After the sale of my 96 Mystic, I'm beginning to look for the next purchase. It won't be anytime soon, it doesn't hurt to begin the search for information. Based on current pricing, I'm thinking I'll end up with a 03/04 Mach 1 or a 99/01 Cobra. I like the newer Mach 1. I love the look and also...

Last Monday I sold my Mystic, then replaced it Thursday with a 2003 Toyota 4runner 4x4 Limited. I hated to do it, but I had to have something more practical as a daily driver. My finances don't allow two vehicles, so I had to make the move. Anyway, I'd like to say thank you all for the...

I need to change the rear end oil in my 96 Cobra. I had bought some off brand stuff, but decided I didn't wanna run that so I'm back to the drawing board. I think I'm gonna go ahead and get the royal purple. I've got three questions about it though. First, how many quarts do I need? Second, I...

I'm in search of some new tires for my 96 Cobra. The car is my daily driver, so I need something good in wet and dry conditions. I have used Nitto 555's and liked them, but they seemed to be horrible in the rain. I now have some Hankook all season tires, and they seem to do as well as the 555's...

I'm just curious if anyone has any experience with these tires? I use my 96 Cobra year round (my only vehicle) and need a good tire. I don't see much snow (maybe 1-2 times a year at most), but need something that'll do good on wet/dry and in hot/cold weather. From what I can tell, an all season...

I've got 17x9 04 Cobra rims all around on my 96 Cobra. I currently have 275/40/17 Hankook tires all around. I'm needing 2 new tires. I'm gonna go with Nitto 555's, I'm just not sure on the sizes. I'd really like a narrower tire up from to help with handling. I can buy 2 275/40's and then decide...

I'm in a small predicament and need some help. I have 2 full sets of tires/wheel. The first is my stock 17x8 wheels with 245/45/17 Nitto 555's all around. The second is a set of 04 Cobra rims 17x9 with 275/40/17 Hankook v4's (all season tire). I'm eventually gonna put some drag radials on my...

I'm beginning to search for some new tires for my 96 Cobra. I've used Nitto 555's in the past, currently have some Hankook A/S tires. Neither are just exceptional when it comes to traction. I'm thinking about buying a set of winter tires for my stock rims, and running a summer tire on my 03...

After much debate, I finally bit the bullet and picked up a set of OEM chrome 04 Cobra rims with 275/40/17's all around. Thanks for all of the help with the decision on my wheels, let me know what you guys think.

I may be going to look at some wheels this weekend for my 96 Cobra. The one's I've got my eye on are OEM 17x9 chrome wheels off a 04 Cobra. They are suppose to be in excellent condition, pics show that. What all should I be looking for when I go look at them? I know the easy stuff like...

I'm really considering a tuner for my 96 Cobra. I've found a used SCT XCAL2 Strategy Tuner for pretty cheap (less than half price of a new one). I'm considering picking it up. However, I'm also thinking about picking up a new XCAL3. Would there really be any noticeable difference between them? I...

I've decided on rims, now just have to decide on tires/sizes. Tires I am looking at are the Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season and the Toyo Proxes 4. Does anyone know how these tires measure? I know my Nittos run extremely small, just curious if these two measure true or not. Thanks for any input.

I'm about to get some new wheels, leaning towards Chrome 03 Cobras. I've found a set of OEM's at a decent price, but I've also found some good deals on new Replica wheels online. Are the OEM 03 Cobra wheels all 17x9? Is one better than the other? I know with Saleens people are saying the chrome...

After several weeks of trial and error, waiting on parts, and so on I've finally finished. Parts list: -Fog lights off a 02-06 GMC Envoy, $40 from ebay -Stick on tint, $20 from Lamin-x Protective Films - Protect with Style -About a foot of 1 inch square tubing, had it laying around the house...

I've decided against using HIDs for the driving lights, but I'm still considering upgrading my fog lights on my 96 Cobra. I have lights off of a GMC Envoy that I tinted, just looking to improve output a bit. I've found the HID kit at VVME for $40. I was gonna get Silverstars, but now I'm really...

I've had my V1 for several months now, but I've never messed with settings. I've searched, and I found that there is an All bogey modes, advanced logic, and logic. What is the differences between them, and what should I use for daily driving on country roads? Right now my screen displays L...

I've got a 96 Cobra that is my daily driver, few bolt on mods (listed in sig). I really don't have any big plans for it mod wise, just some appearance stuff. I doubt I'll be doing many power mods. Since it is my dd, I'd like to have the best gas mileage possible, and some extra power wouldn't...

Looking at selling my 96 Mystic Cobra for another 96 Mystic that is Vortech Supercharged with supporting mods. I'd be out about $1k in the deal. My car is solid, and has 127k miles. The one I'm looking at has $139 on the clock. The mods are definitely appealing, but I'm concerned first about the...

I'm getting ready for some new tires/wheels for my 96 Cobra. I'll be getting 17x9 03 Cobras, running a 275 (possibly 285)/40/17 rear. I'm thinking I'll keep the stock 245/45/17 size up front. It is my daily driver, and I'm worried that the 275's up front will cause it to handle bad on the...

A while back I had posted about my not so exciting drag racing experience. I was running 1000ft (full track length at the local track) and was hitting low 12's, and a best of 11.9. This was only my second time on the strip, and you all said it should improve, offered some great advice on how to...
