    Cant get lower caliper bolt off...

    After some bad experiences like this, I just always take my caliper off at the spindle now. 15MM hex head FTW.

    Nah, it's a coppery red now. I like the color. I wouldn't have guessed it was originally Mystic, except I have paperwork from the car when it was new. It's been completely color changed.

    Tie-rods

    Unfortunately, the modular guys don't seem to know much about tech.. I go to SVT-Performance and most people are busy discussing what rims and headlights will look best with their Mystic paint... :rolleyes: hahaha They'd filet me with a butcher knife if I told them my car was originally...

    Wheels spacers for 315s on 10.5 in rim?

    I ran 1/4 inch spacers, and sometimes over a reallly big bump the rear tires would rub on the fenderwell, but not enough to tear up the tires.. so it wasn't a big deal at all.

    Tie-rods

    I took my Cobra to be aligned this afternoon, and the wheel sensors couldn't communicate with each other cause my driver outer tie-rod is bent real bad.. How hard are these to replace? Easy to do in driveway? thanks!

    Tire size question...

    03/04 Cobras came stock with 275's up front... :) They will rub on a hard turn, but heck, it's worth it. 03 Cobras had steering stops that kept the wheel from being turned a certain amount. You can buy these for your car from 5.0 resto if you're worried about it.

    stanger007, sage2k & Green GT at track...

    I've got the 315's on a 9 inch wide wheel, and they look great. Your wheels are an inch and a half wider, so the tires would look too small. :notnice:

    Any problems running DOT 4 Brake fluid?

    On a car that doesn't see the roadcourse, or heavy braking for 30+ minutes at a time, there's no point in running a DOT 4-5+ fluid. It doesn't magically make you brake better, and in most cases will hurt you more. The DOT 4 and 5 fluids attract moisture a lot more than a DOT 3, so it ends up...

    The Green GT:

    The pipes look like they stick out really far in the pic, but they don't really IRL... but that's the only pic I have. Why's the car too clean? I drive it like I stole it... cause heck, I did kinda steal it. :lol: (Just got a super deal on it) (But I take good care of it as well)
