    ecsta supra 712 compared to nt555

    I've had bith 245 and 275 712's and they really sucked. I hated driving on them at all in any conditions. I sucked it up and went with KDW's and loved em.

    we're confused

    Gonna have to agree with the IAC theory. Sometime that will just happen, then it will unstick and it takes starting the car up a couple times to get the computer to put it back to where it should be.

    2004 Cobra as daily driver?

    I have 58K on my 01 and I got it in May 2001. Everything is fine with the motor... Have a TKO and a somewhat built solid rear now though... hehe And the reason they are breaking the T-56s (more than likely) is because the input shaft is garbage just like on the 3650.

    Slicks on a 99 Cobra... Dangerous?

    Also, you won't be able to mount the 15" wheels with the IRS because (I think this is what it is...) a control arm mount will hit the wheel. But slicks will kill your half-shafts. If you want to race on slicks, get a solid rear. I've had one for about a year and half and my car has never been...

    What will 3.73s do for my '01?

    4.30s are a great all-round gear and I get great gas mileage city and highway.

    What will 3.73s do for my '01?

    A friend of mine with the exact same car as me put 3.73s in his and it sucked. I agree that the lowest numerical gear these cars should have NA is a 4.10. I have 4.30s and drive highway and city constantly and I still get 20+ mpg overall. The gas argument is stupid and based upon a faulty...

    Pro 5.0 or Steeda Tri-ax

    Pro 5.0 shifts much smoother and is worth the extra cost. I ran a Tri-Ax for two years and will never, ever go back. And the Pro 5.0 offers just as much adjustability if you buy a Tri-Ax handle or an MGW handle. Heh, even UPR makes a nice adjustable one. But, I'm sorry, the Tri-Ax just sucks...

    CNL idle problem is p**sing me off!!

    Most people would simply be better off getting their car tuned with the stock maf anyway. The C&L simply tries to trick the computer with incorrect readings. Save yourself time and money and get an SCT tune...

    CNL idle problem is p**sing me off!!

    C&L is not the best in the world for MAFs, just ask anyone at SCT. But they can be made to run just fine on mild cars. I'm using one for the time being just to get around until I can figure something out with the stock MAF in terms of fitting in the friggin bay... Be careful putting the...

    HELP Exhaust leak , how do I fix it?

    Get longtubes. Kooks, or some other company that doesn't require removal to work on the bh. I don't have a before/after dyno with mine, but they sure do help out. Maybe not as much as on the 5.0s (on account of the stockers being really pinched off). If you do LTs, you do need to drop the K...

    Is it really bad to go over you due date for oil changes

    If you run synthetic and you have an intact PCV, you should be able to run around 6K safely. Syn-blend is fine to 5K. I change my syn 5W-30 every 4K or so during racing season (sometimes different if I have issues with the oil or any blowby) and about every 5K otherwise. Plus my PCV is...

    C&L air meter, now my car runs bad

    If you are talking about SCT, they probably won't want to tune your car if there is a C&L on it.

    99+ Stang, pass. seat question??

    You do realize that the pass side is narrower than the driver's side, right?

    C&L air meter, now my car runs bad

    The C&L is proven to be a bad MAF. It gives erratic voltage readings back to the computer and every tuner I know hates them.

    2004 RoushCobra has arrived!!

    Yeah, I was wondering about the 01 bumper... Also, what's with the gap between the hood and the bumper? You would think they would have compensated for it or something... Otherwise, nice car.

    IRS vs. Live Solid Axle

    It'll work fine, you just need to weld on cat-back hangers and the pinion snub on the solid axle car. Plus you need to swap around the rear ABS lines. Otherwise it's a direct bolt(SSSSS)... Have fun.

    New Bracket for 2000 Cobra R?

    It's probably just the reinforcement all the 00R guys have had to make for their cars. Go to the Cobra R forum at svtperformance.com and look this up. They had to make braces to prevent their bumpers/splitters from flexing at high speed.

    Superchips Tuner or Predator

    Ah, didn't think through that one. During a tune, they use the J3 port, but the software can use the OBD2 port when the comp is removed?
