    New 03 Cobra Shift Light, Chip, etc

    Drum roll please....... Measured the pullies.... Needless to say as I am sure you guessed... they are not stock. SC Pulley: it looks a hair under 3in.. could be 2.93 could be 2.8 Lower Pulley: Looks a hair under 8". So I guess this guy probably had this tuned (or at least I hope). So...

    New 03 Cobra Shift Light, Chip, etc

    Great My luck this guy probably toasted a piston.... and that is my tick tick tick tick..... Besides the pulleys anthing else to look for? Like I said I don't think that ECU has been touched, the dang kick panel looked like it had never been removed. How difficult is it to pull the gauge...

    New 03 Cobra Shift Light, Chip, etc

    Well I am really wondering as well... Do you know anything else I can look for to tell what else has been done?

    New 03 Cobra Shift Light, Chip, etc

    Haha that was another thing I was going to ask about. I am not sure. The exhaust tips say Borla, but I didn't know what was stock on the 03/04 cobras. I know the silencer is off but thats about all I know. The exhaust sounds unbelievably awesome if it is the stock exhaust...

    New 03 Cobra Shift Light, Chip, etc

    I parked next to an SUV today (like a wall ha). Did what you said. I could hear "tap tap tap _ tap tap _ tap". It was pretty consistent but there were a few times when it blanked out for a minute. I have started the car in the garage before and when it is cold I really don't hear it at all...

    New 03 Cobra Shift Light, Chip, etc

    Possibly... Actually I checked the car a few minutes ago while driving, and I think I do have the head tick... only thing weird is it only happens after the car is warmed up. To get this head taken care of what am I looking for as out of pocket expense? The car's warranty is expired so that is...

    New 03 Cobra Shift Light, Chip, etc

    All I know is I have never seen it come on and I have taken this baby right up to redline so it hasn't been changed.... I checked the OASIS report yesterday from a very helpful guy on here, and it has never been in for more than a squeak to the dealership and it only has 17k miles so I think...

    New 03 Cobra Shift Light, Chip, etc

    UM thanks for all the help. Yea it's not the head tick so that is good to know. Is there anyway for me to tell if the ECU has been flashed? This shift light thing is small but it is killing me...

    New 03 Cobra Shift Light, Chip, etc

    Well guys it looks like I am keeping the 03 Cobra. I have a few questions of course. Noticed there is a shift light in the console, it never came on, so I did a search. Noticed the only ways to get rid of it is light or chip. I pulled the kick panel off tonight (broke a frickin metal...

    I need a good radar detector

    HAHA Yea I was reading this the other day thought the whole thing was funny, I was reading it to see if they agreed with me (which most do V1 awesome)... It has saved me so many times around here. Yea around here its both, depends on what they feel like and they will site you on either.

    '03 Cobra Pinging

    I agree with you, but this is Carmax, I don't know if you have dealt with them before, but they actually told me someone had put 87 in it, I would think most wouldn't have said that and made something else up. Like someone else said here though, I can always get the extended warranty which...

    '03 Cobra Pinging

    Well I guess I was wrong..... They had the car for an extra day today (waiting on the broken spoiler lens) and they figured out what the noise I heard on the highway at low RPM's in 5th gear was..... At first I thought it was the exhaust rattling, but then they spoke of 87 octane so thats what...

    '03 Cobra Pinging

    I have them performing a compression and leak down test on it. We will see what they come up with.... Anyone have the specs of what I can consider acceptable norms for those tests?

    '03 Cobra Pinging

    Hey guys, I took the Cobra I planned to buy out on a test drive today. Took off fairly quick no issues, etc. Got on the highway had the car under load in 5th gear and heard some pinging. Come to find out some wrench monkey at the car dealer put in 87 octane gas. I guess its pretty...

    06 or 03 Cobra?

    Hey guys, After at least 4 years I'm BACK! I used to have an 01 V6 and had a bunch of issues with it and got Ford to take it back. After that I have been on an import buying streak, I have a Toyta SUV and I had a Honda Prelude that I turbocharged and just sold. Now since I am done...

    I was watching Special Unit 2 yesterday..... I don't know if you guys have seen it or not, I like it, but im a Sci-fi guy. Well anyway they showed numerous shots of NY from all different angles.... I found myself rewinding it (because it was taped) to see if I could get one last glimpse of the...
