    any one converted to irs?

    Seems like you have had some frustrations with your IRS. But it's not as bad as you make it out to be. Yes the design is compromised from the very beginning. But so is the standard mustang straight axle suspension design. I say it all depends on what you want to do with your car. Drag...

    Will a 275/35/18 fit in the front on 96 Cobra?

    I have 265/35/18s on 2000 R wheels on the front of mine and no rubbing yet. 275's shouldn't cause much of a problem.

    I know there is an interest in this...96-98 Hood

    Actually it was just a simple line drawing done in paint. It's on my computer at work and I don't have e-mail at work. Maybe I can try and get it on this computer somehow! I'll see what I can do. Maybe we could get one pf the photoshop gurus in the virtual body shop to do some magic.

    I plan on doing a plug change soon on my '96 and I'm thinking of going with the Denso iridium plugs or the NGK iridiums. What is the correct size to use in my basically stock snake? Also anyone have any recommendations about plug gap or just go with factory gapping? Thanks for all you help!

    Need Help!! '96 Cobra overheating!

    took a look at it yesterday and it looks like the thermo is sticking. So does anybody know the factory thermostat temp? Would it be ok if I went with a 180 degree thermo. Someone said the Cobra might not idle right if I went with a different temp thermo. So would a 180 temp be fine or...

    Need Help!! '96 Cobra overheating!

    thanks for all your suggestions. I know it hasn't had the cooling TSB. But I've never had a problem with it since I bought it in '99. So that should rule that and the warped cylinder head (due to overheating) out. I believe it's the thermo seeing as how it has 120,000 miles. So something...

    Painting Calipers

    I used the Duplicolor Metal-Cast paint to do my brakes. The color almost matches the Cobra perfectly and it looks better having the calipers matching the paint. :banana: I masked off the "COBRA" with masking tape then removed and sprayed on the high-temp gloss clear. Trinity

    TIRE DELIMA!!!!!!!!!

    I have 2000 Cobra R's (18x9) on my Cobra. The fronts are 265/35-18s and the rears are 295/35-18s. I run BFG g-force KD. The only problem I had was with the passenger side tail pipe on my MAC catback. But it was nothing a 2.5-5lb hammer didn't take care of. It's not lowered so I'm not...
