    Is it Worth the Trouble

    Stage shallow...cut a good light. Don't run it up to redline...shift around 54-5500. Get rid of that swaybar, do the tire pressure thing (careful, not too low) practice once or twice to get a feel for it all. and blow the doors off that Datsun! Are your shocks/struts adjustable? Set 'em...

    clutch blew up with 7000 miles

    More holding power, like 2400lbs vs 1400lbs or somewhere in that range. Basically, just a heavy duty stock replacement made by Valeo. I would replace stock WITH stock if the King Cobra were my only other choice.

    clutch blew up with 7000 miles

    Wow...at least u got 7k out of yours. Mine lasted 2 months! Broke it in, made a few 1/4 mile runs, came unbonded on the fwy one night. Just like yours, the disc surface was fine...just came apart! Installed a CenterForce dual friction 700 miles ago and it is AWESOME!! King Cobra clutch...

    Need tires! What's the best?

    Look up! Drives fine. No darting or anything weird. A little harder on the power steering when idling and steering. Stock on last Cobras.

    Need tires! What's the best?

    OK...from experience...u can run any size up front (on your 8" rims) up to 275. I run 275/40s on my 8" fronts now. I would recommend, however, going with a 255 or 265. The rear will easily accept a 275/40 tire. If sticking with 8" wheels, I would run 275s and 245s, or 275s all around...

    do flowmasters really flow?

    Ok, please...someone tell me how ADDING 30-48 inches of 2-1/4" pipe with bends and curves (I realize this creates a bit more restriction) is going to result in better performance. Wait, better yet, just explain to me how turn-downs @ the mufflers HURTS performance. I sincerely wish to...

    Value estimate needed please.

    Interesting...I'll keep that in mind.

    Value estimate needed please.

    Thanks guys! That's a fair ballpark I guess. I'm into it for about $4500 total, and you just can't get back your investment, especially with an unfinished car. I appreciate all comments and thoughts about it though, so please chime in! I have a few more pics...anyone care to see them?

    Value estimate needed please.

    I've been totally out of the older Mustang circles for about 3 or 4 years now. I'd like to know what you guys think my garage's 'resident project' would be worth if I wanted to sell it as-is. We're moving to San Antonio next year and I just don't think I care to haul it with me. It runs...

    do flowmasters really flow?

    How does that really HURT hp and tq numbers? Anyone have proof of this? I think the stock 2-1/4" 4 cat system with weld in (or bolt in) Flows and turndowns would be at least as good as stock (better by a little, I'll bet). I want as much torque at as LOW an rpm range as possible (it's a...

    Tire Sizing?

    Ummmm...almost, but not quite. 265/35/18 TREAD width is 265mm. Overall TIRE width varies with manufacturer. SIDEWALL height is 35% of TREAD width (or 40%, 45%, 50%, 60%, etc.). You're right...the 18 indicates an 18" wheel.

    need info, please read

    The 28mm offset suggests they are NOT deep lipped. They are the same offset as my 10.5" Cobra R replicas...which you know are not deep dish style. Check the offset of some deep Bullits on Ebay.
