Alright, I've been using 91 or 93 octane for my snake for the 10 months I've owned it. One cobra owner (owned a 96 as well) told me not to stop as they can't use any lower octane. Is this true or have I been bamboozled?

I love my 4.30's. I thought about backing down to 3.73's since the prices in the area of VA/DC I live are rediculous...but I just can't do it.

I'm 23 and have a 96 cobra. USAA was a lot more expensive than Geico was for me. I pay 167 a month full coverage. I have one point on my license still and when I got the insurance, it'd been over a year since I had any. Keep your driving record clean, do well in school, and DON'T be without...

Well, I appreciate the sympathy and information. My car was repaired pretty much using a helicoil. Obviously, they had to pull the engine and take the head off to do it, but with that and brake and rotor replacement for the rear, it ran me $650. Apparently, the guy who did the work on my car...

Just curious what people use to keep their leather clean and conditioned as well as their carpets and dash, etc.

just wash: 2.5 hours wash and wax: 3.5 hours everything: 4.5-5 hours i might be too anal

yeah i agree. not much you can do to keep brake dust off the rims...but wax definitely helps when cleaning.

good call, i'll definitely try that out when she's fixed. thanks.

it's not really that big of a deal, i'm just anal since the gov't doesn't really pay much. as long as you're not braking at high speeds really hard, it shouldn't do much more (if any) than an automatic.

well, i see my break pads like big pencil erasers. the more you use them and the harder you use them, the faster they wear out.

my 96 does the same thing. ive noticed when i downshift farther from the stop it doesn't do it. i usually let the rpm's go down to about 1500 or so before i push the clutch. it's died on me a couple times...i definitely look cool when that happens... anyway, like i said, i'll usually...

once you get the water spots off, you want to make sure you keep em off... I've got a black 96 cobra. To keep it nice i usually wash the wheels first so the water on the body doesn't leave spots. I've noticed the trick is to keep the car wet until you're ready to dry it. I've got a few of...

A buddy of mine mentioned that last night. Thanks! Just hoping now it won't cost an arm and a leg and my first born...

Is it common, semi-common, or insane that I blew a spark plug out of the cylinder? It looks like the guy I purchased my cobra from didn't exactly replace the plugs and wires properly and now I'm in trouble. The threads on the head are stripped, but the plugs threads aren't beat up at all...
