Welcome to SVTperformance.com You might post this up in the Cobra R forum Im sure they and myself included would like to hear more about what you have done to your R. :burnout:
I AM NEW AT THIS COMPUTER GIZZMO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO POST THIS ON MY BEHALF WHERE YOU THINK IT SHOULD BE
Moved for you.
FYI: Typing all in caps means you're yelling. :rockon:
thank you for moving it sorry i was yelling it must be the new flow master exhaust we are running
You installed flowmasters? What did you do with the stock exhaust? Did you just swap out the mufflers or the entire catback?
Welcome aboard!!! Glad to hear you are making some noise down in NZ.
original motor was used to do the first 11500 race miles sean hyland built me an alliuminium 6 liter short block and we are putting original on this block should reduse wieght and increase hp to 520 hp original engine was still very strong just finished 2000 mile 5 day rally 6th outright 200 starters

yes no 217 i bought brand new from downs ford it has been extensivlly modified and raced
Do you have any pictures you could share with us and also would you care to share the reason why you chose a real Cobra R vs just building a replica? Just wondering as not many people race real R's so it's always interesting to hear why.........

dear mark we choose to race a genuine r because this is what ford built them for we have had a lot of fun doing this more fun than i would have got looking at it in a shed.maybe in a few years with race history it might be woryth more than a standard one. have many photos not sure how to put on here maybe you can tell me
Way to use the car for what it was built for. :thumbsup:
Where in NZ are you? My mother and sister are from Christchurch. Do you street drive it as well? I'll bet you'd have a blast letting the exhaust echo off all those beautiful green hills down there.
