What’s going on everyone. I have this car posted on the new member rides and some info on the 4V tech forum but I figured I’d move everything into one spot to make it easy to follow.
Long story short, I detailed my 1996 Mustang Cobra back in 2016 when the previous owner brought it to me to detail after her husband passed away and the car had just been sitting for years. Car had 15k original miles and being that it’s one of my dream cars I told her that if she ever wanted to let it go, to contact me first. 4 years later I got the phone call and I went and picked it up. These are some of the pics from the day I bought it:
This car was very well put together. The previous owner definitely did not spare any money when building the car and all the work was done with quality. The car came supercharged with an a Vortech V1, an air to water cooler, and a bunch of other goodies which I’ll list later on. The motor was hurt. Had a tapping sound that came from the drivers side rear valve cover and I later discovered the cylinders 6,7,& 8 all had low compression.
As soon as I got the car back to my garage I started taking part the suspension as it needed some updating. Went with BC coilovers and swapped the front control arms for tubular ones from BMR Racing.
After getting it dialed in:
Next came wheels which came in the form of Set of Cosmis Racing XT-006r wheels, 18x9 Fronts and 18x11 rears with Nitto Tires all around. (I’ll post exact specs later in the thread.) I wanted a nice aggressive stance but I didn’t want to dump the car and make it undrivable. This is how it currently sits:
I’ll continue on the next post. Hope you guys like what you see so far.
