[OSU34]

I have rear H&R race springs (red) I’d be willing to sell if you’re interested.

My original post was in February...finally the Cobra arrived this week...i have to wait for all the docs to arrive to register it but at least I can get started doing a deep clean and doing some short drives

Twin turbo kit, Motec, 4 pump fuel system, auto trans conversion.

And done.

Dont save the pussy for the next guy (like the owner before you). Be a man.

That's awesome. Congratulations. You undoubtedly know pretty much what you want to do, mods wise. Wouldn't hurt to put on paper what those mods will be and in what order. Keep us informed and post photos.

Thanks...doing clean up on the car right now...everything was coated in dust but the condition is obvious...I have a spreadsheet lol...here is a crappy photo of the interior...once I can register it locally I'll start picking up parts (waiting on all the documentation to get here but I've driven it as much as I can just around the immediate area and each day it seems to drive better

I love the 10th Anniversary interior, Brian. Yours looks perfect. Enjoy it!!

I'll be watching this thread, I just received a black 2003 Cobra Coupe with 5500 miles on it so I'm in a similar boat!

it came with aftermarket exhaust with no cats, but he included the full stock exhaust too with the sale (it's sitting in my back yard right now, gotta figure out where to store it)

it apparently also has an aftermarket shifter in it, I've only driven it around the block once but I kept missing third and hitting fifth, hopefully I'll get used to it

Not yet...slow process getting the car inspected/registered...where I live they are all working on schedules now minus the gas stations and I'm not giving them my car...I've swapped the horse for the cobra, done an antenna delete, new Lloyds mats...just minor stuff

yeah you need to get it indoors...I've been trying to drive mine just around the neighborhood as much as possible until it's registered

 

[PcChip]

that's exactly what I'm doing as well, took it around the block a few times until all the paperwork gets done, but 100% keeping it in the garage... my Veloster N will have to sleep outside now lol

wise decision...my GTI is outside although I hate for any cars to be outside

Congrats!!!! One thing ill say is don't over mod it, unless thats what you want.
As the car is right now, it will last forever and you could drive it accross the country if you wanted. Keep that in mind!!
Very appealing to me - maybe not to others. I still like to have a good CAR. Not just a 1 trick pony that I cant actually enjoy on trips and such. Modded Cobra's dont excel here.

A nice sounding exhaust system (bassani/borla/magnaflow) can go a long way to satisfying the mod bug, without sacrificing longevity of the engine, clutch, rearend ect.

If you just want a fast cruiser with no worries then be weary of adding a ton of mods.
Enjoy one of the best Mustangs ever made!!!!

My 10th

 

[ITSTOCK]

Mine has 8k miles, honestly just a fun car to cruise in and I enjoy it stock. The itch is always there, but then I know I’ll go down the same road as my other cobra.

My advice, lower it and do some wheels, enjoy it as a cruiser.

Bought her from the original owner this year. Love being back in a stock cobra. No hassles or bs to deal with like the cars in my sig. The car just works and its still very fast.

Yeah I’m going full send on my black coupe. My 19k mile coupe is already FBO.

My 10th

One thing I'm not in is a rush...I had a completely different car built in my head and how that I have it and have had some time to think about it (and with feedback from the forum) I want to enjoy each mod as I go...my focus is to get the car running well as it is, and do an x-pipe/catback

tires are also high on the list since they are almost 20yrs old...still toying with wheel ideas
