    Any contractors here? Garage Ceiling question.

    I'm in the process of having a house built with a builder (Castle Rock Homes). They aren't a custom home builder. My Garage ceiling is 9ft according to plan and will be a 3 car garage. The 3rd bay is tacked on to the side of the house and the roof basically goes into the side of the house...

    Suggestions on welder for first timer?

    I'm really wanting to learn how to weld as it seems to be a skill that could prove to be helpful long term. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good welder for a beginner? I'm mainly wanting to make sure I can weld exhaust pipe and make my own custom brackets for some of my other hobbies...

    What are my options with getting my car inspected and registration renewed after it's been down for a long period of time? Back story - I've owned the car since 1998 and it's been insured and registered ever since. Car is still insured as well even though it's not being driven. Last...

    Picking up a drive on lift, any must have accessories?

    I'm picking up a 4 post drive on lift Sat. It's used (I know the owner) but basically brand new. He just used it in his garage to store one of his high end show cars on it and park another under it. He's getting out of the hobby and is purging his garage so I'm picking up the lift. The lift...

    FS - JLT RAI (almost new)

    Traded in my 04 Cobra over the weekend and I pulled this off before taking it to the dealership. It has aprox 500 miles on it and is basically new. I pulled the CARB sticker off the MAF as well so you could apply it to yours if needed in your region. I want to say I paid $280 after shipping...

    Traded in my MC Cobra

    It was a tough decision to make but my wife and I decided to trade in our 04 MC over the weekend. We just had to many "play" toys and needed another more practical vehicle with our 2 young kids. We only put about 1500 miles on it in the last 2 years so hopefully the next owner will get more...

    TMI Mystichrome Convertable seat covers - Brand new

    ****sold**** Traded in my 04 cobra over the weekend so I no longer need the spare set of seat covers that I got from TMI when they got some of the factory MC leather. To my knowledge these are sold out now. This is a set for a convertible. I'm not sure what is different between coupe and...

    Center shifter bezel with Mystichrome boot

    Traded in my 04 cobra over the weekend and I swapped this out with my spare thinking that another MC owner may want this. To my knowledge their are maybe 5-10 of these made by TMI with some of the spare factory MC leather they acquired. I had this made for me when I got a set of seat covers...

    Traded in my 04 Cobra over the weekend so have some performance parts that I swapped out that I no longer need. Shifter has maybe 500 miles on it and comes with the comfort handle and the standard handle. I cut some of the threads off the comfort handle to allow my aftermarket shift knob to...

    Thoughts on low RPM hesitation and rough idle?

    Recently I've noticed a couple of things with my 04 (with 29K miles). - First start after sitting a couple of days takes more cranking than it used to. Almost like it needs to prime the fuel system. - At idle, it has a slight lope to it. I use rough in the title but it's hard to really...

    Is this a bad tire?

    Lately I've been fighting an alignment problem. My car has always pulled to the left even after multiple alignment shops said things were straight (04). Wasn't real bad but noticeable. I recently replaced the entire suspension on the car with all new polly bushings, shocks/struts, ball...

    WTB Cobra front passenger control arm

    To make a long story short, I bought a replacement from LMR and it turns out the ball joint locations are different. Didnt find this out until after I swapped in my poly bushings and steeda ball joint and installed it. Need to find one for an 03 or 04 cobra now as the caster is crazy off...

    Finally driving like a Cobra should

    It's been a long process but I took my car for it's first drive in nearly 3 months after rebuilding the suspension. I was really surprised how big of a difference it made on such a low milage car (28K miles). Going through it both my front ball joints were lose, the driver front bearing had...

    Wide (left/right) turn confirmation.

    After my most recent ride along with my local PD the officer I rode with pulled over a car turning out of a parking lot (3am) onto a 3 lane access road. The driver turned into the middle lane and the officer pulled him over for a "wide right turn" since he didn't turn into the right most lane...

    Any suspenion items that I should do next?

    I've been tackling the rebuild of my suspension in preparation of adding some more HP to the car. I did the IRS already and am doing the front this weekend. Curious if their is anything I've missed that I should replace while I'm at it. My list so far: - MM Full length Sub Frame connectors -...

    Front control arm bushing replacement, any tips?

    I finished the rear a couple weeks ago so it's now time to tackle the fronts. I had such a hard time with getting the rear rubber bushings out I went ahead and bit the bullet and bought a 20 Ton press and 19 Piece Auto Bushing and Bearing Driver set to go with the press. Any tips that I should...

    Hydraulic Shop Press for home

    After tackling the IRS bushings last weekend and still needing to tackle the front I've been serious considering just picking up a press. I don't need one to often but I do find times where one would be useful periodically. Since it's not an every day use type of thing I was thinking about...

    IRS re-install help. Any tips?

    Just finished replacing all the bushing in the IRS. That was a lot hard than I thought it would be (mainly getting the rubber ones out). I've now got the IRS under the car and am trying to jack it back into place. No matter what I do I can't seem to get things lined up though. Been at this...

    Anyone have the QuickJack lift?

    If so I'm wondering how you like it. This is what I'm looking at https://www.quickjack.com/car-lift-systems/bl-5000slx-portable-car-lift.html Main selling point for me is that it's portable so I can move it out if the way when I'm done. Would love a proper lift but I don't have space for...

    Need new heads - Trick flow or ported stockers?

    I've been doing some research on these and it seems like nothing ever pops up on them that's newer than 2011 and all the threads I find are arguments over numbers. How well does the head and cam kit perform now that (hopefully) more people have them on their car. I'm not looking for a street...

    To all Officers of the law - Thank you

    With all the police hate being shed currently in the media it got me to thinking. Every time I see a military person I take the time to thank them for their service and have been known on occasion to cover their meal if they were in line next to me but I've never done the same for my local...

    Why's it always gotta be the GT....

    So, last night I'm on my way home from a soccer game (11pm) minding my own business with the top down and the radio going. While cruising down this Mexican toll road I pass this 02 WS6 trans am. Car looked nice but sounded really bad as he was either running open headers or had cut his...

    Keep 02 GT or sell for a _____.

    I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum for this but I didn't want to post in a forum specific to the car I have now or what I'm looking to buy as I figured it would be quite skewed on the feedback. Thinking this would give me a more rounded audience. I have a (paid off) 02 GT convert that...
