Driving home from base last night my dash lights didn't come on when I turned on the headlights. I adjusted the dimming control and checked all the fuses twice with no success. The HVAC lights work and so does the odometer, but not the main gauge cluster. I really don't want to chase wires...

Stereo guys I need some help. A couple years ago I purchased and installed an Alpine head unit so I could listen to music from my IPOD. The stereo never sounded very good. It's like no power is running through the amps in back. I used the adapter that was recommended by Crutchfield to...

I recently started having a creaking/popping noise coming from the passenger rear side of the car when driving rough roads, hitting bumps, or even pulling in my driveway. Only suspension work I have done is H&R Race Springs that I installed several years ago. When I pulled the tire off, it...

I've never street raced my car before, but encountered a really nice blue C6 Corvette vert driving to Sonic with my wife today. It was being driven by a couple younger guys that didn't seem too interested. To keep it short, I got next to them in 3rd at about 60 mph on the interstate and was...

I'm needing some advice. I've got a new assignment in the midwest and need to drive my car from Washington state to Kansas where the car will go into storage for a couple months. My car has a 2.93" pulley and supporting tune for 92 octane. Will I have any troubles with this tune going over...

Audio experts please help. I'm looking to upgrade the stereo in my cobra. I needed Ipod connectivity so I eneded up purchasing an Alpine 9884 head unit. I had Best Buy install it and I'm not happy with the sound. The first time they hooked it up, it had zero bass. They worked on it again...

Last month I had the privledge to fly missions down to McMurdo Station, Antarctica. I flew 3 missions total from New Zealand down to Antarctica, and then back to New Zealand. Truely the mission of a lifetime. One of our passengers took this video of me landing on the Pegasus Ice runway...

Nice jab at those of us military members who are serving away from our families. I'm actually not getting anything on the side and proud of it since I'm happily married and fiercely faithful. Not that you'd understand that. I'm also quite happy since I'm going home in just a few days, so...

This is probably a weird one, but my car has an intermittent buzzing noise coming through the rear speakers. It sounds like feedback and rpm's make the pitch of the buzz change. I'll pop the trunk to check is out and many times the instant I hit the trunk button, the buzz stops. The other day...

I did a stupid thing this summer. While overseas on a mission, my cobra was unknowingly parked near a sprinkler system on base and my car was coated with 3 weeks of hard water deposits. I was able to get the whole thing taken care of with my Porter Cable buffer, but thought I'd take a shortcut...

I've searched the forums for installation instructions to change the springs on my 03 cobra and have had no luck. I'm looking at adding a set of H&R Race Springs and was looking for any extra info. I've installed a set on my 00 GT a few years ago, but lost those instructions long ago. Is...

Well, finally got my car to the track to run my buddies H/C/LT C-5 that also has 3.90 gears that I've mentioned in other threads. We were able to line up together for two out of my 3 runs today and the results were a little suprising. 1st run (my first ever in this car) I had a 1.757 60' to...

Just dyno'd my car after installing a 2.93" pulley and 100mm idler and tune from Horsepower by Hermann. I asked him for a conservative tune since I'm very cautious with my car. Anyway, looks like I'm making 436 RWHP/439 RWTQ SAE #'s. My A/F looks pretty safe (11.5:1) from what I can tell and...

Finally put my 2.93" pulley on my car. Got 3 custom tunes from Hermann to go with it. I'm really impressed with how hard the car pulls and how well it runs. Plan on checking my A/F on the dyno soon. I really want to put out the good word on Hermann the great customer service he gave me. Lance
