    Anybody in Central CA?

    Anybody in central CA got the magnaflow cat-back with the catted Magnaflow X-pipe? If so, I want to go for a ride and listen to it. I have Stingers with the Factory H right now, and I like the sound, but it gets old when you commute 45 minutes each way every day. I'd like something a little...

    Another stupid cat-back question...

    I have had the Stinger Cat-back for over a year now, and I like it, but I think I might want something a little quieter. Stock is too quiet, so is there anything that splits the difference? Anybody in central CA want to trade? If I can listen to your car first and it sounds right, I'd do it...

    Lowering without losing ride quality

    I'm interested in lowering my car about 1.5 to 2 inches, but I really like the way the car rides now and I don't want to compromise that. I'd rather leave it the stock height than ruin the ride. Has anybody done a lowering job where the ride quality was the same as stock or better? I don't...

    You guys see this? UPR is now knocking off the MGW shifter handle. These guys have no shame. Total blantant rip off. They won't be getting any of my money.

    Predator on stock car w/ CAI & CB

    What kind of results are you guys seeing with a Predator when used on a mostly stock car? With only a CAI and a Stinger CB, is it worth doing? I also have 91 octane gas to deal with as well. What do you think? Got dyno numbers? Thanks

    E-brake handle buzzing

    My E-brake handle started buzzing at certain RPM points. I played around with the lever assembly and got rid of it once, but now it seems like it is coming from the release button. Anybody had this apart or know how to get rid of it? I guess the starting point would be to get the leather...

    How to buy a 03 Cobra computer

    Any way to buy an 03 Cobra computer with the tune loaded in it? I know you could probably buy one from a wreckage, but any other way? How about cost, any idea? Thanks

    Brake rotor clips

    I'm getting ready to change the front brake rotors. Any tips for getting the little clips off of the lug studs? I'd like to re-use them if possible, but if I screw them up getting them off, oh well. Anybody got a good method for this?

    Open track brake pads - again

    Well, I did my first open track event with the 03 last weekend at Thunderhill. I've driven other stuff there before, but I have to say that the 03 did better than expected. I think that the only two cars there that were consistently doing faster lap times were prepped race cars - a BMW 3...

    14mm IRS bolts - Install Question

    When you pull the old 12mm bolts to put in the 14mm versions, how hard is it to get them in/out? Does the subframe tend to preload the bolts, etc? I've just wondering how much time I need to set aside, and what equipment I might need (jack, lift, prybars, etc.) Anybody who has done this, if...

    For those who have Stainless brake hoses

    When you did the stainless brake hoses on the front, do you remember if the banjo bolts (the bolts that attach the hose to the caliper) were fine thread or course thread? The reason I ask, is because I bought some hoses from Maximum Motorsports and they came with fine thread bolts - and my...

    Any difference between Tri-ax and Pro 50?

    Is there any performance difference at all here? Just wondering before I buy. I know a lot of people have both and are happy, just trying to decide. If they are identical I guess I'll flip a coin.

    Nitto 555R II - Best price?

    It looks like the Nitto 555R II's (set of 4) shipped to my door, are going to run about $650 from Discount Tire Direct. Anybody know if they can be found for less anywhere else?

    Open track road course upgrades

    I'm thinking of doing a few open track road course events next year. The questions I have are: Brake pads - recommendations? Tires - not looking for ultimate grip, but good grip that lasts a while and doesn't go off after a few heat cycles. Other recommendations? I used to open track...

    Some lowlife stole my emblems!

    Well, some POS pried the snake emblems off of both fenders on my car yesterday. I went to wash it this morning and discovered it. :cuss: Anyway, anybody got any good leads on where to buy genuine OEM replacements? I already feel like I got sodomized once - no use in going through it again...

    Gauge overlays

    I got a carbon fiber gauge overlay, but when I went to install it, Surprise! - the clear lens is glued on to the rest of the bezel. I'm assuming that the older Mustangs aren't glued this way or it would be damn difficult if not impossible to install these things. I tried to pry it loose, but...

    Diff Cooler

    Anybody out there open-tracking without a diff cooler? I have seen numerous ways to do it, but how necessary is it? If (I should say when) I do an open track day, it wont be a 100% effort, so where is the line between "I need it" and "I don't need it"? Thanks

    X-pipe question

    For those of you that did the cat-back first, then added a catted X-pipe later, did it make it louder? How much? I have the Borla Stinger cat back and I like it, but I don't want it any louder than it already is. I was hoping an X in there might even smooth it out a little. Anybody done...

    PIE adapter - it worked for me

    I just got the PIE aux input adapter and installed it in the 03 today - as seen previously on another thread. (the part number is FRDN-AUX). As mentioned before, it plugs right in and works fine - even though PIE says it won't. When you push the cd button once, it selects the in-dash cd as...

    Dyno runs - Borla Stinger cat-back

    Hi guys, I was doing some dyno work with Borla at their facility and we did a before and after test of the Stinger exhaust on my Cobra - which should be used as a magazine article in the future. All I can say is WOW! The car is stock other than a KB CAI. I used the Autotap to make sure...

    Synthetic transmission fluid - Which one?

    I'm getting ready to change the oil in the transmission. Any recommendations? I have a Redline dealer close by and I was thinking of using MTL. I had great results with this in my t-5, but does this transmission need something different? I would prefer to stay with Redline. Thanks, John
