my pos

figured i might as well start a thread on my shit box. flame away!

first winter i had it in 04

before any real mods

rims, cobra hood, and headlights

still need to save up money for tires for these...

trans #3

new paint, lowered, new sway bars


out with the old...

in with the new

thinkin i shoulda just drove like this for a while.

halfway through cam installs this winter

gonna miss the old driveshaft, but aluminum is def the way to go now

Nice build. Good idea taking the front fenders off during the swap

Very cool. I like the 4v swap.

nice build.. whats the plans for the 4v? power adder?

thanks guys. i had just painted it a year before the 4v swap so i wanted to protect the paint as much as possible, what better way than just remove them from the equation.

i really want to put a centri s/c or turbo, i like the look of the intake to much to just get rid of it. I'm not the guy looking to get 800hp out of a car, ive done that with a supra, i just want it very streetable with good power. This coming winter it'll prob get pulled out, again, and get some forged internals. Then the following year, maybe a power adder.

ive had the car for 8 years, im in no hurry with it lol

Nice build, I like the 4v swap

Very nice build.

great transformation

nice.. I miss the sound of my procharger!! if i did my build again i would have gone with a F-1 or 2.8 KB

Yup, very nice build! I agree with JD, taking off the fenders was really a nice way to protect them. I really6 hope you come down to Madison this summer so we all can look at it.

Thank you! it was all of 15 min work to get the fenders and bumper off, def worth it! I try to make it to the dells and stuff for some shows, maybe ill have to make it to madison a few times as well.

heres a few more of random stuff of the car..





thankfully before i painted it.. hit and run. #1


found the ass that did this hit and run, thank fully he parked 6 cars down and i was able to prove it was his truck


then, hit and run #2, god damn mother fuckers




someday i will get these mocked up

yea, theres a lot of little stuff that obviously you can't see either. thing has been a work in progress on a budget thats for sure. and ive probably changed my mind about 10x on half the stuff. i went through i think 3 different headlight styles before i finally just settled on the smoked cobra headlight assemblies lol

Off road h-pipe
semi-built t-45
steeda tri-ax
spec stage 2 clutch
aluminum d/s
4.10's
eibach springs
steeda sway bars
FRPP strut tower brace
4v lincoln swap (running on the 2v computer and harness)
96 cobra cams
96 cobra intake
IMRC delete
EGR Delete
smoked headlights
HID's
Cobra hood

little interior stuff like replaced carpet, floor mats, center console, some handles, locks, door pins...

small update on the car.

Got the valve covers and the front cover in place, as well as the p/s, a/c, crank pulley, tensioner, and new water pump.


working on getting the wiring all done as well, tucking as much as i can, as best i can. biggest bitch was just getting to the wires themselves


slowly but surely tho, the wires will get hidden, just gotta get a plan together as to where i can put them without getting to much heat, and routing it where it cant be seen. still have to make a bracket for the coils, and figure out a solid place where to relocate them to. More than likely they will be getting put where the EGR stuff was.

well this is what i want the engine bay to look like with all the wires installed. this pic is WITHOUT the engine harness and spark plug wires






this is how she turned out. I still need to fab some brackets for the coils when i relocated them, and clean up how the spark plug wires are ran, but im happy with how it turned out.

nothing too crazy to get the car running for summer, but a couple updates.


new cobra intake bolts vs mark vii intake bolt.. $60 from the dealer


alt bracket installed, still need the spacers, so i just used a couple nuts stacked on one another to get the right height for now


new locations for the coil packs


everything installed, and ready for the summer.

cool build. like the tower brace you go there.

thanks, the brace is actually a stock 96 cobra piece.

Finally got the Fobra out to a car show this spring.

Nice car slappy.

did a small update on the dash, put in a 160mph cobra cluster
before



after

So when you sell it what's it gonna have for mileage? 162,xxx or 102,xxx? lol

haha, depends on if i like the guy or not... I can swap out the odometer if I wanted to, but I really don't have any intentions of selling it so i'm just going to leave it

Put on new rear brakes and e-brake cables. Thought id grab a few photos after i was done.

Looking good!
