    Exhaust leak? Is the dealer lying to me?

    :( Ok so I am getting realllllly annoyed (what's new) I have taken my car back to the dealer 1x for an exhaust leak since my "incident" (see: pop goes the airbag) while since then I still hear a "tick tick" garden sprinkler sound -- sounds like an exhaust leak to me, but the guy at the...

    Pop goes the airbag

    :nonono: Ok so here comes the fall out. I just realized my 6cd mach system is jammed with 6 cds in it :shock:, I have a pretty bad steering column squeak, it sounds like a quiet cricket has made its home under my hood, the speed control won't coast and my already rattley car has a few new ones...

    Pop goes the airbag

    I could file probably, however, that would mean my ins would go up and i would end up being skrued in the long run. I pay about 198/ mo for my stang full coverage and my samurai / liability. I don't want it to go up. Ins is such a rip off. I wish we could just do a equity account so we didn't...

    Pop goes the airbag

    Ok, so this sucks. Yeah I know it's sorta my fault. I am kinda pissed off but since I didn't get hurt I am not that mad. I was driving "the speed limit" :rlaugh: on a road with a bunch of dips, I apparently bottomed out the car when I bottomed over one of the humps and both my airbags went...

    Focus With Cobra Motor

    ATI's site I looked at ATI's site. They have all the specs there. Man with that engine in there, there is soooooooo much potential. That car could be way quicker than their stock specs. I heard of an 8 second CRX with a acura engine in it. I would be really suprised if they couldn't get in the...

    Stock `03 Cobra 1/4 mile times

    Bouncey, bouncey, bouncey... Saturday night was a fun one. My best run was 13.233 @106.59. I guess everyone was complainin that it was a slow track. I got a severe case of wheel hop for 4 out of my 8 runs! It was crummy as I had to let off so I won't cost myself a trip to the dealer and an...

    Stock `03 Cobra 1/4 mile times

    Just got a helmet From yesterday, I got "H" ed so I needed to get a helmet; the time slip guy asked me after 5 runs "do you have a helmet?" That was it for me as I wasn't about to rent some rancid helmet full of someone's funk. I asked around and called Woodburn, and they said any snell 1990...

    Stock `03 Cobra 1/4 mile times

    Well, I finally got my car to the track. It was the first time I have ever raced 1/4 miles on a strip too. :D What a fun day. It was at Portland (Oregon) International Raceway. I took my 99% stock cobra, only mod I had was the bypass valve bypass. (8k Miles on it and stock air filter, tires...

    Rearend Worries

    I have had both a truck and a car with noisy bearings in the clutch. I'm thinking it could be that. You'd expect to hear gear noise only under acceleration unless something is seriously messed up. I would have it checked by a clutch shop to see what they think.

    Traction control >:-o

    Horsey jump I guess my frustration might be the fact I am just getting used to driving 390 HP from driving a seemingly over-stated 130hp slo-cus (handles great though). I really had a hard time in the first couple of weeks realizing that putting the pedal to the metal exponentially...

    Traction control >:-o

    I am beginning to dislike the traction control on my 03 cobra! :mad: So does anyone else seem to think that traction control is annoying? It seems to come on at the worst time, it doesn't turn off quick enough and keeps coming back on, and on, and on... :bang: :nonono: :fuss...
