New To the Cobra experience and the Site

Maxxb0y · 09-26-2007, 03:41 PM

Hello all, I am Brian, AKA Maxxb0y. I just recently purchased a 1996 Cobra SVT for 5K. It needs some tlc but in all its a good car. I just got it back from the shop and had to spend 1200 dollars to fix the serpintine belt and the rear end that had leaks in every posible spot. not that this is done, the good side of the car. The engine is strong and no leaks, tranny is good and the read has a 4:10 gear in it. This car has Flowmasters and a shift kit on it. though its more than a few years old the paint is not in bad shape. I have Nitto 555R drag radials on order and expect them to be on this weekend. I am looking into getting new drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads this weekend as well.
Thats a little about the car to gicve some idea of what I have to start with. I did upgrade in cars . I had a 1994 acura integrathat dies and thats the best place for it. I now know that I was missing.I did nt say where im am... Im in Richmond, Va,.
