OK, blew the engine at the track last week, Sebring, FL. So, engine is out, what are the recommended mods I should do while the engine and tranny are out.......... Current mods: Cooling: LDC head cooling mod, Evans Cooling mod w/oil cooler, LFP Heat exchanger and radiator. Power: 2.81...

Great track day at Sebring with ChinMotorsports with my 03 Coupe............however........ My rear seat caught fire, burned all the way through the foam to the suede. Anyone experienced this at the track? I'll now run with it out, but could this be from just a hot muffler? Weird. Any...

Ok, I know that I am running a pullied car (14psi) on hot tracks, but is there a fix for this overheating problem yet? Current cooling set-up and practices: Fluidyne Raditor and H/E Run only water wetter and water Hood vent mod Run heater full blast Head cooling mod Perform a coolant...

Does Hypertech make a 180 degree thermostat for our cars? If so where do I get one? I tried many searches, with no luck. All I could find was a 160. Are there any other quality brands that sell a 180/170? Thanks!

So, I'm running the Hawk HPS+ on front and rear. I also have the SS brake lines, cooling ducts, and high temp ATE brake fluid. I love the way these Hawks grab.......BUT they are tearing up my stock Brembo rotors. I can usually only get a set of the Brembo rotors to last for 2 track days...

The differential cooler was a little harder to accomplish than I expected, but I was probably a little under prepared too. Here’s a list of some of the items I used. Mocal Oil Pump ($175, Racer Parts Wholesale) Econo-Cool 8” x 11” heat exchanger ($70, RPW) ~11’ of -8 SS braided line ($55...

I'm trying to remove the rear diffrential cover to drill and tap the holes for a differential cooler, but I really don't want to remove the entire diff. Is there a way to pull off just the cover without removing the driveshaft and diff?

2004 Cobra for sale for the serious racers out there. All I can say about this one is AWESOME!! http://sccaforums.com/forums/thread/170759.aspx

I am thinking about making my own diff cooler (out of my old stock heat exchanger). Does anyone have pictures of this? Mounting locations? Where good places are to drill holes in diff cover for pump lines? I did a search, but found no pics. Anyone? Thanks.

I just got back from a track day at Sebring, and my diff slowly leaks fluid after a hard run. I'm assuming it is from fluid expansion due to heat. Does anyone run a differential cooler? If so, what is a good brand/price/place to buy? Also, any other 'must' cooling mods to do for open track...

So I finally got around to installing Stainless Steel Brake lines on the front and back. And I also put in some Russell speed bleeders. Now no mater how long I bleed the brakes I get air coming out. I have even taken off the speed bleeders and have done it the traditional 2 man method. And...

I've done a seach everywhere I can think of. Who sells the braided stainless steel brake lines for the rear? I see a bunch for the front (tirerack, maximum motorsports, jegs, etc.). I don't see the point in just doing the fronts since now you will still get flex in the lines in the rear...

I went to the track for the first time after my pulley change....and was VERY dissapointed (also I have Nitto DRs)..... 60'.....2.093 1/8.....8.934 @ 83.84mph 1/4.....13.521 @ 108.95mph I ran a 13.1 on street tires before the pulley/tune at 109mph!! What is the deal? :shrug: I did...

I am currently running the new Nitto 555RII track competiton tires. I put the 275-40-R17's all around on the stock '03 Cobra rims. My car is also lowered 1.5" with H&R Springs. After one track session at Sebring, I noticed some SERIOUS tire rubbing up front. So much that the tires ate...

Ok, currently I have just a K&N filter in the stock airbox. Is there any good reason to upgrade to the K&N FIPK?? Would I get any HP gain? Is it worth the $170? I don't wan't one of the inner fender ones, I tried that already and the car didn't like it (stalls). Any help would be...

Almost everytime I get on the throttle, the car's responce drags by a few seconds. What I mean is that I hit the gas and I usually hear the blower spin up, but the RPMs and power don't change at all. Then as I continue to hold the gas pedal down the motor finally catches up and the power is...

Has anyone had luck with pedal covers to help with heel-toe shifting in our cars?? I've looked at the Steeda and Mac covers, but I don't know of anyone who has them. What do you think?

I just put a set of Hawk HPS pads on my car. I broke them in properly and have been driving on them today. I noticed a burning smell and went to look at the rotors....the rear rotors were a purple color and REALLY hot. The front pads/rotors are fine. I took the rear pads off and noticed...

I am really trying to get this heel/toe shifting process down for track events. I have pretty small feet and was wondering if there was a way on our cars to adjust the height of our gas or break pedals?? Has anyone tried this?

I am looking into getting some CHEAP 16" rims for the rear to use only at the drag strip. I don't care what they look like. Does anyone know what size will fit our cars (width, backspacing, etc.)?? Also, where to buy them?? I am planning to put on some ET Streets, but I don't know what...

Hey guys, I am trying to decide what pulley size to put on my car. I have heard rumors that your gas millage really suffers with a 2.8 or 2.93 pulley with a new tuning job. Is this true? My car is a daily driver, and I get between 18-19mpg now without me stomping on the gas all the...

Hey all! I'm looking to get some better starting times at the strip. My Cobra is a daily driver, so I have street tires on my stock rims now. I just plan on swapping out the rears for trips to the strip. Does anyone know of any good places to get some 'not too expensive' drag rims? I want...

I've started to install the MM Caster/Camber plates and can't figure out whether or not to use the MM bump stops. The car has the OEM Bilsteins, and on the instructions for installing the plates it says not us use the MM bumpstops or factory dust boot with Bilstein Struts. Do you still remove...

Hey, I've owned my '03 Cobra for about 5 months now. About every oil change, 4-5,000 miles (I use Mobile 1 Synthetic), my car is low about 2 quarts of oil!! Is this normal? Anyone had this problem with theirs? The Ford Dealership says 1 quart per oil change is "normal". I'm not sure if I...
