    Cobra vs. PBR calipers

    I've got the 2003 PBR calipers on my '95, & was just offered a deal on some used 97 Cobra calipers. They both seem to be 2-piston models. Is the Cobra better, worse or about the same? Also, when I went to the PBRs, I retained the small stock '95 rotors---is a larger rotor an improvement?

    JLT cold air...Will it suck up water with the filter placement??

    This is a very timely question for me. To speak to your question from my current xperience, I noticed a big seat-of-the pants improvement when I installed the Anderson power pipe. Expensive, but effective. And I do not have a chip, because like you, I chose moderate mods, the gt-40Y heads &...

    Anderson N/A power pipe vs C&L true flow

    I've recently installed the Anderson PPipe & MA meter. Pricey, but really woke up my mild H/C/I combo. To install, the wires to the meter need to be lengthened, and some sort of anchoring bracket must be fabricated to stop the pipe/meter from rattling around in the fender. I installed 24lb...

    Do the FR500 Steering Wheels look good in a tan leather interior?

    Some good info herein, but the black/charcoal match question is still open. I'd like to see some good photos. And I do find it hard to believe that a painted rim could hold up in daily driving.

    Do the FR500 Steering Wheels look good in a tan leather interior?

    And--does the black in the wheel match our interior black? Any photos?

    The covering on my sun visors is falling apart

    I tried to clean my 'vert sun visors up and used some diluted Simple Green, and the cloth overing disintegrates. Lots of sun over the years probably helped, too. Is there a way to recover or is there a good junkyard replacement? I guess with the built in mirrors & lights,OEM replacement...

    Suspension on High Mileage Daily Driver

    Most of the aftermarket suspension kits have metal-on-metal surfaces, which give superior handling, but transmit noise--not what I wanted for a daily driver. I installed Eibach progressive lowering springs, Tokiko Iiumina 5-way shocks---smooth as silk set on 2 for daily driving, Steeda...

    351w heads worth anything?

    Uh-Uh, Final. The oversized 351 heads were the Cleveland heads, not the Windsors. The '69 (C90E) and '70 (DooE) 351 heads were the best you could do way before the many modern Aluminum heads came out. Any of those would breathe bertter than the 351s.

    Nitrogen-Filled tires for street?

    My wife just took her new Volvo in for its first service, and the dealer talked her into refilling her tires w/nitrogen, claiming better mileage, no slow leaks & a better ride. Seems to drive the same to me---only difference is $39 less in the checking account. Is this "upgrade" of any value...

    Bent Rim help

    Go to a high-line car dealer and ask the service manager where they send their bent mag wheels for refinishing. I had a bent Volvo mag repaired for $125 that would've cost over $300 for a replacement. Couldn't tell it from new.

    Painting Cobra rims on the cheap with spray cans--A How-to

    Couple of weeks ago, I posted a query on how to go about this, and now that I've done it---and got good results---I'll share how I did it. First, I had some bubbling paint to take care of. These rims had seen several winters. I rough sanded them with a detail sander, and finished them by hand...

    Question on the '99+ brake swap--is my spare gonna fit?

    Right UR BlackSnake95, I have the 99+ PBR 2-piston upgrade on my '95GT. The calipers don't look any bulkier---just wider side-to-side because of the need to contain 2 pistons. The car originally did come w/the 5-lug Pony 16"ers, & I upgraded to Cobra Rs years ago. And I'm NOT sad to say...

    Question on the '99+ brake swap--is my spare gonna fit?

    I run the Cobra R rims on my GT. It's too cold to test fit my spare right now. If the stock spare doesn't fit what replacement spare rim do I need to get?

    Touching up painted Cobra R rims

    The silence on this post is deadening. Hard to beleive there's 10,000 posts on painting taillight bezels flat black, but no one's touched up wheels. I've decided to plow ahead w/no primer. I'm not going to paint the whole wheel, just touch up some spots where the existing paint ihas bubbled up...

    Touching up painted Cobra R rims

    Nah---It's Motocraft labled---warning of poison and first aid instruction in several languages on the labe in several languages---so politically correct that there's no room for pertinent info.
