I popped the cap out with a screwdriver(the wheels probably should of been removed). They are the 99ish cobra wheels or 01ish premium or deluxe option. The car has 461 rwhp and 452 tq so not sure if thats considered "serious mods" but the previous owner definitely did some work. I put a vortech v3 si kit on and had it professionally tuned .How'd you get the center cap off the rim without taking the wheel off? If those are the rims i think they are, that's hard to do. Those caps are designed to have them tapped out from the rear after taking the rim off.
The axle is new, but hard to say if aftermarket or not. If i had to guess, i'd say it's a stock ford 5-lug axle looking back at me.
If this is a stockish car, i'd say it is an OEM axle, however if it had some serious mods, i might investigate further. Need to see the rest of the car really
I snapped some pics of the front brakes. I was told cobra brakes but again .. Who knows!Ok then yes...i'd probably pull the wheel and rotor and see if there are any identifying marks on the axle flange.
An OEM Ford axle WILL have a Ford oval on it...somewhere. I just cant recall where.
Hate to say it but those do look like OEM Ford SN95 axles though. What brakes are on the car?
They are drums in the rear. I was told a Tremec trans by the last owner he said he broke 3 stock t5s so he got a tremec. But who knows. Maybe this spring i will confirm some things.Front brakes are Cobra 13" brakes, but the rear look like drums. Can't really see well. If they are drums, then they are fox-lenght 5-lug axles. Still doesn't confirm if they are OEM or not.
What's the trans? A t-5?
Stupid question but what is PBR stand for? And what do I tell the guy at the auto parts store when buying new pads?I think you adding the supercharger suggests it's more serious than the NA engine it was before you. The rear being built up by the previous owner could be subjective, if the traction lock was done (which I assume it was since it works), that could be "built".
I still wouldn't go too nuts trying to figure it out. If you can see all the markings when you pull the wheel off, great, but I wouldn't open the rear to check.
You'll figure it out when you break it, which very well could be never.
Those fronts are pbr cobra/bullit/mach1 brakes probably with 94+ spindles.
This car stops better than most new cars I drive.. lol well maybe not but u get the point. It definitely has stopping power.PBR is just the brand, pads for a 99-04 cobra, mach1 and bullitt. Probably a 94/95 cobra too.
They were all the same for quite a while. It's a nice little upgrade.
How does the brake pedal feel? I wasn't aware there was a master cylinder that would work with drums in the rear and those front brakes. I also wasn't aware you could use an adjustable proportioning valve with rear drums. Both things I could be wrong on, just never seen it done.
Regardless, put rear disc conversion on the to do list. That's when you will see the axles.
the emergency brake still works to. If that matters.This car stops better than most new cars I drive.. lol well maybe not but u get the point. It definitely has stopping power.
