    Mach 1 Problems selling mach

    You need to get your asking price more in line with what www.kbb.com says for a private party sell and you shouldn't have any problem selling. I have sold two vehicles on autotrader in the last year and both times the vehicles sold within one week of putting on autotrader. I have also...

    245/45/17 on a 9inch rim?

    I had the BFG KDWS's in the 245/45 on the OEM 17x8 rims and didn't like the way they tracked the grooves in the road. When they wore out I ended up putting BFG Gforce Sport 275/40's all the way around on new 03 Cobra 17x9 rims and it really looks good and handles great.

    245/45/17 on a 9inch rim?

    The 245's on a 9" rim will have slightly bowed out sidewalls right at the rim edge. I didn't like the way it looked.

    shifters......

    Get the MGW shifter. I just replaced the Steeda TriAx shifter I've had in my 99 Cobra for the last three years with the MGW. The MGW has a little shorter throw and is much quieter than the Steeda. Don't get me wrong. I liked the Steeda but the MGW is better.

    Removing H-pipe

    An impact swivel socket has the swivel built into the bottom of the socket giving it greater flexibility and keeps the overall length of the socket shorter so it can fit in tighter places. This is a differnt design from a regular swivel socket you would get at Sears, ets. Look at the...

    Removing H-pipe

    You need a 5/8 mid-length swivel impact socket to get the right angle on the nut on passenger side to remove the H-pipe from the exhaust header. Talking from experience. Tried regular swivel sockets for over an hour trying to get at one nut on passenger side. Borrowed the mid-lenght socket...

    Which Mid-Pipe??

    I have the MRT catted H-pipe and love it. It will make the exhaust louder though. I have the Bassani competition street catback system and it made it about half again as loud over my stock H-Pipe.

    losin the flows for bassani

    I have had the stainless steel Bassani catback on my cobra for a while and really liked the deep tone. I just installed the MRT catted h-pipe on Friday and it really sounds awesome now. While making the exhaust louder, it added a much deeper tone, more of a muscle car sound. If you are...

    Try a fatknob Go to www.fatknobs.com. I bought a black one last year for my cobra and love it. It doesn't get too hot or cold and feels great! You can really get a good positive shift with this knob and it's very comfortable too.

    Using peanut butter is a great way to get the wax marks off of the plastic trim. A friend of mine told me about it several years ago and I tried it. Works Great ! Take a small amount of creamy/smooth peanut butter and put it in the microwave for a few seconds to soften it up. Work it...

    K&N trouble

    Once you've reconnected the battery, crank the car and just let it idle for 10 minutes. This will let the computer readjust everything. You can also drive the car for 25 - 40 miles and it will adjust also. I've always just found that it adjusts quicker if you just let it idle 10 minutes the...

    looking at a 99 cobra

    This question is for atvcrazy. I've been thinking about putting the 4.10 gears in my 99 cobra. I was originally going to go with 3.73 but have about made up my mind to get the 4.10 gear set. Do you like your 4.10's? Is the around town driving and cruising more fun with the 4.10 over...

    For those who wondered if a catted X pipe is worth it on a 03/04 Cobra.......

    I have the Bassani catback exhaust on my car. I have been thinking about swapping out my H-pipe with four cats for a catted X-pipe with only two cats. Will my exhaust be louder than it is now? Thanks, Judson
