just picked up an 03 with 9400 miles. currently has kooks long tubes, MAC (i dont like it) catted X, and a magnaflow catback.

edit: i was wrong its got JDM long tubes. are these the same as kooks?


first thing i need to do is pull out the cats. they are shot. in a couple weeks i hope to order a pulley, iders, CAI and a tuner.


im coming out of a 91 3000gt VR4 that was making around 350ish AWHP. this car just has a different feel as for being fast.

love the cobra but i have a little work i need to do. steering rack is leaking bad. 1st and 2nd synchros are completly shot. ill be ordering a new rack today and have to figure out what i want to do with the trans.

[vr4]

steering rack leak and bad synchros and only 9400 miles? scheez I hope you got a good price on it.

 

[vr4]

Wow! Nice deal! Welcome to the Terminator world. You're going to have a blast with your Cobra! Just keep a tight grip on your pocketbook. There are far too many goodies for this car. LOL!

 

[vr4]

LOL i know its easy to blow money

i currently have about 18 grand worth of stuff sitting here for my 3000gt that was rearended a few months ago. now it may be even harder for find another vr4 to put these parts on. ill be too busy enjoying the cobra

Wow...and a convertible to boot. Damn, you got a good deal. How did you manage to squeeze that deal with only 9k? Good going, either way :coolman:

needs a steering rack (it will be here tomorrow) and a trans (1st and 2nd synchros are completly shot.)


oddly enough the tires are original...the DOT codes match the 1s listed from ford when the car was sold. the clutch also still grabs real strong.


honestly i would prefer a hardtop. i had an s2000 for a while and miss the stiffness.
