    Advice/tips when selling your car?

    I've personally never sold a car worth as much as my 03 cobra, and I've never sold a car that I didn't have a title in hand for. (The bank currently has the title to the cobra since I'm still paying on the loan). I may end up selling mine soon and I'm a little bit concerned about a few things...

    Anyone recommend good dealer in N VA?

    Getting ready to take my car in for the TOB TSB, was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on a good dealer in the Northern VA area. Car only has CAI, subframes, shifter and catback so it doesn't necessarily have to be a mod friendly dealer. Thanks for any info.

    question for officers about getting pulled over

    Recently I was pulled over for expired tags, my fault for not paying attention and renewing them on time. When the officer put on his lights, I put on my blinker and slowed down, looking for a place to pull over, but it was about a half mile before I found a good place to stop. The officer...

    odd problem, maybe frps?

    Last night I was driving home on the highway using the cruise control. Started up a small hill and all of a sudden the cruise kicked off by itself. I thought it was odd, so I sped back up, turned the cruise back on and about 10 seconds later the car died. I pulled over, and couldn't get the...

    where to get rear brake caliper tool?

    Does anyone know where I can find the tool that is used for rotating the piston in the rear brake caliper? I'm currently using a pair of needle nose pliers but I'd like a better solution. Should be cheap but I can't find it anywhere locally.

    rolled exhaust tips

    I'm looking to get some of the rolled tips for my magnaflow catback. These look similar to the stinger tips. Remember seeing posts about this a while back, but of course I can't search for it. I've noticed that magnaflow sells 12" and 18" versions, but the tips that come with the catback are...

    rear brake dragging

    I've been having a problem with my rear drivers side brake dragging for some time now. The outside pad was worn out after about 7000 miles. It had started squeaking a lot (without brakes applied) and dusting a lot, so I pulled it apart and found the pad almost gone. The entire brake assembly...

    magnaflow catback installed

    Installed my magnaflow catback today and I'm very pleased. Had access to a lift and a buddy helping, took only about 30 mins. Everything lined up just right and the sound is perfect. Sounds about like everyone has described, barely louder than stock at idle, but really comes alive when you...

    dynopack dyno

    Was talking to a guy from a local speed shop today which just got a new dynopack dyno. These are supposed to be much more accurate than a dyno jet, so accurate, they can even show drag from the alternator when the headlights are turned on. Anyway, anyone have any experience with these? He...

    had a flat... ok to take to track?

    So I had my first flat on my 03... what do you guys think about road racing on a tire that has been plugged or patched? Is plugging or patching better or should i just get a new tire before I go to the track? Just worried about the stress and heat that the track would cause.

    brake squeal fixed (for now)

    I noticed that several people had mentioned that their back brakes had started squealing. Mine started squealing at around 500 miles and got to the point where it was driving me nuts. I pulled of the pads and sanded them down a little, getting everything nice and smooth, stuck em back on and...

    front license plate bracket

    So my 03 is supposed to come in next week and the dealer said they can not leave the front plate off due to the front plate law here in va. I do not want to have to depend on the dealer finding a solution to getting around drilling holes in the front bumper. Anyone know where I can get a front...
