    what is the best sounding exhaust combination for a 96 cobra? i am trying to decide on a catback and either an off-road x or h. i do not like the backpressure popping that i have heard with some combinations. i want something to be somewhat raspy but i want the low rpm rumble as well. i...

    stock gear

    i was talking to my local mechanic and we were discussing gear ratios. he drove my car after he replaced a pinion bearing. i told him i assume the stock ratio is 3.27. he said he thought it had at least a 3.55 or 3.73. who is right? thank you.

    wheel spacers

    i want to move the stock '96 17" cobra rims out of the wheelwell more. i was thinking of putting wheel spacers on all 4 wheels. are there any downsides to wheel spacers? if not, what is a good width? at what width does it look excessive? will it look alright from behind with 245 tires...

    96 sits low on one side

    ok thanks. i hope that's the problem. it's feasable that whoever installed the Konis re-installed the springs incorrectly. i'll take a look when i have time.

    96 sits low on one side

    so the end of both springs should point towards the driver side. what do you mean by at the back? are both springs identically wound? does each spring end point in the same direction if the spring end is at the back? or are they opposed and driver and passenger-side specific?

    96 sits low on one side

    i noticed that my 96 cobra was sitting a little low on the driverside. i ran a line from the peak of all 4 fenderwells to the ground. the driverside sits about a 1/2 inch lower than the passenger side. i also noticed that the car has koni yellows on all 4 corners. could it be that they were...

    who built your motor?

    what are the names scribed onto the valve cover on your cobra? are there any names that are commonly attributed to poorly assembled motors? the names on mine are Robert Natty and Bob McIntyre. The motor was built in the Romeo plant (i think all of them were). dude, what does yours say?

    i am new to the team so you may see a ton of questions in the near future from me. what size injectors are stock on a 96 cobra? have you changed to a bigger size? if so which size? i also have a question about posi. so all solid-axle cobras come with posi/limited slip? my 94 GT came with...

    Best way to clean valve covers?

    buy a can of paint stripper or graffiti remover and drench them in it. let it sit and break all that stuff up for an hour (the can will say 20-30min). then use abrasive tools such as wire brush, scotchbrite, etc. the stripper breaks the bond and everything will slide right off. you might...
