    Coolant problem '03 Cobra

    Is the coolant coming from your overflow resevoir or from your radiator cap proper? My '99 Cobra had that problem. The coolant would come out of the overflow resevoir and the coolant light would come on. It was not a large leak, but the overflow tank seemed to be the problem. The solution...

    Auto cobra?

    No SVT Cobra has ever come from the factory with an automatic. The only automatics that SVT has ever put in a vehicle has been in the Lightnings. Somebody either swapped in some AODE from another Stang or it is a clone of some sort. I can't see it. Unless they liked to take it to the...

    LOST MY KEY...HELP

    $150 for two keys? Oy. When somebody broke into my daily driver and stole a set of my Cobra keys, I had my car rekeyed with three new keys, one new remote and all of the programming done for $200. I don't know where some people buy keys, but most of you get ripped off. My dealer charges...

    YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS STANG ON eBAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It isn't so much the paint job being bad, but the color is terrible. Had it been dark blue or black, I would think that it might look pretty cool. Those rims have to go. I have never thought that wires look very good on the later Stangs. They are too small, also. That interior is ugly...

    Who has the most???

    Almost 17,000. I picked it up on October 1, 2002. I drive it back and forth to the East Coast about four or five times a year. My latest trip was last month for the Atlantic City Classic Car Show and Auction. It was top down weather the whole weekend! :flag: :nice:

    2003 COBRA owner....

    That album cover is actually one of the better shots of Zappa, in my opinion. Some of his pictures are actually more freaky than your avitar. Why did you pick Uncle Meat, released in 1969 I do believe, as your screen name? Just curious. :flag: :nice:

    Lombard support broke

    It is just a bladder that fills up with air. The switch runs some kind of pump and controls the inflation and deflation. When you deflate it you can hear the air escaping. Maybe your switch is bad or the connection is bad. I can't see the pump failing, especially if you have rarely used...

    Superchips Tuner or Predator

    Now that the benefits of a hand-held tuner, or flash tuner, over a chip have been discussed, how about getting back to the original question? I see a number of hand-held tuners out there. AFM, Saleen, Superchips, Diablo, etc. Which one is the best? Inquiring minds want to know...

    Low Coolant light

    My '99 Cobra's coolant light used to come on for no reason. There was evidence of coolant around the cap on the overflow canister. The canister was replaced and they fiddled with something else and the problem finally stopped. I never once had a temperature problem, although as long as...

    New Goodyear F1 Eagle

    That seems to be the thing in tread patterns these days. Every manufacturer puts out a similar tire. I burned the rear tires off of my '03 after fifteen thousand miles, but the fronts were in excellent shape. I had to go out East, so I bought a pair of Cooper Xeons (I think that is the...

    Who All Runs Synthetic In Their 03 Cobra??

    You can also run 0w20 that Mobil 1 offers. It is made for the Ford and Honda engines that use 5w20. I am switching to that from Royal Purple because it is available in stores here. I am sure that 5w30 is just as good, maybe better because of the higher viscosity when it gets hot, but Ford...

    REAL QUICK QUESTION guys

    I don't think that they will. The Cobra has a different nose on it. The inside angle may be different. When you park next to one, you will see what I mean. They certainly look different than my '99 Cobra. Why don't you just find some '01 or later headlights from a GT or '01 Cobra? No...

    OIL: 6 or 7 quarts ?????

    Ford puts 6.5 quarts in my '03. I get free changes from Ford, but I bring in my own full synthetic instead of using their synthetic blend. My '99 always took between 6.5 and 7 quarts. I never had an oil related problem. It didn't burn oil or use any between changes. The shop I used to...

    Safe RPM Range

    Wind that puppy up. I used to love to take my '99 'vert up to the redline. What a blast! The sound is incredible. Getting on the expressway on a cloverleaf and winding it up as you go under the bridge is music, especially with the top down. Ditto the Atlantic City mid-town connector tunnel...

    Noob Cobra Owner.....

    Use Mobil 1 0w20. It meets all specifications for Fords and Hondas that use 5w20. It is actually made for these cars, as far as I know. As for other mods, a Pro 5.0 shifter, exhaust, K&N filter, lowering springs and even a gear swap seem to be the mods of choice. Enjoy the ride...

    Will a center console from a 03 Cobra fit my 96?

    I would think that they would. It is the same interior. I will be putting the pre '01 dash plate in my '03 so I can mount a better radio and changer in the dash. It will take a bit of modification for my job. Different switch placement for the traction control, fogs and rear defroster...

    Build Certificates

    How long has it taken the rest of you owners of '03 Cobras to get your certificates? I signed the papers on Sept. 30, '02 and picked it up on Oct. 1. I opened my mail today and there was my build certificate. Strange, one year, three and a half months. I remember getting my '99 certificate...

    Transponder key problem?

    Was that not just your key code? All that gets you is the proper cut, doesn't it? When I was re-keyed, the locksmith cut it to a Ford code. Is the dealer or a certified locksmith the only ones that can use that code? I don't think that you want somebody to be able to get that code and be...

    Transponder key problem?

    I mentioned the '99 and up because somebody else made a comment about it and it needed clarification. Since he only has one key, I do believe that he has to go to a dealer, or maybe a locksmith that does that kind of work. They will have to get in and mess with the box that controls that...

    Transponder key problem?

    You need two keys for the '99 and up to program a new key. The same with remotes. This prevents some valet from making a copy that will start your car. You can get the key for under twenty bucks at a decent dealer. With the pre-'99, you have to go into the box to program them and the fobs, I...
