From one day to the next, my cobra wont start. Battery is fine, even had a new one to install. Jump start does not help. All the interior lights and gauges turn on, but when I go to crank everything shuts off immediately. Any thoughts. thanks

Bump steer kits w/ new k-member Luckily I ran into a steal the other day and now need some additional parts. I got a Griggs k-member, A-arms, and bilsteins F/R with coilovers. I plan to lower the car about an 1-1.25 inches. I will be ordering MM CC plates, but also figured that I needed a...

I was wondering if I could get some help for the 99/01 crowd. My main passenger in my Cobra is my Brittany Spaniel "Bigfoot". I would really appreciate it if any of your could take a min to vote for him online. http://www.campbowwow.com/contest/PhotoContest/tabid/4370/Default.aspx Just go...

Well the R&R on my motor hasn't been the worst or best experience thus far. Cooling problems have been fixed, and now I'm onto another set of problems. Last week I pulled P0171 (Lean left bank) P0325 (cylinder misfire) P0330 (cylinder misfire) I found the tube going into my JLT PCV...

I found a pretty good deal on a CF hood, but was wondering how much it costs to prep and paint CF. Is it roughly the same as Fiberglass? Does it even take paint well?

Not as bad as Nazman's week, but I just stripped the bolt on my thermostat housing when trying to replace the thermostat. what a pain in the ass.

I recently installed aeroforcetech gauges and have been watching my water temps while fighting cooling problems. Anyways, the stock gauge will not read hot until you go over 250F. Lame

I just installed dual aeroforcetech gauges, but I need to set the warning light parameters. Im watching coolant temp fuel rail pressure Fuel Pump duty cycle where should I set my warning light levels ? Ill tackle the oil pressure sensor later this week. Thanks

This should probably be in the market, but I just wanted to put this out to the new edgers. Ive got a bunch of parts that are taking up space after my recent engine build. Ive got ASP underdrive pulley stock pistons/rods 2 oil coolers JLT CAI I really want to trade the CAI for a RAI...

My new motor was turned on today, oil/fuel pressure looked fine, water temps are good. The only problem I have is during acceleration. When I go75% throttle, the rpms jump with no acceleration, then drop about 500-1000 rpms and then it accelerates. Is this my clutch slipping? any thoughts?

I should be able to break-in my new motor by this weekend, but I have a few concerns. I read the following break-in method I found by searching old threads. http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm My new combo is as follows: JE Custom Pistons 9.2:1, 04 Heads w/valvejob and Crower...

I recently bought an 03 tank that came with the GT pumps. The guy said the pumps were working fine, but Im paranoid about these things. In about a week my new motor goes in the car and I wanted to swap the tank before hand. Is there anyway to test the pumps before I put in the new engine? BTW...

I need to order some valve springs while my engine is being built and have not idea which ones to get. Setup: 04 heads, with 99 cams, and eventually 12-15 psi (max) from a turbo. Im looking for 7000rpm capable springs. Thanks
