    Cheap performance mods

    That all sounds great but..... 02Pony & Droptop: Let me say first off, that I agree with you. Save your money for a better investment. 99% of the guys and gals in the aftermarket world will tell you to save your money for the end all, be all upgrades; but the guy specifically said he had...

    96' Mystic Cobra help

    Not without ALOT of custom body work The shapes of the hood, headlights and tail lights are all different from the 94-98 to the 99-04 bodies. That will also mean the front and rear bumpers will not match up. The side skirts and spoilers may not be as difficult to blend. This is not to say...

    Upgrade or new engine?

    Stay stock and use bolt ons if possible All SVT's are rare; the Mystic, Cobra R, Pace Cars, and Mystichrome models being the rarest. As far as higher values in the future, you will need the car as close to stock as possible when you goto sell it. This is where bolt ons versus motor swaps...

    Anybody using track legal roll bars/cage?

    Why not? But then you could actually use that Cobra R wing for what it was intended:nice:

    Anybody using track legal roll bars/cage?

    I am looking at adding a track legal roll bar or cage to my Cobra this spring. Just in case I ever get to a timed track event that requires them:nice:. I've searched the SVT and 4.6 forums, and only found one post recommending the KB roll bars. Is there anybody else using these (or another...

    Upgrade or new engine?

    Flywheel or Rear wheel horsepower? Are you talking flywheel or rear wheel, cause that can make a huge difference. I feel your pain on the FR500 parts. When my original Teksid snapped a rod, I thought about having it rebuilt. The cost was very high, but it would have been a hell of a motor...

    Cheap performance mods

    Gears are a good choice I am not sure what gears are available for 7.5 rears, but you can buy & have gears installed for less than 500.00. It doesn't add any power, but makes better use of what you already have. I'm not sure if you can reflash your ECU for the new gears, so you will probably...

    Need to find a new home for my DOHC and TKO600

    A little more detail... No, if it was just a fresh coat of paint that would be way less. I have severe chassis vibration at high speed along with rust starting to come through the paint in the cracks and crevices. My Cobra was abused before I got it. It has definitely been in a wreck of...

    03/04 Cobra FPW hood vents

    Looks nice I have always wondered, what happens when it rains? Is there a drain in the hood, or does the water drip onto the engine?

    Need to find a new home for my DOHC and TKO600

    I have been perusing the V6 forum looking for V8 swap info. Wasn't able to find exactly what I want to know. All the good write ups seem to involve the 302 motor. Here is my scenario... I have a 99 Cobra with a brand new DOHC motor, TKO600, brakes, rebuilt IRS, full exhaust, yada yada...

    Contemplating purchase of an 02 v6.

    Another two cents on insurance... I was dumb-founded when USAA told me that my 1997 SOHC Neon was going to cost $20.00 more per six months than my 1999 Cobra (excact same coverage on both). If I didn't want to drive my Cobra in the snow, the 4 banger wouldn't even be worth it. According to...

    98 Cobra...harness question

    Metra makes quality stuff, but any 1986-up plug should work Entering the 98 Cobra info at Crutchfield (see link below) shows all Fords from 86 up use the same harness'. It looks just like the harness' I used. I actually tossed the ENTIRE stock system for a complete JL Audio & Panasonic setup...

    Came across an 03 Cobra today...

    Borla is a popular choice as well Some of the Mach 1 guys (and my C5 buddy) I cruise with use the Borla exhausts. It WILL turns heads when you go ripping by. I have BBK longtubes, BBK catted x-pipe and Magnaflow cat backs. It is much better than stock, but not where I want it to be...

    Track events = no car insurance?

    I am hoping some of you out there can help with a track participation versus auto insurance dilemma. If you would rather not hear me rant on and on about how peeved this lady at my insurance company made me today, here is my question in a nutshell. Is there an insurance company that will...

    Random cut-off problem

    Thanks JLT So is this associated with aftermarket intakes? I can't see the general public being OK with thier Mustangs cutting off once in while. I'll try the down shifting and see if that helps. On a side note, thanks for quoting me the individual replacement parts for my CAI. I will...

    Random cut-off problem

    I have a gremlin I need help with. On three occasions over the last month, my car has stopped running on the highway. It didn't sputter and then die; I just suddenly notice the car is no longer running. This happens when I am approaching off ramps from the highway. The battery and check engine...

    What to look for when buying a used 2003 Cobra?

    Price and mileage seems good. This is a Ford dealership, so I would feel better about buying it from them than a "used" car lot. I am always leary of high end vehicles on used car lots. That's not to say it may be shady, I am just paranoid. Is there a warranty? I believe that un-moddified...

    Rattling clutch

    A little more info needed Do you mean that the pedal vibrates from mechanical engagement, or that it vibrates like "change in a cup holder"? My clutch pedal vibrates sometimes because I have vibration issues in my chassis. It is similar to jiggling the pedal lightly with your hand. If that...
