Looks awesome man....very nice!
the intake is that small to keep the velocity of the air high. Its like trying to use a garden hose to drink a soda rather then a small straw. Less volume means that the soda (or air in this case) travel faster.
Grey03Cobra,
How many miles do you have on the COBRA? It looks spotless. Also, what type of finish are your FR500 wheels in...? Looks like polished aluminum.

That is one nice cobra!!! I vote this car for 1st place!! Sorry Cobra "R" clone owner.
That's a really nice setup. You should contact Juiced46 (Dave) as he has a Hellion setup, too. Here's the link. http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=430936
They're 4 piston calipres with some real grippy HAWK pads.
Yep, I really love the hypercoated 500's. I was going to go with the chrome ones, but these just look so much better IMO.
I have about 23,000 miles on it. They are hypercoated FR500's. I don't know what hypercoated is but, it reminds me of the liquid metal terminator guy.......emimetal poly alloy.
Not feeling the wing but bad ass car!
very nice!
Sweet Cobra, but he head lights and the Steeda wing gotta go even though I know its functional. I don't really like stripes either. Regaurdless your ride is a beast.
Very nice car, my Brembos are the other way around. They start making noise when they get hot, still amazed on the improvment over the stock brakes.
Also for an off topic question, I have been thinking about getting coil overs, what kind of spring rate do you have? Length of spring? And what do you think of them?
I have no idea. The it all came with the turbo kit. It is the UPR one and I believe the spring rates are specific to the 03/04 Cobra. You could probably check out thier website. I think it is a good set-up for the price. Personally, I would look into the Maximum Motorsports set-up. It is a bit pricey, but worth it in my book. I went with this set-up because I bought the turbo kit from UPR and they were only asking $5700 for it which included the upgraded Ball Bearing turbo.:-D
because the turbo is not just "pushing" more air into the intake, it is pushing COMPRESSED air into it. big difference
you are absolutely correct that a pipe that small would choke a N/A motor tho(imagine a JLT intake with that size pipe
)edit: sweet ride BTW!
nice ride man, excellent set up. Can't wait to see what kinda #'s you put up. Keep us posted!!!
dude you have the same wheels as me and turbo kit, you want to trade? i have a sonic but want the DSG. lol mileage is really close to.
No way man, I've put way too much into this bad boy.:rolling:
you gotta lose the wing man... hows the bend where the intake side meets the throttle body? does it line up? they always look outa place on the hellion kits..
Hey, I just noticed you live in charleston. So do I. We gotta meet up so I can check this thing out. Awesome car and I like the wing. Btw, who are you gonna have tune it?
