    WHY!? Are people so rude!!

    Yeah I go through the same thing every morning on the way to school: 70+ year old crossing gaurd literally yelling at me to slow down when I'm doing 10-15. Every day. One day earlier this year there was another lady there and she actually came up and banged on the car :fuss: yelling slow...

    Just got pulled over...

    Yeah, last time I got pulled over I wasn't so lucky. No suspension, but had to pay for 4 hours of defensive driving school. That's when I got me a radar detector- that thing has saved me more times than I care to remember :nice: .

    Just got pulled over...

    Well, I was driving home from Blockbuster tonight about 9:30, and I decided to get on it through first and second. Bad idea. I stopped accelerating around 55, slid it into 5th, and cruised back down to 48 or 50 (this is in a 45 zone). Well, about a mile down the road i see the blue lights in...

    MPG Improvments needed!

    I was kind of worried that something was wrong with my mileage until reading some of these :rolleyes: . All I have is CAI, shorties, and o/r h and I got 190 miles on my last tank (with very conservative driving) and it wasn't even bone dry :notnice: . With our 15.6 gallon tank, that's about 13...

    Is my speedometer wrong?

    Yeah, stock tire size. I was in fifth so I was probably doing 1800-1900 rpm.

    Is my speedometer wrong?

    Well I was driving to school this morning, and the radar detector started going off. I was doing about 50 (in a 45), so I played it safe and slowed to about 44 or 45. I come around the corner and it turns out it wasn't a cop but one of those stand-up speed things that displays your speed in...

    How much $$ to run 13.5's

    Here's the deal: I've got a '94 Cobra with all the mods listed in my sig :rolleyes: . It's going to be my DD for at least 5 more years (get me through college), so I don't want to do nitrous or forced induction. How much should I plan on spending to run around 13.5? I've got BBK shorties and...

    How long to install shorties and h pipe?

    I just ordered BBK shorty headers and a BBK o/r H pipe from Summit for the '94 Cobra. I'm wondering how long I should expect to spend installing them. Since I got the off-road midpipe, I have to do it myself (probably would have anyways to save $$), but I have plenty of help, although this is...

    Will 3.73's kill my mileage?

    It is a 5 speed. And what will I have to do to adjust the speedometer / odometer with a 3.73 swap from the 3.08's? I wasn't aware that this was needed.

    Will 3.73's kill my mileage?

    I've got a 94 Cobra thats virtually stock (CAI, headers and o/r h pipe on the way), and looking for a cost effective way to decrease times. Higher gearing seems to be the way to go, and I'm wondering what it's going to cost when it's all said and done (parts, installation, etc). Also, this is...

    Exhaust system

    Thanks for the help. Just to clarify a few things, there are no smog tests in TN (at least where I live), this is going to be a daily driver, although I don't drive a lot (less than 5k/year), and I do want a quieter system. I'm thinking shorty headers both for price and easier installation...

    Exhaust system

    I just got a 94 Cobra and don't know much about about mods except what I've read on here. All it has right now is a CAI, and I've been told to upgrade the exhaust next. I'm wondering whether to go with long or short headers, x or h pipe, and if a new cat-back is necessary. Price is a factor...
