    confirmation, it's a neon!

    i think someone just hit 530 something on a untouched motor, from oil pan to valvecover. only time will tell how long it lasts, has to be a spot on tune past 500 to survive, same as say the 4g63. if the GT has an awesome driver and the SRT4 one sucked then it would be close. Me and my buddy...

    99 Cobra ECU Question

    hes talking about his OBDII Readiness check. im gonna assume you tried to smog it and you cannot because the readiness codes. IIRC you can have the dealer reflash the ECU and drive straight to the smog place or something like that. ECU's are interchangable but must be from the same year as...

    Help me decide quick-Keep 99 cobra, or trade in for 2004 cobra?

    i wouldnt get a 03/04 Cobra until you can afford it. your current cobra is nice enough, just keep it, pay off some ****, and be happy with still having a car thats nicer than 98% of the other cars on the road.

    Want to run with the BIG BOYS!

    5.0 modular stroker kit. i dont see a power adder other than cams, so might as well get a little extra "oomph" to make use of those cams, plus would be really nice on the juice. unless you plan on going FI in the future, then id stick to stock bore/stroke. in which case id get Manley rods...

    New Edge(1999-2004) Mustang Owners with 20" + Wheels!

    that all depends on what you consider a "Show Car" and what you consider a "Race Car" Nowadays you can have low 10, high 9 second cars and not have to ditch all the amenities that most cars at those levels have to. You can still run awesome times with full interior, system, etc. Its more a...

    Is anyone getting sick of rice?

    not everyone cares about 1/4 mile either. Just like a 03/04 Terminator, setting up a supra to just run 1/4 mile is a waste of a car IMO. however its been proven when a supra is setup to run drags, its usually single digits. supras are more of freeway kings than dyno queens, unless i knew what i...

    Where can I find 2003 Cobra Chin spoiler??

    i might be on the lookout for one as well, one day i divebombed a curb and now i have some battle scars on the chin.

    Help me decide my next Mustang!

    depending on location a 20k terminator would be a bottom of the barrel car. Usually for more populated areas they are 25k private party for good condition, 30k dealership for any condition. they are holding their value quite well. If you cant get a Term, a Mach1 is a great middle ground between...

    What cams are somg legal?

    i think you might just barely pass with VT S1 cams and stock H pipe. make sure they run the car hard on the dyno in freerun mode to get them heated up nicely before doing the test.

    New Edge(1999-2004) Mustang Owners with 20" + Wheels!

    he went with DD up front and rear, and the rears are not wide, thus why it looks so out of place. plus looks like hes running small tires on there. fronts should be tucked in or even with the fender, and the rears should be even or no more than 1/2" past the fender. 18" are as large as should...

    just ordered my first mod! few questions

    it will bolt up to your existing exhaust with no welding needed. thus why we call most of these smaller mods "Bolt Ons" as far as gains, probably enough to register on the butt-dyno. with a full open exhaust (o/r midpipe and catback) id expect no more than 10whp if your stock cats were/are...

    99 cobra bad clunking sound

    without hearing it or feeling it in person its pretty hard to diagnose. maybe try to take it to a tranny shop and get their opinion?

    Off road Pipe ?

    I hated the sound of off-road X pipes on my GT, i prefer the low end musclecar like sound a H-pipe gives. I had a Bassani Catted X and Bassani catback when i first had my cobra, it was nice, but when i purchased it back the guy installed the stock H to pass smog, and after hearing it i told him...

    IRS Differential Fluid Change

    its just about 2 bolts more difficult to remove the seal than a standard Solid Rear. takes the same fluid and refill procedure. while youre at it, throw a IRS brace up there.

    2.5" vs 3" cat back exhaust 03 Cobra

    i would go into detail on why a 3" will not matter. point is, it really wont make any difference until a 2.5" becomes a hindrance, which like stated, is pretty far from stock.

    BF IRS Brace finally installed (Pics)

    i was anticipating the cover to crack open once i took off the bottom most bolt (left it for last) but it stayed on tight. didnt have to reseal it. was ready with my catch bucket just in case though. ill do that another day.

    BF IRS Brace finally installed (Pics)

    i didnt know anybody but BF made a IRS Brace. This one is very sturdy looking, without seeing the competitors i still highly doubt theirs would be as stout of a piece as the BF unit. the downside to spending the additional 10$ for a colored piece (be it SonicBlue or RF) is that you will...

    05 GT or Terminator, what to buy?

    1) a 05+ puts out moderately modded what at Terminator can put out stock. a 05+ severely modded (built motor/tranny/etc) will equal that of a "dime a dozen" KB/Whipple cobr, and when all is said and done, probably cost about 10k$ more than a standard KB/Whipple+Support on a 03/04. 2) a 05+ will...

    BF IRS Brace finally installed (Pics)

    finally got motivated to do the install i have been dreading, anytime i have to deal with mustangs and exhausts its usually an ordeal. thankfully the bassani catback came off effortlessly. next i pulled the 5 differential housing bolts off, and put the jack under the diff per the supplied...

    MGW T-56 short throw

    yeah Reverse is usually temperamental with me, but not two-hands temperamental! glad to see you got it taken care of. i was thinking it might have binded. alot of bikes i know do that, if you park with them in 1st and say you move the bike backwards a few inches, you have to roll it forward to...
