[Black_Bullitt]

mmmmmm.... look at those wheels... (in the second pic. lol) :D

j/k, glad everything's going back together! Can't wait to see the Cobra on the road again.

[SeeingRed]

Me neither!

IS THAT A REAL COBRA?!

[Black_Bullitt]

Moooooo!!!!

[SeeingRed]

Murdered out!

[CaballoBlanco]

haha thats badass

[SeeingRed]

The intake and plenum cover are black also, so it'll all be black minus the blower and piping, which are polished. Should look pretty good in the car.

[NeverEnuff]

Miss this build.

Hope to see the car again soon...

[brown7]

Oh cool, who is building it?

[SeeingRed]

Are you dumb?

[SeeingRed]

Miss this build.

Hope to see the car again soon...

You will. Jim just e-mailed me today. He just got it registered and will probably be getting in touch with you soon.

[brown7]

oh my bad, its from a year ago. dam grave robber.

[NeverEnuff]

LOL. That was fun to build that car. I love from ground up...pretty much anyway...

[SeeingRed]

It was just the motor. lol

[NeverEnuff]

Yeah. I just wanted to say ground up. lol.

But its not like I couldn't have put a trans and rear end. lol.

[SeeingRed]

You definitely could have, but luckily I didn't need that. I'm surprised at how solid the drive line felt behind the monster under the hood. I never had any problems with clutch slipping, trans grinding, rear end whine...nothing at all. Everything was awesome. But now I just have my Tacoma, which by the way I added a K&N filter and E3 plugs to and increased my gas mileage by about 2-3 MPG around town.

[subsGT]

yes...yes you do, and a fat check to go with it

:nod:

[SeeingRed]

A fat chick?

[subsGT]

A fat chick?

well, maybe in a few months...:banana:

[SeeingRed]

She won't be "fat"!

[NeverEnuff]

She aint fat. lol.


She is 'cute'. lol.

Wait what? lol.

[SeeingRed]

You guys are retarded. My wife isn't even close to fat. She's gorgeous!

[NeverEnuff]

James...you are gorgeous...

[Black_Bullitt]

Your mom is gorgeous. :look:

[subsGT]

she is gorgeous - for a fat chick


j/m man...

[SeeingRed]

I'd smack the shit outta you if I could reach that far.

[subsGT]

I'd smack the shit outta you if I could reach that far.

:evil:

[subsGT]

uh oh is right! It's dead in the water bro!! Going to base today, just cruising along around 70, and the damn thing started knocking and rattling - pulled over just about 3 miles from base off 20 - had to call Matt, I don't know anyone else that could help - he came over and we loaded it up on his trailer and hauled it to his place. It starts okay, won't idle because whatever is knocking is dragging the engine down. F@#K! Not sure if it's in the trans or engine - no smoking or loss of oil pressure, that's a good thing, so he's gonna take a looksee when he can and let me know. Corey brought me back to the house - I feel like I lost a sibling... :( Thought you'd like an update. :badmood:

[Black_Bullitt]

Boooo... Sorry to hear that, dude. Hopefully it's "nothing".

[subsGT]

Boooo... Sorry to hear that, dude. Hopefully it's "nothing".

yes, in the world of all that can go wrong, it's sad to say I hope it's only the trans and be relieved if it is - but like I told Matt, when something breaks, it's time to upgrade! :nod:

[Mustangfreak]

TKO-600 :look:

[subsGT]

TKO-600 :look:

baaaaad influence!

:drool:

[Mustangfreak]

[SeeingRed]

TKO-600 :look:

That's not really an upgrade...

That sucks Jim. Hopefully it's something minor.

[subsGT]

me too....if it's the trans then it's gonna be a spec 3 clutch kit and aluminum flywheel going back in. That should hold!

[SeeingRed]

It has a Fidanza aluminum flywheel in it right now.

Have fun driving around town with a Spec 3. Hopefully you don't get shin splints.

Why not just get an auto from Art Carr? Get a built 4R70W, throw a manual valve body and a shift kit with a good stall in it, then be done?

[subsGT]

I was going with Matt's recommendations - I don't know how it's built or what's in it. It don't bother me, I like the shifting and prefer a manual. We kicked around going with an automatic, just something about a 6 sp that I like.... Of course, if i did, I'd have to put the smaller pulley on to compensate for the loss of power :evil: :coffee:

[Black_Bullitt]

mmm.... 6 speed.... :look:

[NeverEnuff]

6 speed < 4R70w stall and MVB...

Already have a 3800 stall in the garage here for you jim! uh oh.

[subsGT]

6 speed < 4R70w stall and MVB...

Already have a 3800 stall in the garage here for you jim! uh oh.

I'm good - I like shifting, it's part of the fun of driving.
Anyway, if it IS the trans, it'll be LOTS less to fix then buying another trans, shifter, oil coolers etc....:headbang2:

[SeeingRed]

Matt will try and try to con you in to buying shit you don't wanna buy...just resist the urge!

[brown7]

Matt will try and try to con you in to buying shit you don't wanna buy...just resist the urge!



it's true, he is a bad influence :)

[Black_Bullitt]

That's why his s/n is NeverEnuff.

[SeeingRed]

it's true, he is a bad influence :)

Then he gets butt hurt when you don't buy what he wants you to buy, and when you call him out on it, you're the bad guy.:look:

[subsGT]

nahh, I'mma big boy - I can think for myself.

[SeeingRed]

I don't doubt it.

[NeverEnuff]

Matt will try and try to con you in to buying shit you don't wanna buy...just resist the urge!

Um. Whatever. I never twisted your arm at all. Don't got anything nice to say. Then keep your mouf shut

[NeverEnuff]

Then he gets butt hurt when you don't buy what he wants you to buy, and when you call him out on it, you're the bad guy.:look:

Sad part is. I know what works. Period. you want to make it slower...then don't listen...

[subsGT]

Sad part is. I know what works. Period. you want to make it slower...then don't listen...

I have no doubt, I just know what I like, and want.... The initial investment in that car was huge, I can't afford (in a practical sense) to keep throwing $$ at it... It may have been a good price, but remember, I paid for it up front. I don't know a lot of ppl that can do that...:)

[NeverEnuff]

^ Understandable Jim. and I wasn't pointing fingers at you. James just likes to poke when he can, cause well...thats what James does. I got his car done as cheap as I could. There were different ways I would have gone for piece of mind...but I went with HIS decision...so with that. I don't know where James gets this...but whatever.

I may be a 'Bad Influence'...but its just that. Nothing more. Ive never turned ANYONE away from working on thier cars because they didn't do what I reccomended...

[subsGT]

no worries man...lets git er done- right!

[NeverEnuff]

^ Yes sir. White coupe is turning over. Just a few more things to get it driving, and then ill yank the 98 in and check it out.

And by 'yank' I mean...grab some towels...wipe it off and then have some hot girls in bikinis push it in. lol.

[subsGT]

hmmmm....I'll be right over!

Remember too, the battery will be dead, it still has that ground issue. More shiiit...

[NeverEnuff]

Ill charge it up. No worries sir. I should have unhooked the battery. Ill try and look into that after I figure out the engine/trans issue.

[subsGT]

good news and bad news? The trans is okay - so I guess that means the engine isn't. D'oh!

[SeeingRed]

Hmm.

[subsGT]

Hmm.


yeah, that's what everyone else said...should be interesting

[Mustangfreak]

damn :(

[subsGT]

damn :(


yeah, that's what I said LOL

ehh, Matt will tear it down and investigate, and we'll work on upgrades and such...go to the next level with a pulley and all the right components around it :evil:

[Mustangfreak]

Word! 324" Big Bore Stroker :look:

[subsGT]

Word! 324" Big Bore Stroker :look:

I dunno dude...if it needs machine work it's possible.
I hope it don't need too much, but ya never know!




bad influence!

[SeeingRed]

I'll be interested to see how the motor got fucked up.

[SeeingRed]

I dunno dude...if it needs machine work it's possible.
I hope it don't need too much, but ya never know!

I wouldn't do the 324". If anything I'd find another Teksid block (or just an aluminum block out of an Aviator or another Cobra block) and keep it stock cubes but boost the bageebus out of it. Like a 3.1" pulley with the 7.5" crank pulley that's on it. You'll max that D1SC out like that...close to 30 PSI.
