    HAS THIS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE!

    i am having the same problem. i just ordered new valve cover gaskets yesterday. the gasket that is around the spark plug has blown out in three of them. i only have 30000 miles on the car. should be fun to change. thankfully the gaskets are cheap. like 22.00 per gasket, but still, it is no fun.

    New 98 Convertible Owner - Questions

    the o/r means off road. meaning no cat's. not sure about the synthetic oil stock but it does help to put it in. as for the shifter. i agree with the above statement, but putting in a short throw and some better trany fluid does help. the new shifter might be a little notchy at first but it...

    Stock Engine Detonation, New to SVTs

    sorry to hear about your problem, but i am kind of happy at the same time. i am having the exact same problem and i have been banging my head against the wall trying to figure it out. i have put the car on the dyno and it didn't do it. i have changed the coil packs, O2 sensors, fuel filter, and...

    Just purchased an 04 Cobra Coupe

    i still currently own a 98 cobra vert. i have put some money into it and as you can see by my sig i don't have the power that i want. money wise, it would be cheaper for me to buy an 03 than to put the money into the 98. plus, i am afraid that if i sc the motor i will eventually blow it up...

    RAG TOP

    i wouldn't do it yourself. i have heard that the car needs to be put in a climate controled room and the top has to be at a certain temp range so that it can be stretche dto fit. that is just what i have heard. i don't know if it is true or not. good luck and please post how it went if you do it...

    98 Cobra: Recent Engine troubles

    i have a similar problem. i just pulled out the plugs yesterday evening and found that the gasket on the valve cover around the plug was pushed into the holw for the plug. so the plug had some oil on it. not where the spark occurs but around the side of it just below that. i am thinking that...

    Very hot cockpit!

    the way i solve it is to put the defroster on low and turn the temp to cool. this way you don't feel it as much.

    this car is starting to get to me

    i have put my ignition back to stock to try and solve this but it hasn't worked. the car only has 29000 miles on it. also the idle will act strange some times. it will rise to about 1300 and just stay there for a while and then go back to normal. i don't mean the slow return to idle. i have been...
