    TB on my Cobra

    Found at least something wrong with it, this might not be my overall problem with the car though. Pulled my TB off today and noticed that little sticker that says "Dont clean with yadda yadda". Well low and behold she looked a little dirty so i took my finger and tried to clean a little off...

    Looking for a new block that can handle +550 easily. Does this make sense?

    Im going for about 300-350 out of a stock block with a 125 shot of spray on it, I wouldnt think for a streat car you would really wanna go hardcore. My buddy Bill used to have an El Camino that had about 450 (plus a 250 shot at the track, ran 10.30s). He said he used to fight his car everyday...

    Dilemma, wut to do with a tired motor

    I bought m cobra and promptly dynoed it at 140 hp to the back wheels. Is she tired? hell yeah. Is she still the last year they put the 5.0 in a mustang, hell yeah. Im rebuilding mine over the winter. If i were you Id keep the motor no matter what so that you still have the stock block/heads that...

    summit H-pipe?

    Ive got the o/r Summit h-pipe. It was a tight fit but mainly cause i put the mufflers in a different spot then they had been. The only problem i had was the idle when i tried to start the car right after they were on. I had to fiddle with it to get her to idle stedy but like 2 minutes of work.

    s-281-E vs. T66 Supra

    I dunno, its not that hard to drop 40k on a supra. A twin turbo one, in good shape, around here goes for 20-25k, then tack on 15k in mods.....thats really not that hard to do. I dont really care how fast a supra is, its still a little rice burner that i could care less about. Are they faster...

    s-281-E vs. T66 Supra

    LMAO That Supra got smoked like a blunt. Ive never been a huge fan of the Supra's. They are fast when you can drop 40k into them, but i hate the tail end. Its always looked like a blank wall. RX-7s look better and are just in general cooler then the Supra's. Now if you take 40k and drop it...

    OT - I don't know whether to laugh or scream.

    It could have been worse, just always remember that. You could have gotten a phone call saying that not only had your dorm room had gone up like a roman candle, but that the building then fell over and crushed your car, causing the fuel tank to explode, which set off a gas line under the city...

    Anylize my slightly better Dyno Chart

    Pretty good numbers there. Like S/CBlack95GT said good hp though the lower RPMs. You dont want to get too much hp too fast though unless your running 16 inch slicks. Its why ill always think turbos over s/c for 1/4 miles. Turbo lag (as bad as it sounds) can save your ass in a race. 1st and 2nd...

    O2 Question

    I just went to ford and got a set of stock o2s, maybe when everything in my sig is done ill find something better but i figured she liked what she had so why mess it up.

    Just picked up my 99 Rio Red Cobra

    That poor poor Cobra, had to sit with all those rice burning imports. Make sure you give her a good home and feed her plenty of Civics and Preludes. :D

    FINALLY....12's

    heh I wish my car would pull 12's, at the moment it might make 12 minutes since she is in critical condition on a set of jackstands. Nice work on the times. 12's and around 450rwhp are my total goal for my car.

    Bad Idle surge problems, also Idle down

    This kinda sounds like what my car is doing (and has been doing for about 3 months now). Surges wicked bad only mine does not stop. It will surge for as long as you let it run. The RPMs go up sparaticly when you push the gas, come down wicked slow and in little jumps, then when it hits 11-1200...

    Prochamber ?

    Ive got a Summit H-Pipe on my cobra and i didnt need to get anything special for the smog pump hook up. It was a.....tight fit but mainly because my mufflers arnt where they are supposed to be. To answer the question though: The H-Pipes ive seen also have the smog pump hook-up, will you have to...

    5.0 Miata - WTF

    The Wankle is "unreliable" and a "bad engine" because back in the day when the -7s first came out they litterally could not break them. Mazda was making so little money in parts and repairs (a big part of dealer money) that they began to build them sub-standard to the original design so that...

    ATTN: Guys who let their cars sit until the weekend...

    I drive my cobra mainly on the weekends in the winter (its Kentucky, cold and wet, but little snow) but all the time in the summer. In the winter I put the 93 octane Shell gas. It seems to have the best time sitting in my tank and I usually dont have a problem with it. Every 4-5 tanks i add some...

    5.0 Miata - WTF

    I personally have exactly zero problem with a v8 of any kind in a little car. Miata, AC Cobra, Focus, Neon, Go-Kart (seen it)....the only thing someone mentioned was a V8 in an RX-7. Thats just a stupidass idea. The Rotary is one of the greatest mechanical designs ever and is in a car taylored...
