My Terminator Cobra Build.

[Venom351R]

For those who do not know I recently purchased an 04 Torch Red SVT Terminator Cobra. It does have a few mods but there is still a lot left to do to make it the way I want it. The end goal is a 600+ RWHP street car powered by a VMP Gen3R. The VMP and all the supporting mods for it is a longer term projection so as of now I'll focus more on what's actually done to it from the time I got it and what I'll be doing with it short term before it is put up for the winter ( )

Current Mods: Full Tilt Boogie Racing IRS Bushings. O/R X pipe. Flowmaster exhaust. Diff brace. Pro 5.0 shifter. Maximum Motorsports caster camber plates. K&N cold air kit. Black Chrome FR500's 18x10 and 18x9. Brembo 2000 Cobra R brakes ( 4 piston ). Afco heat exchanger expansion take. Afco Radiator expansion tank. Afco Pro Series heat exchanger.

List of what I have bought that is going on soon: Borla Stinger catback system. Billetflow 4 piece idler set. Toyo R888R's ( 305/35/18). Current tires R888's are old with a manufacture date of 2014 and are dry rotted and worn out. Without even pushing a lot of power it does not like to hook at all due to this.

Near Future mods that are planned before winter. JLT Ram air intake, SCT BA 3000 MAF. Billetflow 2.76 supercharger pulley. New Dyno tune.

I'll update with other mods as I get them over the winter months for plans for next year.

god damn im a sucker for some FR500's, car looks super clean!

 

[Venom351R]

Thanks. I really like the FR500's especially in black chrome like these ones. The car has a few imperfections paint wise but I'll be addressing all of that at a later time

Nice! The FR500's really do pop.

Few more pics of the FR500's. The bottom two pics were after claybaring them and a wax. Whole car was done as well.

Had some new parts come in last night. I'll post them later I'm at work today

 

[doggiedoc]

Have to say that’s a nice looking car!

 

[joe65]

not too shabby! Damn.

The idler pulley set and snub idler arrived. These won't be going on until I get the 2.76 pulley on which I'm ordering this coming week. The 2.76 with this idler kit retains the stock belt so I don't have to use a different size one for only a short time.

I was seriously considering the FR500’s, but in grey. Thinking it’d be nice to break up the new all-too-common fully blacked out look

 

[Venom351R]

Cobra's getting new shoes on the rear tomorrow. Gawd these girls are phat!!!

 

[Daryl]

OMG! They’re obscene! Too cool. What size are they?

 

[RAU03MACH]

looks like 12.5 wide to me

 

[evilcw311]

315’s

that's a good looking tire too!

305/35/18's. Wanted to keep the current 315 width it has now but the 315's are sold out everywhere and on back order until who knows when. Really not much difference with a 305/315 anyway. The tires are going on this morning. Hard finding a shop around here that will not screw your wheels up when installing low profile tires

New Borla exhaust with the Bassani catted X pipe were installed yesterday, my god what a massive difference from the American Thunder crapmasters and absolutely horrid mid pipe that was on it before. Poor engine was being choked to death. I'm working on a video now of the difference between the two systems. One of those things when pics do not tell the story so I'll post the video once I have it uploaded to youtube next week.

In all of Louisville we only have one store with a truly touch less machine that can do my tires on my black chrome without leaving marks. They also do what’s called a “perfect balance” with all weights out of sight.

Amazes me in this day and age that all shops aren’t properly set up as all cars come with low profile now.

yeah shocks me that there are not more places with the right equipment to do this with as many low profile tires used on such a wide variety of cars now. Shocks me that the Ford dealerships do not specialize in this after selling GT350's an GT500's. I went to a place that's actually for powder coating, they do a lot of wheels so they have a nice machine there.
