Background: I have had my 03 cobra for just over a year now. It was an early 03 (built before September 02) and I have had the engine replaced once under warranty for a blown ring. The car has only minor mods. (Magnaflow Exaust, K&N CAI, Predator tune (stock). The new motor has just over...

How many miles would you put on a new cobra motor before using the predator 93 octane tune? before adding a pulley? before adding nitrous? I'm only intrested in the tune right now. I had bought the tuner when I had 15,000 miles on my car, now the motor has 23 and I don't want to damage it...

I just got my cobra back from ford after having them replace the motor with a brand new one. When I took the car in the shop the clutch pedal was heavy. I would estimate that it took 35 - 45 lbs. of pressure to push it in, when I got it back it felt like the clutch in every other car 15 - 20...

Has anyone had any trouble out of the rear-end of their 2002 explorer? I have what sounds like a worn ring and pinion or a worn pinion bearing. Just curious is this is normal after 77,000 miles.

Anyone looking to get rid of Bose 5.1 or better system PM me please! :coolman:

Ford just put a brand new motor in my car under warranty. Do I need to break it in? What is the best method? In the past I have always heard 500 miles under 3500 RPM's, change the oil and then another 500 miles under 4500 RPM's, change the oil and again and your good to go. Any...

I posted in here a couple of times about blue smoke I was getting on start up. Almost everyone said that it was normal, but I went with my gut feeling that $40,000 car should not smoke....ever. I took the car in to Ford about a week ago and they verified that the car did smoke on a cold...

Who does good cobra work in the Dallas area? I am moving back to South Arlington next week and I want to have my car pullied soon. Any suggestions?

I have done a search, but I can't find the exact information that I am looking for. I want to know if you have to have the tick to have your driver side head replaced under waranty. The reason that I ask is because my motor was built before Nov 2002 (the so called faulty ones), and I have...

Did anyone see the FOBRA on Horsepower TV? I think it was on either yesterday or today. They were talking about and old mustang GT vert that had worked on that had been stolen and stripped. I guess some guy bought it and restored it, then took it to the 40th anniversary meet in TN. They...

I finally got around to dynoing my car about two weeks ago and I found out something very interesting, my HP is 402.8 but my torque was only 351.7. In most other cases I have seen the torque is usually higher, what gives? My only performance mods are a Magnaflow 2.5 inch catback and and CAI...

Any there any groups that get together in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area? I did a search but was unable to find any. Anyway, I'll be moving back into the area sometime around September. Just looking for a place to hang out. Thanks, :beer:

Not that I expect an honest answer from everyone, but who bought their own cobra and who had daddy buy it for them? I'm tired of these kids at the track who never worked a day in their life bragging about how fast their car is. Until you have to work 80 hours a week so you can pay your...

Anyone ever wonder why SVT cobras are not in the movies? You see all kinds of Italian trash, vipers and vettes, but no cobras. There wasn't even one in "Gone in 60 seconds"! Any ideas? :shrug:
