    Opinions on a car I'm looking at

    Well, with the 96-98s and 8psi...it's hit or miss. Some break, some don't..... Seriously suggest SOLID tune and look for pistons and rods. Daily, it'll be really fun...almost too fun. ;)

    Aftermkt Cams..? 96-98

    Cams cost so much because there are 4 of them.....Crower offers quite a few options.....400...that's not going to be easy IMO. Toss a 100 shot on and call it a day ;) crappy pistons and rods too....

    Auto tranny for the 96 Cobra

    Hello Gents, I'm in trouble...I've gotten tired of the stick. Cali and traffic and all that, and I'm just getting lazy ;) So, with the stock DOHC (exhuast whoppadeedoo) can I just run the GT auto on the car with an Auto ECU and flash it for the Cobra? It's a process I'm willing to go...

    First Mod For the Snake (Catback Exhaust)

    It depends on what you want out of an exhaust. do you want something that's mellow until you get on it or do you not care and want as much horsepower as possible?

    96-98 Cobra pro-cons...

    I picked up my 96 for 10,000. Another difference between the 96s and the 97-98s is the 96s don't have the adjustable side support in their seats, just the lumbar. The seats are worthless anyway as you'll find out the first time you go sliding off.

    96 cobra mods

    You're going to be hard pressed against a camm'd LS1 to start with. Drag runs or street? The first thing I'd do is throw a 4.10 or 4.30 in and some Crower cams. You can bore the engine out but stroking takes away rev speed which is something OHC's rely on a lot more than pushrod...

    Crank bolt pattern on the 96 DOHC?

    My searching skills are lacking today. I'm replacing the clutch with a Centerforce DF and I figured I might as well go with an aluminum flywheel and driveshaft while I'm at it. Problem is, I don't know if my 1996 4.6L DOHC is a 6 bolt or 8 bolt. Anyone help me out? Thanks

    Brake lights, Turn signal and Flashers don't work.

    And the damn fuse is fine. :mad: So, its a 1996 Cobra and they just stopped working one day. Is there a switch, or something else that could have failed? Again, turn signals don't turn on, Hazards don't turn on and only the center brake light works. Thanks for any help.

    Which Autometers most resemble 96 Cobra cluster?

    Really? Hrm...didn't even think about those.

    Which Autometers most resemble 96 Cobra cluster?

    I'm trying to figure out which gauges that autometer makes most closely resemble the white Cobra gauge faces day and night. Is it the C2s or the Lunars? BTW, colorblindness is a bitch.

    What speeds do the 96 Cobras redline at per gear?

    I was curious because I had a run in with an irritating M3 owner who decided to block me in the 2nd lane after I came up behind and then went around to pass, nothing rude in my driving just he was going 75 and I was at 85. Anyway, as I made an example of him and redlined 4th, I got to...

    Eibach springs (million mile warranty) (perferably Pro Kit so you don't drop too far) And Koni Yellows for dampers. See the presentation below for the reason to go with Koni's. http://www.koni-na.com/presentations/mustang/

    One clunk on acceleration and then clunk when off? Manual Tranny

    I'll check the U-joints for play this after noon. If I have play in them, I guess I just need either new joints or an aluminum shaft :-)

    One clunk on acceleration and then clunk when off? Manual Tranny

    This seems a bit excessive and has recently shown it's head. I would think that something is either worn or wearing out. So, to fix this, I would basically rebuild the rear end?
