    Dented my oil pan

    Yes, that is where the pickup tube sits. My son bought a 96 Cobra (same pan) with a similar dent that we were not aware of. The car was bone stock, driven by an elderly man as a work vehicle. Obviously someone jacked it up by the pan and the guy drove it....like an old man, so never did any...

    I don't need the bracket, just the cable. Thanks, Dave

    96 Cobra...does this sound like a tensioner, or rod knock? *Video*

    Picked up a Mystic Cobra for my son 2 weeks ago. I bought the car from the original owner (older man) and it has remained 100% stock. It drove great for the test drive. We got it home and took it for a spin and it ran fine. After 2 spirited pulls to 60, it developed this noise. I realize with...

    New Terminator emblem about to hit the streets.

    A good friend of mine had finally these Terminator emblems designed and made. The finished product just got in this week. :banana:

    Terminator rack issues *video* Need suggestions.

    So I think that I have narrowed down the vibrations and clunking in my front end. This video is the driver's side gear where it attaches to the inner tie rod. I was turning the steering column from below, with the wheels turned all the way to the stop. http://youtu.be/9ohw0-KdyHE I...

    Clunking, chattering noise when turning *video*

    Over the past several months the noise is getting worse. When turning and applying the brakes, I can feel the brake pedal pulsate along with the wheel. There is also a slight rattle when going over bumps at lower speeds, but is solid otherwise. It sounds like I am driving a hooptie when I am...

    Can anyone ID this blower pulley?

    I can't find any markings on it. The last owner did say it was a 2.8. I have searched for them for sale and in photos online and none look like this one. It is maroon and looks to be aluminum. Thanks.

    CDC sequential tail light *video*

    The lights look great and work like I expected.... except when you hit the brakes. When you apply the brakes, the lights sequence and remain lit as they are supposed to, but then the outer lights continue to flicker at interval with the brakes applied. S2iJvRaJQWM

    Going to remove my engine tomorow. Any advice?

    I didn't see any write-ups in the how to section, so I just wanted to see if anyone has any "heads up" or know of any good links or tips on what to look out for when removing the Terminator engine. I have torn apart and rebuilt the Ford 4.0 SOHC, so I think this will be similar. Is it better...

    Cobra was sputtering at WOT, found this ...*pic*

    Ever since I got my car (2 weeks ago), once it is warm, sometimes it sputtered at WOT. So after doing some reading here I pulled the plugs to see if they were gapped to large for the boost I am getting. I think I found the problem. This and 4 of the plugs were pretty loose. I went to the parts...

    Need a photo or advice on this hose....

    While doing the brakes, I noticed that the passenger side brake hose is making a loop. This can't be right, is it?? Also is the hose supposed to go over or under the upper arm? And the driver side.....

    About to buy an 03 Cobra....have a question about my test drive

    I have never driven or even rode in a Terminator and I am coming from a 98 Cobra. This 03 Cobra steers straight at highway speed, but the car seems sloppy when turning from side to side while cruising. It feels like driving on nearly flat tires and seems slow to react. Is this normal? The car...

    My Cobra's horrific death photos. MANY PICS!

    So yesterday, I was driving my car (in a 15mph school zone) and out of nowhere, an 18 year old guy slams my 98 Cobra in the front left and caused the carnage you see below. There was an SUV sitting at the intersection who when I was spun around from the impact, my rear quarter panel hit her car...

    98 Cobra low oil light

    Is the low oil light on the dash supposed to come on when you turn on the ignition with the rest of the error lights? I had the bulb for the brakes/e-brake go out and noticed when changing it out that there is a bulb and circuit board in the low oil light socket, but it never comes on. I tried...
