I'm driving 2 hours to see it, and if I like it I'll be taking it home with me. Anyone have a checklist of common problems I should be looking at? Thanks.
Looking at an '01 Tuesday, any tips

- Start date
Pay attention to how the each gear change feels. The 3650's syncos dont take beating that well.
Alright, cool. I'll look for both of those for sure.
Well, I ended up getting it after all. It's not perfect, but I can deal with that for the price. I have a few more questions, though. First, apparently the fog lights have been discontinued by Ford, so do you guys know of anywhere I can get them or a decent aftermarket solution> second, there's a clunking noise sometimes when I release the clutch and put it into gear. Any idea what's causing it?
The fact that it's a cobra equipped with IRS...
Congrats on the new car btw. Get some pics posted.
I'll take some as soon as I get it detailed, hopefully in a day or two. Thanks for relieving one of my worries.
Congrats man :beer:
How many miles on it? Congrats the IRS gets alot of slop like the old 9 inch rearends do.
76,000 miles. Not bad for 10 years.
All parts are discontinued after 10 years. So now your on the aftermarket action lol. A few decent sites, the more reasonably priced is AmericanMuscle.com you can also check out LethalPerformance.com and another one thats coming more into play is LateModelRestoration.com. You could also call to your local junk/salvage yards regularly to see what if they gotten any in, then you can go raid them lol. I've had no such luck yet though.
Congrats on the car, welcome to the Cobra forums.

Ah, so I bought it at the perfect time! I'll check out those sites, would they also have a cobra emblem for the grill area? I'm needing one of those as well.
Congrats on the purchase. I picked mine up from ebay.
The grill emblem is pretty common. Almost all the aftermarket suppliers carry them.
Awesome, thanks.
The "clunk" you hear on shifting is the rear differential bushings - two on the lower part of the pumpkin (easy to replace) and the third one is on the rear side and is NOT easy to replace but is the one that needs to be replaced. You do have to drop the pumpkin to do it. Replace with delrin or, like I did, with poly - no more clunk. The IRS subframe bushings also need to be replaced with poly and the correct 14mm front bolts, which Ford did NOT install.
Good luck. Mine has 65,000 miles on it.

Well, crap. How much will that run me?
Anyone have a recommendation for a good short throw shifter? I miss the one on my old car.
MGW all the way. Best one on the market
