That would be GREAT tony, but remember, I need a vert version! Just let keep me posted! Rick decided that he is going to keep his white vert in track form, and I can't blame him at all, with all that is done to that car, it would be a sin to pull the cage from it.

As for budget. From autopower or MM, with shipping I am looking at over $500, I have only found one for sale, and that one requires welding, and is still going to cost me $400. So anything that saves me any more cash would be great.

hey mike, do you have braided or steel brake lines yet? Just curious if your on top of it yet?

mojosvt · 03-08-2008, 08:47 AM

Yeah, you might have seen this car in person, it is Mike Redinger's old car

"NAS T 97"

When he had all the work done at Kenny Brown, he also had the 2000 Cobra R Brembo 4 piston calipers installed on the front, and those come with the lines as well. So I am ready to go other than the rollbar!

Stavesacre21 · 03-08-2008, 08:53 AM

so jealous! i'm still in search for a cheap (price not quality) set around. That looks to be the last thing i need. Cept maybe that helmet too

mojosvt · 03-08-2008, 09:20 PM

I know, I need to purchase a helmet here soon as well. I just sold my motorcycle hemlet on craigslist to help with the cost. Fricken SA-05 helmets aren't cheap!

Stavesacre21 · 03-09-2008, 02:47 AM

Is that the new standard? I thought Snell-2000 was the requirement now.

mojosvt · 03-09-2008, 09:35 AM

Sa-2000 helmets ar good through 2010. I figured, if I am going to drop money on a helmet, might as well spend the extra money and get a helmet good through 2015

Stavesacre21 · 03-09-2008, 11:19 AM

dually noted. glad to hear that now that i was about to throw down 2-300 on a snell-2000 helmet

**cobrabitn** · 03-09-2008, 06:37 PM

I think I actually have already talked to that guy. He doesn't want to ship, and if he did, the price would be close to the same as ordering one from MM or autopower, so I might as well drop the extra 30-40 buck to get one with a harness bar. If he was closer, it would be in the garage!

Stavesacre21 · 03-12-2008, 11:29 AM

Hey tony, i've got an old set of tires that i've really been wanting to get rid of, but i'm a little concerned that they might not last the whole weekend. Looking for your thoughts on it...as well as anyone else who's reading this with any track knowledge.

My front set right now have just a little over 1/8" left and about 3/16" left on the rears. Front/rears are interchangable. Nothing would be worse then coming down only to find out that it's not gonna cut it. Thoughts?

I've just been wanting to burn these off for some time now, and thought this would be an awesome chance to do so.

BTW - for the LIFE OF ME, i cannot find a set of REAR brake lines for the 96-98 cobras. TONS of front brake line sets, but no rear sets anywhere. Where on earth am i to look for these? How important is it that the rear lines are braided?

**cobrabitn** · 03-12-2008, 08:56 PM

It's not as important for the rear lines be braided but I do recommend that you replace the rear ones with new factory lines. You can get stock replacements from NAPA as that is where I got mine last year and they are exact in every way.

On the tires, I would put the better ones up front and the ones with 1/8 on the rear. I plan on buying new tires before this event so I'll bring 4 spares with me and if you cord a tire, you can just use one of my spares to finish off the weekend. I'm assuming you are talking about race rubber, right? If not, then you can borrow my race rubber for the weekend. They are on 17 X 9 Cobra R rims.
