    Free Mod to the Cobra!

    i have been meaning to do this for a long time, and i just got around to it today. i moved the stock spoiler back on the Cobra! i wish i would have done this a long time ago. it wasnt nearly as difficult as i was expecting it to be and it improves the look SO much. i think the 99-00 wing is...

    Got Dyno Tuned!!

    numbers were not anything amazingly spectacular....but the torque starts nice and low. the tuner and i dont thing the compression is quite as high as originally thought. but that just means it will take boot in the future much better. also the guy who tuned my car said that he tuned a car...

    Wheel Bearing problem?

    block / heads question

    someone asked me a question that i was not 100% sure about. can you put PI heads on a teksid / WAP block? i was fairly certain you can, because you can put 4v heads on a regular non-pi/ pi block. but so long as they use the timing cover and stuff from the original motor it should work. i...

    my wheel project (pics)

    last year when i was driving my GT i didnt have an extra set of winter wheels. unfortunately chicago winter kicked my 18x9 and 18x10 FR500 wheels ass. the salt started pitting the dish on the rears (didnt do much for the lip on the fronts either). this year, when i got my cobra it came with the...
