I've gotten to the point where I just hate the car because of the crappy crystal white paint flaking issue. I started to DD it this year, and the paint shortly after begun flaking. Its flaking on the edges of the roof now, behind the license plate frame area, the inside of the gas tank lid, the...

Flashback to Saturday night: A few ricers with Hondas were saying they were mustang killers at a local car meet. They claimed this motor swapped (either K20 or H22, can't recall) Integra was not fast but that it never loses, whatever that means haha. The SVO in the group decided to test the...

I was leaving a summer college class when out of one of the exits from the college I saw a nice black trans am with no window tint. I didn't think much of it but I saw he made the right hand turn to go in the same direction as me when next thing I know he's going for a fly by (nose end was up...

Coyote vs Cobra: Heading out to the last drift/drag event of the season for Firebird raceway in Mexico, I spotted a gold (idk the actual color name) 2011-12? 5.0 merging onto the highway I was traveling on. In my head I wondered how bad I'd get handled by one. I continued to drive along when...

:fm:As the title states, I'm having traction issues still. I had posted a thread about upper control arms a bit ago and was advised to check the pinion angle. Well I did some research on the subject and now I understand it a little better. Well to test that theory I decided to throw the stock...

Would it be a bad idea to have brand X lower control arms than install brand Y upper control arms? Would they oppose each other? I have Maximum Motorsports LCA's and am interested in either Steeda or Hotchkis uppers. The last 3 times I've gone to the track I had a horrible issue with...

Hey guys, I just purchased an aluminum DS. Now I'm wondering if I should keep it; kind of getting cold feet. Its still unopen new in the box. I bought it on a Monday, than that same Monday night I bought a daily driver toyota pick up. The pick up needs some tlc like new front windshield...

I recently lured my friend with an 05 STi into racing me, after a long time of asking for a race. Some Napolean style guerilla warfare lol. If anyone remembers we had tried to race a while back ago and it didn't go well as the the STi took off on the second honk. I promised a rematch and a...

I know this is kind of vague but over the years I think I've read more disapointing stories about supercharging an sn95 cobra and having an issue than cobras with superchargers still running strong. Is it just me? I'm in the middle of a huge decision, whether to buy a local SC for dirt cheap...

I need and want a new sound! Currently I have a magnaflow O/R X pipe with the stock catback but I want something new. A.) Either pick up Borla XR1 mufflers and weld them in? (will probably leave stock tips for years to come) OR B.) Get Magnaflow Magnapacks cat back? (new tails and all...

IMRC stuck OPEN. Any info on stuck OPEN? I have been researching IMRC issues for awhile now as I have been suspecting mine are stuck closed, because the car feels sluggish. I have revved the engine past 3250rpm from the engine bay to see if the imrc cables jump like they should (I have seen...

Sorry fellas this is a noob question and I don't have that much time to research it as there is a great deal on a vortech set up locally. The kit is said to be complete including longer belt, aftercooler, inlet piping, bracket etc... I've never dealt with forced induction so I'm not sure if...

This happened in Mexico, after leaving Home Depot a friend and I went to get some dinner at Sonic when we spotted an integra that did not appear to be riced out. We drove normally than realized he switched into the lane closest to us. I proceded to down shift and baited him. He didn't bite. But...

On Saturday a few of us car enthusiasts will be heading down to Tuscon, from the Chandler area, to cruise Mt. Lemmon. We will be in Tuscon at 1pm, but will be taking a little cruise up the Mount at around 5-6pm so it is not as hot out. I know this a little abrupt but I wasn't in the loop till...

Friendly race between a 97 Cobra and a 03 Mach 1, also an STi. After a car show me and two friends decided to do so some friendly runs. We didn't do any digs because I was running suminohooks at the time. Did some 50 rolls instead. Mach 1 left lane, STi middle lane, 97 Cobra right lane. 3 honks...

My suspension as of now is simple and consists of: Ford B springs tokico blue struts eibach pro damper shocks The ride is horrible, it's very bouncy (I think that's the eibach dampers fault). If I run over a sewage cover (not sure on the name of it), the front struts sound like they lose...

A kill and a death for my Cobra. First with the kill: First up the M3. Driving home from work (week ago) and an orangish M3 (custom paint job?) comes flying by me. Doesn't bite; can't just do a fly by and not race. So I just continue on my way and make a right, so does he. Follows me just...

I know this subject is beaten like a dead horse but I have a few more questions that I have found very different answers to. 1. Do I need the traction lock rebuild kit? My car has 63k miles on it, and it is a Cobra. AM states that the stock pieces on SVT cobra's are the same as the...

Does anybody run DR's in Arizona winter? Specifically in the valley (Chandler, Gilbert, Tempe, PHX, etc...). No snow involved. If so how do they hold up? I know traction is going to be less than when it is summer time, as DR's are usually rated for summer time only. And I see there is a tire...

Just as the title states what mods is it going to take to beat an HCI foxbody? How fast are these cars running? I know they're gonna make over 300rwhp on a good set up, and they are lighter than an sn95 cobra. There's a guy with an 89 fox that has hci and bolt ons, short shifter and who knows...

Does anybody know where I can get MSD super conductor 8.5mm spark plug wires in the Chandler, Gilbert, or maybe even Phx area? I need them asap! I'm burning gas like a mofo and have a slight misfire. I'm 100% sure it's the wires as they are the originals ,and have already tested them, on a 1997...

Hey everyone this is my first thread on here. I drive a 1997 Cobra with no mods besides Ford B springs and shocks. And well it's time to make some power. I have been searching around this forum and others. I'm not new to mustangs but I am pretty new to the 4v (owned this car for almost 4 months...
