[QUOTE="stolher, post: 11838785, member: 73269"] Enthusiasts, I am proud to say that I am finally able to begin my first build thread! A little background, I bought my first 03 Cobra in 2008 w/ 50K miles on her. Bone stock. I had all the aspirations in the world to mod that car to no end. Well, as life goes I quickly learned that I was living well outside my means. Sadly I had to sell her in 2009, I just couldn't afford it. Well a little earlier this year I picked up my second 03 Cobra with 74K miles on her and a convertible. I didn't want the vert but the price was just to good to pass up! So here I am with my second cobra and I can finally afford it! She already had some good mods but lacked all the essentials in my opinion. Over 500 RWHP but couldn't effectively get any of it to the ground. Lack of chassis stiffening and the loosest rear end ever! So I started from the ground up. First of all Fixing the vacuum leaks, new plugs, new valve cover gaskets, JLT RAI, basically TLC! I spent a few days going through the JANKY wiring and geting everything up to my standards. Working w/ aircraft has made me a bit of a perfectionist! I removed all of the interior and Installed a 6 point cage. Added the remaining components to the sub frame connecters to have an extreme matrix kit underneath. I am going to tie the cage into the sub frame as well. Then I went with front and rear strut tower braces. New rotors and pads. Corbeau CR1 black leather seats w/ 5 point harnesses are en route and in the mean time I am replacing all the fluids, doing some cosmetic work (new hood, new top) and installing Bruces FTBR kit for the rear end over this weekend. Whats the point of a SCREAMING supercharger and a good amount of power if I cant get any of it to the ground?! Here is a list of mods as of when I bought it: LFP Intercooler (stenciled SVT) LFP Power Steering Reservoir Expansion Tank (Black) LFP Pro Comp Race Radiator Raptor Shift light LFP Perfect Flow Head Cooling Mod Stant High Performance Extended Thermostat 160 Bassani BX Off Road Mid Pipes Bassani BX Cat-back Exhaust MM Full length sub-frames Black powder coated Valve Covers Black powder coated coil covers Billet Flow IRS Brace 60lb Fuel Injectors Lethal Performance BAP Wiring Upgrade Kit Lethal Performance Fuel Boost a Pump MGW Short throw Shifter Billet flow 4 Pulley Idler Kits Billet flow 2.93 Pulley LFP 4lb Lower pulley Speed of Sound pillar Speedhut custom fuel pressure gauge Speedhut custom boost gauge Accufab single blade throttle body Accufab Plenum Carbon Fiber hood Stage 4 Stiegemeier Port MM Caster Camber plates MM IRS Sub-frame bushings Innovative LC-1 Wide band Air/Fuel Ratio Controller JLT 12" CAI Kit For High Boost Applications LFP Super tank Intercooler Reservoir (Black) SCT 2400 MAF SCT Xcalibrator 2 Handheld tuner with 3 different tunes Spec Stage 3 Clutch Nos system Here are just a few pictures.
