    After a couple small issues the 4.56s are in and.... wow why didn't I install these a year ago. Now I'm still taking it easy on them but they are amazing in every way so far, can't wait to get them on the track in a couple weeks here! And anyone still considering putting gears in, just do...

    Oil leak

    When I start my car up oil drips in a solid stream down from the oil filter area. This started last week. It only drips for a minute or so creating a small puddle on the ground. After the minute it stops.... it wont happen again unless the car sits for hours. Even if the engine gets cold again...

    First time at the track

    Finally had time to make it out to the local 1/8th mile track. Wasn't expecting to do very well since the last owner decided to put 275/35/18 street tires on the rear, I did drop the tire pressure a little bit and made sure the contact patch was good. Didn't help too much was having traction...

    Battery Hold Down...

    My car does not have a battery hold down clamp. The last owner must have lost it along with many other things. As of right now my battery can wiggle around and be lifted out since nothing is holding it down. I need it to not move so I can pass track inspection this weekend. I have a few...

    Raced an MR2

    Buddy of mine decided he wanted to check out his modded 93 toyota MR2 against my 97 cobra in a friendly race. My cobra is all stock (hopefully not for long) except for a MGW shifter. The MR2 has intake, O/R exhaust, an after market turbo @ 16psi (which sounds sweet) and some other mods...

    Help. Winding noise while decelerating

    I just recently installed the mgw short throw shifter in my 97 cobra. Now when I decelerate in gear i hear somewhat of a "Winding" down noise. It is rather loud in all gears but the loudest in 2nd (I assume because second is a bigger gear). I can also hear it winding up while I accelerate but...
