    Photos of white Cobra w/ 10th Anniversary wheels wanted

    I have the chromies on mine but really like the 10th wheels on some Cobra's I've seen (blue, silver, black cars). Not seen them on a white one yet so if you have some pics, please post them. Thanks!

    stereo pops with no volume

    Don't know if anyone else has this problem but when my stereo is on but no volume (both radio and CD) I get this click, click, click noise. Sounds like an old vinyl record at the end of the tracks. Not real loud but there for sure. Seems to come from the driver's side triangle speaker with...

    Engine Tick or Paranioa? Video clip w/ Sound

    Engine Tick or Paranoia? Video clip w/ Sound I thought about doing some mods but may have an unusual engine noise when warmed up. Car is an '04 w/ 3,600 miles and the only mod is a cat back that has been on for about 50 miles. Engine always makes noise when cold but others I've heard do the...

    No wonder I have wheel hop...

    Long before I got my '04, I'd read that Ford installed 12mm bolts on the front subframe mounts when they should have used 14s. I have read many different things from mags and performance suppliers but generally thought that typically early '03s had this issue. Turns out my '04 built in March...

    engine noise?

    My '04 is making a noise at idle that used to be present only when the engine was cold. Unless I am hearing things now that I did not hear before, it did not make the noise when warmed up. I have heard several of these cars idle when cold and some noise is present. Mine now makes the same...

    Valve cover breather

    Thinking that the easiest way to eliminate oil getting sucked through the breather tube on the pass valve cover under boost would be to install an open breather only on the pass side. I would retain the PCV on the driver's side. The pro would be no oil sucked into intake reducing the chance...

    '04 TSB list?

    Hate to do it but I need to take my car in for some warranty work. The trans has been noisy in 1st and 5th since day one and now the steering has that anoying squeek plus the A/C vents rattle and one window leaks (has since new) and some other misc things. At one time I could look at the...

    pressure washer thing for washing sidewalks and driveways?

    Saw this thing at home depot that was red and hooked up to the end of the p. washer wand. Was about 12" diameter and was like a bowl that would be placed upside down on a flat surface. Supposed to wash more than just the little stream that comes out of the wand. Anyone use one of these and...

    idler pulley that retains belt cover?

    Planning on going with a 2.93 but do not want to loose the belt cover. A friend told me about an idler pulley that mounted in a different location than the typical units. Supposed to be a KB or Whipple and you can keep your factory belt cover. I've looked on their web sites but I don't see...

    basic pulley question

    I want to go with a 2.93 and have a few questions. 1. if I go with a no-slip, I not need an idler pulley, nor a smaller belt, correcct? 2. who makes a no-slip 2.93, non-interchange pulley? 3. I will get this dyno tuned and figure a SAFE afr to be 11.5 - 11.8 and 19 degrees of timing...

    Opinions needed on Garage Floor Epoxy / Paint

    I want to paint my garage floor and I will need enough for about 1,200 sq ft. I painted a garage once using some water based stuff from wal-mart and it had a big problem w/ hot tire pick up (eventhough it claimed to "resist" that). I've heard that the kit you can buy at home depot works well...

    LM-1 RPM using "Test" cable underhood

    I found this link and tried to hook my LM-1 up with the RPM converter and laptop : http://www.chicagosvt.com/forums/showthread.php3?t=5288 I can't seem to get a clean signal from this test cable. The RPMs seem okay at idle but holding the engine steady at about 1,200 shows the RPMs going...

    LM-1 serial cable needed

    In my last move I misplaced my LM-1 serial cable that is used to hook the LM-1 to a PC. I can buy one from Innovate for $13 plus S&H but wondered if anyone knew if Radio Shack or someplace else would also have this. Don't really care about saving a dollar but it will take about 6 days to get one...
