    CPO Warranty, Transferable?

    Does anyone know the details of how to transfer the CPO warranty from one owner to another? I can't seem to find information in the warranty documentation itself.

    Gauging Interest: Torch Red '03 10th

    I may be forced to sell the Cobra in the near future to cover some school expenses. The interior of the car is perfectly clean, with original Cobra mats. There is a small paint scratch on the roof that was present when I bought the car, only noticeable in direct sunlight from certain angles very...

    Looking for help... damaged catback

    Well, I leant my Cobra to my father in exchange for his IS350 for a couple days (seemed like fair colateral), and he don't ya know it, he went and backed it up over a rock. Fortunately enough, the damage is highly minimal. Basically, even the exhaust tip is undamaged. However, the Mandrel...

    Couple of interesting runs tonight

    Found my first fast SRT-4! He came up to me on the empty Southern State, and shot a rev, so I figured why not give it a go. When I downshifted, he immediately hit it, and pulled about half a car. I slowly inched back up on him, had about a car on him, if that in the 130-140 range. Chatted wtih...

    God damn Goodyears...

    ANOTHER flat F1. ANOTHER one. This makes it 3, including one blow out at 35 MPH on smooth pavement. These are, bar none, the worst tires I've owned, by far. They grip worse than any other tire I've ever owned in the wet, do poorly in the straight line in the dry, and don't do all that well in...

    Steering Clunk, what to check?

    I'm having an ocasional "clunk" when the steering wheel is turned from the center position. Happens more often going up hills. Checked the fluid levels, and the CV joints. Everything checks out on a visual inspection. Any ideas before I take her into the stealership?

    EXTREME Difficulty with X-Pipe Install

    Looks easy enough, figured it'd take an hour or two... until it came to removing the exhaust manifold bolts. The driver's side bolts took about two hours of work, 8+applications of rust-cutter, and much pain, sweating, and cursing by two guys... I have NEVER in my life spent so much time taking...

    Looking for mod friendly dealer in NJ

    I have a strange "clunk!" in my front end when I turn the steering off center after being centered for an extended period of time. Would I have anything to worry about if I brought my car into a Ford dealer with...say... an FIPK, CB, and an O/R X-pipe. If that would be a problem, does anyone...

    Considering doing pistons before upping boost...

    I've been reading a lot about about motors going pop because of the non-existant PTW clearance on greater than stock boost. What would be my best bet in terms of pistons for stock bore? I'd be completely comfortable throwing them in myself, and I'd much rather spend 600 bucks on pistons than a...

    Question on drug paraphernalia laws in PA

    I'm going to school out in Pennsylvania (Allentown), and recently purchased a hookah. I don't smoke any drug of any sort, nor would I allow it to be used to smoke drugs. The only thing that would ever touch the bowl would be nargila (flavored tobacco). Does anyone know if there are any laws...

    Buyer beware....

    http://forums.swedespeed.com/zerothread?id=44562&page=2 Used to drive an S60R, so I keep up on this stuff. This place "Alamo Autosports" sells parts for cars other that Volvos, so I thought I'd bring it to people's attention. No 'stang parts, but they do sell parts for other ford cars, and...

    So, my ignition is toasted

    Brought my car in today to have my misfire diagnosed. Coil on #5 is shot, and there's a fundamental issue with my ignition system causing general "Catastrophic" misfire. ????? Anyone have ANY idea what might have blown my car up. I bought it CPO a couple weeks ago. No lightning strikes or...

    Newb question

    Got my Cobra grill emblem. How do I put the bastard on! I have NO idea what I'm supposed to use to take of the screws that are in there. They're like a Hex, but the raised thing in the middle makes it impossible to fit a hex wrench in there.

    4k mod budget, what are your thoughts?

    I'm thinking ported eaton, clutch, LDC Cooling Mod, Fluidyne Rad, Evans Coolant, 60lb injectors, 2.8 upper, 4lb lower, Nittos, BF IRS Brace, FIPK, Stingers, and obviously dyno tuning. Does that sound reasonable? I really don't think I can afford spending more than 4-5k, which looks like it...

    I think I might have a problem...

    I picked up a CPO '03 Cobra almost two weeks ago, and I've been loving it. However, recently it's developed a troublesome issue. It seems to be mis-firing. Between 1,500 and 4,500-5,000rpms, there's some serious roughness/hesitation, especially at WOT or close to it. It feels as though the...

    Strange engine roughness

    Between 2k and 4.5k, in gears 2 and up, I'm getting some very strange roughness. This was not appearent when I first bought the car. It kinda feels like it's hiccuping, or missfiring. Like it hesitates for a tiny fraction of a second every few hundred RPMs. This is ONLY between 2k and 4.5k...

    Questions on KB install

    I'm aiming for about 500whp in my '03, I'm thinking of just making it easy on myself and bolting on a KB+Suppoting mods along with some cooling mods. It looks like it wouldn't be that much more expensive than getting 500 wheel on the eaton. My question is, how easy is the KB to install? Is it...

    '03 Cobra "vs" Pontiac Grand Am vs Cop

    People just don't get it. It's a 12 second car, so no, I'm not going to race you in your 10 year old 4 door with a low output 6 cylinder.... I'm driving along in the Cobra last night, and an ANCIENT Grand Am full of 16-17 year old kids pulls up next to me. The guy start revving at me. I make...

    Looking for a good tuner in my area...

    I'm in Northern NJ, and will be doing bolt-ons/pulley on my new Terminator shortly. I like doing things right, so I want to have the car dyno-tuned, but I don't know of any nearby tuners that have experience with Cobras. I'm more than willing to drive a few hours, but I'd rather not go halfway...

    Picking up my Cobra today!

    Finally found the right car. Red '03 10th Anniv Edition. CPO from an SVT dealer with 14k and change. The condition this car was in was just head and shoulders above every Terminator I've looked at before this. Looks and feels like it's brand new! For all those still looking, keep up the...

    Buyer beware....

    Went to test drive the yellow Terminator I've been looking at today. Everything was perfect, other than the car had obviously been BEAT to shit mechanically by the previous owners. As soon as I got in, I noticed "Objects in mirror are loosing." sticker. "Oh cool," I thought, "This person was...
