    For those that have driven both GT 5spd and auto?

    How did they compare and which did you like better?

    What's a "tune"?... duh.

    Essentially the newer electronic cars do not provide the ability for the typical owner to make certain adjustments or changes to the car, everything is controlled by the PCM which is hard coded by Ford. A chip or flasher returns that ability in varying ways. You can do it yourself or have an...

    SVT section not helping....

    Sounds like someone doesnt know what they are talking about. Show him this if he doesnt believe it. I have changed enough 99-01 intakes to know.

    '99 Cobra belt diagram

    OK, the first one was the normal route most 99's have. Ford did something funky on a small few with a different idler/tensioner setup which caused a different route. Try this pic below.

    Pics and a Video taken today of my ongoing project, you'll be amazed !

    Curiuos, how much of the donor running gear did you reuse....T56, IRS, etc? I think I need to spend more time on the FFR board and start getting up to speed on things. Keep us posted. A KB sitting on top of that thing will turn that little ride into twice the animal it already is.

    I have been waiting for FF to support the DOHC engine for a few years, glad they have come around. I have seen your progress over on the FF board, lots of work you have there, congrats. I would like to do the very same thing using a modular DOHC, not sure on the SC or NA motor yet. Still...

    If buying a used Cobra would already installed mods be appealing?

    It was just a matter of time before Nazman found this thread!! :) If I sell it probably wont be right away. I take a long time to make decisions. I just have an itch for something else and the stable is full! Some things I am considering are; new Shelby Mustang, used Viper, 65' Cobra...

    If buying a used Cobra would already installed mods be appealing?

    Hehe, I agree with all three of you. I personally only buy cars that are factory also since you never know what the car has been through unless you personally know the history of the vehicle or owner. I just figured there may be others that would prefer some extra goodies at little or no extra...

    If buying a used Cobra would already installed mods be appealing?

    I have been debating selling my Cobra and would prefer not removing all the mods I have installed because the car is tuned and runs like a top as is. I realize I will never recoup the $$ put into the car but cant stand thinking about returning the car to stock or near stock, however I am not...

    cobra convertible

    Verts=Tuned down=nope....same as coupes. Maybe a split second slower due to extra weight of more chassis support but otherwise same engine, same power, same performance.

    99 SVT Tranny Removal... Problems.

    The hooker headers are slip fit collectors, not flanged, so in order to use the pro-chamber you would need to do some modifying of one or the other. I had a pro-chamber on mine briefly and custom fit the ends so they slipped on over the header ends. Otherwise you need to install the hooker...

    99 SVT Tranny Removal... Problems.

    The entire MAC header/burning oil thing has been around for years with these 4V engines, maybe before. Whether or not the oil consumption is due to the headers or some other cause I dont know but I have seen multiple (meaning dozens and dozens) of complaints from 4V owners of this oil...

    99 SVT Tranny Removal... Problems.

    The top two bolts are very hard to get at and loosen but can be done. I used a 1/2" drive socket, extension with swivel and an electric impact gun. Then I bought new bolts to re-install. Here is a link to my tranny job that may help. http://mysite.verizon.net/txsnakecharmer/trans.htm

    cobra exhaust question

    3 chamber Flowmasters are quieter than 2 chamber, great for verts but still have the traditional Flowmaster drone about 2K RPM. I once had those installed and after several changes now have Magnaflow. I think the Magnaflow sounds similar to the Flowmasters 3 chamber without the drone...
