Looks great Poisoned! Cobras are the best.

 

[Poisoned Pony]

Thanks, yeah I decided to go a different route with this one. No crazy horsepower, just a well balanced car

 

[Poisoned Pony]

O/R H on. Video coming soon

 

[Knuckles@Empire]

wered you get this H pipe from?

 

[Poisoned Pony]

wered you get this H pipe from?

used from the previous owner. I think he said it was a BBK

Slight update: Cobra has the stock H-pipe on for emissions testing, oh the joys of living in California.

Mods-wise, picked up a set of '03-'04 heads, they're at the machine shop getting cleaned up and some slight port work. Now saving up the cash for a C-head intake and researching cams. Also, starting to gather interior parts for a black interior swap. I officially can't stand the peanut-butter shade of my interior anymore.

Update

The Cobra has been MGW'd!

My friend sold his '93 LX and we ended up trading shifters. He got my Tri-Ax shifter and I get his MGW. The MGW is so much shorter height wise than the Steeda, and alot smoother!

Clean ride man, love the plate frame lol.

 

[Knuckles@Empire]

I think ive been meaning to ask you, but what was the reasoning behind swapping out the b heads?

I think ive been meaning to ask you, but what was the reasoning behind swapping out the b heads?

probably to lose the IMRC's and get some down low power. Part of the reason I'm going that way, that and to do an eaton.

 

[Poisoned Pony]

Clean ride man, love the plate frame lol.

thanks man, I actually put it back on the car today

I think ive been meaning to ask you, but what was the reasoning behind swapping out the b heads?

just putting together an N/A package. I've seen some C-swapped cars make around 350-370rwhp N/A which is what I want for my uses.

Washed the car last night for a meet today

...aaaaaand the paint decided it didn't want to be apart of the car no more
