    THR (TExas Hot Rods)?

    Well I was hopeful. They had plenty of time to correct it. My wife paid for the CAI on Dec 6th. It was suppose to be a Christmas present. But Paypal got my money back today Jan 17th. THR didn't even respond to the claim. It's a pretty sad situation, I'll never buy from them again. But...

    THR (TExas Hot Rods)?

    Well they have one more day to respond to my Paypal claim I filed like 2 weeks ago. Still nothing. So I try calling them. I called Brian, Malinda, customer service, and guess what I get? Voicemail! I'm going to officially say it, "Texas Hot Rods is a crap company that doesn't ship what they...

    THR (TExas Hot Rods)?

    Well it looks like they are trying to screw me. They sent my wife an email saying the part is back ordered for 2 more weeks. So I call a friend of mine who is a Mac authorized dealer and he said they are not backordered at all. So I email Brian at THR 2-3 times. Guess what!!!!! No response, what...

    THR (TExas Hot Rods)?

    My wife ordered a CAI for my 99 Cobra Dec 6th. After a few days of no communication, she inquired and was told it would be 5-7 days to process the order. She waited another 5 days, she emails again. Another 3 days, another email. Both with no response. So I contact Brian(owner?) and he emails me...

    Tail lights

    Has anyone here separated thier tail light housings from the lenses on the 99-04's? I recently purchased a back up set for my 99 Cobra. I want to redo the housing chrome but the 99-04's don't go together like the 87-93. Is it even possible? I tried the oven thing(with no instructions) on a...

    Has anyone separated tail light lenses

    I'm wondering if anyone has successfully separated the lenses from the housing on a 99-04 Cobra. I purchased a spare set of 99,01 Cobra brake lights. I plan on separating the housing to restore the inner housing. I also have a cracked brake light I was experimenting on and the lense became...

    Aluminum driveshaft opinions

    Your right, kinda. The outside of the driveshaft is so close to the center of it's rotational force that any gain is minimal. Compare it to being on a merry go round. the closer to the center you get, the less pull you feel. So wether it's steel or aluminum, it's so close to the center. the...

    silver painted saleen wheels

    I'm sure you can polishe them but it would be a PITA to keep them polished unless you cleared them. All that work, it'd be easier to just get chromed ones.

    Styling Bar With Roll Over Protection?

    I have a 6 point in my Cobra. The door bars are removable though. I think the roll cage is much more aggressive looking, and I get constant comments about how bad a$$ it looks. Of course I like road track events and SCCA mandates a roll cage on verts.

    98 GT transformation Q's

    Depending on the TT set up, you might need a tubular K member. On some set ups you must use tubular A arms, and coil overs too. Not sure what Cobra engine you're wanting to use but Hellion has a TT set up for the 03-04 Cobra that includes the K member and coil overs.

    Thought you guys would appreciate this :P

    :lol: HAAAAAAAA!!!! I actually had the top down on the Cobra yesterday. Bah, ha, ha, ha! And for the record I'm from upstate NY where it's not uncommon to get into the -30/40's. I moved to Alabama to get away from that crap!:D :rlaugh:

    chirpinn

    I have those too. Watch out, the MX's are extremely soft tires. A few good burnouts and you might be spending $500 for a new set of rear tires.:nice:

    Potential problems for 99 cobra?

    I actually found my Cobra on STANGNET!! And from the time that I first saw it until the time I picked it up was 4 days. And there was a plane ticket and flight in there too. But I totally agree with being patient. As long as when the right car comes along you're prepared to ponce like a...

    Potential problems for 99 cobra?

    I live in Birmingham and I flew to Alexandria VA to get mine. I was assured there was nothing wrong before I got the plane ticket. $12,500 is what I paid over 2 years ago. It had 74,000 miles and a folder with over $10k in reciepts. I've been told I'm the guy people tell the "you wouldn't...

    18x9 18x10 Fr500's on my cobra

    You are correct about them being a PITA to upkeep, but mine not a daily driver so it's not too bad. I bought my rims from AM, and as for American Muscle offering white FR500's. I called there customer service and I was told they don't offer white FR500's, they don't do custom orders and they...

    BBK tb, hanging idle

    So I'm changing plugs a week ago and while I had the CAI off I decided to clean the BBK TB. Bad idea I guess. Now I have a high hanging idle that I can't find the culprit. CAI is sealed(checked twice), changed AIC valve, installed the Ford hanging idle fix plate. I had to close one port on the...
