[QUOTE="KWClutch, post: 8153857, member: 74362"] So here it goes. For those of you who don't know my name is Josh and I live in Denton, Tx. I became a realtor early last year and took off. I've always wanted a Cobra so I found a 98 Laser Red Cobra on Craigslist with 84k miles from the hometown I'm from (Georgetown, Tx). I flew down there to check it out and found out the owner was actually my old high school english teacher. I used to have a 00 Laser Red Gt and would always park by him. That was a cool experience so I pretty much had to buy it on the spot. He sold it to me for 6k cash in June of last year. I drove it back up here and it was sweet. He had kept it bone stock. I kept it that way till about August where I added 4.10 gears, MGW short shifter and JLT Cold Air. I ran a fastest 8.6 in the 1/8 with those mods. Never had any problems with the car untill.... A couple months ago I was driving out to meet a client and all of a sudden a small rattle starting coming from the motor. I freaked out and added some oil even though it wasn't horribly low. Seemed to help it a little. Drove it home and then ran some seafoam that night. The next morning it seemed to go away so I decieded to drive it again. On the highway there was a loud pop and the rattle came back. I killed the ignition and coasted it into a parking lot. Got it towed back to my house. Finally got the motor out 2 weeks ago to find out I spun rod bearings 1 and 5....... So project 03 into 98 begins. I'll try to do a good write up with pics.
