I live in NY. My insurance company, Travelers rapes me each year with large insurance increases and I have have had enough. I can save about $200 by switching to Geico. My question is for those who have Geico, have they increased you and how often? Also are there any insurance companies that...

Got the left head swapped on a 2002 engine build. The good news is the left runs perfect. The problem is now I hear the right ticking, albeit not nearly as bad. This tells me that the casting for the left and the right must have been the same and the right is probably not ticking as loud...

I got the left head fixed on my 2002 engine for the tick. The good news is that there is no tick whatsoever on the left head. But now that the left is fixed I can hear the right tick. It is very faint and I can hardly hear it. What this tells me is that casting on both heads were bad and it...

I picked up my car today. It was in to get the left head replaced for the tick. Well the good news so far the tick is gone. Also, the diesel clanging sound when the car is started cold is gone too. But the car is running rough now. The engine is visibly shaking during idle, and riding in...

Now that production is over, it is time to reflect a little. What I find amazing is how many Ford made when the car was supposed to be a limited production vehicle. Then after making 20,000 of them, Ford still could not fix the tick, and nobody knows for sure what is causing it. And you would...

I am about to get the left head replaced to fix the ticking problem. The dealer says this is a big job and takes a long time. I was told the engine has to be pulled. Does anyone know how long it takes?

Wonder why there has been little said about the gear lag this car has. I recently read a review in a popular magazine, and it pointed it out. Now I understand why it sucks driving it slow, especially in stop and go traffic.

I brought my car in for the ticking. I was told the ticking is from fuel injectors. I then told him it is happening only when the engine gets hot. He told it is happening because the seals get hot and it is normal. He said there is nothing wrong with the car. Does this make sense to anyone?

OK I read all the threads about the tick. Everyone seems to agree it is a problem and SVT says it is not. My question is has any proved that the tick has damaged their engine such as finding wear, metal scrapings, engine failure etc. Thanks.

I was wondering if anyone has had the heads replaced in the last month to fix the ticking? I have a 2002 build date, and I am wondering if Ford will approve new heads. After getting them replaced was it worth doing it? I get sick to my stomach after hearing the tick everytime I drive it.

I was wondering if anyones engine failed as a direct result of the engine tick? Also how many miles should a ticking cobra engine last?

I am wondering if there is any reason Ford didn't put a hydraulic clutch in the Cobra. I don't know much about clutches, but why would they put a "standard" clutch in a car that has a modern DOHC engine. Is the clutch they put in the Cobra better our is it Ford being cheap? Does a Z06 have a...

I have owned my Cobra for a year and a half. I was a sap and paid over MSRP Oct 2002. I basically made a $36,000 mistake. I have 2,000 miles. My question is why with all of the problems with this car why do owners overlook all of the problems. For 35k we should be getting a top of the line...

Wondering if anyone knows where I can buy a bug deflector for an 03 Cobra. Starting to get hood chips, and I need a solution. I am not interested in the 3m plastic film though. I sent an email to UPRproducts.com requesting they make one.

Wondering if anyone can recommend a Ford dealership that specializes in mail order or internet orders. Some of the things I am looking for is good prices, knowledgable friendly service, ability to send fax of part catalog pages, good order execution. Thanks.

Does anyone see any issues by going to a non ford svt dealership for maintenance on my cobra? I have not been happy with the two svt dealerships near me.

My hydraulic jack is too high to go underneath the car. I was wondering what Cobra users are using out there to jack up the car. I am looking for something lightweight and raises the car with only a few pumps. Any suggestions?

I am trying to remove the two plastic clips that hold the cargo net up in the back of the trunk. The problem is when I try to twist and pull them off and they don't come off. If I twist any harder it seems they would break. Does anyone know how to remove them? I am trying to remove the side...
