    Saving up for a Termi

    I was paying approximately $250 every 6 months for full coverage on my Terminator. Of course I'm an old geezer, married, and zero points or accidents on record. This was with a multiple car/home discount too. U.M.

    03-04 cobras

    You sure about that? When was the head replaced last? The first 1 or 2 revisions to the '03 head did not have 9-thread spark plug holes. Does your current have 4 or 9 thread spark plug holes? U.M.

    03-04 cobras

    You can purchase fully assembled heads directly from Ford. Steve at Tousley Ford has the updated heads in stock all the time, They've gone up a bit recently but he can still gaurantee the best price on a set of new Terminator heads or head. I believe its just north of $1900.00 including...

    03-04 cobras

    So what was the cause for the bad head? A valve? Can you be more specific? That's amazing that the car has that many miles on it. U.M.

    v6/GT brakes bolt onto 03 IRS?

    I think they will as long as you have the SRA brackets. I know that when an IRS is swapped out of a Cobra for an SRA you need to get GT brake caliper brackets in order to adapt the Cobra brakes so I would think the process would need to be reversed to adapt GT brakes to the IRS. U.M.

    03 Cobra max rim width.

    No, and that's the problem you see. Unless you are ordering custom made rims and willing to pay the additional cost for custom backspacing, you'll have to deal with what's available. The IRS on the Cobra makes installing wider rims more difficult than the GT's. In order to ensure the IRS bolts...

    cooking oil

    Cooking oil? Try some Dawn dishwashing soap. Keep in mind it will also take off any wax you have on the vehicle. U.M.

    03 Cobra max rim width.

    Can't really say about the front. Most 03/04 owners stick with the stock 9-in wide rims up there. On the back you can put 10.5-in wide as long as you run some 3/8" spacers (or larger) and extended lugs. U.M.

    Major issue with my 03 engine

    You didn't by chance take the car out on a extended high speed run in top gear did you? The stock PTW clearances on these 03/04 engines is really tight to say the least and there's been more than just a handful of Cobra owners who've burned up their motor because the piston expanded in the...

    Why did my thread get locked/closed?
