    Dying with debt.

    My father passed away on Wednesday and I've been trying to figure everything out. He had been on dialysis for a little over 5 years and in and out of the hospital a large portion of the last 2 years. This is leading me to believe there will be a large amount of medical debt. I do not have any of...

    Blew a spark plug

    The other day my car started shaking and making a pronounced rattling noise so I popped the hood and heard it coming from the head. I gave it time to cool down to pull the plugs. The boot on the COP was in a few pieces and the coil was mangled. I pulled the plug, which had stripped the threads...

    Transmission issue

    Last night driving home from work I noticed a chattering noise. I drove around the side streets and noticed it only makes this noise in 3rd gear. When in 3rd and I give it gas I get a rythmic clicking/chattering sound. This is my DD so I can't let it sit while I figure out what's wrong so I'm...

When I plugged my SCT in and installed a tune I noticed that the fan didn't kick on like it always does when installing a tune. I unplugged all of...

    Gears plus Xcal2 question

    Ok I'm getting my new gears installed on Wednesday. I have an Xcal2 but I don't have a laptop to hook it up to (or the cord). Is there anyway I can have the speedometer calibrated for the new gears ONLY using the Xcal? I'm hoping I won't have to run to a shop to have them do something so simple...

    What size differential

    I know it's gotta be on here somewhere but I can't find it. I searched and pulled up every thread under the sun. What size differential are in a stock 99 Cobra? Are they the same size as a 96 Cobra? I went to buy a new gasket and all of the local places only list up to 96 on Cobras for some...

    99 Cobra vs C6 Z06

    I was driving to work yesterday, going down I-70E when I see what appeared to be a brand spankin new Z06 in my rear view mirror. I hurry up and move over into the right lane so I can get a good look at it when it went by. As the first one passed I noticed there were a few of them and that's when...

    Car won't idle...RPM's drop and die

    Ok. Here's the story. I drove my car a few miles to the bowling alley and had no problems at all on the way there. I come back out after a few hours and start the car up. It starts up fine but the RPM's automatically drop all the way down and the car dies. It doesn't even try to idle. I started...

    Jack Stands & IRS

    I've never had a car with IRS before so I always put the jack stands on the rear axle without any problems. This car as you all know has IRS so I am clueless as to where the correct spot for placing jackstands in the rear is. Pictures are always welcome. :-D Thanks
