    A/C Question... Identifying a Broken Line (PIC)

    Thanks a lot! Seems from what ive just read i'll have to replace the dryer/accumulator either way since the line was broken and everything was exposed to moisture and dirt....Time to take it to a shop instead of doing it myself unfortunately.

    A/C Question... Identifying a Broken Line (PIC)

    Well, long story short... When the engine blew and I was removing the Valve Covers to investigate, I managed to break one of the A/C lines located near the firewall on the passenger's side and simply need help identifying the name of the line so I can finally replace it and have some A/C.... Not...

    how else can i get better traction on street?

    I noticed a BIG change in traction with the old GT when i went with some Lakewood LCA's and Subframes. I'd say combining that with a set of Drag Radials (have fun if it ever rains :( ) should help significantly.

    H&R SS spring AFTER pics..

    I had those exact rims and springs on my black GT back in the day...the stance is killer. They'll settle a bit as well in the next few weeks in the front and itll look even better. I wish they made the Super Sports for IRS cars :mad:

    Unexplained ENGINE FAILURE in the '01 Cobra

    Drain the oil from the car and have some good news. First, there were no metal shavings to be found and the oil looked very clean. And also, the pan had a good 3-4 quarts still left in it meaning the motor did not get close to running dry. I went ahead and unbolted all 16 bolts holding the oil...

    Unexplained ENGINE FAILURE in the '01 Cobra

    Well, I hope Thanksgiving was good fo all of you because let's just say mine consisted of oil and metal.... I let my very close friend borrow the Cobra in the morning to make a quick trip to his house and back before everyone gathered for the Thanksgiving feast. Caught a ride with my sister to...

    Finally took the 01 Cobra to the track

    Glad the winds died down after that crazy night lol. They were cleaning debris off the track every half hour and the lines were going extremely slow. Ill be making another attempt in a week or two i think and hopefully have a helmet, just busy this weekend

    Finally took the 01 Cobra to the track

    I was actually amazed at the amount of crappy drivers out at the track despite the good weather. Everytime i head out there, i laugh. IE: a G37s running 15.8's and i saw about 4-5 modded 05+ GT's consistently in the low 14's all night. No Joke, i was tempted to throw them out and jump in the...

    Finally took the 01 Cobra to the track

    Well, after a year of owning the car and doing nothing but a simple exhaust swap, i figured id see what a mostly stock 01 Cobra would run at the track. It was a pretty cool night, so that helped out some but the 20mph headwind made it a bit more fun at 100+mph at the end of the track and was a...

    Bassani or SLP

    Ive had both setups and ot be honest, the Bassani sounds better, but I LOVE a loud ass car, and well, SLP does a good job of making that happen on the Cobra :D . The fit on the SLP actually was a bit better than the Bassani, but both are great and can't go wrong with either. If you want a...

    Low RPM misfire from 1k-2k RPM's PLEEASE HELP!!! Frustrated

    Cool, glad you fixed the problem. Funny thing is i fixed the misfire on the Cobra just 2 days ago, too. Like a whole new car...Turned out that the MAF needed to be cleaned and it cost me nothing :nice:

    Low RPM misfire from 1k-2k RPM's PLEEASE HELP!!! Frustrated

    Keep us updated on the situation. I thought it was an O2 sensor at first since you said the problem is when the car warms up, meaning its in closed loop and using the sensors for the air/fuel mixture, but the code gives it away now. Hope the plugs fix it for ya because thats about as cheap as a...

    battery light on sometimes???

    I had this exact problem and then the light started coming on more frequently, until eventually it just stayed on. Car's electronics died and ended up being the alternator of course. Its not too hard to remove the alternator on these cars, so i suggest taking it to an auto parts place and having...

    Black wheels. why?

    Dude, i was freakin driving next to you today on I-45! I was in that dirty ass RED 01 Cobra with Chrome Rims and Cobra R Hood. I passed you a few times right before the retards in that crappy Camaro blew by. :nice:

    How to make my stang beat 2005 gt ?

    Understandable, i'm just saying its not fair to quote a ****ty driver like that as a comparison to an 05+ GT because its just a joke. Even at 1600 ft, a 13.68 in a Mach 1 with all of those mods on a tire is extremely sad. A Mach1 on a tire like your car and with the same mods will most likely...

    How to make my stang beat 2005 gt ?

    For real. trying to rev out to 7k with stock gears in this car is just humorous. Even when I get some room to play and romp on it, I never even get out of 2nd lol. Its sad really

    caught in traffic

    SRT, for the love of God if you tell us one more time how many times you've seen the 2 cars next to each other, i'll fly to Cali and go to that show FIVE TIMES just so I can come on here and mention 17 times in this thread that I saw the cars next to each other 5 times. FIVE times i saw...

    How to make my stang beat 2005 gt ?

    Gear that son of a bitch as soon as possible and you'll be running waaay better. Jump up to some 4.10's from those 3.55's and itll make a world of difference and make daily driving easier too. I roll around with the stock 3.27's in the Cobra that revs to 7k and i can't wait to get some 4.10's in...
