    Another Cobra question..

    I bought my 97 for 17K with only 35,000 miles on it. Not stock though. The guy I bought it from had full documentation on everything ever done to the car. It took a couple of months of looking though. I also had to drive a couple of states over to get it. Just take your time and don't rush into...

    Possible Transmission Swap

    Will do Chucky. I am replacing the stupid adjustable clutch cable first. The transmission shop suggested the cheapest things to do first. He said the clutch still seems strong and I just might not be getting the right throw with the cable I have in now. The car goes in the shop this week. Should...

    Can I get 20 mpg with 4.10 gears?

I have 4:10 gears in my 97 cobra with several mods, and even running the air on a long trip recently, I had 22 mpg. Running the car a little hard in the city I can get as low...

    Possible Transmission Swap

    I have a 97 Cobra. The transmission has just started slipping. There's a centerforce clutch, 4:10 gears and a steeda Tri ax shifter hooked up to it. I am taking it to a transmission shop today to see what the problem might be. If the transmission needs rebuilt, I plan on putting a new 6 speed in...

    Anyone have the MAC upper/lower control arms?

    Hello, I have MAC upper and lower control arms for the rear of my 97 Cobra. They have grease fittings and went in fairly easy. I had to modify the rubber spring boot because it no longer fit, and even though they have grease fittings, (which I greased heavily), they still have a very small...
