    Flywheel question

    Maybe I can help. I have an aluminum Fidanza flywheel with 800 miles on it sitting around. I am pretty sure it will work on the 03/04, and will handle plenty of power. PM me if interested. [email protected]

    99 Cobra - Bad Vibration at highway speeds! HELP!

    Bigger is (sometimes) better I am a fan of wide tires myself. The only snag is that not all manufacturers produce tires that are exactly the same, even though they are sized identically. Brand "A" may produce a 305 that is just as wide as Brand "X"s 315. If you can find a picture of the...

    99 Cobra - Bad Vibration at highway speeds! HELP!

    Wow, now I know! I stand corrected. I never heard that Ford "officially" had a drive train vibration issue until now. My car does vibrate, but it is not what I would classify as "horrible" like mcastro713 stated. After replacing my blown T45, I attributed the increased vibes to the TKO600...

    Need to know if transmission has to be removed to perform driveshaft swap.

    I think 03 was the first year for stock aluminum d/s My 99 has a huge stock steel driveshaft (for about another 12 hours). She's getting an aluminum d/s tomorrow!

    99 Cobra - Bad Vibration at highway speeds! HELP!

    Another possible option... I had a car that vibrated badly at high speed due to one tire being worn out more than the others. Check your treads. This is the first I've heard of this being a common problem, and mine sure does't vibrate that bad (I have poly motor mounts). As far as the...

    Cobra towed back to where I got it... :(

    Glad to hear things are looking up. I feel your pain, and know how you feel to have your baby back. Two weeks after I bought my 99, the tranny died. Replaced it with a TKO600, and a month later, the #5 connecting rod shattered. Replaced the engine with an 03/04 Mach 1 crate motor. Along the...

    trans question for the cobra guys

    Tremec TKO series I use the Tremec TKO600. It is rated @ 600 ft/lb. I am barely pushing half that amount of torque right now, but I never have to worry about exceeding my tranny down the road. Did the 03/04 Cobra's come with a Viper Spec T56? I doubt it if they are only rated @ 450. Check...

    Cobra bumper for 1999 SVT

    Gears gears gears I second Shadowfist. Check out the newer posts in SVT Tech for details on 99 performance recalls. Once you know your Cobra is putting down the power it should, get gears!!!! 4.10 if you plan to blow it down the road, 4.30 if you want to keep it N/A. If gas mileage is a...

    GTvsCObra

    If you are aftermarket crazy... There's nothing like owning a Cobra. It has commanded respect from day one, even it's older versions. If however, you can't leave well enough alone, you might consider the GT route. I have spent an unholy amount of money fixing the abuse from my 99's previous...

    need alot of help with my new 99 cobra

    Was your 99 intake fixed? Not all 99's suffered the dreaded lost power issue (according to SVT). Check these websites out and call SVT to run your VIN. A dyno is a sure fire way to verify your pride and joy is up to snuff, and a factory trained tuner can safely tweak your car on the dyno for...

    more power for na 99 cobra

    In reference to another post I made to you... I replied to your inquiry about the 99 recall in another post. I see here you mention that you have a "new engine". If your motor was replaced after mid 1999 with another "stock" engine or other aftermarket supplier like SHM, the intake would...

    99 cobra how to tell if recall was done on my car

    Mine never had the recall done either. Here is a link to probably the best place to get info on the 99 recall... http://mysite.verizon.net/txsnakecharmer/techman1.htm As stated by Cobra90GT, call SVT to have the VIN checked. While you are on the phone with them, order the certificate of...

    Carbon Fiber valve covers (and anything else for that matter)

    I was at the Fall Carlisle swap meet today, and ran into a company that had some nice looking 32v DOHC valve covers on display. I remember SHM having some carbon fiber valve covers for $1200, so I asked him how much he wanted. Turns out, they coat your old valve covers (or other parts for that...

    The Best Cobra

    It WAS the fastest... Of course the new GT500 is the new corral king, but, you can get the 03/04 for ALOT less and spend a few extra bucks to embarrass a GT500. I don't have a 03/04 model myself, but I hear a stock model makes close to 400 rwhp (they were very under rated by Ford) and with a...

    Should I port & polish my extrude honed intake?

    I have a spare intake manifold assembly that was extrude honed. It feels very smooth to the touch internally, but I was wondering if having it P&P would make a difference? I know a shop I used to goto for work that will do the same type of polish as SHM (cut off the bottom, work the inside...

    Exhaust vs Trans crossmember

    Sounds like they installed the wrong T45 If I remember correctly, there are two different types of T45s for the Fords. When I was looking for a new one, I called Smart Auto Parts, and the guy said I needed to measure something (can't remember what though) to make sure I get the correct one...

    Progression of the 4V DOHC motor

    Thanks UM The Teksid motor has seen some miles, but still runs well. I am the overly anal type, and as this is my daily driver, I can't afford to keep going in and out of the shop for days at time doing upgrades. I would really love to upgrade the Teksid to a FR500 replica beast, but parts...
