    Vortech Leaking

    I was changing the oil today and noticed oil residue on the intercooler piping. I checked around the head unit and saw oil around the discharge side. Any ideas what the problem could be?

    Car has trouble starting when hot

    The car starts right up when cold but if I drive around for 30 min or so, it has a hard time turning over. Any ideas? IAC valve? Coil Pack? Other fuel related issue? You can hear the car cranking fine, it just struggles to turn over. Car is a 96 Cobra with a Vortech. Thanks

    T56 gets stuck in 1st

    I'm having an issue with my T56 getting stuck in gear while slowly rolling to a stop. Once the car stops, I have to either physically pop it out or hold the clutch in till the car gets rolling again. Does anybody have an idea what this could be? Tranny or Clutch issue? It seems the slower...

    Vortech install on 96 Cobra

    Going to be installing a Vortech T-trim on my car and planning to run about 12 pounds of boost. Right now all I have is the head unit, bracket, and coolant cross over. I compiled a list of what I think I will need but would like to get input on if I'm missing anything, or if I should upgrade...

    Faded Satin Black Wheels

    What's the best method or product I can use to bring the wheels back to life? I've only used Meguiars All wheel cleaner when washing and Poorboys wheel sealant a couple times so I'm not sure what caused this. Wheels are Satin Black HREs that are maybe 4 years old. I'll post a picture tonight...

    Loud rattle when clutch is out

    I just installed a Mcleod RST twin disc and everything seems to be fine except I have a loud rattle when the clutch is not engaged. I thought it would be a simple fix with the firewall adjuster, but the noise is there whether the adjuster is turned clockwise or counterclockwise. Is this a TOB...

    Some pics of my 96 Cobra

    I borrowed a friends SLR and took some pictures before I had to give it back. This is the first time I've ever shot with one so go easy on me. I left the camera on auto focus and just left the F Stop on what my buddy had it set to. He uses the camera mostly for taking head shots so I figured...

    So who has replaced the starter in their 96-98?

    Pretty sure mine is starting to go out as the car will crank over slowly, skip a little, and sometimes freewheels where it sounds like its cranking too long. The battery and alternator are fairly new and voltage is normal. I hear the starter is not easy to get to and the top bolt can be a real...

    Scratches and scrapes in brushed aluminum

    How would you guys get these out? Wheel centers are brushed aluminum with a clear coat and the scratches/scrapes are inside the lug holes. Could I use Meguiars scratch x? Or are there better products? Or am I sh*t out of luck? Thanks

    FS: Pair of Michelin Pilot Sport 2s, Hardly used.

    I have for sale two Michelin PS2 tires in a 255/35/19. I bought the tires this week and put less than 50 miles on them. I didn't like how the 255s looked on a 19 X 8.5 inch rim, so I stepped down to 235s. I paid close to $800 for tires ($340 each) and willing to let them go for $500 OBO...

    Part number for 00R calipers

    I'm having custom wheels made and the company is asking for the part number of my 00R calipers to check fitment. I went to the Brembo website and their contact info number was out of service :bs: Does anyone know where I could get the part number? I'm assuming the Ford part number will do...

    Refinishing wheels

    I'm sending my wheels in for refurbishment and not sure what center finish to get. Should I keep the gloss black finish, or go with brushed aluminum. Here are some pics of my car currently... Here is a 98 with the same rims in brushed (only picture I have of it)...

    Cleaning HRE Wheels

    My HREs should be here tomorrow and I'm just wondering the proper way to clean them. The wheels are used, and look to have black painted centers with a clear coat, and polished lips. Would Poor Boys wheel sealant be ok for them? How about the polished lips?

    Kaenen wing issues

    Has anyone else had trouble aligning the holes on the wing with those on the trunk? I couldn't get them to align perfectly and now one of the top holes on the wing is stripped after trying to screw the bolt in.:cuss: Doesn't really make sense because the wing itself sits perfectly on the car.

    E Brake Cable...

    The bracket that attaches the rear, right side E Brake cable snapped in half this weekend causing the cable to rub against the back side of the wheel. The chewed up cable is now being held by a zip tie temporarily until I find a new bracket. I found a new rear cable at the Tousley Parts site...
