Hi, I searched allot on this and found some mixed results. I don't drive the cobra much anymore (maybe 3-4 days a month), and it makes a tapping noise with rpm. It goes away when warm (most of the time at least). I heard it on a video with other threads and I have heard these following...

Figured I would post here being I still have my cobra (and not in e55 forums yet). I was fortunate enough to keep the cobra at least for a little while, even with the 06 e55 amg. 1000hp between the two cars, at least until I have to sell the cobra :) Garage is looking sweet. So first week in...

Restore project. Needs interior but all the parts are there. straight panels with 1 dent on drivers side. Primered black. Original wheels plus cragar 390s with BFG tires. Wheels/Tires are in GREAT condition. Mach 1 hood and original hood. Center console, refurb dashpad, front and rear...

Well after 10 years I may have to sell it..arghh. I heard a knock tick metal slap from motor area on a hot day. Temp gauge was 34 in normal range. The noise was very concerning...Water and oil levels are good. After it was off and cooled down, it started and did not make the noise (...

Hi, I changed plugs and used the same plug/gap I have used to 70K miles. Now, under 3500 or under load it hesitates/stutters and those moves on through the rpms. not sure what else could have changed. I may restart the computer (disconnect batt for minutes). Or next week take plugs...

Hi, So, 72k miles and leaking. Should I: 1. Buy new ford radiator? 550 bucks? plus install. 2. Buy LFP off ebay 420 delivered? much improve vs stock? 3. Repair mine, if minor issue/possible. I thought for sure there would be an oem replacement for 200 bucks, no? I NEVER...

Well, after 70k miles and no motor/tranny issues. Today, got in and hear a knock from near inside dash area ? Maybe? Is knocking even when in neutral and no clutch. seems to go away at higher rpm. MORE shaking and knocking at lower rpms under load. Thinking maybe valves? rockers? Hope...

Hi, I figured with all the people upgrading their Heat exchangers, there must be several stock ones laying around. Well, turns out mine may be bad after 60K miles. It never overheated or gave me any trouble..soooo...if I decide to save some cash and NOT upgrade to the LFP, how much would...

Hi, Any opinions are welcome. I will try and keep it short. 1. For the last 6 months or so it seems when I go between 50-70MPH I get a vibe running through the entire car. it becomes a more violent shaking of the car if I precede over 85+MPH. I would feel as the car would start to fall...

Hi, Well, finally 7 years in they want me to smog. Here's my short (hopefully) story. I believe my o2 sensors have been shot for some time. the check engine lights been on for years, no ill affects, it runs great. I have stock cats and all only cat back (mufflers). I should be...

Hi, Buddy has a 1st gen fox body. Stock suspension and all. He has 17x9 wheels, Can he fit 285 nitto 555r tires or should he stick with 275 ? I know 315 won't fit right? Even though they fit on my 03 cobra with stock 17x9 setup.. hmmmm Any thoughts? thanks from him :)

My clutch has been chattering for some time. No biggy but now it has trouble getting into gears/shifting. I liked the stock one. How much should it cost to do the job. Clutch, flywheel resaurface, tob, etc.. I just don't want to get ripped off. I am figuring about 800-1000 dolllars...

Has anyone put in 273 gears in the rear end? 300.00 mod and pretty sure my MPG should go from 20-21MPG HWY to 24-25MPG HWY. 25MPG with 500+ HP = Unheard of, at least by me or anyone i know, or anyone they know. Plus with a whipple, you may get 24MPG with close to 700 BHP. Obviously...

Opinions on SoCal? With 10% unemployement things much be cheaper the weather should be the same!

Well, it has been a lil while and this is back. Most say that HHO systems do NOT work. here is a link for a Mustang GT with a water cell-HHO system. He claims he gets 32MPG on his GT (Usually I would expect maybe 16-20 tops). 1993 MUSTANG GT "HYBRID" CONVERTIBLE let me know what ya...
