    96 Cobra, White smoke after heat up

    Been a few years, Stangnet! :D Recently I've had a lot of white smoke spewing from my exhaust after the engine warms up. It doesn't have a distinct smell (doesn't smell sweet, doesn't smell like gas, rubber, or plastic). The best I can describe it is just a generic burning smell. As for...

    2nd, 4th, and R Gone

    The other day, my car started having trouble going into 2nd. Then tonight, I was completely unable to get the car into 2nd. Then 4th started doing the same thing. So I limped home and tried reverse. No dice. I'm using an MGW. So my question is... shift stop? Someone please say yes.

    4.6L (pre-3v) Reverse Engineering Thread

    I thought this would be a fun -- and amazing -- project. In this thread, we will list as many componants of the 4.6L 2v and 4v engine, what they do, and how they affect the performance of the engine.

    Wheel Spacers

    I'm considering throwing a set of spacers on my car to widen my stance. Simply for looks at the moment (looking at 315s for the after-college future), but I was wondering if anyone has any pictures of spacers on all four wheels, preferrably with deep dish wheels. I'm just curious how that would...

    Brake Swapping

    If I were to buy the Cobra R front brake kit, would it be possible to move my current front brakes to the rear? Talk about stopping power. :drool:

    Idle way too high

    Since this morning, my car's been idling really high. It started out at 1090 at about 9:45 this morning. Just took it for a drive and it's still at 1000. IAC sticking open or something?

    Members nearby?

    Long shot... Anyone here live on Scott Lake Rd. in Lakeland, FL? There's a mean looking silver 99-04 GT that I see in a driveway on Scott Lake Rd. almost every day and it's piqued my curiosity... Speaking of Scott Lake, anyone here that's not from Florida see it on the news? I know my dad saw...

    Still Jerking

    Replaced the plugs, that helped a little bit. Same with transmission fluid. Cleaned the MAF, just changed the oil, used Seafoam. My car is still jerking under acceleration in a high gear (mostly 5th under 3000). ...Clutch? :( Is there anything else I can try?

    Exchanges @ Summit?

    How good is Summit with exchanging parts when they screw up? Stopped off at the Summit Racing store in Georiga today on the way home from TN to pick up a K&N FIPK for my car. I made sure he knew it was a Cobra, not a GT. This overconfident sales failure says "oh, it'll ask." Ok, cool. So I...

    Need Some New Plugs

    Can't decide on plugs for my car. It's kind of a toss up between NGK Iridiums and NGK Laser Platinums. Is it really a matter of opinion (both are ~$12 each) or does anyone recommend one over the other? (Or something else for that matter.) There are these Nology Silverstones, too... Don't know...

    Another Cooling Problem

    This is what happens: When I first start driving the car, it heats up normally. After a little while (about 2 miles), the temp climbs way up, up into the A and L area, but so far the car hasn't gotten out of normal. But after a while of driving, it'll drop back down into the R and M area...

    Odometer Broken

    What should I go about checking? My odometer just stopped ticking all of the sudden while I was about 150 miles from home.

    Siphoning?

    Is there'a a screen of baffle protecting my gas tank? I need to siphon out some contaminated gas and can't get a hose in there. I really don't wanna drop my gas tank to empty it. What I want to do is use a piece of garden hose (because it's stiffer) and blow air across the end of those hose...

    Stock Injector Size

    Anyone know the stock injector size on a 96 Cobra? I'm replacing mine and I'm thinking about going a tad larger.

    So... Are our cars more valuable?

    Since SVT got disbanded, did our cars go up in value at all? Just curious.

    Kinda Trying To Start

    Ok, finally got my a/c elim installed, but now the car won't start. It'll turn and turn but not even try. Sorta. My dad sprayed some starter fluid in there and it tried a little harder. So here's my question. Bad gas or bad fuel filter?

    Sub Boxes/Rear Seat Deletes

    I was just thinking while replying on my RSD thread... I have the tools and the ability to make subwoofer boxes and rear seat delete kits. If I started making them specifically for Stangnet, would anyone be interested? (They'd be cheap. Like, really cheap). I'd take special orders and stuff...

    Rear Seat Elim

    A while back, someone posted pictures of a red convertable Terminator with an awesome rear seat delete. The RSD had a thin, tan leather seat with seatbelts and everything. Anyone know where to get one of these and if it'll fit in my 96?

    LTs vs. Mid-Length

    I hate to (most likely) spark this argument again, but... I know LTs offer more gains over mid-range headers. But I don't have a lot of time to work on my car and I've heard that LTs can really be a bitch when it comes to working on the engine. Can anyone recommend a good mid-length header? And...

    Stupid Compressor

    To continue whining about my stupid dead a/c compressor... It's preventing me from starting my car. So uh...how to I get the refrigerant out on my own safely? Since I can't take it to a shop and have them do it.
