    98 cobra giving me hellllll!

    bad contacts with chip? I had similar problems which were caused by a plug-in chip: stalling, occasional high idle. I think the chip connections were not good, no idea why. Once the chip was removed the problems went away.

    1999 Cobra

    '01 or terminator the '01 resolved performance issues with the '99 (hence no '00, other than the 'R') (see Lack of Power in the 1999 SVT Cobra for example). '01 also has 'cobra' on the rear bumper, and the rear spoiler changed. not sure about interior changes, that may have been when the two...

    '97 Cobra rear bumper paint job price?

    I had two quotes, $300 I had some very minor rear bumper damage and got two quotes for $300. Both included removing the bumper to do the work. I was also told the new paint would hold better on the original bumper, compared to a new replacement. I'm still waiting to have it done, I want to...

    Weld In Flowmasters (finally)

    Weld-ins were half the cost of a catback. I had to get tires - nothing left on the original Comp T/As - and my royalty check came to $111.14. So no catback, no prochamber, and BFG gSports instead of KDW. I did get 275/40 instead of stock 245/45, and no complaints, so far.

    Weld In Flowmasters (finally)

    Ordered Super 40s in the 2.25 size from Jegs, 2-3 days delivery. They're slightly longer than the stock mufflers and the installation was done in 30 minutes or so. The guy who did the work said it was one of the easiest he had done. The sound is nice, but fairly quiet, you can...

    Speedometer high by 12.676% ?

    My car is supposed to have a Terminator IRS with 3.55 gears instead of the '01 3.27, so I expected my speedometer to be off. The difference between 3.27 and 3.55 is only 8.563%, so I'm thinking "80mph" on my speedometer would actually be 73.7mph. Most of my driving is 10 miles each way 45-55...

    Any of these schools around

    contingencies? good setup? I assume by "contingency" you're referring to a ride home? Apart from wear on brake pads, tires and rotors (in that order?), what parts are at risk in these courses, if assuming one weekend a month? How much track time do you get? And one more question (!)...

    Oil Analysis

    I had my engine oil analyzed after the past several oil changes. No interesting story, the readings are all normal. Oil analysis is normally done for extended use vehicles, but can be helpful in picking up unusual bearing wear or water jacket leaks. I’m told that Main Bearing Wear would be...

    I had the same problem last year, fixed it similar to UM's description, though i didn't quite "slam" the door closed. since then i don't roll that window down 100%.

    1:4 Scale 2003 Cobra Engine Model

    similar to this NA version? i looked for this last year, no luck. the only information i found was it was made by "legacy", and i'm not sure that's correct either. very cool.

    Bumper imprint on my rear bumper now - should i pursue this?

    Two friends - a Formula owner and a 40th Anniv GT owner - and my neighbor looked at the imprint and said much the same, you really can't miss it when you look. The imprint wasn't obvious in the drizzling rain, or I wouldn't have had a second thought at the time. I'll see what the body shop has...

    Bumper imprint on my rear bumper now - should i pursue this?

    My immaculate silver '01 is no longer immaculate: an SUV decided not to wait for me to move at the light change and just drove into me. I have the bumper imprint in my bumper now. The silver coating wasn't penetrated, a local shop checked underneath and all is ok it appears. The suv was only...
