    How much does it cost to repair busted halfshafts?

    Tom, first off thanks for your advice. Would you say that the diff cover is more likely to be a problem than the halfshafts? IRS brace seems to be a bit misleading because that makes me think of something more like this...

    How much does it cost to repair busted halfshafts?

    No, the suspension is totally stock. I looked at Steeda and all I found were some poly bushings. Where can I get an IRS brace? The wheel hop is bad now on Nitto 555s, I have to totally baby it in 1st gear and a good part of 2nd or it will break loose and start to hop.

    How much does it cost to repair busted halfshafts?

    What's the likelyhood of breaking a halfshaft launching on DRs. My car is making about 440 rwhp and I have a friend with a set of drag radials that will fit. I am trying to find out how dangerous launching on drag radials with the stock IRS is, and how much it would cost in parts if I had to...

    Insurance prices on 03 Cobra??????

    I work for an ins. agency here in FL and can say it honestly depends on your driving record. If you don't have any tickets, it won't be too bad. Mine went up a few hundred dollars on a 12 month policy with progressive when I traded my GT for my 03 Cobra. Considering what you're going to pay...

    Here's the wiring diagram I used. Looks like it was pin #87 red/black.

    Guage installation '04 Cobra

    For the 02 sensor, I just installed one on my cobra a few days ago. I don't remember the exact wire color, but when looking at the big connector that connects to the computer under the passenger side kick panel, the wires are kind of split up into sections. Starting at the front of the...

    Will 03/04 cobra front and rear seats fit in my 96 cobra?

    I can't say for sure, but my last car was a 97 and I've removed the seats from both of them. The way they bolt to the floor is a bit different between 97 and 03, but as far as bolt spacing, etc.. I'd say there is a good chance they would be interchangeable.

    Should I change my rear end fluid?

    Leave it alone unless you have some other reason to open it up or are just really paranoid. If you end up changing it, you might as well do something useful while you're down there, like a set of 4.30s. :nice:

    03/04 Cobra Daily Driver Question

    I have driven mine almost every day for a year and a half now, and it's a lot of fun. Not a hassle at all. Some people will say the clutch is a pain in traffic but it doesn't really bother me. Then again I am 6'4" and 250lbs, so maybe I can just deal with it better. :) Seriously though...

    DAD SAYS NO TO O/R H-PIPE

    Maybe you could try an offroad x-pipe. I've heard they are a bit quieter than O/R h-pipes, so maybe the old man won't notice the difference. If you're going to do a catback, just do them at the same time and he won't know the difference. Personally, I don't really care for the sound of O/R...

    03 Cobra mods

    With an offroad pipe, catback, CAI, 2.8 pulley and a good tune, you can expect to see about 450 hp. You can get another few HP by changing to something like a Denso IT20 plug, or so I've heard. Those are the cheapest mods I know of. After that, you have to start spending real money. :) As...

    interested in racing a hemi ram?

    Obviously it's the 1/8th mile... look at the mph. :) I don't think he was trying to insult Mustangs. It looks like he was just trying to get some more people to come out to the track.

    Where should I connect an aftermarket boost gauge on an 03/04 Cobra?

    Here's a picture of what I think are the vacuum lines. You should be able to see what I mean when I say "boot" when you look at the picture.

    Where should I connect an aftermarket boost gauge on an 03/04 Cobra?

    I have a 2003 Cobra, and I just bought an Auto Meter boost gauge. I have it wired up, but I'm confused as to where I should attach the nylon boost/vacuum tube. Most forums and websites say you should use a t-fitting and attach it to any vacuum line. However, the vacuum lines have rubber boots...

    Got pics of 2003 cobra with a-pillar pod?

    Is the P/N on autometer's site for a 2003 hardtop a full pillar or just a clip on pod? Can any auto paint place paint the pillar, or can I do it myself with spray paint?

    How much will break it?

    I'm only planning on making 2 or 3 passes. Are we talking instant FUBAR, or breakage after 10-15 passes?

    Well,... the questions was at what point does this occur? :)
