Anyone know the size/thread of the bolts you need to put a Teksid on an engine stand off-hand? I meant to test some sizes before I left this morning but I ran out of time.
Thanks!

Hi all,
A friend of mine managed to find me a motor from another 97--there was a bearing failure, so the crankshaft is a little scuffed, but the block itself is pretty good, apart from a slight crack where the starter goes. So apart from getting those things fixed, I'd like to start looking...
Hi all,
Recently noticed my speedo and odometer suddenly went dead. No readings at all. I replaced the vehicle speed sensor, but no dice. So I'm thinking the speedcal must have broken and because of that it must be blocking the signal from the trans sensor. Some questions:
1) Does that...
Hi all,
My 97 Cobra has an issue with the rear axle allignment. Essentially, the passenger side wheel is back farther than the front, and it's pretty noticable, about half an inch, maybe more.
I rebuilt the rear last year with new Ford Racing uppers, MM lowers, Eibach springs and...
Hi all,
I have a set of clear corners for an SN 95, in good shape. Asking $15 plus shipping from MI.
I also have a pair of chrome Altezza-style taillights. The chrome has a few scratches and blemishes in it, but looks pretty good overall. Asking $40, plus shipping.
Just...
Hi all,
Has anyone noticed that the Dallas Mustangs site has nothing much Speedcal related on it anymore? The calculator isn't working, and they don't have any for sale.
And does anyone have a binary code for a 4.10 and 285-40R18s on a 97 Cobra?
Thanks!

Hi all,
Man, I'm tired. Here's what I've done in the last 3 weekends:
Hooker Supercomp longtubes and X pipe (attached to my flowmasters, and boy does it sound great)
PA Racing K-member with '03 Cobra A-arms and new Ford motor mounts
Bilstein HDs and Eibach Pro Kit springs
MM...
I'm finally getting close to installing my headers. They've got the ceramic coating, but I'm wondering if I should also get header wrap for them, and if I do, is 50 feet by 2" wide enough for the headers, or would I need more?
Thanks in advance,
T
Hi,
I've spent the last hour or so searching the official pics thread, but I haven't had any luck. Anyone have a black SN95 with black saleens? Can you post a pic? Or at least link one in the pics thread?
Think this combo would look better with red or black calipers?
Thanks

Hi all,
I'm selling this slightly-used JLT CAI. The previous owner had it on for about 12k miles. I bought it not knowing that the intakes for 96-98 and 99-01 were totally different. So I can't use it and would like to hand it off to someone who can.
The intake has some scratching on it from...
Hi all,
I may be able to pick up a set of disassembled (but complete) C heads. So I'm wondering:
1) Are there any good shops in Detroit I should think about--I know Livernois and Lidio are pretty popular--am I missing some? How much would that cost?
2) What would be the general...
Hi all,
I just installed new LCAs, and one of the steps was to remove the springs from the e-brakes. That wasn't a problem, but I can't seem to figure out how to get them back in. I've tried it with a pair of big needle-nose pliers and a screwdriver, but I get the feeling that I need some...
Hi all,
I'm looking to install a set of Hooker Super-Comps and a Hooker X-pipe. I've got a friend who has engine hoists, air tools, and the garage space to help me through dropping the K member and all the other stuff I'll need to do to get them in. My question is probably a simple one--if I...
Anyone know of a place that sells just bezels without the tail lights included? I've only seen a few on ebay and haven't had much luck with google.
Thanks

Hi all,
I've done a lot of searches, but I haven't found a really direct answer to this...
My intent for my car is mainly to aim at it being streetable, hitting the drag track on occasion (Not more than 3-4 days dragging in one year) and hoping to get into doing some autocrossing.
The...
I've seen Timken and Ford Racing kits--which is better? Is there a real difference, or should I just go with whatever's cheapest? And where's the cheapest place?
I'm all full of dumb questions tonight...
I really wish money was no object, but sadly, it is. So for her B-day, I'm thinking of getting my cobra
1) Bullit Pedals and LJT CAI
or
2) MM LCA's
She's mostly stock (see sig), and while I'm saving up for gear and exhaust installs, I still want to get something to celebrate the day...
I searched on all of this, and while there were people with similar codes, I didn't see the same question twice:
I've been getting P0156 and P0161 repeatedly. I changed the Driver's side back O2 sensor and added MIL eliminators and I'm still getting the code. Does this mean that I somehow...
Hi all,
I picked up a second-hand set of March pulleys (#1150) but the instructions weren't in the box. Can someone scan and email me a copy? Or should it be doable without instructions? I remember a thread about pulley installation destroying a motor this week, so I was thinking the...
Hey all,
I did a search but couldn't find any examples of my problem:
I generally like to park with my wheels turned and locked--I feel like it'd be harder to tow the car that way if a thief happens to have a towtruck handy. Thing is, lately (perhaps within the last 2-3 weeks) my steering...
There's a guy in my area selling a set of Flowtech full length headers (12114FLT). Anyone have these? Are they any good? Will they allow clutch removal without removing them?
Thanks

I bet these are pretty basic, too...
1) Does everyone have this silly looking gap between their interior rear quarter panel and the squishy headrest like thing, where you can see like 1/2 inch of plastic behind it? Any way to get rid of it? I hate the way it looks.
2) Should the plug...
Hi all
I'm getting a P1122 code (Throttle position sensor low voltage). Should I try to adjust the one I already have using the instructions from, well, all over the place? Or should I buy a new one and adjust that one accordingly?
Thanks

on changing the light bulb that illuminates the foglight switch. Dano has been a great help to me in troubleshooting and understanding the basics, and suggested I contact you for more specifics...
So how does one get the little lightbulb out of the fog light switch? I performed Dano's...
