    Need some help deciding

    ****ing pass on that huptee. like stated above, you can find a good un-abused 01 cobra for under 18k, same as a Mach1 (which you might want to look into as well). 03/04 Termies will be 20-25k private party depending on shape and location, and 25-30k dealership depending on shape and location...

    2nd to 3rd PFFFFT!

    any kind of plop or blurp on deceleration/shifts is likely because you are running rich on the shifts and decel, and was muffled and covered up by stock exhaust. you shouldve heard my buddies srt4 when he did his open exhaust, popped and blurped like crazy on decel, once he got it tuned however...

    Clutch mods?

    yup its a MGW with the orange handle. i was able to get another inch of reach out of adjusting the handle towards me more, taking out the threaded shaft that knob screws onto, and heating it up and bending a slight curve at the base to give me another half inch. im much more satisfied with the...

    Clutch mods?

    yeah when i first had it it was the blue handle with the stock shift assembly. now he says its a mgw unit with the orange handle. i can feel the handle and shaft through the shifter boot, so im pretty sure its whatever he says it is. if i get a chance ill look at it later tonight.

    Clutch mods?

    http://www.mgwltd.com/mustang_shift_handle.shtml im pretty sure it had a blue handle on it before, however i dont think the blue handle and orange are interchangable, judging by how they look to attach to the shifter base. the orange slides onto a shaft and is tightened down, the blue looks...

    Clutch mods?

    i had this issue before when i had it the first time, i thought i just needed a new shifter unit, but upon further inspection, it was a blue handle, and all i did was re-adjust it and it felt way better (reach was the same as my triax in my gt). but now i can tell its fully adjusted as far in as...

    20 psi with 2.6 k/bell look .possible?

    this is one thing i never understood. many other cars come with knock sensors. afiak they all have rotors and every other kind of noise to deal with any car does, why do our mustangs not have them?

    Clutch mods?

    Long story short, im pretty sure a few know i just re-purchased my 03 cobra i had sold last December. now i dont remember if it was always this way, but the clutch is REALLY heavy, and the shifter is a complete pita to shift, its a struggle sometimes to shift. i dont know if its because the...

    Looking at 03-04 Cobras...

    very bad move. one, you will pay more for a cobra at a dealership, and you wont know the true history (alot can be known by meeting the previous owner). im very against buying previously modded vehicles (especially cobras) but meeting the previous owner made me feel good the first time i got...

    96 Cobra darting around

    its the tires. I never had this issue with whatever **** came with my car, but with the KDW2's i get this all the time. they will search for the best traction path, if theres a strip of crack spackle in the road, they will pull you onto that strip (cali roads are famous for this), its strange. i...

    BFG KDWS

    wtf is a KDWS? afaik theres KDW (old tread pattern) and KDW2 (revised tread pattern, more aggressive, different compound) Other than that, i had KDW2's all around on my GT and they were great wet and dry.

    3000 hrs at wot?

    hell if they did more than 30 seconds of WOT they would have figured out they needed to fix the cooling issue on what, cylinders 7 and 8? i could imagine 30 hours of testing, bringing the motor from idle, up the rpm band under load, back down again, wot, holding certain rpm points, and repeat...

    Dealer Told Me Last Night That He Sold a 2000 Cobra

    i heard all CobraR's were paid and accounted for before the first one even rolled off the line, and that 100 or so were only sold to actual racers that were going to use them for what theyre built for (racing)

    BFGoodrich G-Force T/A KDW Feedback Please

    i loved the KDW2's i had on my GT. Sure road noise is there, but its a small price to pay for the performance you gain. wet and dry handling, traction, braking, all are worth it. being such a wide footprint they give (i had 9" front, 10" rear) youre going to get road noise with any kind of tire...

    Deep dish 03 Cobra replica's???

    They are working on correcting the spoke design. the angle and thickness were off which affected the entire look of the rim. the thread on svtperf. had a cad rendering of what it should look like, and it looks way better however their casting is messed up. whoever is making them was saying it...

    Is 10k out of the question?

    10k is a very good price for that car. mine in my sig went for 11k (however that deal also included throwing in my 91 GSX) but it has 94k, a eh paint job, and weird noise coming from rear and a whining tob. i would pay 10k for your car. btw some banks use high resale value when doing a loan...
