    96-98 Cobras

    I know there ARE aftermarket parts for them but not nearly as many choices as for the 3V and 2V. It was just an observation.

    96-98 Cobras

    It seems that the 96-98 Cobras are the bastard child of all the cobras. When searching for upgrade parts, the pickins are slim. Why is that? :shrug:

    Interested in a 97-98 Cobra...

    I have a stock 97 Cobra that is my daily driver. The best I ever got was 25.5mpg on a 2 lane highway doing 85 for 350 miles. I could have probably gotten a little better if I didn't have to pass every car on the road!

    97 Cobra header back exhaust

    Now that you mention it (after looking at your setup), a blower may be in my future somewhere down the road. I will look at the dynomax for sure now. and yes, the crossmember moved forward about 6 inches!!

    97 Cobra header back exhaust

    before I get buried in corrections...I screwed up. The Pypes system I was looking was for a V6. So ignore the Pypes part but feel free to comment on the other part.

    97 Cobra header back exhaust

    I am looking to replace the stock exhaust for 2 reasons... The first is that (prior to me owning the car) the original T45 was replaced with a T45 for a GT. As far as I know, the trans are the same except for the crossmember mounting points...which leads me to the problem. The yahoo who...

    Performance parts claims

    All these performance parts claim to increase HP and such... When I research these parts on the manuf. web sites, I can never find any numbers to back up their claims...exhaust for instance... Tell me what the stock pressure drop(Pd) is at a certain flow compared to what the new stuff is...

    96 4V Cooling

    I am in Idaho and my 97 Cobra temp gauge sits smack in the middle even in last months 105 heat, sitting in traffic with the AC full blast. I didn't read the links to Corral so not sure what the real issue is but I can say the 97 radiator does it's job rather well. C

    Re:PO 411 code

    I have a similar issue in my 97 Cobra except that my light stays on most of the time and occasionally goes off. I already replaced the air flow sensor going from the carbon canister to the manifold and that didn't help. My next step is the make sure the lines between the sensor and carbon...

    Possible trade 98 f-150 for 97 cobra????

    I have a 97 Cobra and I LOVE it. I paid roughly $8k for mine last year but it had 120k miles on it. The body was good, a couple paint chips and one small rip in the leather...overall pretty clean for a 10 yr old car. It is still all stock (except the Mach 460 stereo system which I yanked) and...

    Exhaust vs Trans crossmember

    Hi all. I just bought a 97 Cobra coupe that has a reman T45 in it. The car place I bought it from had the "new" trans installed. The problem is that the mounting bolt holes on the "new" trans didn't line up where the factory trans did and the mechanic had to slide the (double hump)...

    Looking to buy a welder. Need Advice

    I too am looking to purchase a mig. I friend of mine swears by the Miller welders since the voltage is infinitely variable unlike some of the other ones where you only get 4 settings. They are expensive but I am sure I will use it alot once I get it!!

    I have better resolution pics but I can't upload them since they are too big. I have seen others provide links to their photos but I didn't see any info in the FAQ.

    1986 Mustang GT Vert Project

    looks great I too have an 86 vert. So far I have the interior gutted. I would love to hear some of the details of the resto. What work did you do yourself? Do you have a ball park cost for the project? What order did you do the work (engine/interior/body work)? Any advice would be much...
