    gear setting... pinion depth...HELP!!!

    Measure your original pinion shim and pinion together. This is the total measurement you need to shoot for with your new pinion to get to the original depth. Measure your new pinion and select the proper shim that puts you closest to your original measurement. This method should get you by if...

    Are you four lug or five lug? I've got a set of MT DR's, 275/40/17's, mounted on '99 Cobra five lugs, your welcome to try them out for a couple of passes. I went from a 13.4 at 107, with a 2.0 60ft to a 12.77 at 110 with a 1.9 60 ft, they work pretty well, although I thinks slicks would work...

    That's a good time, I ran the same at esta with LT's, pullies, and 4.10's, 14.1 at 99, on street tires. On Sunday there were some nice stangs there, but we didnt stay for the eliminations. A 331 GT with spray ran a 9.99 @ 130 something, a nice white notch with twin turbos? ran low eleven's...

    Signature images? The most moronic idea for stangnet to date?

    Just go to the control panel and turn off the signature images... But I agree it seems unnecessary to have them in the firstplace.

    Everytime I park at the car wash across from DD, after a little bit the Dewitt police role up and say "I'm coming back in five minutes to arrest anyone that's still here for trespassing." Maybe that's just my luck. I wish ESTA would have several street nights like the one they had last year...

    Will these rims/tires rub

    I've got 275's in the front. They rub near full steering lock on the front ground effect. During normal driving there is no concerns, parking causes a little rubbing. I've got tubular a-arms and coilovers, with '94 V6 spindles, 2003 17x9" Cobra wheels, if that helps anybody out.

    Ball Joints...

    Heating the a-arm to get the ball joint out may be the easiest way, but not the safest. Possible to weaken or expand the steel, leading to big problems down the road. The removal tools are cheap and work well, and you'll have peace of mind that the ball joint isn't gonna rip out 70mph around a...

    brakes

    I'm running '03 Cobra rims with Fox length axles, 9" rim with 7.11 " of back spacing if i remember correctly. With 275/40 tires there is some rubbing under moderate cornering, either on the quad shock or the wheel well. But it does clear the fender lip nicely.

    Who Makes A Clutch Peadal Stop

    Maximum motorsports makes a clutch pedal adjuster, http://www.maximummotorsports.com/CL-7.asp and I think Steeda makes an adjustable stop . And here is a link to an article on making one:http://www.musclemustangfastfords.com/tech/0203mmff_clutch/

    '03 Cobra- bright blue injectors?

    Like the title guys, do the '03's have bright blue injectors stock. A neighbor's friend swung by with an '03 tuned by LaRocca, said was pushing about 500rwhp, but was a little tight lipped about his mods for some reason. Don't know much about cobra's and these injectors looked a little out...

    Those with Manual rack and pinion come in

    I've got the full FR kit on mine, I absolutely love it. I am running 275/40/17's in the front and it is great until less than about 10 mph. Then it is definitely two hands on the wheel. I only drive it about once every two weeks so not an issue, wouldn't want it as a daily driver with big tires.

    I had the same problem before, ended up using Permatex Ultrablack to seal the back plate right to the pump. Has held up great, no leaks.
