    Head Gasket replacment help.

    I'm about to try to replace the head gasket on my 99 cobra. The shop is going to give me a price on Monday but I've pretty much decided to try to tackle it on my own. I've read about a tool that will lock the cam in place for when I remove the timing chains but haven't found out where to get...

    Coilover questions

    Can someone give me a quick explanation of what a coilover is? I'm trying to understand the benefits of them over just replacing the shocks and struts.

    What octane do you run in your cobra?

    I'm thinking about buying a new edge cobra and am wondering what to expect to run as far as gas goes. I'm coming off a foxbody that would run on anything :) so I don't know what to expect. Do you guy run 93 or 89 or the cheap stuff 87(I like the last one)?

    I am looking into buying a 99 cobra sometime soon. Can you guys give me some things to specifically look for when buying one. I just sold my Foxbody and wished I knew more before I bought it. Loved the car but I kinda bought it uneducated and got ripped on a few things. Now if I were to...

    Windshield wipers won't stop.

    I swear. I planned on selling the car and now everything is going south on her. I might have to keep it just to keep it running good. The other day I was driving in the rain. When the rain stopped I turned the wipers off only to watch them continue to run. I can't change the speed or...

    Car on Jacks: Wheel movement on front tires

    I was changing the tires/rims on my car and noticed the front passenger side tire can be moved right and left when I push on the sides. I've always heard if the tire can be moved in and out by pressing the top and bottom then it needs tie rods. I get no movement when pushing the top and bottom...

    New wheels = exhaust and center cap problem

    I just put on some 4 lug 03 cobra (looking) wheels. The problem is that the back tire (passenger side) rubs on the tailpipe. I can push the pipe over but it just comes back against the tire. Any way to move it and keep it over or should I just pull it off and put some dumps on it? Also...

    Check this auction on tires...need advice:

    I need new tires for my car. This is an auction that has already ended but I'm talking with the guy about meeting up and buying them. Questions: 1. Should I be concerned about dry rot (they've sat for a year)? 2. Any news on "Grand Turbo" tires? 3. Can you educate me on the different...

    the title should say "come on in" I just got my car back from the mechanic today. They installed a new clutch in the car and I found out my transmission is from an 84. They also had to have the disc set custom built because they were having trouble getting things to fit. Now when I try to...

    84 tranny in an 88 car?

    I have an 88 mustang that I bought a couple of years ago. The guy before me changed it from an auto to a manual. I took it to the mechanic yesterday to get a clutch put in and he called me today and said that the tranny is from a 84 and it has a different size clutch disc (I think he said 10...

    Trac Lok on an 03 Cobra

    Is the trac lok clutches any different in the 03-04 cobra compared to the mustangs before them? I've heard of someone putting 03 cobra clutches in an older mustang trac lok for better durability.

    Should I buy a brand new a/c system?

    I had my system converted to R134 two months ago. After a month of nice cold air one of the liquid lines busted loose. I had it put back together (and paid another $180:notnice: ) and started asking why it happened and why I had to pay. The mechanic told me that the hose broke free b/c it was...

    Converted A/C quit...check out pics.

    I just had the a/c converted about a month ago. Today I started the car and heard a loud pop and a release of pressure under the hood (behind the dash). I drove home and didn't have a/c. When I popped the hood there was antifreeze all over the passenger side of the engine and I found that...

    My new overflow bottle looks huge....pics inside.

    I just ordered it off Ebay and now I don't know how to get it in the car. I bought the car without it about 1 1/2 years ago. Now with the a/c installed I want to make sure I don't overheat the car. Check out these pics. This thing is HUGE. Is it the right size? The car has a Ford Racing...

    Lets talk about a clutch install:

    My clutch is slipping so I'm looking into replacing it. I've been reading up on it and have come down to a few questions: 1. How hard is it to change a clutch (especially with just one person)? I'll have two jacks (one for the engine and one for the transmission) and I've done my share of...

    Rebuild Trac lok or buy new differential?

    The car is stock except for full exhaust. I'm going to be putting in 3.73 some time soon and I'm wondering about my Trac lok. I only get one mark when spinning the wheels but if I jack the car up and spin one wheel the other spins too. I'm assuming it needs a rebuild. Is it worth...

    Could this be a starter problem?

    My car has been having problems starting. Here are the problems: Jan. 1, 2007 my car wouldn't start back up when I went to the gas station. I'd turn the key and get a click (one). Then I would have no power (no lights or anything). I took the battery in and it checked out. I then put a...
