    1998 Cobra complete rebuild

    I have a 1998 Cobra with about 80,000 miles and, unfortunately, a spun bearing. I was thinking of selling her, but I am moving into a larger place with a larger garage, and have decided to completely overhaul the car instead. Here's what I was thinking of doing, and I want people to feel free...

    How much did you pay for your 96-98 Cobras?

    I paid 11,500 a couple of months ago for my 1998 with 44.5k on the clock. It had a full stalker body kit, Steeda T/A and pulleys, Bilstein shocks and eibach springs when I got it. Dang, cobra_fanatic... 25,000 miles per year on a Cobra? If I have to start driving that much I'm getting me a...

    Questions on C&L MAF and inlet tube on 1998 Cobra

    I just got my C&L MAF and trueflow inlet pipe (both C&L), and installed them last Saturday. The install was easy enough, only took about 20 minutes all said and done. Had to buy some of those tamper-resistant torx bits, but no biggy, only $10. Anyway, to my question. Like I said, it installed...

    POLL: reccomendations for my 98 Cobra Summer mod

    I was thinking about getting DR's, but I really won't see too much track time. Also, I would have to get wheels to go with, since my car sees a lot of highway miles. DR's + highway miles = $$$. As for getting a midpipe, I want to stay with a catalytic system. Not only does it make it a little...

    POLL: reccomendations for my 98 Cobra Summer mod

    I've also thought about replacing the factory exhaust, but for the cost of that I believe I can get a lot more performance out of the beast. I actually might add the exhaust instead of dyno tuning the car, and then getting it tuned next fall or something, or maybe I'll just do it all at once...

    YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS STANG ON eBAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Wow... it's amazing that they are even trying to sell that car. Something like that has got to only look good to one person... the idiot who had it made that way. The interior reminds me of a Shar Pei, you know, those wrinkly dogs. But compared with this car, a Shar Pei is a goddess. And even...

    POLL: reccomendations for my 98 Cobra Summer mod

    The car is deinfately staying NA. Not only is the car plenty fast as is, but I had a FI car before, and there's a lot to be said for not having to worry about your engine going south on you. :banana: BANANA :banana: BANANA :banana:

    POLL: reccomendations for my 98 Cobra Summer mod

    Well, it looks like out of 5 people so far, all 5 have voted for the gears and tune. If those prices are accurate for around here, I'd be looking at ~$900 for everything. Gears, installation, chip, and tuning. Not bad.

    POLL: reccomendations for my 98 Cobra Summer mod

    I'm going to be putting about $1000 or so into my new 1998 Cobra this summer, and I'm thinking about going down one of two routes. Before I go into them, here's my current list of mods: Steeda pulleys and T/A, C&L MAF and inlet pipe (soon to be installed), K&N drop in filter, stock gears...

    Tuners in the So Cali area?

    Hm, that's a good 65 miles from where I would be driving from. Maybe I'll call them and get rates. I had forgotten about the West Coast forums; I'll be sure to post this there too. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Tuners in the So Cali area?

    Anyone here know of any good tuners in the Southern California area? I am going to be getting new gears in this summer, and I might as well get it tuned while I'm in the spending mood. Does X2C (Van Nuys, where I want to get my gears done) do tuning? If so, anyone know a ballpark figure of...

    Cobra/SVT emblem powdercoating questions

    True about the cost of making the emblems. I found one version of the front Cobra that is metal, it's like $30 though. Maybe I'll just have to experiment with various spraypaints or something until I find something that looks the part. The tough thing is going to be getting the emblems down to a...

    Cobra/SVT emblem powdercoating questions

    I was thinking about powdercoating my cobra emblems on the fenders and the SVT logo on the trunk lid a smokey black color over chrome... it looks really good on wheels and other trim pieces, and I think it would look especially clean on my black 98 Cobra. Here are my questions: 1) Are the...

    Got my new (to me) 1998 Cobra!!!!

    I'm finally offically a Cobra owner now. Picked my new black beauty in Texas last Friday (March 5th), and got it home in California on Sunday night. There are some older pics here, but I took some new ones. As soon as I get them transferred to my computer, I'll post them up here for y'all.

    Factory injector size on 1998 Cobra

    Believe it or not, I actually did a bunch of searching on this, and could not find an answer! I think I heard somewhere that the factory size is 19#, but I'm not 100% sure. Thanks in advance for anyone who helps me out.

    What MP3 radio/cd to get for 2001 gt

    I just bought a 1998 Cobra with the Blaupunkt San Jose cd/mp3 player, and it works great. Combined with the Blaupunkt 5-disc in-dash changer makes for a perfect combination.

    California Duster?!

    The truth has been spoken. I have used mine on my last 3 cars (same duster, 3 cars), and it works great. But what pwr said about a hot car is true, it will leave streaks, especially on windows.
