What do you guys think would look the best on 18" rims. The black FR 500 or black deep dish bullitts. I have the tires, they will be 265/35R18 Fronts and 295/35R18 rears. Thanks
Check out Tire Rack .com put in basic size say 275/40r17 and read reviews on the New Firestone Wide Oval. Then check the $$ vs other tires. You will know what to get.
For less than $100 I put "'glass packs'' 13 inch mufflers that look just like borla's. No problem with clearance-fit. With Bassani catted x pipes great sound and excellent acceleration --- feels like 30 HP increase over previous flow masters and stock mufflers. A little drone at 70 mph but no...
I have 4:10's but with 27.1" OD 255/50R17 tires on the rear that actually makes it a 3.89. Did that on purpose as I really wanted the 3.89 but hard to find. I get 24 mpg at 70mph 2500 RPM. The taller rear tires with 1" spacers really give the car a nice rake with the 275/40R17 (25.7" OD) on the...
Thanks for the info. Planning next week to have front tower brace, subframe connectors, bump steer, x2 ball joints, 4 bolt caster, camber plates and rear steer kit. Will after market deep dish 18 X 9 bullitt wheels and stock 17" cobra rims fit with the 2000R brakes? There is only a few wheels...
Thanks's for the info. Real new to this -- that's why I am asking. Probably this year will only dirive the car 7/10 on the track to see if the bug bites me. Have heard no- no on drilled rotors. Probably will do about 4 events next year. the car was lowered 1.5 inches. Bushings I think were...
Have lowered with H&R springs and bushing kit. What next for modest investment for road course events. Will put upgrade rotors on with HP hawk pads later. Any suggestions there is appreciated.
Thinking Steeda or Kenny Brown full length subframe with tower brace for now. Suggestions?
Do not think they will work. you need side in and out same side on the mufflers. I have some Flowmasters delta 40's 2 chambers off my 01 cobra . Anywhere near Nashville or Atlanta? A real cheap way to go with nearly the same sound is el chepo glass packs which I am currently running. They feel...
I put 275/40 on the stock 8 inch rims on the front and 255/50R17 on the rear which are 1.4 inches taller than the 275's with 1 inch spacers and lowered 1.5 inches. This puts gives the car that ol muscle car rake and fills the wheel wells.
I have put K&N, mass air meter, underdrive pulleys, X pipes, aft cat systems etc on mine but all those $$$'s added together do not add up to what the 4:10 gears did. It is big dollar labor (gears are cheap) but the gears are still the best deal.
If the tread and both steel belts came off in a 360 degree hoop and left just the casing radial plies from bead to bead then you ran the tire flat due to tread punture most likely. Also, the innerliner should look very wrinkled and somewhat discolored. This could have happened days or weeks...
I have Bassani x catted and and no cat H with 2 chamber f/m which never rreally like. went with basic glasspacks which look in construction like the Borla and like them much better. There is Company in Charlotte called something like Werx Automotive that had Cobra 01 Borla for $550.
I have 'glasspacks' on a 01 cobra. With the catted Bassani X there was only a modest sound loudness and tone vs 2 chamber f/m. With a Mac non catted H pipe what a tremendous loud and distinct sound under full/partial sound. I think my glasspacks are 90% what magna would be. A h/y speed a little...
Sub frame and Exhaust
Glens muffler in Seneca is excellent for exhaust as I have had him put some different systems on my 01 Cobra. Believe he would and could do it but know he does not do headers. 864 882-8298. Only cash or check.
For more technical doings such as pulleys,heads, etcsuggest...
Tire PSI
The main purpose of tire inflation is to hold some load. The tire stamping will you give the max load for it's stated inflation to carry that load which is always way more than the axle rating (GVAW). Therefore, since most passenger car axle ratings are much less than what the tire...
Exhaust sound
Off the subject. Assume the x pipe is catted. Do you have a comparison of other 01 Cobra's with the Bassani X pipe and 2 chamber flowmasters vs your magnaflows. I have the Bassani catted X pipe but want more deep tone. Will the magnaflow be better or about the same as...
Rear Gear
I go along also with Gunter in L'nville just off hwy 20 & Hurricane Shoals. I drive 100 miles from SC to have him do my work. Put 4.10 in IRS Cobra is pretty big chore. Works great.
