    Does a 2004 Cobra have a beak-in period?

    the manual says to take it easy for 1,000 miles :shrug:

    my suspension needs work, need some opinions please

    I'd go with H&R SS's and Bilsteins. If you want used H&R SS's...I have some from my '03 GT that I sold last weekend. PM me if you're interested (I also have used tokico 5 ways).

    tire question (again)

    Sorry, I know this is like my third tire thread, but I keep on changing my mind... I decided to sell my 18" bullitt's and bought 2 17x10.5 deep dish bullitt wheels. I will be keeping the stock front wheels/tires. I have a couple of choices for the 17x10.5's... Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3...

    almost ready to order tires...

    no, I haven't considered them (mainly because I can't find them for sale anywhere online), but I have heard good things about Toyo...where did you buy them from?

    almost ready to order tires...

    Those are good tires, but unfortunately they're not an option since they don't come in the size that I need (i have 18" deep dish bullitt's on order)

    almost ready to order tires...

    I've got it narrowed down to 3 choices: 1) Nitto 555's (that's the street tire one, not the DR) for $700 2) Kumho Ecsta MX for $900 3) Goodyear F1 GS-D3 for $1000 Given these 3 choices...which one would you get? Is spending an extra $300 for the Goodyear's really worth it, or would you...

    How much for an X-pipe and cats?

    The magnaflow catted X will pass the sniffer in CA. It will fail the visual test though. But then again, if you have evidence that your cold cats broke, that might be enough to get you to pass the visual as well. Either way, the trick is to find a friendly smog shop and have them smog it...

    need tire advice

    I just won a set of 18x9/18x10 bullitt wheels for my car on ebay. I can definitely use some help in picking out the right tire and the right size for these wheels... I want a good summer tire that also does somewhat well (as in better than the stock gatorbacks) in the rain. My car is a...

    KB 1.7 on GT of 03/04 Cobra for daily driver?

    Just so you know...that's a pretty terrible deal. I got a quote on a brand new '04 cobra coupe with no options for $31.4k after rebates. It worked out to $500 over invoice. Used cobra's with about 15k miles are going for $25-$26k. I'd get the cobra :nice: Way more potential on those...

    Good Mustang Shops In Los Angeles Area, And Rim Question

    x2c in the San Fernando Valley is a good shop too, although a bit far from you. They installed my gears for pretty cheap. http://www.x2cmotorsports.com/

    Non Supercharger mods

    i don't have experience with the rest, but the plenum and the t/b were definitely worth it. I felt more of a difference with the plenum than the t/b. Sorry, no dyno numbers to back up my experiences...

    wheel/tire advice...

    I agree with why so many people get 315's, but for my situation it's less than ideal. I don't drag race, the tires cost more, there are fewer tires to pick from (most of them being drag radials, which I don't want), my gas mileage will suffer (I'm in bumper to bumper traffic all day), and they...

    How do you work the VOLTAGE METER? Going to install plenum/tb tomorrow.. *PIC*

    uhmm I didn't need a voltage meter either to do my throttle body/plenum swap. I just bought a new TPS to avoid tinkering with the Ford one, and swapped everything. Very easy install, and haven't had any problems whatsoever...
