okay, so I can see your point...


I will say, that this is the best looking non 03-04 cobra I've ever seen

I can live with that (PS thats just a 95 cobra)

but of course, I'd take the 95R over any mustang produced between 94-04

Actually that's a 96-98 Cobra hood.

Bad news guys, the exhaust on my passenger side fell off, without any warning today when driving home. I don't know how or why since I haven't had any time to research it, but it happened, which abruptley made me run it over, and I haven't even really checked that out yet, but the tip is completely seperated from the pipe. Pictures later tonight, or tomorrow.

maybe chris means "negative woot" as in the opposite of woot, or as the guys on the covino and rich show like to say "swoot"

The rubber grommet that holds the exhaust to the body failed...

Ouch! There's something else wrong. Maybe you should check your engine and trans mounts. Exhaust components mainly break for excessive movement or impacts. That happened to my friend's 90 GT conv. His right tailpipe broke and was hanging on the rear end!

I'm thinking engine mounts. The trans mount looked fine when I was down there for the clutch replacement, but I think I'm gonna go check it out again to make sure everything is tightened to spec. I wouldn't mind getting new engine mounts anyway though. Can't really go wrong with poly urethane.

I have a fun story about engine mounts. My old 65 mustang had a engine mount brake and i didn't know, so i took off fast one day and bunch of steam started pouring out of my engine. I opened the hood and my upper radiator hose was cut in half. I was like what the heck. Not even thinking about the engine mounts i put a new hose on and the car was fine and then it happened again a week or so later. and my friends dad came over to look and put his hand under my engine and lifed it. one mount was broke so the eninge was lifting and the fan was slicing the radiator hose. So needless to say i replaced the engine mounts and it didn't happen again.

thats the color he said it was, originally at least. It's on its third or fourth coat of paint, and it wasn't matched to the original

that car was sweet before, but its really gonna be a beast now. He's even looking at megasquirt down the line for more horseses

I'll post a thread about it sometime. He's also replacing his busted C4 with a T5
