    Floor Mats for my 03/Cobra Emblem color

    A few years ago I bought the black floor mats for my 03 that had the Cobra snake in RED. I cant remember where I got them and I need a new set. Everyone seems to have the silver emblem only for the Black mat...Any sources....? I cant find them anywhere..

    What are the best tires I can get???

    All that HP etc means zip nothing if you cant get the ass end to stay put and planted. Assuming you've put a decent lowering kit in it already, Go with the Goodyear F1's. The lowering kit puts a bit of needed weight in back and will cut down considerably the trademarkMustang wheel-hop problem...

    Lets hear it for the black mustangs!

    Trade Secret.. Its an on-line buy only as far as I klnow. Never have seen it in any auto supply store. As far as pictures, as soon as the weather improves sometime in August, I'll put some pix up. Photos though, don't really tell the story about how well a polish does or doesnt do the job...

Megulair, Zaino, 3m pro, Turtle wax ultra gloss....Every one... Last year I finally found one that does it right. Its called Trade Secret...

One of those places where you don't take it back two or three times to do "fix up's"....If you dont know of any good one's, tell...

    Any suggestions for '03 Cobra exhaust mods?

    Rule of thumb I generally use: Start at the tailpipe and work your way forward. Don't get overly hungup on horspower yet either. Torque improvements should come first before you go laying out bucks on intake systems, throttle kits etc.. Loose the 3:56 gears and go to 3:73's. Don't let any one...

    Flowmasters; Super 40's to 44's

    I have some guys telling me tht the noise difference isn't really noticible while others tell me that it IS louder and a bit more of a racket inside the cockpit... My 03 exhaust is currently using the magnaflow x pipe thru super 40's...What can I expect DB-wise with super 44's....?

    99 Cobra Headers

    I put the FMS shorties on my old 99 and the results were decent. But, if you are dumping them into the stock exhaust then you're putting money in the wrong place. Header upgrades into factory pipes won't give you a great deal of HP gain. I had my shorties going into flowmaster super 40's. If I...

    COMPARED: MGW vs. Steeda Triax

    I had the Steeda shifter on my 99 Cobra. I liked it but quite honestly it took awhile for the damn thing to notch in before I could feel comfortable with it. The MGW unit is class all the way. I have it on my 03 Cobra. It takes about 10 minutes to put it in and was ready for the road. Anything...

    03 Cobra covert /Need help on suspension

    I'm trying to keep from burning up 1400 dollars with of Pirelli P zero's. This car simply will not stay planted no matter how much I soft pedal it. I can break loose at almost any speed under 50-60 without much effort. Yeah big problem but it's kind of annoying putting your foot into it and have...

    The Vibe. Its back. This time on my 03..

    Bill Franco...yes. Knew him too well. That TSB also looks way tooo familier. Your basic "start with the ass end and work your way forward" diagnostics. Ok, here we go again.:(

    The Vibe. Its back. This time on my 03..

    I'm one of the founding members of the 99 Cobra club that had to fight (and never really won) the famouse Vibration that came off the rear end up thru the driveline. 99'ers will recall that it was tweak tweak tweak by indexing the shaft until it went away or at least dropped off so you didnt...

    Les Schwab

    I always have my car within my field of vision when they're working on it.If its a job I can wait for, I will. Here's where I get nervous, and Schwab DOES this and they shouldnt: When it gets busy or its crunch time, one tech will drop off one job and another will pick it up in his place. I...

    Les Schwab

    Its true. There really are Good Schwabs and bad ones. You can usually tell by just looking at the operation from the street. If there's crap all over the place, the shop is a pit and the employees are walking around with a pissed off look on their face, I just drive by. My experience is not to...

    Hood Pin style's

    The straight thru pins, no cable, were put on the California Specials. They look fine, hold together well. Just make sure the springs and back mounting hardware are installed snug. Its a sad day when you're driving down the freeway and one of the damn things works itself loose and flys off...

    Gas prices....Lets move to Venezuela!!!

    Here's the sad part to all of this gas stuff: It's going to turn a lot of nice daily drivers into garage queens, only to be taken out on the weekends. We'll use Yamaha's, Hyundi's or a beater Geo Metro to get to work.:(

    Yukon Rearend Gears

    Its the house brand at Randys Ring and Pinion. I have them and they work fine. No noise or racket. Went in easy..A little more money but the opinion is that they're a bit better quality than others.
