    Car feels "bumpy"...help!!!

    Do you think it's possible you just had a loose steering column before? I think that may very well be your answer. If you don't hear any additional clunks, crunches, or growls under heavy braking/acceleration, and tossing the car through some twisties, I'd guess your ok. I don't know the...

    CAI + Water = Water in engine?

    The fender well cai on my 99 cobra hasn't ever had any problems in the pouring rain. Some years we only get a month or two without rain in the Northwest, and the car hydroplanes all the time. I drove through some really deep puddles back a few years when everything flooded out here, and never...

    answer please roush exst 99 cbra

    I don't see why not. I think you have to notch the subframes if you have them and if you lower the car at all, you will be scraping on everything.

    Mach 1 or 2004 Cobra

    99-01 cobra for less than 15k, slap a kb on it and put the rest(the rest you saved on not buying an 04 cobra) into beefing up the suspension/tranny/rearend.

    Heater Core

    If it's an electrolosis problem get that stupid thing grounded! Solder on a ground strap to that thing before you put it in. Also, you can check if you have a grounding problem with a volt meter. I think if it's like 1.x V(it could be .1 amps with my memory) between ground and your radiator...

    Dash Warp in my 2000 SVTC

    Removing a dash is way harder than a clutch job IMO. I will never do it again...

    05 saleen

    Just a reminder, the 5.0L cammer car(the yellow one/carbon fiber hood/ugly wing/chrome side exhaust which is in red at the top of the screen) was designed by Saleen, so I would assume that thiers will look a lot like that.

    Is magnaflow the only '03-'04 SVT specific aftermarket exhaust??

    I drive a 99 4v, but it's exactly what I was looking for. It has a slight drone that I notice but no one else in the car does @ ~ 2k rpms. I know the bassani baffles fit the tips perfectly so if it ever starts to annoy me I may spend the $35.00 for those.

    Do you use your Cobra as a daily driver?

    10K miles/year daily driver for me. If I wanted a show/weekend car I'd build one.

    Is magnaflow the only '03-'04 SVT specific aftermarket exhaust??

    I use magnaflow. I believe it took me less than an hour to install mine. Everything bolted up perfect, no cutting, grinding or welding. I just used some jack stands and basic tools. Great fit and finish IMO.

    port an pollish

    A port and polish is one of the last things to do on an N/A car. Usual results are in the area of 10-15hp on a full bolt on car, less on yours(maybe none?). You need full exhaust before you do the heads...aka headers, mid-pipe, cat-back.

    anyone interested in merkur XR

    The merkur is the 2.3L that was in the SVO stangs. It doesn't come with an intercooler and I think stock is around 170-190hp(?). There are plenty of them running around europe with well over 400hp. From the owners I've known, they all love the car. I know the land speed record for a 4cyl was...

    traction control ?

    I bet the guy that did the tranny bumped the back of the switch and it's just not plugged in. Check that.

    Doesn't sound like a suspension problem... and subframes can only be a good thing.

    New Mustang Shelby

    Nope, there was one Shelby (maybe two) concept convertible proto's made early this year/late last year and now they just came out with the concept for the hardtop version of the same car with the same v-10, built on the same platform. It's the silver one on the opening screen of stangnet. It...

    CAI screen

    For the guy asking the question... "rich" = more fuel in the air/fuel ratio "lean" = more air in the air/fule ratio

    How much is it worth? (Pic of burn out)

    Regardless of paint, selling a 50k miles 99 cobra isn't going to be easy. You may be able to add 10% of the price of your paint job onto the price of the car realistically. I do know you definitly need to unload that thing before fall/winter though. Prices are going to start dropping on used...
