    Maximum motorsports upper rear coil over mounts

    I have not had a chance to drive with them yet but I did install them. I have spherical eyelets on the lower shock mounts as well so i imagine it will be some increased NVH. I don't really care though as the car is stripped out, solid motor mounts, etc.....weekend warrior and occasional HPDE...

    Ported VMP 2.3 Dyno numbers

    Whats the timing at? What were the ambient temps and IAT2 temps? What is elevation? SAE corrected or standard numbers? Mustang dyno or dynojet? What is AFR at WOT? What kind of rear tire? What does boost look like throughout the curve?…..start by posting dyno chart. All will affect the...

    TerminatorCobraJP's 700WHP Cobra Build

    That's unreal dude.....unemployed or not, guy should figure it out. Pay you back over time or something. Or when he gets a job. These cars being what they are get hit on the resale value pretty hard if there's a claim for damage. So you're kind of getting screwed on both ends. Personally I...

    03 Cobra: Teksid Build Questions

    For a built motor i would skip OEM head bolts and go straight to ARP studs. Get the 2000's if you can swing it. Buy once cry once.

    Is it worth trying to restore my 04 Cobra??

    Like Bob said above, don't sink any money into it until you know what you're dealing with. First thing to do on the list is check cylinder compression and bore scope it if possible. If that checks out and you know you have a healthy motor then its worth putting in some fresh plugs, oil, coil...

    Sigala carbon fiber pieces

    Im glad you've had good luck with your pieces and, like said above, give credit to them for producing carbon parts for these old cars. With CarbonDriven seemingly out of business, they appear to be the only game in town. Unfortunately my experience was not a positive one. I made a bulk order...

    Coilovers

    Whatever you choose make sure your shocks/struts are valved to the spring rate you're using and also that you can select what spring rate you want (or at least that it says the spring rate in the description). If those two things aren't listed, you're likely buying junk and would pass...

    Tuning options with aftermarket ECU’s

    If you already know generally how to set up a tune, your idle, fuel tables, spark etc you'll be fine. But if you're talking about literally learning how to tune without any background, you may be better off getting a remote tune from the guys that work with MS3 on the regular as a baseline and...

    2003 Cobra - Dyno Results

    Anytime dyno numbers are posted we need to know mustang dyno vs dynojet. Standard numbers or SAE corrected? Without knowing those two things numbers are *almost* useless. But nice numbers all the same...torque monster. Sure it doesn't have a lower pulley? Upper only?

    CCW offset help for solid axle car

    Well that's one reason Ford put them on there sure....its still an additional damper on the axle which on an SRA with coilovers is going to be a pretty rough ride. Anything I can do to mitigate that is welcomed in my book. I don't have all the answers lol.....i'll likely test it out with and...

    CCW offset help for solid axle car

    Im building the car to be able to take a corner and do the occasional HPDE event......not so much drag oriented other than digs on street maybe. I want the extra dampening for that.

    CCW offset help for solid axle car

    I measured the rear end housing when I rebuilt it to make sure....its a 99-04. It has the 14mm lower control arm bolts as well. I don't have the measurements on the IRS, but perhaps someone can add that here for context. I've always heard the 99-04 was closer to the IRS width than the 94-98...

    CCW offset help for solid axle car

    The offset is more for determining the outside fitment ie the wheel lip with the fender. For clearance to your interior component ie shocks/springs/axle etc you need to determine your backspacing. Tire choice and how much you're lowered will also play a factor here. Lower the car the closer the...
