    96-98 Headlight question

    Quick question and a stupid one at that. I was able to get the headlight assembly out as well as the side markers but 1 issue came up on both sides. There was 1 of the pieces that hold the headlight in that did not budge with a plier and a little convincing. It's the upper inside mount on the...

    Replacing Pads/painting Calipers

    Alright fellas stupid question time. I have done this a few times and I really don't have any questions in regards to how to do it (the basics at least), but it seems like everytime I try to collapse the pistons back when reinstalling the new pads I always seem to scratch/remove paint from the...

    Directions On How To Properly Flush Fluids?

    I am looking to flush specifically the cooling and power steering fluids soon in my car. It's a 96 Cobra and probably hasn't had either done in a while. I've read that the cooling is as simple as draining the overflow and radiator but then that's where I have seen mixed info. Some have said to...

    Progress Thread 96 Mystic Cobra Build Thread

    Figured for all of the work that I want to do on the car why not start a build thread from the beginning instead of a bunch of other posts, plus I can keep it aligned with where I've started with her. These are the first few pics from when I picked her up: Here are some pictures from a...

    Cobra/4 Valve Parts List

    Starting to accumulate parts for the new ride. The car is basically a blank canvas at this point with just a catback and CAI. So far I have picked up a Tri-Ax to compensate for the boat it feels like I'm rowing each time I shift and I'm looking at small things I can change now with an eye...

    What Size Wheels/tires On An Aero Style?

    Shopping for wheels before having the car but one of the cars I'm looking at the owner also has some 18x9 and 18x10.5 chrome 03-04 cobra wheels for sale as well. Would the 18x10.5 be too large with a 315 MT drag radial on it? I'd guess rolling the fender will have to happen for that combo. Would...

    Pick Your Favorite Color

    Now that I have sold my GT I told myself I want to find a Cobra that is on the rarer side of things. I'd love to get into a termi but I just got a new daily driver and 2 car payments for me is not going to happen. So that has lead me to this question and poll as well; Which color is YOUR...

    Shipping Questions

    Loooking at a car that's 1200 miles away from me, I'm scared to death of buying a car sight unseen, any words of wisdom before I do this? I was thinking PayPal for a deposit to hold the car and then a cashiers check for the final payment. I looked at Uship for shipping the car and I'd want it to...

    Another vortech question

    So here is 2 ad's for said vortech supercharger setups.. which one sounds like the better deal? Kinda thinking I may pick 1 up and slowly add to the car with the fuel and tune money so it won't be going on right away, but this obviously is the expensive part: Vortech Supercharger V-1 S-trim...

    Cluster/Pats question

    Finally swapping out the brains of the clusters I have. The previous setup was the 01 Cobra faces with my 02 GT brains. I used it like this for a while and had to offset the mph by changing the tire ratio. Now that I'm ready to swap the back of the Cobra cluster to the faces I have a question...

    Learn me about 96 Cobras..

    I feel like I'm way out of my realm of possiblities but there is a certain 96 cobra I'd love to own. I would love to get a termi but we all know the price tags for them. In particular I want a mystic, I know the color isn't for everyone but it's the car that made me fall in love with new gen...

    Looking to lower the rear

    After getting my new wheel and tire setup it seems that my car is perched a little too high for my liking in the back. Right now I have it on the ford C springs with Tokico blues along with both upper and lower isos. I know I could take them out to lower it but I'm not too sure if it will be the...

    Wheel weight thread

    Just got to thinking about a new set of wheels and I was curious as to which wheel weighs the most. I know we can generalize here but I was looking for some accurate numbers. Hopefully one of the sponsors sees this thread and thinks its worthy of someone to do this for us because I think it...

    LCA options

    Well it's time to get back into modding again and since I will be needing new tires I figured it would be a good time to help plant the old ones to burn them off with new lca's. American muscle has j&m on sale for 150 right now and the maximums are regular at 259. I know I could wait till...

    What size tires with 18's?

    I am pondering getting a new wheel/tire setup and the options are either Hypercoated GT4's or black chrome FR500's. Another less expensive option would be to get deep dish black bullitts to match the wheels I already have and I still might go this way. What size tires is everyone running with...

    Could a vacuum leak do this?

    Kinda strange and I am a little curious as to if this is possible so here goes. My brakes are for sure on the way out. I have metal on metal contact on the right front and I don't think the driver side has too much longer as well. Those will be on the way out in a few weekends. The last few days...

    Well Crap

    Looks like I will be needing new brakes pretty damn quick as I can hear metal to metal contact from the right front rotor. I went to look at buyfordracing and it looks like they don't have the calipers I need if I wanted to swap to 13" rotors anymore :mad: I guess the next best option is from...
