    Should I trade my 97 GT for this 99 GT?

    1) Black is a nicer color. You have to work harder to keep it clean, but it pays off when it is clean. 2) The older car will be less likely to be screwed with in the parking lot. 3) ... 4) Do a PI swap. It is simple and you will have more power due to the manual vs. slush box.

    Should I trade my 97 GT for this 99 GT?

    Just saw his hood isn't painted. Find a decent reason to run away without hurting his feelings. Say, "My dad thinks I shouldn't" or something like that.

    Has anyone ran or currently using these?

    Can't speak on the Hankooks, but the Nittos are great. Look at the price and read some reviews before making your decision. I have the Khumos I listed above on the rear of my car and the Nitto 555's on the front. They are the same size, so I'm waiting for the all season to wear out. The front...

    Should I trade my 97 GT for this 99 GT?

    Nope. I would not go for it. First off, I don't like the auto. Second off, situations like these can ruin friendships in a matter of days.

    steering noise and sloppyness

    Make a video if you can. Not sure what sounds you are hearing.

    Lowering 99 cobra

    What's your overall plan with the car? Certain springs/struts excel in certain areas, and can hurt performance in others.

    Has any one ever powder coated their A-arms

    Agreed. Sand it down and paint, or buy an aftermarket one.

    Timing belt/chain

    Agreed, the chain is a non maintenance item. Most people don't touch them unless it's making noise or already in there.

    steering noise and sloppyness

    I would attempt to re-created the noises while the car is sitting still. If you can, get the car on a lift or jack stands and turn the wheel back and forth with someone under the car looking. Sounds like a ball joint IMO, but that's just from your description. This video was posted by...

    Has anyone ran or currently using these?

    I already told you, the two do not compare. All season tires have a different tread pattern so they can be used in the snow. They usually are much harder and last longer. Summer tires are good for two things: dry and wet traction. They give up all benefits of other tires to excel in traction...

    2000 gt computer issue

    Check all your fuses first. I would then test the ecu and determine if it is working. Then you may have to start tracing wires looking for shorts.

    4.6 to 351c swap

    The cost of swapping that motor into your car will equal putting a blower on and getting 400whp. Sell that motor, build this one for boost, and you will be able to out perform that motor in every way.

    Stick with the Nitto 555 for a DD, or the 555R if you don't put may miles on it. With all season tires, my traction control will turn on with the 2-3 shift. With the nitto, there is no issues there.

    Has anyone ran or currently using these?

    You are comparing apples to oranges here. The Nitto 555 is a performance summer tire, and the Goodyear Eagle is an all season tire. You will have better traction with the 555, hands down. If I'm not mistaken, the 555 is cheaper too. Are these the only two tires you are debating on? Plenty of...

    clutch sticking?

    Plan and simple in my mind: walk away. You already were lied to about the condition of the car. How can you trust him on anything else? On top of that, you mean to tell me you can't find another Cobra within 2 hours?!

    Replacing the Rubber Windshield Molding

    I would not go with a big company like that. They charge way too much. There's a small company around me that will come to your house and install for $100. Looks great afterwards too.

    Help getting my vid on Tosh.0!

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but I don't think that's funny enough to make it on that show. Nothing happens. Maybe if someone wrecked it would make it, but you're just wasting your time.
