    New 5.0 Owners with Manual Transmission

    I've heard a few issues on various forums about different clutch problems on the MT-82 equipped GT's (clutch assembly fails, faulty slave cylinders, and of course the common sticking pedal at high RPM shifts). Just curious if any of you have been having issues with your clutch or transmission...

    2011 V6 Stripe Removal

    Just got finished removing the rocker stripes on my 2011 V6. They came off real easy with just a heat gun, pull up a corner with your fingernail and apply steady pressure/heat. Took about 10 minutes to get them all off. I've only had the car a week, so it made it way easier. No sticky...

    Got a 2011 V-6 today

    Got rid of my 1998 Cobra and picked up a 2011 V-6 today. Still have my 03 Cobra when I have V-8 urges to satisfy. The new V-6 is pretty sweet with similar performance to my lightly modded 98 cobra (other than exhaust note). Just got it home a few hours ago with the 1st 100 miles on the ODO...

    New Magnapacks and X-pipe on 98 cobra

    Just finished installing my new Magnaflow X-pipe and Magnapack catback on my 98 Cobra. Sounds completely awesome and pulls way harder throughout the powerband. Threw on 4 new 02 sensors since I had everything down, the old ones looked pretty carbon fouled after 52K. The fit and finish of...

    Flowmasters with dumps on 98 Cobra

    A couple weeks ago I decided to run dumped 40 series flowmasters since I was waiting for my new Magnapack catback in the mail. I sawzalled the tailpipes and installed turndowns on the welded in 40 series flows. It sounded a lot deeper, a little meaner below 3K but had poorer quality sound than...

    Manifold studs to X-pipe torque? HELP

    Just got my X-pipe bolted up, but how tight do I need to torque the X-pipe to Manifold nuts? I've got them at about 15 LB FT and doesn't seem like much more is necessary. I put some anti seize on the threads, so there is probaby a couple more LB FT due to that. Anyone know the torque specs...

    52K time for new O2 sensors?

    Changing the X-pipe this weekend, 98 Cobra has 52K on the clock and wondering if I should change the O2 sensor while I'm at it? Do I just change the front two O2 sensors nearest motor or all 4? Aren't the rear O2's just idiot lights for the MIL. The X pipe is a Magnaflow catted, so I souldn't...

    H pipe manifold stud & nuts?

    I've got a 98 Cobra and getting ready to swap the stock mid-pipe and flowmaster catback for a Magnaflow catted X and magnapack catback. I bought new studs just in case I break one, but nobody seems to carry nuts to fit these. Tried Ford dealer, Autozone, O-reilly, Hardware store. WTF? Has...

    X-pipe questions on 4V

    Are Pypes catted X-pipes any good, they are $250 compared to double that for Magnaflow of Bassani catted X pipes. I want to buy catted X pipes for my 98 cobra (2 chamber flowmaster 40's) and 03 Cobra (Magnaflow CB). My choices are Bassani, Bassani BX (aluminized), Magnaflow, or Pypes. Pypes...

    10.5 wheel questions (mustang tuning)

    I want to by black deep dish bullet wheels 17 x 10.5, but the mustang tuning web site says will not fit 99+ cobras. WTF? I know there are guys running 10.5 inch wheels on 03/04 cobras. If you've got wheels from mustang tuning, what type did you get for your 03/04 snake? I plan on...

    Special tool for radiator drain?

    What are you guys using to remove the radiator plug? Is there a special Ford tool? First time I've done this on the 03 and expected a petcock valve, instead there is a POS giant philips head plastic plug? Did a search and didn't find jack. :shrug:

    Is the SCT Xcalibrator 2 a good tune for an 03 cobra? The tuner in my area uses SCT. I am new to PCM tuning and want to make a good choice. I was thinking Diablo, but now checking on SCT. I have Magnaflow Catback, KN FIPK, and looking to stop with 2.8 or 2.93 pulley and custom tune...

    Factory Panic Alarm Freaked-Out On 98 Cobra!

    :shrug: My factory alarm on my 98 Cobra started going off by itself today and when I hit the panic button it wouldn't disable. The keyless FOB batteries are good because the door lock/unlock function works fine. I ended up popping the hood and removing high current fuses until she shut up...

    Vert questions?

    I may be getting a 97 Cobra vert. How long do the tops last and how hard are they to replace? I think their about $500 for new top and window. Is the top mechanism pretty trouble free and does it make any noise while driving? I've never owned a vert.

    2005 Vette

    A guy at work drove up in his 2005 vette and everybody was in awe (all chevy guys BTW). "Oh it has a 6-speed tranny!" "Man it has 400 HP at the wheels!" They were giving me crap and said where is your little 4.6 today (cause I didn't drive it today)? They were saying it has 400 HP at...
