nasty for sure, but you can slowly take care of that stuff as you replace things. again, at the boneyard, should be able to find the filter bracket to get a better one.

watch that radiator very closely. had 1, it leaked almost immediately...within a few weeks. they replaced it no problem. second one lasted a bit longer before it leaked. refunded my money and I got the new design mishimoto one and so far so good.

I'm going to order the upper & lower radiator hoses for my 96 Cobra today from AM most likely. If I remember correctly there were a couple smaller hoses in the same location as the radiator hoses? I'm sure 1 is for the expansion tank and I guess another for the crossover tube? I'll have to see if AM sells those 2 as well

Sweet, I must've missed it when I was looking. Thankfully I didn't order the hoses yet. Thankyou!

Actually no, I found a radiator & heater hose kit but I don't think that's what I'm looking for

I found the kit on Late Model Restoration finally for $140, everywhere else I saw only had the upper & lower hoses. This one has the hoses from the crossover & overflow as well

I bought a replacement radiator for my gt on ebay for 60 bucks shipped new. Car makes around 400rwhp with a blower and runs cool as can be. Just a thought :)

My car runs cool, I'm only getting a hose kit cuz I have a leak and all the hoses look pretty old. Like everything else on the car that im slowly replacing lol... which leads me to a Craigslist ad I responded to for brand new upper & lower rear control arms from CJ Pony parts for $85. I get to the guys house, check everything out and told me Merry Christmas & wouldn't take any money from me. He was just happy to get rid of them, and I got 2 sets of new Energy Suspension front lower control arm bushings for $20

Help please! I broke my e-brake cable. It was always difficult to pull and didn't seem to engage fully unless I pulled hard a couple extra notches and it's too close to my driver side. The rubber is gone in the console from it rubbing. I can see the snapped cable where the handle is. I couldn't find any good info on the net on how to just replace that. Thanks guys!

I found someone selling a used flowmaster exhaust with 40 series mufflers, which is what I'm looking for but he said he had them on a foxbody then changed the tailpipe hangers to go on a 98. I don't know if I should buy it if it looks correct or just wait till I have the money for a brand new exhaust. Any thoughts?

Sort of depends on the budget. If youre like me, scrounging around for the best deal and situation to feed the car habits, id say go for it.

So is this exhaust system factory hacked up tailpipe with welded mufflers? Or is it flowmaster tailpipes with altered exhaust hangers?
