    Cobra rear brake question

    On my '93 Cobra, I want to upgrade to the later model cobra rear brakes. Currently, it still has the stock varga calipers and has a 5 lug upgrade. I just want to know what all I need to upgrade. I don't imagine the brackets I have on there now will work, so I'd have to probably get a set...

    I know I dont' post here, but thought somebody might want to check out the hp and tq numbers on the Ford Mustang SVT Cobra Wikipedia page for the 03 Cobra... Ford Mustang SVT Cobra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (I posted this in svt talk also, but doesn't look like that gets much traffic)

    New project

    Well, picked up this beauty today. 1979 hatchback. It had a 6 cylinder and a 4 speed, but there's no drivetrain in there now. Its got a straight body and no rust. Interior is shot but that's ok. For $200 bucks, I'm happy. I have a '95 GT drivetrain sitting around to put into it, and I'll...

    Rounded head bolt

    One head bolt left, and its rounded off. I've tried everything. :mad: I hammered a 14 mm socket on there, but that twisted right off, I tried those sockets with the teeth and the reverse thread, but those didn't work either....not sure what to do outside of welding another hex head on there...

    Disovered the problem cylinder

    #3 cylinder, pulled the plug, and the metal prong was bent down touching the electrode. Did a compression test, other cylinders were making 145 psi, #3 made only 100. Funny thing is, last time I blew a head gasket, it blew from the #3 cylinder. Installed a Cometic MLS and I guess it sealed...

    Took a closer look today

    If you don't remember, couple weeks ago I got the car running great, then it started knocking and missing after I shifted hard into 3rd. Long story short, I looked under the valve covers, the valvetrain looks good and all the spark plugs look normal. Still knocking fairly loudly and...

    Anybody else have this problem?

    I just tried replying to a message a while ago in the quick reply window, and everytime I clicked "submit post" it would bring a pop-up advertisement for some insurance thing. It was the same website that had a banner just above the quick reply window. Had to go back out to the main forum then...

    Oh noes...........

    Got the '95 running well today for the first time since mid-July. She was strong and purring like a very angry kitten. Tonight, I let 2nd gear wind out to about 5,700 rpm then it starts missing. Look behind me and see a crapload of smoke, which could be just oil burning off of the exhaust...

    Front Swaybar Mounts

    Bought my '93 without a front swaybar or the brackets. I've found these universal swaybar brackets. Will these work in the stock location or do they need to be used with the relocation kit? Thanks fellas.

    Timing issue

    Well, finally finished fixing the headgasket and putting everything back together after procrastinating for a couple months. Its running ok, but while trying to set the base timing, it won't run at 10 degrees. It runs fine at 5 degrees, but if I try to advance it any more, it just suddenly...

    possible clutch issue

    When I first start driving, the tranny goes into gear pretty easily. But as I drive around some more, it gets harder and harder to get into 1st and 2nd gear and I really gotta mash the clutch down as hard as I can to get it to slip into gear. This is on a '93 cobra. Not sure if its the...

    Overheating

    Hey guys, well, I posted this same question a little while back but things aren't any better. I have a '93 cobra that I just bought. Its been overheating. It has an electric fan that I've hotwired to a switch so I can turn it on and off at will. I just replaced the thermostat, still...

    ruh roh

    Well, just got back after about a month overseas, started up the car and gave her a little workout. Now, when I let her idle, there's white smoke coming out of the right tailpipe kinda intermittently, there's a fuel smell with no visable leaks anywhere, and I noticed that the coolant was...

    Dyno and Road Trip

    Welp, got the car dynoed with the new cam and lifters. With everything else the same, I gained about 100 hp, making 531 rwhp and 544 rwtq. Needless to say, I'm pleased. Come the end of the summer, I'll have the smaller pulley installed and hopefully I'll get 600 at the rear wheels. Right...

    Overheating probs

    Hey folks. Recently picked up a '93 cobra. an aftermarket electric fan was installed, but the car would overheat while idling because I think the temp sensor was busted or something. So I just wired the fan to a switch so I can just turn it on and off at will. Now, the temperature remains...

    Power steering

    Ever since I installed the Procharger, my power steering has been very noisy and often times it just completely cuts out, especially at high rpms which is scary going around a curve. I replaced the power steering pump, but that didn't help it at all....I really don't know whats wrong...Help?

    Timing chain question

    Ok, I got the cloyes double roller timing chain set and I didn't mark down how it was before I took it off...doh! Anyways, on the crank sprocket, there's a triangle, a rectangle, and a circle. On the cam sprocket, there's a dimple with which to line up with one of the shapes. Which one do...

    Lookin' at a Cobra

    At a local mustang shop, they got a black 1993 Cobra. It has 121,000 miles, and it runs great. As far as engine work, its got long tube headers, O/R H, and unknown cat-back, but it sounds bad-ass. I'm pretty sure its cammed, stock everything else. The interior is gray and it needs a...
