ended up with these in a trade for my old Cobra reps... i don't need Mach 1 wheels for anything.
four factory Mach 1 wheels in decent condition. read: minor wear from normal use. the wheels have some fairly decent tires on them and are being included at no extra charge.
two Riken 245/45...
EDIT: I'm keeping it, the blower is no longer for sale.
for sale: brand new VMP 2.3L TVS for '03-'04 Cobra
*3.0" pulley
*Accufab/LFP/Billeflow elbow
my plan was to "go bigger"... plans change. as it stands i'm selling the TVS for some extra cash toward a Harley.
the blower has only...
i've read the "how to" on the '01 to '03 swap, got it!
guy with an '01 is willing to swap me his tails before trading the car in.
if i'm working with a stock '03 and a stock '01, what's the best method to "swap" the tails?
my main concern is getting the '03 lights in the '01 so he can...
driving into work mmob, i look in the mirror and see a catfish closing fast. it doesn't strike me as odd though based on my normal drive in, lots of people speed. normally i travel 5mph over posted and today is no different. he's not "tailgating" so i figure he's really just late of something...
***this is a hunting video
***if you don't like hunting stuff, don't watch the video
a few months back i accompanied a buddy of mine on a gator hunt. it was a great time with good friends and the worlds best gator guide, Joe!
(not seen in the video: 7' gator was on a hook under his tail...
bumped into a friend of a friend the other evening in his M5. great guy and after watching him on an Auto X track, one hell of a driver!!!
rumor has it he's beaten a ported Cobra before and i know for a fact he's smacked around a lot of other cars. didn't get a chance to ask about his mods...
the other week i managed to run into the "big dog" Civic in my area. we've been trying to get together for a few weeks and never seem to work it out. ALL of the local import guys wanted me to line up with this car, as he is the only one they say had a chance against the Cobra.
looking at the...
03 Cobra on Post Office wall.... C6 & a G victimized
after driving 300+ miles today and stalking a few would be contenders, i get two kills in the last 30 minutes. (of note, i tried to play with a C63 AMG... he wasn't interested)

windows down, enjoying the beautiful weather, minding my own business. suddenly, like a stalking ninja, this silver Evo X appears out of nowhere!
we're in a fair amount of traffic when he manages to merge in just ahead of me. almost immediately he gives it a short stab, i'm guessing to see if...
sitting at a light on saturday evening i see a red G8 pull out of a side street and start down the road in the direction i was headed. G8 GT driver must have noticed the "Mustang" at the light and clearly took his time and waited for me.
not wanting to disappoint my fellow motorist, i made...
having just finished up a rather brutal mountain bike ride my buddy Badger and i went to grab some chow. it was decided that we would take the Cobra... because Friday night.
cleaned up, bellies full and completely recharged, we were looking for something to get into. given the general lack of...
as i'm leaving one of my favorite eateries this evening i rev the Cobra up a bit when passing by. the door guy is a car guy and more over, a Cobro. little rev, thumbs up, all is well.... sorta.
what i didn't notice was the SRT-4 pulling out of a parking lot near by. small red car, nothing to...
edit: really an "extended warranty"
seriously, the ZL1 just can't get a break!

enjoying nice weather and a clean car, i spent most of my evening cruising.
in my trek i came across no less than 6 Corvettes!!! a C4 and C6 together, separately two C6Z's, then a C5 with a GT1 C6Z06 (had to look that one up... nothing special :bored: )
unfortunately, not a single one was...
running errands in the Cobra on my day off... what could be better? KILLING a Camaro, that's what!!!
catching a light behind the silver SS didn't really bother me as the local 'maro guys don't seem to be game for spirited driving sessions. as we turn onto the next street the unlikely happens...
normally i only race mini-vans, hybrids and suv's but the BMW was too tempting for me to pass up.
from a stop light i see a Lexis is300 and nice looking BMW pull onto the road up ahead. light turns green and the chase is on, i wanted to catch them before the last city light. thanks to some...
caught up to a TDI Jetta messing with a BMW (135 maybe?) yesterday. i know, i know... clubbing baby seals and all but whatever.
the two cars were seemingly having a good time playing at a few lights while moving towards the edge of town. took me a few lights to catch 'em but i pulled it off...
working late on saturday i decided to run out and grab something to eat. almost as soon as i hit the main 4 lane road i notice a rather stock-ish looking black 3rd gen Integra weaving through the light traffic. for what ever reason when he gets beside me he guns it a bit and pulls ahead. i catch...
thanks to my Jeep doing what Jeeps do best, i had to drive the Cobra to work this morning. Ford saves the day again. (side note: Cobra runs like a mother in sub 10* weather)
after the cold weather mechanical issues i decided to grab some hot chow on the way to work. hitting a BK i'm familiar...
looking to pick up just the flexible section that connects the shaker to the heat shield / air box.
i know someone has one of these things just taking up space in the garage. shoot me a fair price and let me get it out of your way.
shipping would be to 22802.
really?
wife and i just left the movies and were headed home,
taking it easy. approaching a two lane left turn at a
light, i take the outside as there was a Cherokee in
the left lane (regular late 90's XJ Cherokee).
rolling up, the light turns green and we continue on in
second. the...
replacement / second unit looks better than the first but still has a few imperfections.
what should be considered "acceptable" on a NEW H/E?
am i just being unrealistically picky or should i expect the NEW H/E to arrive in perfect shape?
i'm aware of what it'll look like after i run through...
the BMW that shouldn't be... (now with more rice)
long story short:
(more rice added further down)
coming through the city yesterday i picked up a white car in my mirror that was doing the shuck and jive trying to get through traffic behind me.
he rolled up rather fast as we were...
been a few years since i've had a Mustang...
last one was an '03 GT... 98 in a 65 (clocked me while i was slowing for my exit ;-) ), sold the car to stay out of trouble.
just picked up an '03 Cobra with 40K on the clock. a few minor bolt on mods came with the package and more will be going...
