We originally had planned to leave the 8.8 live axle in the car but changed our minds and decided to install an IRS from an '03 Cobra. Here is the picture of it in place and mocked up. It will be removed again so that we can paint but we wanted to get it mocked up and in place so that we could get everything set up and mounted before painting.

 

very cool

 

are you gonna use stock half-shafts or something like DSS level 5's?

 

I don't think we'll have a problem with the stock 31 spline shafts as this car is set up for open track and not a drag car. This IRS unit only has 700 miles on it so everything is basically new.

 

Is that the IRS thats been at the shop or did someone I Know swap out to a live axle?

 

Very good idea, now throw on more SVT 10th anniversary stuff on that Cobra. (a Terminator-spec'd "Aluminator" shortblock? )

 

AWWWEEEESSSSOMMMMEEE

 

That is the same one that we have had out here at the shop .

But there is a swap out in the works between 2 customers right now...one going live axle and the other getting the IRS...

 

When this things done i think you should have a lottery and give it to someone on TMS.



And by someone i mean someone whos currently driving a chevy but would love to get into a cobra instead...

 

I dont think the owner would appreciate us giving his car away Although i'd gladly take the other cobRa he has.

 

the IRS seems like a good idea
