. The car was demolished and the driver was bleeding from the head and slipping out of...

I had a party and my g/f invited her Lotus club. In this picture is one Gallardo and four Elises. Of course, the two most powerful cars are my blown/stroked foxbody and my '03 Cobra (lurking in the garage). :thumbsup:

I was on a freeway in San Diego following behind my g/f. I was in my '94 Lightning, and she was in her brand new Elise. Before you flame...I knew the outcome was going to be obvious, but it was great fun nonetheless. She took a transition curve kinda hard expecting to lose me...but she...

Just that...looking for a set of 50lb. injectors for my Foxbody. Any recommendations are appreciated.

I was there. I was impressed. Last night at Irwindale Speedway X2C ran their 868 RWHP Cobra. It ran one 1/8 mile pass...6.1x (it was hard to see the board). According to Dean, the X2C employee, this car runs the full quarter in mid-nines. The car's equipped with a big turbo, 150 lb...

A friend sent me this link. It's for a test article comparing the Mach vs. GTO. To cut to the chase, the Mach ran a 13.4x and the GTO a 13.5x. http://www.highperformancepontiac.com/features/0407pon_gtotest/ Enjoy! Russ

Most hood liners have water spot damage from washing the vehicle. Well, I found a way to make the liner look "like new". I bought a can of SEM carper/vinyl dye in Landau Black for $8.50 at an upholstery shop. I removed the liner by gently pulling on fasteners to avoid breakage. I leaned...

I also posted this in the Terminator forum...My friend's Mach1 had it's warranty voided because the rep found MM&FF in the car and said that it provided sufficient evidence that the vehicle was raced and/or abused... Ok, that's not entirely true, but my buddy did get his warranty claim denied...

My friend's Mach1 had it's warranty voided because the rep found MM&FF in the car and said that it provided sufficient evidence that the vehicle was raced and/or abused... Ok, that's not entirely true, but my buddy did get his warranty claim denied for a bad wheel stud (couldn't remove the...

What are people doing to clean the underhood grime? I'm going to a car show (Fabulous Fords Forever/Knott's Berry Farm) and wanted to know how to detail the engine. Something tells me a high-pressure hose isn't a good idea...

We've all seen the polls for "what is your age" or "what is your income." I thought it would be interesting to see what our abilities are. Your answers don't have to be limited to working on Cobras only. As for me, I have a lot of mechanic friends and I own/modify a few Fords. So I'm...

How much mileage must a Cobra have when you can finally say that it's safe from the Tick (or probably won't get it)? My car has 6,000 miles and no tick. But I listen for it every time I drive. Sometimes I think I hear it, but I know it's not really there.

Today I went from Motorcraft to Mobil 1 full synthetic. Strangely, the car feels noticeably stronger by the SOTP. It breaks traction in second much easier now. Throttle response feels better too. I know that synthetic oils increase power, but I always figured that was dyno power and...

Just got back from the Dyno. I think the results are a little weak. Dyno results were 413 rwhp and 410 rwt. Stock power on the same dyno was 380 rwhp and 360 rwt. Mods are a 2.93 pulley and CAI. I'm using the Predator with 6% timing retard (91 octane gas in CA). I really have no...

Hey Gang - this site has files of exhaust sounds for Modulars and Windsors. It's cool. http://www.mustangexhaust.com/sounds.htm

I need your guys' advice... I'm getting a Lightning pulley (no cost). After doing a search on this board, I've learned that there could be slippage without idlers. My question is -- how bad will the slippage be? I know it's a PITA to swap pulleys, so should I just order the Reichard...

Hey Gang, Just to give you a heads up on an upcoming cruise around early November. This is going to be an awesome route. We'll depart from the shopping center off of Valley Circle and the 101. The route winds through the Santa Monica Mountains along famous streets like Mullholland. We...

I've got pal from the Lightning club who's selling a 4 pound Metco crank pulley. Anyone know if this will fit an '03 Cobra? TIA

If you're ordering with Summit and give them code n54102, you'll receive a 10% discount. Unfortunately, the code expires on August 7. I just ordered the K&N Air Charger (cold air kit) which was a total of $145 incl. shipping. The Air Charger is the same as the "FIPK" without smog...

Last night when I got home there was a recent issue of 5.0 performance on my pillow. It's opened to the shootout article with JDM's 10 second '03. My wife says "I was reading your magazine and I see that it doesn't take much to make your car faster, like pullies or something...is that what...
