I have recently replaced my Supercharger with a VMP TVS. You can look up my username, I have posted plenty of pics and updates on the SWAP OUT.
I now have my original Eaton for sale. This Blower has 45,000 miles on it. Probably with 42,000 of it with a 2.93 pulley on it. I have had zero...
Here is a short video of my first attempts of polishing my aluminum 2003 Cobra Door Sill Plates. Originally they were shiny when I bought them in 2003, but getting in and out of the car caused scratches and water spots.
I sanded them with a palm sander at 220 grit. Then I wet sanded them...
Sorry for the double post, but I am out shopping and need an answer if I can get one before heading home.
I feel like a fool asking this as it my be obvious to most.... What is the casing on the VMP TVS made of. I put a magnet to it, and first instinct is to say aluminum as it has seems to...
UPDATE *** Finally starting to add some power to my '03 RedFire
I decided to take the plunge and take my '03 Redfire and give her some power upgrades and pretty her up under the hood.
I was initially going to get my Eaton ported, but decided against it. I instead chose to go with VMP TVS...
FS: Metco 4lb interchangeable lower pulley kit - Never Mounted Never used
SOLD SOLD SOLD
I ordered this Kit two weeks ago when I was thinking of porting my blower. After reading all the bad stuff with Steg and Posi out of business, I decided against porting and bought a VMP TVS 2.3L...
I am doing a blower swap to a VMP 2.3L TVS. it is on its way. I have pulled the valve covers off, the intake off. I know I could have left the intake on, but it is so much easier to get the blower off, at least it was for me. Befor eI put it all back together, I wanted to replace the rear heater...
I made this short YouTube video for the forum over on palmerperformance. I am using their iPhone/iPad app in my car. The app itself works for me however it is too generic to get at the data most Terminator owners want to track.
Here is the link

Hey everyone.... Short story. I used to be a member here a long time ago, right after I bought my 2003 Terminator.
I ended up having to sell it, but I sold it to a mustang collector. He had a sonic blue Cobra, same year as mine, and he had a few older stands as well. I felt mine would go to a...
Hey everybody,
Not a regular poster here, but need some advice now, and I hope you can help me out.
I have gone through 2 warranty replaced rear ends, and two half shafts, one I replaced, one the factory replaced with one of the rear ends. Well, last night, I was chewing up rice mobiles...
Hey all,
If you recall, I was a victim of a hit and run couple months back...Anyway, the rear end was replaced due to a vibration, that only started after my fun filled ride thru the ditch....It was replaced by my favorite Ford mechanic, and he said it was an updraded rear end, i.e., some...
I've done a little reading about water and/or methanol injection into the manifold which MAY cool down intake charge temperatures.
Does it work?
Anyone doing it? If so, what system are you using?
I would assume with my 2.93 I would need to have it tuned again?

Hey Everybody,
I posted last week about a Whirring sound in the rear end. Seemed to go away with clutch pressed in. It finally got to the point where it was noticable with the clutch pressed in, but still not as loud as with it in gear. It became very loud, and vibration was wicked, all the...
Whir sound in drivetrain - Rear End - Plz take a look
Help!!! Since I can't search for this right now, I decided to post a question.
About two days ago, I started to noticed a "whirl" sound coming from somewhere in the drivetrain. When I press in the clutch, it goes away, when I coast in...
The guy who worked on my car was absolutley amazing. I believe him to be a master of his art. The paint match is excellent, and the price was more than fair. While he was into the car, we added some grill inserts as well, made them from from junk sheet metal laying around. We have some...
I drove it in the rain with nitto's on the rear!!!!! DOH!!!
I managed to keep my Cobra out of the rain since the day I bought it until last Friday. My other car was in the shop and I needed to pick my girl up at school, she was sick.....and after I wrecked I am so glad she was not faking...
A Very SVT Christmas…
Twas the night before Christmas and caught at the stop light,
Was two cops in their sport cars, oh what a sight.
Foster in his Mazda and me in that Cobra of mine,
Tonight an rx-8 I think I shall dine.
I will try, I will try, I will try with this Cobra motor...
I am selling the Predator as you can see my car didn't fair any better with a performance tune. I have had it about 2 weeks and am going to try to sell it fast or have them honor the return policy. Apparently my car was tuned very nicely from the factory, not running rich like most others...
Well...I brought my Redfire to No Limit Motorsports in Forest Park, Ga. to have it Dynoed for the first time on a Dynojet. There were a bunch of Cobras and 2v stangs getting dynoed and tuned. I had purchased Amazon Racings Pulley puller and billetflow idlers and a 2.93 pulley, and I also have...
I have had the Cobra for a little over 2 months now, and after running it through the Police Departments road coarse, I have decided that autocross is what I want to do with this car. We had 7 new rookies go threw EVOC the last two weeks and I showed up on the last day, Time trials. The...
I started getting the in dash Brake light coming on a few days back. I did a search of this board and found similar issues. It was either the E-brake switch or low fluid, those are the only way for it to come on.
I really didn't think there was a snowballs chance in hell it could be fluid...
Hey everbody, I was very dissapointed when I realized you all were right about the needles not glowing, I thought for sure it was just the rheostat turned down low. At night the gauges are useless.
I don't know why ford removed the lighting in the Cobra, I guess to save money. :(
Well...
I got my Predator today and read the manual and I have a question.
First off, I have limited knowledge of Modular engines. I am 38 and my last fast car was a 69 Ford Falcon with a 302 in it. No computer, no injectors, and if you wanted to change a/f you did it under the hood. So I am on a...
If anyone is interested in something like this, I will give you the details. I had a conversation with speedhut and was able to get them to make these up even though they didn't "officially" have gauges for the 03 Cobra....Not anymore.
More pics later
sorry for the bluriness, I was in a...
I just had to post these pics, as I am real happy with the way the paint color matched Cobra Redfire SO WELL!!!:-D.
Since I had the Hood blanket off for the Hood Shock install, I decided to do the hood mod too. Whoever said to make a template in another thread....That was the best advice to...
I work security for a local car wash in South Atlanta, just miles from Atlanta Motor Speedway. Well, Nopi nationals was/is here this weekend. I brought my '03 cobra up there and worked traffic in and out. I had a blast, expecially when people took photos of my stock Cobra over a riced out...
