It really did, I feel like I always get lucky on Ebay

She's pretty much perfect now, I just wish I had the Shelby1000 hood lol. Yes sir, I got him to do 800 shipped, apparently he had a widebody, holeshot package Super snake, he sold it. So he didn't need the splitter. I couldn't pass on the deal

All is right in the world again

I've always used motul 600 fluid. https://www.revanracing.com/products/copy-of-motul-rbf-600-brake-fluid.html

I'm one of the guys that works on stuff like that lol. I've been working for Lexus as a technician for over 16 years now. I'm hybrid certified. When we had the early hybrid stuff like the Lexus RX400H, it was honestly pretty easy. Our new hybrid vehicles aren't as crazy complicated as they look...

9k for an engine with no MMR parts https://www.teamjdm.com/5-4l-4v-gt500-iron-shortblock-1200-hp-2007-2010-gt500-built-by-jdm/

Looks awesome

Closest I'll get to owning a sonic blue terminator lol.

Do you already have a built short block?

I would recommend you send your engine to JDM engineering and have them install the parts. Either way, it'll be pricey. I paid around 18k for my engine with upgraded cams and all valve train components. If you don't want upgraded cams, that will save you a good amount.

You can do what I did and do the JDM engineering upgraded rods and pistons https://www.svtperformance.com/threads/built-engine-time.1196498/ https://www.teamjdm.com/2013-2014-gt500-5-8l-aluminum-shortblock-1200-hp-rebuild-kit/

I went 2015, 16 and 17. It was a blast.

I still wish it was back at Knotts. Oh well

I'd borescope that cylinder and see what's going on in there.

3.73s doesn't make the car work harder, if anything it makes it easier on everything. 3.08s would be a different story. What all do you have done to the car? What fuel are you using? Sounds like your tuner didn't know what he was doing if you "nuked a piston"

That's kinda how felt, it would be cheaper for me to drive to Vegas and pick it up in person

I came close, but i couldn't justify the 1,100 for one right now. Maybe next time lol.

Do you have both sets of keys? If one key is registered as a valet key it won't show certain things for track apps, does your launch control work?

About time, just hope they get the exhaust note right, hopefully it sounds like it has Borla Stingers lol

If the 99/01 cobras take a specific thermostat I would replace that as well while I'm in there with the correct one. I know the GT500s take a special thermostat and you'll have issues if you don't use the right one.

I'd love one, just not willing to pay the stupid prices people want for them

I obviously can't guarantee it'll fix it, but it's what I would start with

If a vehicle overheats when driving it's almost always an airflow issue or clogged radiator issue, unless of course the engine is hurt. But you have already ruled that out. I would pull the radiator out and inspect it.

I would almost suspect the radiator as the problem, or it's an air flow issue. Especially if it happens while driving. I don't know how much a new radiator is, but I'd replace it if it's affordable

Does car over heat while driving at normal speeds? Or just at a stop lights/low speed driving? If it over heats at stop lights or low speed driving I'd invest in a better cooling fan setup or see if the front of the radiator is not getting good air flow. Does the car still have the OEM radiator...
