What did you do for your Terminator today?

[NateDogg]

Such a beautiful car man. I can only dream to have one as clean as yours someday.

Thank you sir. You'll find your SB eventually!!

Gave it a quick bath. It’s been awhile. Pulled it right back into the garage.

I need to get it tuned ASAP. Can’t find the time.

Nate, you have one heck of a beautiful Sonic Blue Cobra. One of THE best Terminator colors! Great engine setup. I noticed with your past rides you posted HP/TQ. What are your numbers for that Blue Beast?

Minnesota has had one of the mildest winters in history. I even went golfing outside this month!

Should hit close to 50 degrees this weekend and 62* on Monday!

I'm hoping for a early spring. I'll be driving the cobra the most initially because this is the first winter I've stored it with E85. I want to go through that tank fairly quick.

It’s been pretty mild here too in Ohio. I’m hoping to have mine out in March fingers crossed.

I've only had the car on the dyno for one pull. It made 750~ if I remember correctly. but it was a super safe base tune and I was making wayyyyy too much boost so we shut it down.

So I'm still trying to make time to get it tuned. I'd bet it will be in the 800s

Found a really nice GT500 the other day, gave them the info about my terminator, and talked to salesman today and was told "my sales managers are NOT interested in taking on the terminator but we can offer 500 if you need to off load it" LOL said could only sell for 5k. I'm thinking that place is either clueless..or thinks I'm a moron! Whi sells a. 04 OX white Terminator vert with 33k miles for 5 grand?...

Yeah I'll definitely do that. Might get started on that process next week and weekend. Here are a few photo's from when I did my GT350 when I had it and my Mom's BMW Z3. The Z3 was not ceramic coated the GT350 was. I'm definitely not a professional more or less self taught as I first learned on a rotary doing boats.

I was told my Cobra was ceramic coated but I believe it has reach the end of its effectiveness and either way whether it was or not they did not paint correct it first as there is a lot of swirl marks in the paint. Who the F ceramic coats a vehicle without paint correcting it first.

LOLOL gotta love it. My guess is they didn’t understand what you had, or if they did and they offered that. Thats rather savage lol.

Finally got it back together and the cooling system filled. Fired it up to let it get up to temp and noticed the battery light was on. Sigh. Checked the volts on my gauge and it was showing 10.9 and falling. I threw the battery tender on it and came inside. I'll load test the battery tomorrow and see what the tester says. Weird part is I moved the car over the weekend and I don't remember the light being on. Maybe it's just the coolant I spilled on the belt.

At least I already have a spare alternator if needed.

After nearly 15yrs of running Kevin’s original TF wheels I finally changed up the look by throwing on the 18” replicas. Much easier to clean! Will get some pics out in the sun so it actually looks CO…

This one has been in there for a few months at least. I think I mentioned not being impressed with this particular manufacturer in another thread.

I also noticed the battery is four years old this month. So maybe I'll be "lucky" and just need a new battery.

I wait for at least 2 good rainfalls after the roads have been salted before I take my Cobra out. If I still see salt remnants on the road anywhere in my normal travels I keep waiting. Just changed the oil on my Raptor the other day ago and salt was caked everywhere underneath.

I've run a few different sets of wheels on mine but I just feel the factory wheel is the best looking, most appropriate.

All though I do like Foregstar F14's

That's a bummer. What alternator are you currently running?

I'll go $5100! lol

@NateDogg She's a beauty! Pretty close to twinsies over here. I was counting the SB cars in the video of the huge TX Terminator meet and only saw maybe 2-3 tops. Makes ya wonder how many are left.

I’m the same at least two good rain falls. Then check roads, you also gotta watch for pot holes. We just had one good rain. Off to a start lol.

A 250amp KMJ. It's one of those things I knew I was going to do at some point. Even after a few thousand miles it still has the pulsing issue. I just didn't want to crawl under the car again.
