Should be built the week of September 2. I purposely chose a later car build, but man, it has been a long ten months =)
Feels good to finally be close to a car again, miss the 03 =)
How many of you guys have your GT500 as your primary vehicle? I just sold my 03 and I have an 08 Wrangler. Before the Jeep, I only had one car at a time. Now that the 03 is gone, I find the value of the Jeep is near what I paid for it. I got an amazing deal on it. So, my question is, if I...
The order was placed back in November, I took the last "official" GT500 allocation my dealer had. I just delivered my 03 Terminator to its new owner. It was a fun ride, and I got a good price for the car, so no complaints. Made a new friend, we will stay in touch. Drove from Fort Lauderdale...
Well, I delivered the car to the new owner. I couldn't be happier for the new owner or the car. I know they will both enjoy each other. I had ten great years with my car ... now my destiny lies in the new GT500 due in a few months.
It has been a pure thrill to enjoy this forum with you all...
I'm still undecided on what to do next with the Terminator. It rides *so* well. 75K miles and I just took out the stereo, put the complete stock kit back in. Sounds like the day I bought it. I took out the hood shocks, turns out when I had the car evaluated at carmax, they broke them, so...
Couple of questions for you guys.
I've been running Nitto 555's on my Cobra since the stockers ran out. I do plan on track time and have my old 03 stock rims available. I'm thinking when I go to the track I may put DR's on the stock 03 wheels (17", right?) and for replacements on the SVTPP...
Hey guys.
I have a 2014 GT500 on order, so it looks like I'll have to make room in the stable for it. I'm considering selling the 2003 Sonic Blue Coupe. The mods are in my sig, also included are the set of original rims, any spare parts, etc. I have Lojack with the early warning system, I...
Well, I was hoping to report better news. So far, 2010 has not been a good year for my Terminator. It was stolen on Feb 25th, the thieves moved my Jeep out of the way and stole the car. I got it back due to Lojack, then got it fixed. While there, I got the shop to repaint it, it looked...
Been gone a while. Short story is that my baby was stolen Thursday morning (story below) and recovered thanks to a $600 investment made in Oct 2002.
My daily driver is a 08 Rubicon. The story has a happy ending =)

So, as best we can figure, the car was stolen...
All-
I mentioned in a thread a while back I was going to try to integrate an aftermarket stereo with the existing Mach 460 speakers and amplifers. I tried to find the old thread, but it was lost... and search is down. I'll bookmark this one and keep it updated.
This is phase one, in an...
Well, I went and did it. I found a local shop and I'll have the parts later today. Parts list:
Centerforce DF800075 $329.00
Centerforce TOB N1714 $30.00
Fidanza Aluminum Flywheel 186481 $325.00
Total with tax: $725.04
My mechanic will install these and do some other things...
I've been trying to decide on a replacement clutch. Everytime I search on svtperformance for "centerforce" I get nothing. There are a ton of threads, so is this happening to everyone, are there other terms or phrases that are ignored?
What gives?
Hey all, I've searched the forums, but many threads are old. I did seem to find information on the adapters made by PIE. Well, there is a new one out, specifically for the Ipod. Now, I know how to install the adapter and electronically how to connect everything up, what is unique about the...
Does anyone here drive their cars less due to the fuel prices? Do you drive it more often strictly due to weather and not cost?
I find myself driving just as much, feeling it at the pump, but whith the amount of variance with oil prices -- it seems we have no idea hwere prices are headed...
I'm on a few mailing lists and my friends know I like the stuff.
This is a link to a Z06 site... the pictures are funny as hell.

I'm not sure if this has been posted, but Diablo's website has all the Predator stuff in their downloads section. The Downloader, the Data Log Viewer, and the upgrade to r12 are all there if you need them.

After 16,500 miles, I decided to get my baby to the shop for the head swap. I initially considered de-modding flash back the original tune and then have Ford do their worst. Well, Ed, Barry, and Benny gave me the hook up down here in South Florida and arranged to get my car into a delarship...
OK, we all are aware of "the tick" associated with a problem in the original heads on the 2003 Cobras built before Nov 2003. My car was one of those and I will have to take it in for a head replacement. Now, my lingering questions are as follows:
1. Of the cars that we heard about dying...
Can someone recommend ONE vendor that carries:
Metco 100mm billet idlers (I need two, replacing my stockers).
Metco Drive Shaft Safety Loop
I want both, shipped from the same supplier. I looked at all the vendors supporting this site and all I find are people who carry one or the other...
Can someone help me with something simple... I need the part number for the rectangular rubber grommets with a holes that the rods from the exhaust tips go into. I have no idea what to call them, so I guess a description will have to do. The body shop that put my car back together could not...
OK, as I have posted here, on October 30th I was rear ended by some knucklehead who could not stop his car in time. He was then rear-ended when abruptly stopped when he hit me, thrusteding his car again into mine. The good news is that I was hit at 10-12 mph, no more. The absorber is dead...
It seems in South Florida, when it rains, people suddenly forget how to drive. Luckily, even thgough I was hit twice, the car sustained minor damage. Three cars involved, my blue Cobra, a 94 white Toyota, and a 2000 Toyota.
I was heading West on Commercial Blvd (for those of you familar...
