    Rich, Lean what does it Mean

    He was told by a Vortech employee that you can mess with the FMU. My diaphragm or whatever was not lifting properly to release the fuel i guess. What he did was drill and "x" across the top of the FMU plate after he removed it from the car. This relieves the pressure. PLEASE do not try...

    Rich, Lean what does it Mean

    my friends always talk about how my car is so rich that they can't stand to drive behind me. so I go and get it dynoed and the car is extremely lean. how can this be? it would puff some black smoke when it was LEAN and after the guy used a little trick to make it rich it did not smoke at all...

    Time to change brakes?

    Don't buy the parts from Ford. Front pads for my cobra are over 200 bucks. The service writer couldn't even tell me that without laughing (even he knew that was a joke). There has to be a good brake shop in your area. Get a free brake inspection done and they will tell you what you need...

    how much for my cobra?

    values are usually the highest between spring (april) and late summer (july) for the simple reason that people want sports cars during great weather. What it really comes down to is how bad someone else wants it. Good luck.

    Colder temp. air = more boost??

    the higher octane is for the pinging. ex. if someone is pinging at a lower grade you should move up to a higher octane (i run 93 octane and heard the ping so i moved up to the next level...100 octane to be safe). This is a quick fix to a bigger problem. I do not know for sure but I think that...

    Colder temp. air = more boost??

    you just need to be careful. most people will see an increase in boost with lower temps. i would take it easy until you get that tune. btw, my car pings in fourth gear under load. I'm going to put 100 octane in it until this summer (i don't drive it much in the winter months)

    Will I pass OBD II emissions?

    my cats are bad on my car and the check engine light was on to confirm it. To pass the OBD-II I had to disconnect the battery (1 hr.) and then reconnect. I drove it around to warm the car up and took it in. The CEL was off but they could not read the codes (system not ready). The guy at the...

    Best (Locking?) Hood Pins, To Prevent Hood From Flying Off ?

    lol. Exactly. You summed up what I was trying to say in a few sentences and I rambled on forever above. The guy that installed my set has worked on cars for a long time (bodyshop and in racing) and he said that he had never seen a set like the Ford ones. Like a said before they do the job...

    Best (Locking?) Hood Pins, To Prevent Hood From Flying Off ?

    Sorry, yeah I meant the rings only (the metal piece that slides through is stainless but the actual ring attached to it will rust). The other pieces you can just wipe down to clean with no problem. The body shop called me when they were going to install the pins to let me look at the design...

    Best (Locking?) Hood Pins, To Prevent Hood From Flying Off ?

    I have the Ford pins (bought from Steeda) on my Steeda hood and they don't look right. The pins will rust if you don't have a garage to put your car in. I have to polish my pins every time it rains. They may be stainless put the rings on the pins are not. Don't be afraid of people stealing...

    98 Steeda Cobra on Ebay (what's your guess?)

    auction ended. no sale (reserve not met) at 19,100. It brought more than I thought it would.

    98 Steeda Cobra on Ebay (what's your guess?)

    Good point. I do think the '03 Cobra hurt the resale of older Cobras. Unless you really like the older body style (94-98) or want a normally aspirated Cobra (all previous ones) it is hard for people to pass up almost 400 hp stock on the '03. I am glad that Ford decided to produce such a...

    Orginal Sticker/Copy?

    I was wondering this also. It would be nice to have a window sticker for my car (I bought it used with no info. until I called Steeda that is). I know some older collector cars can call a number or go on some website and order a window sticker by giving the vin number.

    98 Steeda Cobra on Ebay (what's your guess?)

    Yeah that's the car. I think the fact that so many Mustangs are produced hurts this car. You can tell the car is in great shape and has barely been driven (14k miles). You pay a premium price to have Steeda install the mods and to serialize it. In return you can boast that you have one of...

    98 Steeda Cobra on Ebay (what's your guess?)

    Just wanted to see what you guys think this car will bid up to. It seems to be in great shape (I know it's nicer than mine). I'm guessing it will no sale for 16,500. I would think his reserve is around 20 grand or more. Sorry I don't know how to link to it for you guys. Go to ebay and punch...

    Losing Coolant?

    I have heard of some people having to replace their water pumps at 40k miles so it may be the problem (it may whine and then show coolant from the weep hole). I had a slow leak myself (could smell it, but no external leak visible) and I had two dealerships test it. Finally (after about 2 hrs...
