    '03 Cobra Radiator Swap out Mishimoto

    Installing a Mishimoto Aluminum Radiator and fan. Recently the So Cal temps were making my Cobra overheat slightly. I was hell bent on the Fluidyne but a bunch of people told me that the Mishimoto's were the way to go. I had to move the ABS back a couple of inches to make clearance and it...

    Need a replacement engine for my 99 GT

    What are some good sources for replacement 4.6L engines in Southern California or mail order? Also any resources for rebuilding my 4.6L that spun the crank bearing :shrug: ? I’m not looking for super high performance because I am selling this thing. Thanks in advance.. Dan

    3.73s and 4.11s

    That’s cause you lack the experience that I have had with this exact matter. It's been the case every time someone I know has 4.10's. I will race you on the street when I know your tires are getting low and bet the farm you will squirrel your way off the line. :shrug: Knowing how to drive is...

    3.73s and 4.11s

    3.73's are the best bet in a GT if you want to remain fast through the tires life. You must have deep pockets. My friends have the gear and they drive great. However, keeping your tires is the plan here. If your tires are getting slick after a few miles I will beat you every time with your...

    3.73s and 4.11s

    When your on the street its a pain the ass to get off the line without smoking the tires. If all your doing is track drags with drag radials I agree, but everyone likes to get on it in the street. My buddy has a Mach 1 with 4.30's and a built rear end. On the track with DR's he runs 12.7's on...

    3.73s and 4.11s

    4.11's will be too much gear for the GT. A buddy of mine with a '98 Cobra 4.11's was beating me by 6 car lengths in my GT with 3.27's(Stock). After 3.73's I would edge him everytime as he spun the wheels off the line. I also noticed crap loads of power in 3rd and 4th gear on the freeway. 4.11's...

    My New Cobra had a Blow out

    My new Cobra just had a blow out with 2500 miles on the tire. It was the rear tire with lots of tread and the thing split completely in half with part of tire on each side of the rim. We dug through the tire looking for a nail or screw and found nothing. I took it to Fritz Ford in Riverside CA...

    stuck in reverse

    It’s your shift fork in your gear box and its common. It will cost you $600 + to fix the gear box. Your better off geting a remanufactured tranny by going to Phinex hard parts. After the core charge I got a T-45 for a GT for $500 and its great. They ship UPS. They also put trannys on EBay as a...

    Bring your 03 Cobra to get whooped by..... (PICS)

    Nice car, however before you lay down a challenge like that you should get your ETA's down about 1 second. >>1/4 = 12.2 @ 115 w/1.91 60ft (Stock heads, intake, tb, mass air, gears, and clutch) You can be this time with a $200 mod and an ok driver in the Cobra. But its all in fun..

    I have a 99 GT that is making a grinding noise near the harmonic balancer. It sounds like the timing chain is rubbing against the engine cover. The sound seems to be coming from the area around the harmonic balancer. Background: My check engine light came on 2 months prior with...
