    Coilover questions

    Can someone give me a quick explanation of what a coilover is? I'm trying to understand the benefits of them over just replacing the shocks and struts.

    HELP: Rear caliper piston

    I've only tried to replace rear disc brakes one time in my life. I also couldn't get it to budge (Protege5). I gave up and just changed the front brakes and sold the car. Later I found out that there is some type of screw that must be loosened on the back of the caliper. Maybe all rear...

    What octane do you run in your cobra?

    That is what I've always heard. I didn't know if Ford recommends a specific octane in the cobras (specifically 99 and 01).

    What octane do you run in your cobra?

    I'm thinking about buying a new edge cobra and am wondering what to expect to run as far as gas goes. I'm coming off a foxbody that would run on anything :) so I don't know what to expect. Do you guy run 93 or 89 or the cheap stuff 87(I like the last one)?

    powdercoating good idea or bad

    Initially I thought the wheel being any color other than silver, gunmetal, black, or chrome would look ugly but I like the lip being the same color of the body. If the whole wheel was blue (in the pictures above) I think it would look hideous.

    Potential problems for 99 cobra?

    The guy contacted me through PM on the corral. Evidently the battery drain was due to the 3:73 recalibration through the cig lighter. He barely drives the car (2k in 14 months) so the drain becomes more evident. It has now been run through the ignition. The ticking problem is being...

    Sound deadening material.

    Here are a few links that will help with your decision. I did the same thing in my 5.0....when I had one. This guy tested all kinds of stuff and his website is very informative. People now donate free material to him to test effectiveness After reading it I decided to use Second Skin...

    Potential problems for 99 cobra?

    How long did you have to look for it? I've been casually looking for a couple of days and it seems to be the going rate in my area and even more as I look nationally.

    Potential problems for 99 cobra?

    Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the car is 5 hours away. It is hard for me to diagnose anything because I cannot hear it. The guy is selling it on the corral. I guess I'll just have to wait until one a little closer comes my way....or until the guy fixes it and then tries to sell it.

    Educate me on 2V vs 4V

    I'd take a 3V over all of them because I love the look of the 05+ (when a few body mods are done) but they are out of my price range. I just want something with that has a "fun factor" to driving it. I also want something that is refined enough to take my wife out on a date. 2V would probably...

    Educate me on 2V vs 4V

    I just sold my 5.0 and am thinking about buying a 99+ Mustang. What is the difference in 2v vs 4v? Are the 2005+ 4V and everything under it 2V? Pros and cons? I'm willing to read if you guys know of some articles. I'm just trying to learn as much as possible so I can make a good decision...
