    Cobra/Mach 1 Brakes from Buy Ford Racing - Diversified Products Marketing

    Mechanically they are exactly the same, they are both front calipers. The only difference over the years 94-04 for those calipers is the piston size changed slightly larger around 02ish. If even that...

    Pulling my motor for the first time, Lots of questions please help!

    x20 on the bags with labels of what bolts go to what. I did this mostly for the engine/tranny and everything inbetween. I would have done the same for everything in the engine bay but I got 2 cars worth of nuts and bolts so It shouldn't be a big issue. As for everything else, a tilt is nice...

    Clutch kits

    Good to hear they updated there design I've always swayed away from spec because years ago a friend broke one like you describe. He cracked his right on one of the rivets and it only had 3 or so.

    Project Phoenix (94 Cobra)

    Sawzall. The brackets are aluminum very light and very soft metal. Just line it up best you can and go for it, try and not cut off too much. :D

    Always seemed easier for me to pull the tranny with the motor.

    Project Phoenix (94 Cobra)

    Front brackets and accessories are on now. Still need intake, but have to order new bolts or studs and wait for it to get back from powdercoater. Still need oil pan, but I am going to wait until I can change the rear main seal and it needs paint also. Still need motor mounts, but I've...

    Should I delete my ABS?

    I agree it may not be the best ABS system out there but it is better than nothing. I have spent a day on a autox with and without the ABS. Driving without taught me a lot about how the brakes react and how to get just that right amount out of the brakes before they lock up. Now that is all...

    Should I delete my ABS?

    I'd move it if you can, but that is just me. I tend to use my brakes at the track. :D Would be good time to extend the lines and add a brake bias controller, least that is what I would do. :)

    What is this? And how Can I delete it without getting a CEL?

    This lil bugger is mounted in the pass side fender well. I know it is emissions stuff bunch of vac lines go to it. My 95 never had vacuum lines on it, but all the wires where plugged in so I never had a CEL. Will leaving this unplugged cause a CEL? If so is there a resistor I can make for all...

    Someone tell me what this thing does, I need it gone

    Neither of my 94-95s has had one. But I have seen one installed on a different year and I believe the last poster is correct. I need to remember to install a fuse for that or something... :?

    Project Phoenix (94 Cobra)

    I got the heads back last week, but I had to wait on some headgaskets to get shipped out. They look all shiny and new now, I ended up having them rebuilt for good measure. The 1 hole that was a problem is only slightly buggered up but I plan to put some studs in and it will no longer be a issue...

    fixable or not?

    I had a similar problem last year, cost me around 9 months of my car not being reliable/running. Went to 4 different shops including a ford dealership, none of them could figure it out. The car had a laundry list of parts thrown at it with no effect. I ended up taking the car to a VERY good...

    Bad Thermostat?

    Ford Tstat or bust IMO. All the other brands seem to not be worth the trouble.

    whining noise

    See if clutch in/out changes the noise any at all. A bad TOB can be driven on for some time usually, but it is a bit annoying.

    Project Phoenix (94 Cobra)

    I have a thread going on RKC too. :nice: I really hope so. I don't want to track down another set of heads, and it is really hard to justify spending money on stock heads when aftermarket heads tend to be a lot better. (Plus I have a cam that matches my stock heads so It kind of irks me to...

    Project Phoenix (94 Cobra)

    Had to take a step backwards sadly. Had a stuck intake bolt that I've been unable to remove, so today I took the heads off the motor and took the head to the machine shop. The guys at the machine shop aren't sure they can fix it but I will know by tomorrow. Hopefully it will be fixable since I'd...

    Which new coil?

    My MSD coil melted, still have it around somewhere meaning to mail it in and see if I can get a new one under warranty. Put a factory Ford coil back on. :)

    Project Phoenix (94 Cobra)

    It is a aftermarket one, I can't recall the name off hand thou. I wire wheeled all the accessories today, and also cut down the bracket that has the alternator on it by snipping off the bits for the smog pump. Will get some pics up sometime after tomorrow when I go back to do more work. :)
