  1. Ford Racing Cobra Jet Intake Thread

    Haha, girlfriend is a rotary nerd so more than likely an RX-7 which she constantly scours the internet for trying to find one that's reasonable. I DD my Boss and every time I hop in I get a big smile on my face, I want to drive this car more and so tracking the car next seemed like natural...
  2. Ford Racing Cobra Jet Intake Thread

    Thank you for the info, yeah I'll end up not doing any major work on the car and just sign up for these Driver's Ed/Performance Driving days and learn how to track first. Appreciate the response!
  3. Ford Racing Cobra Jet Intake Thread

    Sorry to bring up an old thread on you guys here, but the last post on this topic was in April and I was wondering if anyone had any long term impressions on this particular Kit. I was at Coffee and Cars in Houston this past weekend and saw an LS with a turbo. This made me start to wonder about...
  4. Ford Racing Cobra Jet Intake Thread

    Would it be possible to edit the first post of this thread to start posting links of the best deals online?For instance I found the intake manifold here for a really good price.http://www.fordracingpartsdirect.com/COBRA_JET_5_0L_4V_INTAKE_MANIFOLD_p/m-9424-m50cj.htmOf course this probably...
  5. Wider Wheels and Tires on a Staggered Setup

    Sorry to revive an old thread guys I just had a curious question and went searching when I stumbled across this. By now I'm sure you guys have heard about the new Z/28 and it's massive 305/30ZR Pirelli Tires. I guess my question is would the Boss benefit from wider tires on the track and if so...
  6. Clutch Pedal on the floor

    Thanks Brandon, just a curious question.
  7. Clutch Pedal on the floor

    I've never heard that about the 13's. Not trying to start an argument either because if it is out on them, that's great.Justin, did you remove your assist spring? Has the clutch pedal started to sag at all after a while? Or just looking for anyone's opinions on who has had it out for a while...
  8. Painted Brake Calipers

    I've tossed around the idea, what color were you thinking of going with?
  9. Help with Rear Suspension

    Ha, that's perfect, thanks Pufferfish. No need for apologies man, thanks for the help.
  10. Help with Rear Suspension

    Yeah that makes a lot of sense, however I don't understand what you mean by changing the angle. I thought an adjustable panhard bar only has 1 location spot and by adjusting it you are aligning the outside of your wheels to your fenders?
  11. Help with Rear Suspension

    Yeah I think I will. I'm going to see if reinstalling these things will help out, and center the panhard bar again just to ensure everything is where it needs to be. I tried googling the bar and brace diagrams and didn't come to a decided conclusion so I'll just check it out at the dealership...
  12. Help with Rear Suspension

    Yes sir, I had jack stands underneath the axle when I swapped out the panhard brace and the bar when I installed them. I felt it would be best to have the car underload when I did this.I always thought the panhard brace should be parallel with the car while the panhard bar takes on more a...
  13. Help with Rear Suspension

    Used a digital angle finder for that. Tranny flange was at 4.3, Pinion was at 2.3 thus I have the two degrees of offset for the acceleration accounted for. And to be honest I didn't adjust my lower control arms since I haven't lowered the car thus I thought it would be a direct drive shaft swap...
  14. Help with Rear Suspension

    So I checked the ride height, fronts match and so do the rears. I drove it around, only 5 minutes away from work and the car seems fine, even pushed it a bit... legally and hesitantly.Looked under the car without jacking it up and my lca relocation brackets seem even and the car seems level...
  15. Help with Rear Suspension

    Puffer, I'll check during lunch time to see if my spring are intact on the other three corners. Sway bar end links are intact as well, I checked that this morning. That panhard brace I thought would be more level but it is showing some serious bend underneath the car under load.I would love to...
