    I am looking at adding a track legal roll bar or cage to my Cobra this spring. Just in case I ever get to a timed track event that requires them:nice:. I've searched the SVT and 4.6 forums, and only found one post recommending the KB roll bars. Is there anybody else using these (or another...

    Random cut-off problem

    I have a gremlin I need help with. On three occasions over the last month, my car has stopped running on the highway.

    Carbon Fiber valve covers (and anything else for that matter)

    I was at the Fall Carlisle swap meet today, and ran into a company that had some nice looking 32v DOHC valve covers on display. I remember SHM having some carbon fiber valve covers for $1200, so I asked him how much he wanted. Turns out, they coat your old valve covers (or other parts for that...

    Should I port & polish my extrude honed intake?

    I have a spare intake manifold assembly that was extrude honed. It feels very smooth to the touch internally, but I was wondering if having it P&P would make a difference? I know a shop I used to goto for work that will do the same type of polish as SHM (cut off the bottom, work the inside...

    99 Cobra performance fix not completed, any advice?

    I spoke with SVT the other day and found out the “performance fix” was never completed on this vehicle. As the “recall” was not safety related, and the vehicle is out of warranty, the fix is no longer free. Bummer! I have spoken with several different shops and got a range of information and...

    I am trying to figure out why my dome light is not getting any power. Both under dash lights are working when I open the door, so the fuse is good. I see the wire in the headliner is black with a blue stripe, and it is the same as the under dash lights. Where is the other end of the dome...
