Time for a new clutch for a mildly modded, mostly street-driven Cobra. Car does see some road course work (200 tread wear), occasional hole shots, and very infrequent trips to the dragstrip on street tires (no drag radials). Should be a straightforward (single disc) clutch replacement unless I...

Where's the best place to get 13" blanks at a reasonable price? A handful of the guys I race with use cheap auto parts store rotors, but I don't think they lasted very long. And I thought I'd read somewhere that some of the parts store rotors were thinner. I love the idea of FTBR's 2-piece...

I'm looking to go racing this weekend so hopefully you guys can help me out with a couple quick questions: 1. Are Sealed Power lifters (by Federal Mogul) are good? It's all I could find locally. I was told these are rebranded Mellings (which I don't know if they are decent either) 2. I got...

So I've had noise coming from the LCA since I've gotten the car. After some investigating with the help of the LCA manufacturer, it was determined that the bolts and associated holes in the chassis are stock 12mm (94-98) while the LCA bushing & bearing sleeves are 14mm ('99 and up). Being that...

I'll be looking to sell these locally and have no idea what the market is for these: - 2.5" dia tubing for over axle - 3" slash cut polished tips They are brand new; never installed, with no blemishes. Mufflers would not be included. Searches on a couple forums didn't help as they were...

What's the size/pitch/length of the bolt or connector for the A-pillar trim piece?

Are there any quick ways to identify if a car has a TKO or a T5? Specifically, can I tell by jacking up the car and looking ?

Just curious if anyone has any data on Millers Racing Oils? From the limited research I've done (~5min), it seems they are more well known in Europe and popular with BTCC and WRC. I personally have never heard of them. The price is pretty steep, but with NASA naming them "Official Lubricant...

Any ideas on how to modify the trunk release from the electric solenoid to mechanical with out too much modification? Here's my issue - I'm running a fuel cell in my race car but still have to unlock the trunk with the key.....extremely annoying when I have limited time between sessions to...

This winter, I've been slowly collecting all the required safety gear in my hopes to eventually run NASA CMC. The season will probably start before I get a car. If that's the case, I'll run the Cobra a while longer on Toyo RRs as it's the required tire for CMC. So a couple questions for the...

I’m looking at jumping into a CMC prepped Mustang GT and trying to get a feel for the associated costs compared to running my current 97 Cobra in HPDE. Obviously there’s a greater risk of body contact, etc but from a consumables standpoint, I‘m thinking there wouldn’t be a big difference...

Well, I think I'm ready to move up from HPDE so I'm looking for some honest assessments from the SVTP track crew. I'm trying to decide on which NASA series I want to run in. I'm on a fairly tight budget and do not have a tow vehicle and trailer yet. I'll most likely get a cheap open...

I've been using Hawk Blues up front and HP+ in the rear. As I've stated in other posts, I seem to be really front biased as I've done probably 8 track weekends on the rears while the fronts only last 2-3 based on which tracks I run. First off, is this normal? Second, I'm now about due...

I'll be putting on some used NT01s for my next track day and the plan is to aim for 38psi and adjust from there. This'll be my first time on the 01s, coming from the NT05s. I know that tire temps should be taken to determine the correct amount of camber and tire pressure but at this point I...

Like new 1994-1998 Mustang Cobra Fog Light Adapters from Quantum/Lambert Bought for $75, I'll sell for $50 plus S&H See pics for details -

Are there any companies out there that sell any extended handles? I can't locate an A47 or Steeda Comfort shifter handle. I may try to see if I can have a friend make one. Does anyone have any measurements? I'd want to get fairly close to those without making a bunch of test fits. grazie

I've recently been contemplating adding a roll bar in my car as this would allow me a secure method for adding a harness and race seat. I've discussed a custom set-up with a couple local builders and this is the route I'll probably go, which will definitely prohibit any possibility of having a...

This weekend at the track I had to pull off due to a metal rod thinger-dinger (highly technical term) hanging off the car. In the pits, I saw that it was a hollow rod that runs between the two boots on the steering rack. Someone mentioned that it was used to equalize air pressure between the...

Just a quick question on whether it's okay to mix & match pad brands (front-to-rear). I've got new Hawk HP+ in the rear so i don't need/want to change them out. Should I stick with Hawks up front or is it okay to try a different brand? If it's fine, what would be a good choice for...

I’m looking at getting the following: Moser 1541H (A882852) 28-spline axles $275 Summit ARP 100-7703 Wheel Studs $26 Summit Moser (9563) axle bearings $30 Summit 3/4” hex, open ended Lug Nuts $30 Maximum Motorsports ABS Reluctor Ring $70 LMR Am I missing anything? Any better places to...

So, getting ready for HPDE on the 14th but failed tech. The front right tire moved back and forth a bit as they shook it so they stated it was due to the inner tie rod being loose. I suspect the 15yr old part combined with multiple track days, intermediate tires, and grippier brakes...

I can't seem to find any pics of SN95s with TSWs - - Could someone please photoshop some TSW Valencias on a Rio Red 96-98 Cobra? Thanks

Is this okay? Heat checking? It's on both drivers & pass rotors following a couple track days with HP+ pads. It's pretty narrow - the pads are wider than the ring you see in the pic. I didn't really notice it until lately so I don't know if it was from last season or just recently as...

I'm having a more difficult time than I anticipated picking rims for Rio Red. I've been through more pic threads than I can count. Seems to me (maybe because I'll be spending the money) that this color is hard to pick out a rim for. Besides going back & forth on 17" vs 18" (tire/rim price...

Anyone know how much a used Jacobs mileage master runs? Looking to clear some stuff out of the garage
