    2010 GT500 Coupe Takeoff Wheels and Tires

    These are takeoffs from a 2010 GT500. I bought them from another svtperformance memeber and never used them. Have since sold the car. I was told they have 3000 miles on them. They are all in great condition and the tires have plenty of wear in them. Great for an extra set for your Shelby or...

    Help! Big Problem with Brakes

    My front brakes were dragging really bad, so I bought new calipers and stainless steel lines. I figure I can rebuild the old calipers and use them on one of my other mustangs. Anyway... My problem came when changing the stainless lines. The flare nuts were already stripped when I went to...

    Brake problem today

    I just got the car 5-6 months ago. Don't know if it was changed before that. I'll change it and let you know if it happens again. Of course, the only way to really check it is a good romp in the canyons. :D That should be fun.

    Brake problem today

    I was in slow traffic, so I wasn't using the brakes to the point of boiling the fluid from the caliper up, or cracking the rotor, but it was hot out, 115+ degrees. I believe the engine heat and Phoenix temps had something to do with it. Is that possible? Now my brakes work fine as they did...

    Brake problem today

    Hello all, I was driving in very slow traffic today and I had the AC going full blast. The temp outside hit about 117 today. My water temp started to rise a little bit, which is normal for those conditions. I'm hopin someone can explain what happened next. My brakes started to give out. I...

    2003 Cobra help.....New to StangNet.

    +1 about the throttle body. Not much gain unless you're over 500+ hp. For the money, get some good sticky tires and have fun. And definitely get a new tune like UM said. Mac

    Tires

    It depends on what brand/type of tire you want to run. 315 works for Nitto 555R drag radials, but others say no. The limiting factor seems to be the upper IRS subframe bolts. They stick out. You can grind them down for more clearance or buy MM bolts that are rounded so if they rub, it won't...

    New 03/04 Cobra recall?

    I guess I'll be waiting a while longer before I tear into my motor.:nice:

    ROTORS

    I bought all four rotors on ebay. They are brembo cross drilled and slotted. They also zinc plated the rotors to resist corrosion. Very good price. As far as cracking, I wouldn't worry too much about that unless you're going road racing, the ones I got are great for daily driving. Mac

    Anyone ever replaced a fog light on a 03 Cobra?

    If you got the whole housing, all you need to do is lift the car up, get under, disconnect the electrical connector, and remove the four corner screws. Mac

    Phoenix Shop

    I'm looking for a good shop in Phx, AZ, who can do engine work. I'm also looking to do a leak down test on my motor. If anyone can recommend someone with quality, please let me know. Thanks, Mac

    High RPM miss 97 cobra

    Have you had problems starting or at idle? What did you gap the new plugs at? What are all your mods? Does your car ever surge or hesitate? What gap did you set the new plugs at? I have full msd on my 95 Cobra and I have never had any problems with their products, but mine is a distributor...

    99 cobra or 04 R1

    That's sounds great! The 636 is a very good bike and is much more forgiving than an R1. You'll still be able to go extremely fast and your skills will have room to "grow", but the safety margin will be quite a bit higher. Congrats. Let me know if you're ever in Phoenix and we'll hit the canyons.

    99 cobra or 04 R1

    I have a 2005 ZX10R which is at least as powerful as an R1. I would go with the Cobra out of experience. Better deal on the Cobra. More practical for DD use. Much safer for a young man, no matter how responsible one is. You may wreck the car hot rodding, but you'll wreck yourself hot...

    Wobble in the rear @ 80+ mph

    Wow, I can't believe I remember Murrays, I was born in Michigan! Anyway, thanks for the info, I can always learn something. If I had the part number for the timken bearing I would have felt better about Pep Boys. Piece of mind for an extra $30. You live and learn.:bang: Mac

    Wobble in the rear @ 80+ mph

    Some things I just want to know that I have the right part the first time so nothing further goes wrong. I probably could have found it from somewhere else with some research, but you never know. Mac

    Wobble in the rear @ 80+ mph

    I couldn't find a shop open after 5:00 pm who would press the bearing out for me. Guess it'll have to wait for the weekend. The bearing is definitely shot, but the axle nut wasn't even torqued on at all. This is probably why the bearing is now bad. The bearing from Ford cost me $60. The new...

    Wobble in the rear @ 80+ mph

    Wow, just the thread I was looking for! I have some of the same symptoms with my 2003 Cobra. I took it in to get it aligned and they told me the alignment was all out of whack (I purchased it about 3 weeks ago). They said I would need new struts because mine were shot and that was partly to...
