    Raced a Mach in the Cobra

    Stock Mach is basically a 99-01 Cobra with a live axle rear end. Does anyone know why Machs are advertised as 305hp and the 99-01 Cobras are 320hp?

    OE WHEELS on Ebay? Questions.

    This is a 295/35ZR18 on an 18x10. It fits perfect. I'd definitely say a 265 would have the sidewall angled in pretty good. If you can buy therims without the tires, that might be the best bet. If you go that route Tirerack.com has great deals.

    forgive my ignorance, 98 cobra in the UK

    Finding parts over there will be your big problem. I have a friend here who has a good friend in the UK with a Fox. He occasionally has to mail parts you can't get there or are way too high over there. Good luck though, from what I here there aren't many stangs over there, let alone snakes.

    Anybody Ever Order From Mr. Bodykit.com?

    +1:ban: And I'm all for making your ride unique but that bumper cover is a rip off from the black widow kits you get for Eclipses and STI's. If you want a good bumper cover go to MMFF and they have some good advertisers for NON-RICER covers.

    Is there Y2K Cobra R Deep Dish Wheels Available?

    Do you have a link? The only Y2K Cobra R's I could find were 18x9's.

    I wanna get blown!

    Go turbo instead. The shop where I get my work done installed a turbo and a 2V 02 gt. He dynoed at 383rwhp and still gets great gas mileage. When I save enough that's the direction I'm going.

    99 cobra interior lights

    Your out of luck. I have a 99 white Cobra vert. The only interior lights are the dome/map lights on the rear view mirror.

    Bolt-On or Weld-In Subframe Connectors

    I have Kenny Brown subframes welded in. But I also have jacking rails and extreme matrix brace, all welded in. Weld them in!! That is the only way you can be sure they never move. Not sure your hp but bolts break and sheetmetal tears, welds(if done right) never break.

    Are aftermarket gauges really worth it?

    I agree with V_Eight, get the electric gauges. Not to mention they are much easier to install and you don't run the risk of a mess like with a mechanical gauge. When the sending tube fails you could have oil or antifreeze all over the inside of your A-pillar.

    Is there Y2K Cobra R Deep Dish Wheels Available?

    You sound like me, I love the Y2K Cobra R's but was told that they didn't come in an 18x10. They may now, I'm not sure. But I ended up buying 18x9 and 18x10 FR500's. To get a one off look I had them paint code matched to my 99 Cobra. If they do come out with Y2K Cobra R 18x10's I may sell...

    Clutch Replacement

    I just had mine done and I let the pro's do it. Once we got in there I decided to replace the pilot bearing, and the rear main seal. We also resealed the rear main seal plate with diesel RTV. If that bearing goes or either seal goes you're paying to get that tranny pulled AGAIN. You might...

    Exhaust?

    I have a 2.5" Dynomax OR x-pipe with a 3" MAC catback with 3.5" tips. I get compliments all the time about how deep and LOUD it is. I also get comments that you can't tell it's a mustang just by hearing it.

    IRS Trac-Loc rebuild

    I have a 99 Cobra. When I had a new clutch and aluminum flywheel this week they had it on the rack. The mechanic said I need my trac-loc rebuilt. But he also said they don't do IRS diff.'s because the spreader tool is $500 and can only be used on Cobra IRS's. I hesitate to go to the dealer...

    New Clutch

    I just went with a RAM HD clutch with a RAM aluminum flywheel. If you call RAM they can put a kit together for you that is perfect for your driving style and purpose. It has a stock clutch feel and is very tight. But I love autocross as opposed to drag racing so you may not want the...

    20 inch wheels?

    I agree that "V-6" looks sooooo ghetto. I run 18's and that is all I'll run. Don't go bigger, go wider!

    Clutch and Fylwheel Help

    I just did a clutch and flywheel in my 99 Cobra. I went with a RAM HD clutch with a dual friction plate, and a RAM aluminum flywheel. I love the result, but it did cost me nearly $1000 just for parts.

    2001 rear wheel width question

    You can go with 18x10's. I'm running 18x10 FR500's with 295/35 zr18 tires, and it looks great with no clearance issues anywhere.
