    400K Alarm shock sensor? Valet button/LED?

    I think the shock sensor on my alarm system has gone bad. If I fart within 10 feet of the car it chirps. Every Harley on the eastern seaboard sets it off. It used to take a swift bump to chirp much less go full crazy. I see the picture of the sensor in the 400K alarm manual but where the hell...

    Front tire wearing funny, Whats wrong? pics inside

    I just had the car aligned back in October and I've driven it about 1000 miles since. I dont think its out of alignment from potholes because it still drives the same, which is pretty good. I've still got a tire wear issue on the front driver's side. I cannot figure this out! This is the 2nd...

    400K Security system valet switch in 95 Cobra?

    I was thumbing through the security system manual and noticed a reference to the "Valet mode" on the 400/400K systems. It says the LED is also a switch you push for different functions like valet or carwash mode. My car has had a plain LED since I've had it. I never knew otherwise until...

    Do your 96-98 tail light lenses come off for painting?

    I bought some new 96-98 tail lights and when I got them one bezel (the painted part) was broken. The bezel can be removed with 3 screws on the bottom and clips around the top and sides. Do the factory 96-98 tail lights also have a removeable bezel? :shrug: The 94-95 bezel is not...

    95 Cobra Left turn bump/clunk

    Starting this morning I noticed a fairly firm clunk when turning left at lower speeds such as a street corner or parking space. It is usually between the 9 o'clock and 6 o'clock position. When I return to straight, there isn't a return clunk. It drives fine on the highway but its likely...

    Need new tail lights, any ideas?

    So the tail lights on my 95 Cobra are getting a little faded. There is some debate on how difficult it might be to repaint the housings. Is there a company that sells new horizontal bar tail lights in factory colors? I'd pay anything to get a new set of Rio Red horizontals. If not, what...

    Paint fading on tail lights, paint or buy new?

    I have a 95 Cobra with the horizontal bar style tail lights. They are starting to fade along the top of each bar and look like crap now. Are these things re-paintable? It seems to be nearly impossible to properly tape and prepare these for paint. The plastic lenses aren't in the best of shape...

    My 95 Cobra has the horizontal bar style tail lights and the top edges of the painted surface is starting to fade. It looks awful! :nonono: Is there a way to repaint these tail lights? If not, does anybody make reproduction units in factory paint? (I really hate the aftermarket euro junk)...

    95 Cobra Cutting off in Traffic, Restarts after 1-10 minutes, Help!

    This problem started for me back in the fall when it was warm. It has now started up again so it seems to be heat related. The engine cuts off usually sitting in traffic or at low speeds. It has happened about 8 times so far. When I try to restart, it turns over like normal but never...

    Will both rear tailpipes come out from under a 95 without jacking it up? My car is lowered 3/4" and the pipes are 2 1/2". It looks really tight twisting them over the rear axle. I'm assuming the come out easiest by pulling them over the axle and out from under the rear bumper. Any help is...

    Anyone tried the Meguiars Cordless Buffer?

    I saw this on their website. Their larger buffer is made by porter cable. Just like the PC, its $200+. Thats a little high for me. Has anyone tried the cordless one? It uses 6.5" pads, comes with a couple batteries etc. It sells for about $90. Thanks.

Recently, I have noticed that the drivers side front tire is wearing really bad. The strange thing is that the tire is wearing down on the outside. Even...
