    Mystichrome bumper damage

    Man, I haven't been on this forum in YEARS. lol Anyway, my 10 year old son closed the garage door on my rear bumper last night. The paint was by no means perfect, but THIS...it's just so obvious. There are three parallel scratches and the middle one is kind of deep, sort of a gouge, I'd...

    Magnapacks or Stingers--which is loudest?

    I really can't decide between these two systems. I had the packs on my '96 GT with a catted x-pipe and it wasn't quite as loud as I wanted. I don't really want to remove the stock h on the Cobra. Are the Stingers louder than the Packs? I heard a sound clip online of the Stingers with a factory...

    How much drop should I expect?

    I decided on B-springs for my '96 GT. It currrently has C-springs, with one and a half coils cut from the rear. I don't know if this killed the rears, but now my car bottoms out...I guess, but it makes a loud bang sound over bumps. Recently I put KYB struts in the front, and just last week...

    PLEASE HELP!!! Advice on rear bottoming out with cut c-springs

    It seems my ghetto rigged suspension has caught up with me...after four years. Perhaps it caught up much earlier, I just didn't notice it on nice smooth American asphalt, but here in Sweden (imported my '96 two months ago), land of dirt roads, pot holes, ridges and craters, the aging suspension...

    Cobra, Saleen or Roush? Help me decide!

    Okay, since I can't afford an '07 Cobra, I have to lower my horizons a bit and decide between these older, albeit still very awesome cars! If anybody has anything good or bad to say about any of these cars, I'd really appreciate it. As it stands, I think I'm leaning towards an '04 Cobra...but...

    Vin stamped into chassis on 96 GT??

    I just imported my 1996 GT to Sweden. I'm here but in order to register the car the authorites say that the VIN must be stamped onto the chassis of the car. In other words, the metal plate bolted to the car near the dash isn't good enough, and neither is a taped label in the door jam. Is...

    Roush '05 S-281SC vs '04 Cobra + 0-60 times??

    I will be selling my '96 GT soon here in Sweden. When I return to California (oh how I miss you, home sweet home...) I will need a replacement! I'm considering an '05 Saleen SC or an '04 Cobra. I love the looks of the Saleen, but I love the potential of the Cobra, although I don't see myself...

    I just posted this in the WC forums before I found the NW forums!:nonono: Sorry about the double post! Anyway, I'm in Sweden until early July (selling my '96 I just had shipped here). I live in/near Eureka CA which is about 150 miles from Redding. There's a guy there who has an '04 Mystic...

    Anybody in the Redding area wanna test drive a Cobra for me?

    Here's my problem: I just shipped my '96 Mustang GT to Sweden (where I am now until early July) to sell. I was browsing eBay last night when I found a beautiful '04 Mystic Cobra for sale. I emailed the owner and asked him about the reserve and I liked his answer. Problem is, I don't want to buy...

    Rear ended by UGLY Jeep Cherokee with BIG BLACK BUMPER

    Friday afternoon this boob rear ended my car while we were turning right. It was a very minor accident, but it left several ugly black scrapes on my rear bumper. My concern is that my paint is ten years old and very thin. There is NO clear coat left anymore. Am I looking at a repaint for the...

    Roush Adding supercharger to 2005 S281

    Anybody done this? I like the '05 S281SC but I don't like the price! I'm just wondering if any new Saleen owners opted to add a supercharger to their '05 Saleen. Is it under warranty like the SC car? Thanks! Cindy

    How do you replace O/D switch?

    I have a '96 GT automatic with a failed O/D button. The overdive switch is next to the shifter. I pulled the plastic thingy surrounding it, but don't know how to get to the button itself. Anybody know how? Is it easy to replace? Should I start looking for a mechanic? LOL! I have the part...

    Recommended headers with Magnaflow x-pipe?

    I have a grand coming next week and want to do some more exhaust upgrades. I definitely want a catted Magnaflow x-pipe, but I'm still unclear (despite searching the archives) which headers to go with. I currently have Magnapacks. Can anybody tell me how much install would be for various...
