I am beyond jealous of those brembos!!! I need big brakes in my life :burnout:

 

[97CasperCobra]

They will help stopping this beast...
She's still a somewhat heavy girl...tipped the scales at 3,350lbs with stock front leather seats & spare tire.
Weight distribution is 55% front, 45% rear

Also envious of the brakes. Nice update, Mike!

BBK Longtubes
BBK Catted X-pipe
Borla Mufflers
Stock pipes out the back

Keep in mind the shifter boot and rubber insulator are not installed....need to send the MGW to get rebuilt....so a lot of the exterior noise comes up through there.

Awesome build. She sounds great!

 

[SVTORANGE]

AWESOME - Glad to see it working out for the better no doubt

Those brakes are no joke

Hey Casper, I haven't been on this forum in years. Decided to stop in and see what was going on. I remember always loving your car. I'm glad to see you still have it and are doing interesting things with it. Sounds amazing! I now have a nicely set up S2000 and am just finishing a Factory Five Racing Type 65 Coupe build. I sure do miss my cobra though! Keep up the good work!

Well, after spending a few weeks at my friend's shop having him fix/correct other shop's mistakes, I was able to get an alignment done and FINALLY get Casper home!!!!!

A lil red light action....

This engine is amazing...just when you think it's pulling she pulls even more. I can not wait to get it tuned and see what she's putting to the wheels.

Back to updating this thread....

The Cobra has been at a friend's house for about a month getting some work done. He's a close friend who I have known for years who is now a mechanic and I've known his dad for years who has had plenty of Cobras and now has a pretty amazing '14 Shelby.

List of things he is doing....
- Installing Sparco EvoII driver's seat
- Installing Schroth Racing Profi II 6pt Camlock harness
- Getting coolant gauge to work properly - COMPLETE
- Getting oil pressure to work properly - COMPLETE
- Getting speedo & RPMs to work properly
- Fix the dying issue when vehicle comes to a stop

UPDATE: Ordered a stock 1997 engine wiring harness and transmission harness due to the fact the original shop who did the install hacked up the original harness and didn't get back what wiring they removed. Hoping this is the last piece of the puzzle to get this car on the road and driveable on a daily basis if needed.....at least on nice weekends.

Done this swap a few times already and used this as a fix besides getting a tune. Are you running a t45 still?
