    HELP! Car stranded on road, coolant running everywhere!

    Nah as far as I can tell thats not it. I'm 99% sure its off the front or front corner of the block. From what I can see I don't think its coming off the side of the engine anywhere either. Looks to be the front under the alternator somewhere. Still looking....

    HELP! Car stranded on road, coolant running everywhere!

    Car is 95 Cobra, 5 speed, stock 5.0 Well what I thought was a typical water pump change might not be the case. I was driving in traffic and noticed my heat went cold. I didn't have a Low Coolant light but I stopped anyway and shut off the motor. Coolant was pouring out everywhere somewhere...

    Shadetree Mechanic needs exhaust help...

    Will both rear tailpipes come out from under a 95 without jacking it up? My car is lowered 3/4" and the pipes are 2 1/2". It looks really tight twisting them over the rear axle. I'm assuming the come out easiest by pulling them over the axle and out from under the rear bumper. Any help is...

    Borla Side exhaust/SVO side skirts

    Do you have a side shot showing the entire skirt; wheel to wheel at least? I've been looking for a side exhaust skirt kit that wraps over the top of the pipe only, like the Lightning. What other companies make the front in/out mufflers you need for these kits? Unlike most I enjoy loud and...

    Low coolent light coming on ?

    Did you check the coolant level in your reserve can? The radiators in these cars are notorious for leaks where the plastic sides meet the metal radiator bodies. If you dont see any residue anywhere and the level is low, just top it off and see what happens. If your coolant level is fine, check...

    How to Clean my engine bay

    Go to http://www.properautocare.com/classic-motoring/engine.html All the cleaners they list on there are really great. My favorite is the Eimann Fabrik Hi-intensity cleaner. You can dilute this stuff down and use it on carpet and even glass. If your engine has oil/grease use their citrus...

    Girl needs audio advice

    I agree with the above selection. You cant go wrong with CDT for the price. Dont count out the Focal Polyglass either. If you can afford it, get the Eclipse deck. Alpine and Pioneer make great decks that look cool but the Eclipse is a better product IMO. If you find a Eclipse deck for sale...

    Anyone tried the Meguiars Cordless Buffer?

    Thanks for the information. I think the 7424 is the best deal for me. I found it for $119 and I'm figuring another $50 for pads and bonnets. I am going to purchases a few pads to apply the polish and wax. How many bonnets will it take to remove the wax from a entire car?

    Anyone tried the Meguiars Cordless Buffer?

    I saw this on their website. Their larger buffer is made by porter cable. Just like the PC, its $200+. Thats a little high for me. Has anyone tried the cordless one? It uses 6.5" pads, comes with a couple batteries etc. It sells for about $90. Thanks.

    Extremely poor tire wear on lowered Cobra...

    Thanks for all the help. I think I may have found the problem. On my way into work today I was forced to go through a construction zone and some crappy pavement. Every time I hit a large bump or ran in a pothole it felt like the left front had no shock. It made a thud sound like the shock or the...

    Extremely poor tire wear on lowered Cobra...

    I havn't really noticed a problem with the handling. The car should pull really bad to do this to a tire. Its almost down to the threads, literally.

    Extremely poor tire wear on lowered Cobra...

    A while back I installed H&R springs, KYB shocks and Maximum Motorsports c/c plates. THe car was aligned as close as possible by my local shop. Recently, I have noticed that the drivers side front tire is wearing really bad. The strange thing is that the tire is wearing down on the outside. Even...

    resurfacing a flywheel? wtf?

    I just put in a Spec stage 1 a few weeks ago. You must have the flywheel resurfaced or replaced. My local machine shop did mine for 30 bucks. Buying a brand new one is the best idea but I know I'm switching transmissions within a year so I didn't. Its a great clutch but it takes its time to...

    94-95 Cobra

    That should be good for a 13 second run. With a good set of drag radials you can't miss. I would guess you would be around 230-240 at the wheels.

    Porsche Cayenne S + hot women

    Do not be surprised if Lamborghini follows suit and makes a SUV. My dad has a 4x4 tractor made by Lamborghini under the name SAME (pronounced Sah-mee). Its just like any other tractor but it will do around 40mph on the highway (8 fwd gears). It has turn signals and even a license plate frame...

    Cobra Rear Bumper

    Nik_92Stang - "Looks much better now though and the uneducated don't have to question why my rear one says "Mustang" anymore." You should be proud to own a 94-95 that simply says Mustang on the bumper. The best part is that it filters out all the boneheads that want to talk to you. They see...
