    Best color on an SN95?

    My 95 GTS was a blue that I believe was called "Lapis". I imagine it was pretty rare as I don't recall seeing another car that color. Wish I had a pic :(

    High heat + cold water = cracked windshield :(

    I'll check with the insurance, don't have full coverage if that matters. I've washed cars in high heat plenty of times, this is a new one on me. I didn't see even the tiniest crack before where the crack started today. I think a friend can help with the install, so maybe I'll come out with...

    High heat + cold water = cracked windshield :(

    Just washed my car in this heat, and the freakin windshield cracked :notnice: So how hard is it to install a windshield if I want to try this myself? And what a good price for one? TIA.

    Severe wheel hop from 89 GT....quad shocks?

    Well I figured the upper/lower combo would be a little bit of a strain on the ole wallet right now. Not looking to race this car anytime soon, just would like to get rid of the hop.

    Severe wheel hop from 89 GT....quad shocks?

    Suspension is all stock as far as I know, and this thing wheel hops really bad. Maybe the quad shocks are wore out? Could the shocks also play a role in it?

    How to remove windshield wiper on 89 GT?

    I thought there was a little clip you pushed back and then the wiper would just pull right off. Tried that, no luck....am I missing something? :shrug:

    Anyone do their own window tint?

    Thanks, I like trying new things.....if they aren't too expensive ;) Now I just gotta find out what tint to stay away from (a guy told me the tint shops use a better tint than what you'd get at say AutoZone).

    Anyone do their own window tint?

    Thinking about saving a few bucks and doing mine myself. The only 2 things I've heard that you have to do for sure for a good job is use a window cleaner with no amonia and use good tint. Anyone got any more details? What would be a good cleaner and good tint? TIA.

    Need help removing 2 things from paint....

    I don't know exactly what a claybar is (sounds like a bar made of clay ;) ), but can it be used to try and make old paint look better? I had one body and paint guy ask me to describe the paint so he could tell me what could be done with it if anything. Only way I could describe it is...

    Need help removing 2 things from paint....

    I taped off around the door and quarter glass trim on my 89 GT to Krylon the trim. Well it looks a lot better, but I got some Krylon paint on the quarter panel :bang: Can I get this off? Also I ran out of scotch tape and used another type of tape on one part and it wouldn't easily peel away...

    Anyone have a LOT of miles on a 03 Cobra? Like 100,000?

    I've seen a few 96+ Cobras with lots of miles, I'm guessing around 100,000 or more. Never heard of any problems. Once I saw an 03 Cobra, it became my dream. I figured I'd wait a few years till they would drop into my price range and I'd ****** up a nice used one. I didn't think miles would...

    Anyone have a LOT of miles on a 03 Cobra? Like 100,000?

    There's one for sale here that I was told has high miles, almost 100,000 mostly highway miles. I would expect these cars to last a long time, but just wondering if anyone's put a lot of miles on these cars and how they've been holding up. I'm expecting that they hold up pretty well if the...

    Where to get wiring harness for 89 GT with "Premium Stereo"?

    I should have been more specific and asked exactly what harness I need to get....can't always trust the Best Buy and Cicuit City guys. I'm only going to run the door speakers and rear speakers off of a new head unit. So I'm not sure if there's a harness that deletes the dash speakers or if...

    Where to get wiring harness for 89 GT with "Premium Stereo"?

    I'm going to put a cd player in an 89 GT and would like to go the easy route with a harness instead of hacking the harness. I found a harness for a non "Premium Stereo" equiped car, which I think is the 4 speaker cars. This car has 6 and they are "Premium" speakers.....ok, they're not really...

    Decent/cheap 6.5 coax's?

    I'm just doing a simple system for now and will put 2 sets of 6.5 coax's in an 89 GT powered off head unit power. I'm going to hear everything I can locally, but I'd like some opinions from what others have experienced. Midbass (at least a little bit anyway) and a smooth tweet would be nice. Thanks.

    Building audio system on a budget.

    Some people won't like this amp because it's "cheap", but I've had good luck with a Profile CL-800 (only got it after doing lots of searches on forums that said they were prettty solid budget amps). It'll put out 600 x 1 at 4 ohms. I'm most likely going to try an Alpine Type R next with it...

    Nasty Ponies.....what to clean with?

    Just got some ponies for my 89 GT, but they are really dirty. Regular car wash with lots of hard scrubbing still wouldn't get the perfectly clean. Is there anything really good to use here? Thanks.

    Where to get subframe connectors with seat brackets?

    At a reasonable price. 50resto.com is out of stock of their set for $49. Anyone know other places to look? TIA.

    Why does my gas mileage suck?

    Well when you say "more efficient", I'm thinking of comparing mpg of a stock motor vs a blown motor with a bigger fuel system. I know of no blown or turbo cars that get at least as good gas mileage as a stock car. Now none of the cars I know of have had anything but dragstrip and backroads...
