Well I'm not new to the forum, but New the New Edge forum. I just got my 99 Cobra a week ago:banana:. I got a great price on the car, but I did have to drive 27 hours for it. I flew out to Salt Lake City Utah and drove it back to Lansing Michigan. That was probably the worse drive that I've done in a while. In the end it was well worth it. I'm just glad I made it home.

73000 miles
Eaton Swap:burnout:
Mac long tubes, x-pipe, and exhaust
A few other mods here and there

Al

Here are a few pics from the trip back home.:beer:

Nice Ride! Pretty wild to buy a car and drive 27hrs back! Take some pics of the engine, what other mods does it have?

Welcome to the most dysfunctional group of SVT owners you will ever meet. Our internal arguing is only matched by the ego's of the Terminator owners.

Nice.

But damm, now I have to watch your ass in here too.:poke:

Yeah I know.. But hey someones got to do it.

Welcome ! I drove from Cleveland Ohio to Greensboro NC once in december and that was hairy , yours was worse. Did you have a co-pilot?

Thats what sucked. I had no co-pilot! Let me tell it sucks driving through Wyoming. Once I got into Nebraska it wasn't that bad.

Welcome and here are some tips

#1 Check your oil level

#2 Eaton swap for your Cobra
03-04 Eaton blower on 99&01 - SVTPerformance

#3 Building your motor for power
New Edge FAQs, Basic Mods and more. - SVTPerformance

#4 Gear 3.73's or 4.10's = 4.30's or 4.56'

Hope this helps

And go ahead an post some pic's of your Cobra

It has 4.10's right now. For my daily I think that'll work out just fine.

As you can see we have GREAT weather here in Michigan! So great that the damn car got stuck right before I made it into the garage. I was actually standing in the garage when I took these pictures. Oh well, I'm just glad that I have the car at my house.:beer:

did you sell the 96?

No. I'm keeping the 96 forever:beer:. I just couldn't drive it everyday (drag suspension and MT slicks), and driving a V10 F250 everyday is just a pain in the ass.

Oh and driving my 96 with slicks in rain:cuss: was worse then driving the 99 on Ice in Wyoming:lol1:.

So is the 99 your new DD or do you have another car in the stable?

Definitely, I have an Acura Integra but that just doesn't cut it (I'm probably going to get rid of it). I'm 6ft 210 and it just doesn't feel right in a 4 cylinder car:eek:.

Beautiful car, loving the engine with the eaton. Do you have a spare Cobra :D. So did you put the eaton or did it come like that?
