Where does the Ultra Black RTV go exactly when reinstalling the valve covers on the 4.6? I've read where it meets the timing cover, to hold on to the plug seals, to hold on to the gasket itself during reinstall, but thought I'd ask to be sure.
Also if anyone has any updated pics or walkthrough...
So after going through two sets of brand new switches from Ford that tested out of range for two of the buttons. Per AlldataDIY and Mark on here, I have confirmed that I have the correct ohm ranges, which for the switch is a specific resistance +/- 10%. Here is a vid I made on how to test them...
Been thinking of getting a diff exhaust since I've had the same one for 10 years now. I had someone offer $600 a few years ago and was wondering if people still hunt for FR500 stuff? It's got about 50k, no rust or corrosion (SS and So Cal!), but does have denting on one of the mufflers - kind of...
Part number is F5LE-6D080-AB as seen in pictures and I got it for my 99 Cobra, or it is my original one, I honestly can't remember. That's why I included the part number so you can make sure it fits before buying it. It is in good shape and just don't need it since I'm not powdercoating the...
Got hit in parking lot and now I get to replace my passenger side side scoop - yay! I'm looking for a black one that is in the 01-04 style scoop like the one pictured below :
I don't get on SVTP as much so please email me at : duffmanrha (at) hotmail (dot) com
Please let me know how...
Looking for the entire drop-in assembly to replace my existing center console interior piece with one that has the fold-out cupholder (stock ones don't work well with a manual :(). Since I'm not in a terrible rush to do this, I'm only looking for one in excellent to really good condition with...
I was looking into getting one but they are just flat out expensive for basically a digi cam in a polycarbonate case with a variety of attachments. Is there any company out there (yet?) that offers something like it with similar resolution, megapixel size, frame rate, etc.?
Got my old stock side skirts from my '99 Cobra that I removed to put on a set of 03/04 skirts and slats (fender extensions) so these are obviously for sale! They are in great condition and have been washed, clay bar'd, polished, and waxed since I owned the car in 2006 so they are in great...
This is of course hypothetical, but what is the punishment for driving without registration? Let's assume in this example the driver has insurance but the tags have expired and he or she is driving. Is it up to the officer to decide between giving a warning, or writing a fix-it ticket, or could...
My pinion seal on my '99 Cobra is leaking and I've heard that there is a way to replace it w/o removing the carrier by using a solid (non-crush) collar, marking the nut before removal, and tightening with an inch-lb wrench. Obviously there is more to it, but these were the absolute bare bones of...
I read a story recently about the DMV suspending people's licenses for a DUI even if there were found not guilty, were acquitted, or had their charges dismissed (they are not the same according to the DMV). While getting more impaired drivers off the road is ALWAYS a good idea, I wanted to see...
With the tow hitch that I'm working with, two of the attachment tabs (well, they aren't tabs really, more like 1/4" thick steel) need to be removed and new ones welded in place, if not reusing the existing ones. Unfortunately I don't have a welder or grinder, much less the know how to do it...
Got my old stock side skirts from my '99 Cobra that I removed to put on a set of 03/04 skirts and slats (fender extensions) so these are obviously for sale! They are in great condition and have been washed, clay bar'd, polished, and waxed since I owned the car in 2006 so they are in great...
So I posted this in Roadside already and although I got a lot of opinions on how stupid it was to tow with a Cobra, I know that people do it, and in fact someone suggested looking in the 03/04 forum for help. I need to get a Class 1 hitch in order to move back to CA, however I had planned to get...
Well I posted a thread in Roadside (http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?1015117-Trailer-hitch-for-99-04-Cobra-options) about this and realized that it would make sense to post this in a racing forum since those are people who have a trailer hitch to tow a small trailer with...
Got it installed! Go to page two for more info and pics.
Well, I'll probably be moving back across the country soon and this time I need to drive back and tow a small trailer with my stuff. From some of the reading I've done, there is a hitch out there that does work with the Cobra rear end...
I'd like to get some new ones since mine have disappeared but don't know what size to get, so I was wondering if anyone could measure theirs and maybe let me know? The ones I've found ask for height in inches, as well as diameter in mm - but I don't know if the diameter they are asking is at the...

While driving back from work a few days ago I smelled a burning odor and could hear a squealing sound coming from under the hood. Thankfully it wasn't a spun bearing or otherwise super-serious problem, but this is what I found on my A/C unit :
Here is a vid of it actually moving ...
This isn't a for sale ad or anything, but I wanted to pass along the deal I got from Tousley Ford and the remaining parts out there. I was able to get a complete set, brand new and painted black from Ford, for ~$590 shipped. That's for both side skirts and fender spats, which retail for $359.17...
I'd like to get a set of Corbeau's and with the price of the seats and the mounting brackets I'm looking at $900-$1000. However, I'd like to be able to sell my stock leather seats, both front AND rear, and wanted to see what people were able to get for their seats when they sold them? The rear...
I need a new defroster vent for my driver's side but if you have both for sale I don't mind getting both since it's probably just a matter of time before the passenger side breaks :D PM me or email me at duffmanrha (at) hotmail (dot) com with what you got!
I lost the little plastic piece that covers the hole, but it got me thinking about making it functional instead as a heat extractor like the 03/04 Cobras. Has anyone done this to this style hood (stock I mean)? Will that mean that water will run down on the motor on a regular basis, or is it far...
