    End of an era

    I've owned my 2003 Saleen S281 #198 for nearly 10 years. By far it's been my favorite car but times have changed and I no longer want to climb around on this thing to keep up the ever increasing maintenance. So next month it will go to a new owner. He actually owned it until 2008 when...

    1966 250ci fuel issues and starter cable question

    I have a 66 with a swapped 250. I'm having starting issues that I think may be pump related. I replaced the filters and still can't get it to start. I put a clear fuel filter in and it barely has any fuel in it after turning it over for a few minutes. Also, when I try to start, the starter cable...

    GT500 exhaust.

    Anyone have an axleback exhaust that isn't raspy or pops and gurgles on decel? Something louder than stock but not so loud it wakes the dead.

    Diecast

    I found this a few years ago. Resembled my old Cobra II since it was black. Maybe I find some tiny decals one day.

    Best place to find an engine

    Looking to replace the straight six on our 66. I've looked at all the obvious places like eBay. Is there a site anyone know of that sells rebuilds? I just don't think I want to fool with rebuilding what's in there now.

    Feelers for a 76 II

    A friend of a friend has a 1976 Mustang II with 68K miles. I don't know much about it but if you are interested let me know. It is a 4 cylinder auto.

    2002 GT Intermettant rough idle and shut down

    My son's GT dies while decel to a stop. Pop the clutch to get it to refire or I can key restart. Doesn't do it all the time. Also, once warm, it will idle rough then die. Hard to start after but will fire back up after a few minutes. Again this is intermittent. I'm pretty sure both issues are...

    Struts

    Whats a good strut for a drop of 2 inches? I picked up some KYB Excel G's but they max out over hard bumps.

    Wheel Bearing Or Dragging Caliper?

    I'm leaning toward a dragging caliper because I'm getting a pretty good burned material smell (brake pads?) and the brakes are a little spongy at times but it heats up so badly that the whole wheel gets sizzling hot. Would a caliper cause that much heat? If the wheel bearing was going bad would...

    98 4v Into A 73.

    What kind of madness would I get into by swapping a sixer out of a 73 and putting in a 98 Cobra motor?

    Overheating Problem

    98 Cobra with a 96 motor. After coming up to operating temp it will be fine for about 10 minutes and then gets hot. On the datalog it got as high as 240. Doing between 60 and 65 at the time. As I came down to city speeds and stop and go it goes between 228 and 234. After about 25 minutes total...

    Anybody Have A 94-98 With Pro Kit Springs?

    I have a set for my son's 98 Cobra but the springs on there now don't look much different. My old 96 it was a noticeable difference before I even pulled the old springs out. These look like the same height.

    A/f Wideband

    I know the quality of Autometer and AEM but has anyone had experience with other brands? I'm looking at an Innovate Motorsports wideband for a good price. Just wondering the quality and where it is made. Also any other good meters out there?

Clutch disengaged...I didn't notice anything when engaging clutch...

    Interior Door Panel Falling Apart?

    My dad had an issue with the material adhesive on the door panel of his '07 GT500 breaking down and falling. We took it to an upholsterer and after a little brainstorming came up with this. It's a bead for custom seats. There is a tab to insert the bead into the groove where the cloth piece...
