2001 Mustang cobra convertible
$6888
144,528 miles. 100%California car. Located in Sunnyvale (South Bay Area) but can also show the car in the East Bay.
Well loved daily driver, owned for 14+ years by mechanical engineer. All upgrades were done with the intent of making a reliable and fun to...
Hey guys, Now that my Cobra's gone past 100k miles, it was giving me some hard starting issues when the weather is cold.. I also have some very minor shuddering during idle and power train clattering at part throttle which I had blamed on the car just being old. Well I had free time over the...
Hey guys, I'm not sure you guys remember me, I used to be pretty active on this board. I still have my '01 Cobra 'Vert (and still Love it) but I sorta lost interest in modding it so I stopped coming here.
I just wanted to stop by say hi and show off my new weekend toy.
'07 Lotus Exige S...
I need to get my car smogged soon?
Am I going to have a problem with my JLT CAI? My car is pretty mildly modded in the power department: CAI, catback exhaust, undrive pulleys. thats it..
Am I going to have a problem? anyone in the SF bay area have gone though this?

:cuss: I was rotating my tires, and I figure while I have my tires off, I'd check the torque on my IRS subframe bolts. I have the MM poly subframe bushings and the instructions says to re-torq after 1000 miles, and well its been more like 10k miles. Long story short... pop, I stripped the...
just installed the Blitzsafe IPOD interface so I can play music from my Ipod Nano directly on my Mach460 without going through any hokey radio transimitters. (crappy sound quality)

install took all of 15mins. basically pull the radio...
Time for some new brakes
whats a good place to get rotors and pads? Tirerack?
Whats a good pad for the street? anyone use the Hawk Ceramic pads? or the Porterfield RS4s?
Rotors, plain: not slotted or drilled prefered, but I would like to get some with the blingy zinc coating so it doesnt...
is there a write-up on doing a compression test yourself somewhere?
nothing particularly wrong in my engine, I just think I hear slight pinging sometimes.

this is THE baddest car in the world. it'll run circles around the Enzo and accelerate faster then any superbike.
:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:
I know though the old threads that the '01 strut tower braces dont work with JLT intakes.
I know Maximum Motorsports released an '03+ STB brace, would that work with an '01 with the stock hood and JLT CAI? I know Machone351 got one on there but he's got a cobra R hood and it looked like a...
has anyone noticed a big improvement (reduction) in driveline lash and clunking after you get your rearend gears installed? it seems like they are set up with a pretty big backlash tolerance from the factory. If you've done a rear end swap, post your backlash settings (before and after if you...
people dont post complete topic to their new thread, forcing you to click on it? wasting time when you have no interest in the topic.
:cuss: its really annoying.
looking for a source of vinyl dye for Medium parchment color. my top has some faded dark areas and I'm looking to put a light coat on it to freshen it.
before I drove the Viper, the only manual cars I've driven are my 2 mustangs. I always thought driveline slack (the backlash/clunk you get when you accelerate from coasting, especially in the lower gears) was normal in manual transmission cars. The Cobra is especially bad...
anyway, I've since...
I've been having this issue for a while now, but I havent gotten around to diagnosing it because it happens so seldomly, like once every 3-4weeks:
It usually happens when I pull the car out of gear while slowing down from a moderate speed, the engine would stall. When I crank it, it'll fire...
has there been instances of actual spline/halfshaft failure due to the "tink" noise, or is it just a noise issue. Last I heard from my thread searches, Ford stopped replacing the halfshafts with the "tink"...
when you still have the tink after the axle nuts are torqued down, does it mean the...
I have the dreaded rear end tink on start up and reverse.. I tightend up my axle nuts and the noise is still there.
according to my searches I got the premature worn axles and hubs... how much are the parts? how difficult is it to do by myself? should I upgrade to '03+ axles?
the noise is...
I'm looking for a small compact sub for my 'vert.
I dont want anything crazy.. just something that'll fill out the bass when the top is down.
I'm looking at the infinity basslink. doesn anyone have it, and how well does it work. Is it worth it to get the basslink T, or is the base model fine...
finally got a chance to take pics, had it installed quite a while ago, but I've been busy at work and took a 2wk vacation to Hawaii.
its not a perfect fitment as you can see there is a little wrinkle at the bottom. I might need to add a few screws later on. but its not too bad.
ps. to...
I got a 36mm socket from craftsman, but its not deep enough, so I think I need one of those 1/2" drive deep impact sockets.
where is a good place to buy it, (preferably cheap)? I looked in Harbor freight and Sears with no luck
