    T-56 install finished

    Well, as some of you may remember I blew out 2nd gear on my 3650. I ended up finding a T-56 that a guy had bought and never put in his car and went to work. Install was a pain but after a few days of work my friend and I had it in. Not too shabby for a guy that can't even legally drink. :nice:

    Does '03 driveshaft work in '01 Cobra w/T-56?

    As you well know I blew out second gear. Well, I have decided to drain my poor bank account and get a used T-56. Now I know that I would need to shorten my driveshaft 3/4", but would it be possible to just use an '03 driveshaft? (a guy is selling tranny/clutch/flywheel/driveshaft)

    Need help

    It is actually for a friend, not myself, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask you all anyways. My friends starts to leave his lakehouse and within ~1/4 mile the engine begins to overheat, so he stops it and finds that one of the radiator hoses has come undone and all of the coolant has leaked...

    Flowmaster Super 40 interior noise...

    Does anyone have the Super 40s that could give me an idea of how loud the interior noise is, especially around the infamous 2K rpm mark... I have been thinking about getting a set to add a little more rumble to the rear end and saw PartsShopper was having a special on them. :nice:

    aftermarket wider 99-01 Cobra rims?

    I know this is a longshot, but I really would like to keep the outside as stock looking as possible. I was wondering if anyone knows of a company that makes a replica of the 99-01 Cobra rims in a 9-10.5 in. width. If not I will probably get some '03 replicas.

    Eibach Pro-Kit on '01 Cobra?

    When I bought my '01 Cobra it had the Eibach Pro-Kit springs on it. Today I was looking around on the PartsShopper and became very confused when I saw under the Pro-Kit it said "Will not work with Cobra IRS." Is it that they don't work properly with the IRS, and thus I should take them off? I...

    3.73s, 3.90s, or 4.10s?

    I am thinking of getting a new set of gears as one of the first mods for my Cobra, and was thinking of going with either the 3.73s, 3.90s, or 4.10s and was wondering if you all had any opinions on the matter. I really only do highway driving when I am traveling, so that is not a big problem...

    A guy not far from me is selling an '01 Cobra with less than 7000 miles on it for around $17,250. I'm really interested in the car and am most likely going to go drive it this weekend. I was wondering if you all think it is a good deal for this price.

    Boss 9 reigns champion

    Not sure how many of you have seen the Dream Car Muscle Car Shootout on the Speed channel, but I thought I'd let it be known that the Boss 9 edges out the LS6 for the win. 5.03 0-60 mph and 13.74 (or around there) on 1/4 mile. :nice: I think the show co-host/driver said it best after...

    In two years I will be unable to get company leases as my sister is going to be able to drive, and I was wondering what your estimates are as to how much an '03 Mach 1 is going to go for about 2 years from now. Looks like people are asking about 21-22K for them on now (on ebay.)
