That is the first time I have ever seen an SN-95 Cobra with a front splitter that looks good. Even better it came from a Mach 1 to make it cheap!
My 98 GT 4v track/drift car build thread...

Thank you. Its been a long road with this build. It can make a sharp u turn but having a locked diff doesnt help lol!
Trying to get my stuff together so i can hit the track soon. Its been too long for me as well lol!
Yeah ive always had the idea of doing it and making it work. I got a brand new one from my buddy for my daily and then said screw the daily lets put it on the track car lol! Glad i modified it to fit the cobra bumper.

So a few weeks ago i noticed my grant steering hub had some play in it. Turns out the hub is bad. So i ordered a new hub and quick release from NRG and a new steering wheel from grip royal. Will be posting pix when they come in.
I installed my Hurst handle last week. Having it taller making it easy to grab going from the steering wheel or hand brake to the shifter.
This week i started dismounting my tires from my wheels because i picked up some new wheels for this year.
Picked up STR racing 514 wheels.
The rear
the front
Gonna try to get some more outside in the day light this weekend.

This car is awesome!
I don't know how I managed to miss this thread over the past couple years but it was a great read. I would like to see more videos of the car in action. I find the number of broken parts concerning, seems like any of those failures could put you right into the wall.
Any idea how much you have invested in the car?

Thanks. Im getting a set in gold and white as well. Gonna see how they all look then order the rest of my sets.
Thanks
Well that is a part of it. You need to do alot of testing to make sure you work the bugs out. Ive had alot of issues that have happened but have worked through every single one of them. Not a clue how much. It was a budget build and came out in car craft's august 2011 issue "fast for under 10k" but since then ive invested in getting better stronger parts etc.
So i got my NRG hub and quick release along with my new steering wheel from Grip Royal.
Also got around to installing a big brake kit from Fully Torqed Racing on my DD 96 GT for testing purposes to see if im going to put one on the drift car or not and i must it was ridiculous. The stopping power is insane. Puts the cobra brakes to shame. Even feels better than the cobra R brembo kit ive driven before. Only thing that is an issue is that each rotor is 25lbs. So i will be looking for lighter weight rotors when i do eventually install this kit on the 98 as well.
It uses 14 inch GT500 shelby rotors along with S197 GT calipers. The brackets are offered from Fully Torqed Racing.

Been so busy lately with my Formula Drift team prepping for long beach the past month ive been trying to squeeze time on my own car. Its tough and as they say drifting has ruined my life lol!
Finally got some newer pix of the car with the new wheels outside finally.
More wheels so i have plenty for those longer track days
Did some alignment as well since ive made some adjustments to the suspension.
And checked clearance at full lock
Also installed some new goodies from Carbon Driven.

Looking good
Took the car to fab fords this past weekend. Had a fun time and people loved the car and the loudness lol. It is louder as well reason being i had modified the exhaust to clear my torque arm and avoid getting stuck on the trailer which happened a week ago but i decided to go with a 2 to 1 y pipe for more clearance. But no mufflers, just straight pipe.
