    2003-2004 Cobra question

    No worries. Mine does the same thing and the dealer says it's normal. How much is he asking for purchase?

    Does your IRS Cobra wag its tail under power?

    It's the nature of the beast. I've replaced pretty much the entire rear subframe and adjoining parts, switched to symmetric tires etc. Best reduction came after replacing all of the bushings - did it myself and it was a real pita!. It still "kicks out" now and then. My track car (S2000)...

    03-04 cobra vs. 03-04 mach 1 vs. 99 cobra

    Save your $$ and get something with better gas mileage, better reliability and a company not going out of business. I drive my Stang now only when I want to listen to the rumble, Saturday night cruise, and guzzle gas. When I go to the track to escape from posers I take either my S2000 or Evo...

    Thinking of buying 2003 Cobra...

    Check the differential and bushings - they're crap and need after market replacing.

    Roll Cage

    I need to install a roll cage that will meet NHRA stanards but am clueless as to how to do it myself. Is this something a dealership or pro shop can do without butchering the interior? Are there any that will allow entry to the rear seat or should I include a rear seat delete kit? Thanks!

    IRS Clunking???

    Rear Suspension Noise I've also encountered the same sound at slow speeds - sounds like a single knock ("pop") independent of road surface, camber, or speed. The sounds did appear after changing the springs (stock to Eibach) and replacing the IRS bushings with some from Steeda. The handling is...

    SS beat an '03 cobra?

    Grow up SS vs SC Cobra? Who gives a f&*$? It's the age-old story of every young gun wanting to make a name for himself by taking down a shootist. Real drivers/tuners don't cruise the streets in search of pissing contests to impress their "gf", or worse bragging about things they've never done...

    Kenny Brown Aluminum IRS bushings arrived!!!

    Please share your results and supply pictures too. I've had three different speciality shops refuse to install the bushings on my 2003 Cobra. A call to Kenny Brown reportedly stated that the bushings would only fit after cutting about an inch out of the mounts. The change in pinion angle was...

    Kenny Brown Differential Brushings Kit

    Has anyone installed these successfully? I've had several pro shops refuse to install them as they would change the pinion angle. A call to Kenny Brown's Center in Indianapolis resulted in some questionable suggestions (i.e., cutting one-and-a-quarter inches into the mounts). I bought them to...

    Bassani on a 98 Cobra...Good Idea?

    I installed Bassani aft-cats, AL version as they were much cheaper than the SS ones. They jig work and bends are exactly the same. They will not last as long, but will probaly out last most cars. The best part was the fit. Bassani really made the tolerances close to OEM so installation was a...

    Shifter

    Could those viewers with an after market shifter (e.g., Pro 5.0, etc.) share their experiences? I'd like to change from the stock shifter (03 Cobra) and have heard varying opinions. What's your's? Thanks.

    Exhaust Baffles

    Thanks discot. I'll give it a try. Hissman - here's a tip for you. Modern electrical devices do not operate with the batteries "up side down." It reverses the polarity in DC circuits. Please use the forum for helpful exchanges.

    Exhaust Baffles

    Thanks for the reply, but I'm stumped. I did a comparison again with and without the baffles and it really is much quieter without them installed. I even borrowed a friends' noise-level meter (cheap one from Radio Shack) and it was around 75 dB SPL with them installed at idel and 12" from the...

    Exhaust Baffles

    Just installed a set of Bassani aft-cat exhausts. They work well, but have in the chrome tips baffles that can be easily removed. I've tried it and they actually sounds more quiet. Does someone have any information on performance with and without the baffles? Thanks in advance for sharing...
