96 Snowflake build

[07stuntin6r]

Figured I'd start one for myself. Got some parts I'm going to install this week so I'll post some pics when I do the swaps. Car is a 1996 Cobra I got 2 months ago. Currently has BBK Its, flows dumped, BBK H (swapped out for an X), MGW shifter (was pro 5.0) H&R sport springs, MM caster plates, C&L intake, gears?, axles?, quadrant & firewall adj

Things I did myself are the intake, shifter swap and midpipe swap. Axles and gears not sure have to visually check myself.

Parts I'm going to install this weekend are as follows.

Magnaflow street Catback
MM steering shaft
MM alum rack bushings
MM heavy duty control arms
MM clutch cable,quad,adj kit
Prothane endlinks & swaybars bushings
LED instrument light kit
SR spring isolators (front & back)

Iso's are due to the stockers dry rotting and clutch cable is hopefully going to help my stiff pedal.

Hopes for the car is to be a good DD that can also handle for auto x and occasional drag days.

Nice looking cobra bro. And also a nice list of mods/future mods.

Nice Cobra. White is a great color on our cars. I’m interested to hear how you like the MM clutch quadrant kit as I’m wanting to buy and install one on my car before spring. Looking forward to following your build thread.

Thanks guys and yeah will do. I also snagged up the cable heat shield as well for extra precautions.

Starting the parts install today. Wish my MM clutch kit was here so I don't have to get on my back again. Did see that my clutch cable was "Made in Taiwan" assuming a eBay or AutoZone replacement.

Endlinks and swaybar bushing will be replaced. Probably wait until I get my LCAs to do my iso's. Working on the MM rack bushings now and steering shaft.

Got the rack bushings and shaft in. Exhaust was a pain in the a** getting it lined up. Got 2 clamps on the way to button it up Sunday. Doing this outside and it down pouring is not fun.

Looks good. Does the LED cluster lighting have any glare at night (i.e. hot spots)?

Installed my LCAs today and wow what a pain in the ass. Iso's that's were in were prob from 96 and were shit. Didn't think the grease was gonna be sticky as heck still got it all over me. Couldn't get the bracket for ABS flipped on swaaybar so I just bent the little lip back hopefully that's not an issue. Tried for an hour to get the cable off but no luck. Anyways also switched back to my h pipe because the x was for the new edge and wouldn't line up and was causing leaks.

Installed clutch cable kit today. Notice oil in and around my clutch fork and such. Looks like prev owner instralled a clutch what says made in Korea. Any ideas? Also clutch quadrant and adjuster is steeda which is nice to know. Thought it was some eBay junk after I seen the taiwan cable. Clutch pedal isn't stiff anymore but it is "springy and releases quick" steeda quadrant adj is for sale haha

Glad you swapped that cable. Those old Steeda cables were very prone to snapping. Didn't know they were made in Taiwan though.
Your pressure plate says "Made in Korea" on it?

Old bushings and a shot of the rear

Yeah and my fork is Ford but has a black piece inside of it. Only seen ones without it. Doesn't make the clutch cable and sit In the fork very well
