Mike you were correct, apparently my bottoming out so much in atlanta has ruined one of my manifolds. Where as last time it was just loose. I am Just glad it is nothing to serious.

No, besides regular alanta traffic, I have not launched hard, burned out, redlined etc... It just started happening out of nowhere.

I have to agree with saleens4 about the long tubes with roots/whipple blowers. They seem to help very little over standard shorties or even the stock manifolds. But about a year ago i watched 2 identical bullits with vortechs dyno, the only exception being one had long tubes and the other...

So before I go to the dealer, I would like to hear some peoples opinions on what may be wrong with my car. Basically when I give it gas at low rpm's, and when I let off I hear a tapping noise, almost like that of a snare drum. I cant tell if it happens any higher than 3k because of the...

Don't get me wrong I love my stangs, but early nineties dsm's, ( talons eclipses and lasers) if taken care of are very good cars and just as moddable as mustangs. I am currently looking for a talon tsi to accompany my mustangs.

Has anyone noticed that the spoiler looks awfully similar to the one they used on the 99-2000 s351 and current extreme models. I hate to nitpick, but it was designed for a completely different car, and they just slap it on the new one. Any opinions on this?

Its been almost 4 months since I have posted on this board, and I figured I would chime in now since I am in the process of looking for a replacement for my Saleen. I love my car, eventhough I have gone through some serious S**t with it and saleen. I have to agree with what has been said about...

My best run was 308rwhp and 380rwtq. That was with all my mods. As stated above the pulley really didnt help me much since i seemed to be running lean up top. I gained 13 hp with some 3 extra pounds of boost. My worst run was 295 and 356 torque. But it was almost 100 out that day and real...

I thought that saleen stopped using alcon. I also remember reading in one of the magazines that when they stopped using the alcon kit, they switched to a kit that looked similar to the alcons, but was actually the same setup used, not offered, on the cobra r. Only difference would be the paint...

I think the pads are the same as the ones that are sold in the 2000 Cobra R kit. So if you find places that sell that brake kit, they will likely have the pads as well. Just check some of the major places that advertise or have huge magazines. This may not be accurate but i have read that...

Yeah I have had the 3.55 in mine for over three years now. As for traction being a problem, thats BS. I have numerous 1.9 60 foot times to show for. My car is basically the exact same as yours, except that I have a gen 1 m90 blower. Hit me up some time, I am in athens occasionaly.

From what I can tell, that car must be driven a lot and belongs to someone already, most likely a ford exec. Reasons why; There is an XM connection on the dash, and it appears to be a big house with some bimmers in the background. ANYWAYS that is not rust, just a dirty, dirty...

Besides the saleen/eaton blower there are no actual internal mods. Saleen did manage to create a nifty aluminum intake to replace the stock composite piece. There are also 30 lbs injectors. There is the saleen water-to something intercooler, but besides that there were no major mods done to...

I started this exact same thread sometime back, and I totally agree with you. This is a complete joke to me. I have gotten over the IRS fiasco, but this really sucks IMHO. Since 1993 ford has had the 245/45/17 option. Even one year on the 94 cobras, ford used 255's for a while, but they...

I know your pain all too well. This is the typical S**T you have to deal with when you get saleens worked on. Well my story is similar, but i never wrecked my car. Due to a moron AAA tow truck man my front bumper had to be replaced. I wanted to reuse my original which is still useable but...

If Saleen built it, I am not sure if I would want it going into production. But hey maybe they are starting to get better, but i'll believe it when I see it

I was in your boat about 6 years ago. I knew i was not gonna get a new car, nor did i want one. I wanted a 87-93 5.0. For three months we looked, basically at ever 5.0 in the auto trader. i figured i was not gonna get one. turned 16, and ended up getting a 87 marquis with Fi 5.0. After 2...

I have the saleen 18x9/ 18x10 option, and i have the 265/35 up front. Over time they started to rub pretty bad against my saleen sway bar. But i do quite a bit of autox and open track events. On the street they are fine. 295/35's outback are awesome. so much traction, just a bitch to...

Actually in 99 all supercharged s281's cars came with 3.08 gears. Most likely for epa and fuel reasons, but it probably also helped the top end a wee bit as well. If i am not mistaken, i have seen 3.55 optioned on a variety of saleens at team ford in atlanta. Not all being n/a, but they may...

Not sure if i really believe that the cobra had that much of an affect on the tuner sales. The dealer here in atlanta for saleens and steeda is the biggest volume saleen dealer in the world. They said initially it hurt the sales, but over a few months the saleen sales picked up. To the point...
