    What can I ask for my 03?

    Hey guys, not sure where to ask this but the search isn't working for me right now, just gives a 500 server error. I'm moving back to the east coast in January and I can't take the Mustangs with me. I bought the terminator cheap with the hopes of fixing it up, but it never really happened. Too...

    What happened here? (clutch removed after 3k miles)

    Hey guys, looking for an opinion of what went wrong here. I installed this clutch two years ago and the car will have been lucky to have gone more than 3000 miles in that time. Its a Spec 3+ with a steel flywheel, I think it was a ford racing one but I can't remember at this point. It never...

    I finally defeated my clunk! And two other problems went with it...

    So ever since I bought this car in 2010 it has had the clunk in the rear, and not just a little bit, this was super-clunk. It sounded like someone hitting the bottom of the car with a sledge kind of clunk. I tried many things, I bought a billet differential cover, larger subframe bolts...

    Anyone have a pulley puller I can rent/borrow? Ventura/North LA area

    Hey guys, I am looking to use a pulley puller to remove my supercharger pulley. I already broke two of the kind they have at the store after contacting Billetflow and finding out they don't have the parts right now to make new ones to rent (I don't really want to pay $160 for one use). I really...

    Belt screaming, need advice please

    Hey guys, I am running into a bit of an issue I haven't had before. My car has had a 2.76 on it for quite a while, and everything was fine although the belts wore out every few months as a DD. I recently got the car back together after extended downtime, and I had changed the blower out for...

    I think I need a lottery ticket...

    So its been a loooong time since I posted here. My Cobra has been in storage for almost 1 year (it would be March 1st). The car has had a host of problems, offset only by the incredibly cheap cash price I bought it at. For starters, when I bought it, it had been about 20,000 miles with a 2.76...

    What other damage should I be looking for?

    So I finally got around to getting the blower off of the car today, it was running surprisingly well when I parked it about a month ago to get it taken apart to replace the power steering pump. Anyways, got the blower off and removed the intercooler (naturally breaking two of the bolts) and...

    Just bought a 2010 GT for a DD

    Well, the time has come to retire the cobra from daily driver duties. Its still in the Ford dealer for a busted power steering line. I ended up picking up this beauty for a good price. I love it, I know its not as powerful as the 5.0 etc, but its a really fun car, very comfortable. I tried an...

    Can anyone help me with this wiring mess?

    So a few days ago my '03 decided that the drivers window will not roll up. Banging by the motor didn't help, and I get the click under the dash that seems to be related to a bad auto-down module from most of the reading I've done on it. So I got the door panel off today and couldn't find the...

    Mysterious items came from my exhaust

    So I had a rattle in my passenger side cat for a while now. I decided to swap it out today and picked up an MRT catted H to replace my Magnaflow catted X. I got the magnaflow off and decided to flip it up and see what the rattles were about. This was bought brand new and wrapped up when it went...

    Need some help with a power steering line

    I figured I would ask here because no dealer or shop I have called has been any help. Backstory: My steering rack bushings were pretty much disintegrated when I got the car, and this caused the PS lines to flex on the pump every time the wheels were turned (the whole rack was moving side to...

    Trying to find a used 100mm aux pulley, I don't care what brand or how many bearings it has, as long as its usable. Just need one for right now.

    Belt question before I buy

    I searched and googled but couldn't find the right answer here. My setup is a 2.76 (I think) upper with 100mm aux idler. I've been going through Gates K080740 like they're candy. I keep returning it under the warranty but I feel like something is wrong. My tensioner is like 1/4" to the right of...

    Running 15.8 AFR at WOT, where to start?

    Since I got my car a few weeks ago I've been sure that the tune was off, because it just didn't feel like it should. I have been driving it gently since I discovered that and basically staying out of boost at all just in case. It looks like I was right, I put it on my buddies dyno tonight and we...

    Drone question

    Hey guys, I currently have a magnaflow catted X pipe on my car, and SLP loudmouth II. Its been on for about 3 weeks, I didn't choose them based on my preference but rather it was available cheap locally and both were brand new. I needed an exhaust to get my car back on the road. I have...

    MRT catted H for sale socal

    Hey guys, I picked up an MRT catted H pipe I was planning to use but I don't feel like switching it out any more. Its used but it good shape, cats have some scrapes on the bottom because it was on a lowered car previously. Otherwise in good shape. Not noise or rattles from the cats at all...

    A/C question

    I tried to search for this and found plenty of stuff about A/C but none that apply. I was changing out one of my idler pulleys today which was squeaking, and noticed that the A/C lines were freezing cold right when I started the car. This tells me that the compressor was running for the 10...

    Lower pulley bad?

    So lately I've been hearing crickets from the front of my motor, especially when cold, and I took a look today. From what I can tell the lower pulley is sort of wobbling, maybe be 1-2mm but its noticable with the car running. I'll get it on the lift this weekend and see better but how hard is it...

    Operation "save a terminator" is a go

    I figured I would post some pictures of the new Cobra, and hopefully I will be able to update this soon as things change. I picked this up from a local dealer who got it from auction, it came from a ford dealer where the original owner (and moron) traded it in for a GT500. After looking at it...

    Newb question, Cobra brakes

    I can't seem to find any reference to it anywhere, was there a specific year or model (say 10th ann) that came with brake calipers that say "cobra"? I know my 99 for sure didn't have it, and my 03 has plain calipers as well. Just curious because I see people selling them from time to time and I...
