. I think it’s telling me something. 
Cheap solution to avoid flat spots during winter storage. Pink insulation foam: $20. Hopefully it will do the trick.
That's a good idea. I'm gonna try that with some extra insulation I have lying around.
They really look great. I saw the pic and was thinking how good they looked. Then I scroll down and I see that I'm not alone in liking them.
Not my car but spent the last 2 days working on a good friends newest purchase. Giving the paint some needed attention.

Man, I love black, but I hate keeping it clean.
How do you like that lift? Stability and height - wise.

Cleaned up nice and yes black is a full time job.....ask me how I know lol.
Finally got the ATI balancer on as well as the coolant tank. Next is to finish the coolant and fuel system routing.

^^^sweet. Never driven a stock T56 cobra but the magnum supposedly shifts way better. I'm very pleased with mine.

My T56 was a huge POS right from the day I got it. When upshifting, the shifter would stop dead in neutral for a few tenths of a second before slipping into the next gear. No grinding or other drama, just complete lockout for a moment. The higher the RPM the worse it got. It also would never downshift from 6th to 5th. I tried various fluids with no improvement. My Centerforce clutch was also junk(very heavy pedal) so maybe it played a role too.
The previous owner claimed it was a RSG Tranzilla but I've disassembled it and the only upgrades I see are a steel 3-4 shift fork and billet shift keys in the 5-6 synchro, 1-4 are stock...lol!
1st gear engagement teeth are destroyed and the other gears look to be salvageable. The blocking rings and cones are in good shape. I'll probably rebuild it for the learning experience and sell it.

hudsonfalcon, was going to pm you this, but it seems like there are so many fans of these wheels here that it's probably be best just to inquire ...
can you give us the specs on this wheel setup? xxr560's
- are they 18's? what are the widths front and back? and what tire sizes are you are running?
- are you still on irs? what is the wheel bs/offset?
- do you have lowering springs? any interference/rubbing at all front or back?
sorry so many questions, but thanks for any info! cheers
No problem my friend, happy to answer your questions. Specs are as follows:
Wheels:
XXR 560's in Chromium Black (I.E. hyper black)
Fronts:
18x8.5 +20 wrapped in Nitto 555's 245/45/ZR18
Rears:
18x10 +20 wrapped in Continental Extreme Contact Sports 295/35/ZR18
I'm still on stock IRS.
I'm lowered on Eibach Pro-Kit Springs with all ISO's in.
I get the slightest bit of rubbing in the front on full lock but it's really a non-issue. I'm confident I would not have any rubbing at all if I had a shorter sidewall.
No rubbing issues whatsoever in the back.
I have hubcentric rings all around to keep things nice and tight.
I think they're a great bang for your buck wheel. I rocked them on my Evo X for over four years as well and never had any issues.
Honestly, one of the hottest looking wheels I've seen on a Cobra. There's always been a handful of wheels we all seem to like and then there's some new sets that folks might try and they just don't work.
These work!

i ordered my new clutch. decided to get the mcleod street extreme. it's more clutch than i need right now, but i'd rather not smoke the super street pro.
couldn't justify paying 50% more for the rst.

I took it for a nice drive to the gym this morning. I then took my fiancé to dinner in it this evening and this happened.....
Damn

It was 63 degrees in milwaukee, wisconsin today so took the cobra out for one last ride and detailed the interior more!

Replaced the trunk lift struts. It's nice not to have to worry about the trunk lid smacking me on the head.
