    Switch from Koni STR.T to Bilstein HD?

    When I lowered my 98 Cobra a few years ago on Eibach Pro-Kit springs I replaced the shocks on all corners with Koni STR.T. I figured it was a good middle of road shock and it aligned with the recommendations on MM's website as an appropriate shock for the mild drop provided by the Eibach...

    Value Of 03/04 Cobra Wheels And Tires

    I'm looking at picking up a set of 03/04 Cobra wheels for my '98 Cobra. I don't see them too often, but ran across a set this past week that are local. Wheels are original '03 Cobra wheels and they have brand new (0 mile) 275/40/17 all season tires that are about a year old; I suspect they've...

    Value Of Saleen Wheels With Tires?

    I recently bought a Laser Red '98 Cobra that has a set of staggered chrome 18" Saleen wheels on it. From what I can tell the wheels are the Chinese version of the Saleen wheels as they have "Saleen" stamped on them next to the valve stem. Wheels are in perfect condition and tires have less...

    Carfax Help?

    I'm looking at buying a '98 Cobra tomorrow to replace my restored '90 Fox 5.0, and while everything looks in order and in great shape I was going to run a Carfax just to double check. I've never asked for this kind of help, but if anyone has a Carfax account and is willing to run a VIN for me...

    Engine Short Squeal At Startup

    I have an annoying short squeal upon initial/cold startup. It only lasts a second, just right when the motor catches and actually starts is when it happens. But it's annoying. It doesn't do it if the car is warmed up and has been running. I've searched and seen that this can often be the...

    Engine Need Some Help Putting Smog System Back On

    My '90 LX 5.0 hasn't had the smog system (air pump, diverter valve, vacuum equipment, etc.) installed since I bought it. I recently moved to a location where I'll have to get it smog tested, so I am trying to get the emissions stuff put back together so I can pass. I have the stock h-pipe...

    Fox Exhaust Rattling On Corners Of Gas Tank

    Been awhile since I've been on here...really not much time for the Fox anymore other than to drive it periodically. Last year when I did my build thread I installed some of LMR's 2.5" stainless steel exhaust pipes. Fitment was great but as the pipes pass beside the gas tank they sure are...

    Fuel Fuel Tank Vapor Valve - How To Determine If Replacement Is Necessary?

    I am in the process of replacing my fuel pump which took a dump last week. While I have the tank down I'm replacing the seals; fuel pump locking ring/seal and sending unit locking ring/seal. I am also replacing the fuel tank vapor valve grommet, but have no idea how to tell if the vapor valve...

    SOLD Dcc (delta Current Control) 2 Speed Electric Fan Controller

    I have a 2 speed fan controller for an electric fan manufactured by Delta Current Control (DCC), arguably one of the best electric fan controllers on the market. The low speed turns on at 185F, but is adjustable over a wide range of temperatures. High speed turns on 10 degrees higher and...

    Engine Going Back To Stock Fan…parts Needed

    I'm going back to the stock fan…part of my restoration project I suppose. I don't have the car for the power, more for the nostalgia and just a cruiser. So, losing the slight bit of HP doesn't really bother me. Just wanted to confirm what parts I need. I believe all I need is the clutch and...

    Fox Front License Plate On Fox

    I moved to Colorado late last year and finally got my Fox registered. Colorado requires front plates and of course my bumper is currently unmolested, and I'd prefer to keep it that way. The common fold away or flip down bracket I keep finding through google searches seems to be for the later...

    Electrical Melted Fuse On 3g Alternator Power Wire

    So I installed a 3g alternator with the proper wiring in May 2012. I followed jrichker's write-up, used 4 gauge power wire from the alternator fused with a 150a fuse, and also upgraded my ground wire from the block to frame rail with a 4 gauge piece. Everything has been working flawlessly...

    Floor Mats - Lloyd -vs- Sve?

    I'm looking at getting a new set of floor mats for father's day, plain black without a logo. Anyone have experience with either the SVE or Lloyd Mats from LMR? I'm curious about the fitment of the SVE mats and whether or not the Lloyd Mats are worth the extra $$.

    Brakes Diagnosing Brake Booster

    I have the exact same problem as this guy...http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/hissing-sound-coming-from-brake-pedal.733836/ I checked the vacuum line at the switch on the brake pedal; everything looks intact and not broken. Under the hood, I disconnected the vacuum line from the...

    Fuel Stumbling After Long Highway Cruise

    So I drove my car across the Florida peninsula last week for work; about 2 hours each way. I made it there without issue, but on the way back I stopped for gas. I exited the highway, slowed, and downshifted to third. When I tried to let out on the clutch and rev match by giving it some gas...

    Fuel Bent fuel rail...or normal?

    I got my car back together after swapping the lower intake, but upon firing it up the injector for #1 is leaking. I noticed when I was putting everything back together that it seemed like I was having trouble getting the #1 injector seated, both into the intake and the fuel rail, but I tend to...

    So I just finished buttoning everything up yesterday afternoon on my '90 5.0 hatch after replacing the rear main seal, flywheel, clutch, TOB, clutch fork, clutch cable and firewall adjuster. The clutch kit is a CJPP King Cobra, FRPP flywheel and OEM clutch cable. The bellhousing is original...

    Drivetrain Clutch cable slack after new clutch install

    I'm installing a new King Cobra clutch and just finally wrestled getting the transmission back on. I got the transmission started but couldn't get it in the last 1/2" or so, so I pushed down on the clutch pedal and was able to get it the rest of the way in. The clutch cable has a good deal of...

    Drivetrain Increased axle noise with urethane control arms bushings?

    UPDATE: POST #22 So I've replaced both upper and lower control arms with UPR's chrome-moly arms with urethane bushings; the rear differential housing does have the urethane bushings as well but those are getting changed out for replacement OEM style rubber bushings in the next week or two. I'm...
