update on the Cobra

[ryan218]

so been enjoying the cobra for the most part. lol. had a few things go wrong but that was brought on by me. exploded the rear end. fun, not but got a new center section for it and all good to go. got a set of factory cobra wheels for it. while i did the rear end went ahead and did the whole rear brakes. hoses,calibers, rotors, pads. ordered everything for the front as well. should be here on friday for it. after that its gonna get a full exhasut. long tubes and catless h pipe. its all stock minus the stage 2 clutch and the flowmaster cat back. also i put in a steeda clutch cable and quardrent last week. but not for much longer!

also found out its production number, very low. number 345 of 4040

took some pics and had some fun.


love this car

Did you drop a 5.0 in it?

 

[Cobra912]

looks good, gotta drop it though

 

[fivespeedsteed]

[stykthyn]

you finally learned how to do a burnout

 

[SVT32VDOHC]

No wonder you exploded the rear diff....You're doing burnouts and launches with a factory 99-01 Cobra IRS. Those are are so weak it's not funny.

BTW...Nice to see you got into the 4V family!!!

 

[NIKwoaC]

Just wouldn't be a good Ryan post without a burnout pic.

Good to see you're still turning wrenches, man!

Looks good, you should lower it and move that rear spoiler back so its flush with the trunk lid, i dont know why they didnt do that from the factory

Besides the lowering, I worked on a 99 with the same spoiler. you can move it back so it sits flush with the trunk and you can just use some sealer and seal up the old holes and drill new ones. The old holes are hidden by the spoiler FTW!

Ryan nice car buddy i'm jealous

PS i forget but i know you posted in the first thread when you bought it - how much did she set you back?

 

[lancec2c30]

You pulled the rear end apart and didn't do a set of 4.30's? Shame on you.

Looks much better with the stock cobra wheels.

turbo plus that much gear = bald tires no matter what.

 

[lancec2c30]

Oh, well you never mentioned future plans of boost. In that case, 3.27's would be perfect.

 

[SVT32VDOHC]

My 3.55's seem like 4.30's in my 04 with only 17lbs....only 17 lbs....
