    Need help in Vancouver

    Man, this is a tough crowd. I appreciate all the help, from EVERYONE. The car started and runs great. If this particular occurance starts to happen more often I'll look deeper into a permanent fix. Stangnet and its members are awesome.

    Need help in Vancouver

    Dear Dave, If you can come and replicate the problem i'ld be glad to take you out for a drink. The car is in "PERFECT" running condition. Pawning the car off is not the intention of the sale. If I was in anyway unsatisfied with this car why would i want another FORD product. I stand behind...

    Need help in Vancouver

    ok you caught me! when the car is stored for months on end and not started up, it can be difficult to start the car perfect every time. I dont believe my problem is due to any kind of abuse or actual malfunction of any mechanical or electronic parts, more a problem of not enough use. 66k miles...

    I dont have anything to read codes with. but it could have stored up some codes. probly mostly codes that indicate bad driving habits such as "rear wheels moving dramatically faster that front wheels" or "Speed limiter has been breeched", or maybe something simple like "emergency flashers used...

    97 cobra wont start???

    I know the starter sounds wierd but it is turning the engine over. I'm almost suspect of bad gas or the FPR or possible clogged fuel filter(been changed once in 66k miles). I'll keep yuh updated.

    top speed 4:10's in 4th ????????

    I've had my 97 Cobra redlined in 4th with stock gears. just over 150mph like the book says. i shifted into 5th, and even with it planted it slowed to about 130 or so. I'm really not sure that the stock 300hp will push the car much faster than 150-160 with any gear.

    96-98 Cobra folks: definitive answer on 10.5 wheels please?

    I personally have 18x9 in the rear with 285's. I've got the eibach springs and also cut a whole coil off them. I get absolutely no rubbing at any time(highspeed cornering or anything)...My friend has a 95 gt with the same springs and i do(cut and all) and he has the 17x10.5 cobra R's with 315's...

    Photos of Mustang Round Up Ride N Drive

    Yah, i got my photo a couple days ago. Its an awesome picture. 1st session when the car was still blingin' . I recently switched to AMSoil 0-30w full synthetic, and the car runs great everywhere, but i believe the thinner oil doesnt disapate the heat as well when on the track(4k-7k constant...

    5w20 or 5w30??

    I use the FL820 filter from the parts store. Works way better than the Fram filter. I also just changed over to AmsOil 0W30 Full synthetic. I havent had any problems with it at all. I raced 2 lapping days(road corse) on the same oil, and all still looks good, but i will be changing it before the...

    Springs for a '97 Cobra

    Easy, get the Eibach springs straight out of the Ford Racing Performance Parts catalog..cost is roughly $180..I installed mine in about 1-2hrs. They will drop the car about 1.5"..you'll be very happy with that..(I needed lower so I cut them for closer to a 2-3" drop)

    a few ?'s on the 97 Cobra's

    You will not be disappointed with the cobra. See my sig for details of my car. I've got more looks mods than gofast mods. and still muster'd up a 13.8x 105mph 1/4 mile, on stock rims/tires. I'm looking to possibly sell my car and upgrade. My car now has 56k miles on it and runs like new. I can...
