    Do any of you find yourselves wanting an s197?

    I'd like one but it seems like the parts/mod upgrades are more jack.

    mechanical fuel pressure gauge

    Guys running "in car" mechanical fuel pressure gauges, how are you hooking them up? Do you have to buy the "isolator" as a separate kit? I'm wondering if I should have gotten a different gauge! Also, can you get a cowl cover that mounts a gauge for mustangs so you don't have to run the isolator...

    any one converted to irs?

    right now I'm leaning toward forgetting the irs. I may go with a panhard bar for now, then add the torque arm later. I do like the steeda 5 link but its so pricey.

    any one converted to irs?

    I thought I had a deal on a IRS but now he's bumped up the price, so I may just wait an do the steeda 5 link or do a pan hard bar now an the torque arm later.

    96-98 Cobra

    I'm pretty new to the cars myself but the block an crank can pretty much handle anything you can throw at them. The rods an pistons are the weak link. I put a kenne bell on my car an the guy I got the blower from said he dyno'd 350 at the rear wheels which is prob just under a stock terminator...

    any one converted to irs?

    HI, I have a 97 cobra I bought last summer. I put a kenne bell on it this fall, now I'm thinking of putting an IRS in it. My question is to those that have done it is how do you like it? I want a fun to drive, easy to live with car not a raw speed machine. I have a line on one with everything...

    96 to 98

    I bought my first mod motor car last summer. I've always wanted a cobra an picked up one I thought was a good deal. I had to fix a few little things but really enjoy the car. NOW I wish I read more on these cars. I wanted a car to beat on an drive the crap out of. Now in some ways I wish I...

    My 99 cobra hops VIOLENTLY even with IRS braces and bushings

    Kilgore, I've seen those, I just don't want to spend that much on bushings. They are prob worth it but I'm spending for the irs a want to replace the basics while I have it out.

    My 99 cobra hops VIOLENTLY even with IRS braces and bushings

    The OP said his was fine stock, an hopped after the upgrades which is the opposite of what I've read happens. My goal is a fun driver, that gets some spirited street driving an sees the quarter mile 2 or 3 times a year. After buying the IRS, I plan on doing the mounting bushings for the sub...

    peanut butter interior change to black?

    Do you plan on swapping the steering wheel or dying it? I was going to dye the head liner myself. I had a complete interior I was considering, except for seats. I was going to swap everything I could to black or charcoal an get after market seats. Thats going to have to wait till next year since...

    noob question

    they are different but perform the same function. On mustangs they used struts on the front and shocks on the rear. struts are more expensive.

    Holy CAI

    "It's called climate change, not just global warming. For every action this is an equal and opposite reaction." There has always been climate change, an it will continue to change. Ice ages came an went before "man made influences". It's cold as balls here in Ohio, so I'm in favor of global...

    help for a friend

    If you swap the heads and cam, make sure he checks piston to valve clearance, especially if the Lincoln doesn't have relief cuts in the piston tops. Remember the pistons, rods an crank will be weaker. I nice upgrade is the mid to late 90's explorer. gt or gtp heads an better intake. Just use the...

    Decrease in gas mileage =[

    my mariner has the computer that tracks your mileage an it's been slowly dropping in avg since it got cold out. In the summer it was 22.7 overall avg an now its 20.4. Here in ohio they use a different blend of gas in winter months too so that may be a factor.

    Chevy, gimme a break.

    Some of the camaro's look good (depending on paint an options) some look ugly. I bought one in the 80's an had nothing but problems with it. 3 of the 4 gm's I've owned in my life had constant problems. I've had good luck with fords, especially the mustangs. The stang is much easier the live with...
