    Moving to a 2004 SVT Cobra from a 2007 Mustang GT

    That isn't a whole lot of miles for an '04. My '03 just turned 78,000 miles, although it gets driven back and forth to New Jersey from Toledo three or four times a year, usually ringing-up around 2500+ miles. I don't think that those mods are that bad. They seem normal to me. Could you...

    LEDs for interior lighting?

    The problem that I see with LEDs is that they are very directional. They have no real glow. Go by a house during the holidays that has LED Christmas lights. They all look like dots of bright light. Where I work, some of our interior lights are LEDs. They are formed into a cluster and are...

    different irs set-ups

    I will agree with the stickier tire up-grade. I put on a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE010s on my '99 and it really reduced the hop to almost nil. The hop issue has never been as bad with my '03. I use Cooper Zeon 2XS and I get good traction without having to go to the real sticky, low...

    99 cobra-What are best brake pads for the money?

    I like the Raybestos ceramic pads. I have them on my '03 and they are excellent. I like their stopping power and the fact that ceramics pads are quiet. Their audible sound is above the threshold of human hearing, so you might irritate some dogs in the neighborhood, but at least you won't hear...

    4v mark8 and cobra harness???

    I am not sure about the harness, but I would bet that it would work. It is the same motor for the most part. Also, remember that the MKVIII has the nodular iron crank instead of the Cobra steel one. It would probably be a good idea to put in the Cobra crank and forged internals along with...

    Let's rate the new Mustang

    I gave it a nine. They really should be able to offer a N/A 4.6 with 350plus horsepower. Saleen does it with the 400hp bored and stroked 5.0. It shouldn't be too difficult to do it at the factory. Either way, the new 400 hp 5.0 should hopefully be out sooner than later. It would also be...

    what oil should i use..what's best?

    That is a bit much. The '03 and '04 Cobras call for 0/20 or 5/20 and if I remember correctly my '99 used 5/30. I ues Mobil 1 5/20. 15/50 is pretty 'thick' at start-up and only gets 'thicker' as it warms-up. I think that you are asking for problems because it doesn't flow too well when...

    new clutch

    If it ain't slippin', why bother replacing it? I have 70,000 miles on my '03 Cobra and it is just fine. I may replace it next year when I up the horsepower now that my warranty has run out, but not because it is going. Either way, go with a known entity like Fidenza, ACT, Spec or the...

    '01 Cobra Commuter???

    It is a nice car to commute in. My '99 would get close to 30mpg on the highway, although it was for fairly extended running period. The seats in the '01 trump the '99s by a mile, plus you get stronger half-shafts. As for gas, why screw around? It is made for premium, use it. Concerning...

    Possible transmission trouble

    There is a good web-site that shows you how to adjust the clutch by holding the clutch pedal still and pushing up on a tab on the quadrant until you hear a click. It advises you to check the clutch after each click so you don't go too far. This will make it disengage at a higher point so you...

    Gas pedal recall?

    Yeah, I missed that. I should have read the specs on your car. Oh, well, it seemed to fit with some other posts about service and techs so I wrote before I read everything. :flag::nice:

    2003 with the Tranny replaced twice?

    I second that, Meat. It is sad that just a very small percentage of dealers and techs can give many in the industry a bad name. It is also sad that somebody would even post something like this. I would ceratainly be ashamed to admit to knowing these happenings. As I said, it is just plain...

    Gas pedal recall?

    Man, if that is the case, I would go to the higher-ups here. I am sure that there are people in Ford or in some other agency that they don't want to hear from. They are certainly obligated to fix this problem. Either that or find another dealer and tell your present one to stuff it. That is...

    2003 with the Tranny replaced twice?

    I would hope that doesn't happen. I usually just walk back and check on things as they are going on. Either way, if they say it was done and something goes wrong later, it will either be found out or it will be taken care of under warranty. My bet would be on the former. :flag::nice:

    Whats considered high mileage on a 2004 Cobra?

    Mine just turned 68,000 miles during this trip to Atlantic City and it will hit 69,000 on the way home. Other than getting a new front case for my T56 because of a bad bearing, I have never had a problem. Other than an MGW shifter, K&N filter and ceramic brake pads, the car is all original...

    Gas pedal recall?

    You might as well do it as soon as possible. My car didn't have the problem, but you never know about the future. It actually kind of looks good, in a way, like it is something from the factory and it probably should be on all cars. Either way, it isn't something that you should do yourself...

    brake pads for 99 cobra

    I don't know about standard Raybestos pads. Their ceramic pads are excellent and the fact is, unless you are a dog, you can't hear them as ceramic pads make sound that is above what the human ear can detect. Either way, I doubt that I will ever use anything but ceramic from now on...

    2003 with the Tranny replaced twice?

    Are you sure that it was the whole transmission that was replaced? I had to have the front case of my T56 replaced due to a bad bearing on the input shaft. It was making a terrible squealing noise when at idle. I was told by the tech that while not a very common problem, it does happen...

    brake pads for 99 cobra

    I went with Raybestos ceramic pads for my '03 vert. They are exceptional. Nice stops and my rims stay clean since the dust is minimal and and not dark like standard pads. Another neat thing is they don't make any noise. Their frequency is above what the human ear can detect, although you...

    Shatterd foglite

    I am assuming that you mean a cover to go over the actual fog-light? I remember seeing them on older Fox and SN95 GTs, but I can't recall seeing them for our Cobras. Maybe you can check out Murray's or Advance or some place like that. If you are handy with plastic you might be able to make...
