    I HATE Fedex

    FEDEX sucks monkey balls. I've had similarly bad experiences with them. UPS all the way.

    Mallory Dizzy?

    IMHO an aftermarket dizzy won't show much gain if at all over the stock unit, since they both use a not-so-great Hall-effect sensor design (magnetic pickup) which does not produce a perfect square wave pattern like an optical pickup would. I certainly wouldn't pay 2-3 times the price of a reman...

    Magnetic Pickup Toast? (VID)

    I got a reman one from a local parts place for $140. Before you take yours out, set the rotor in place and mark on the distributor body where the center of the rotor lines-up with a sharpy marker or a grease pencil. If you want you can also mark the bottom of the distributor shaft where it goes...

    Magnetic Pickup Toast? (VID)

    There shouldn't be much movement in there at all. Did you see any little metal dust particles in the bottom of the distributor bowl? Looks like the distributor bushing might be worn-out. That, or the distributor gear. I'd take-out the dizzy for better inspection, it only takes about 10 minutes...

    Looking for thoughts and opinions

    Is the car a 5-spd or auto? Judging by what you want to get out of the car, I think 4.10's would give you a better kick with the 28" tires. I like my 3.73's, but it sounds like you will be running taller tires and are more into drag racing than having the car as a DD. Your rpm's will probably be...

    Wheels for a teal car?

    So many types of wheels look good on that color. I'd just stay away from black, I think natural/machined/sliver/anthocite/hypercoat/chrome in FR500, '03 Cobra, or even 00' Cobra R would look sweet. Chrome Saleens look amazing on that color as well.

    well had to get new tailights....

    They're not the worst-looking euros out there, but, just, no. It would be just wrong.

    Whats your daily driver?

    the 'stang is still surviving the DD duties, but only for another couple months, or whenever snow hits. After that, plans are for an '04-'07 F150 FX4. I can't wait :rolleyes:

    cobra brakes: calipers + ?

    I thought the GT/Cobra lines were the same :shrug: When I took my old ones off and laid them next to the new Cobra ones (I just got the stock-style rubber ones :notnice: ) they were i-fricking-dentical in every aspect. The only difference I know of is the coarser thread of the bajo bolts on...

    Car idling/revving rough

    I've had that problem on and off since I bought the car, and never had any codes for anything. Wires were the culprit every single time. But I already said that, haha.

    Oil Pressure Sensor

    I did the same thing last year, was still a major PITA with that special socket though, there's hardly any room to turn it. I want to **** on the engineer who put it there.

    Car idling/revving rough

    Check your spark plug wires, every single time I've had similar problems, it has been related to improper plug/wire boot contact or just bad wires. Try having the car idle in a pitch-black location at night, open the hood and spray a mist of water and look for any arcing.

    In search of factory cobra side skirts

    Paul's right, just hit-up the salvage yards and grab some off a v6 or GT and re-paint them if needed.

    Convertible OEM Bracing?

    I hate that brace, it was a PITA to take-off and put-back on to do a header swap. But I drove without it for about 3 weeks before I put it back on, and didn't notice any difference in handling with or without it. I'm sure it has saved my oil pan a few times though. But leave it off, you'll be fine.

    Looks very similar to the Cobra RS hood from ABC Exclusive, but slightly tweaked. I like it!

    Hit a curb with the chromed wheel...

    I feel your pain. I hit a curb a few weeks back that scratched about 1/4 of the lip on the passenger's side front. Whenever I get around to it, I'll run the polishing bit on the demmel over it and see if it hides it any. As it is now, you don't notice it unless you're looking for it, but it...
