What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

[cobrajeff96]

I just washed it and drove it today . Time for some suspension changes . This thing doesn’t work nearly as good as I expect on the street . Weight transfer is non existent

Judging by the pic backgrounds I bet there's a lot of nice cruising roads where you are.

Tons of twistys . I live in a small town of like 2500 people . My road is a highway . I can make test passes on it one after another . I also need to change one of my door switches . Planning on stealing it outta the cobra .

Finally spring even here in Gothenburg, very late this year. Got the car back from paintshop, bumpers, hood, scoop and rear wing got new paint. Rest was good enough and the painter promised to mix the colour right and he did a really good job.

Had a sudden urge to just get in it and drive.

So I did.

Was good.

Drove it a bit , did a good burnout and then stood on it through a couple gears and boom was like hit a wall as grabbed 4th wide open . Pulled the car back in the shop as I hear fedex show up With my parts . Hi rev valve springs , torque box reinforcements and a new aeromotive stealth 340lph pump with wiring upgrade . Guess I got some work to do .

Drove the piss out of it until it fought back. More tune troubleshooting is in order.

You know i have been nothing but ArmorAll on the cars when I wash
That stuff removes a lot dust dirt spots road grime
And it it leaves a good finish withe shammi
I use hot water with it

Changed the plugs back to stock with a wider gap (.045” vs .040”) for science, basically..

Trying to tame the beast…

The lever on the back of the passenger seat has a plastic frame around the lever. It was missing its screw. I pulled the one on the driver's side and found a close match in my container of screws. So now the frame doesn't woggle around anymore. Washed it today, too.

Washed and F11 the car then topped off the spare tire.

1- Finished running all wires for amp.
2- Wired amp in.
3- Apparently, theres a factory amp??... removed amp. Wired speakers back to stereo. (and now no audio... saved for later)
4- Decided to move the 12v port from ash tray to shift cover.
5- Rewired 12v port (after cleaning all the crap out of it)
6- Remounted rearview "mirror".
7- Flipped backup camera I previously installed. (50/50 chance and still got it wrong. My usual luck)
8- Reinstalled the rear seat.
9- Vaccumed half the car out.
10- Went for a a drive.
11- Put a little gas in it.
12- Washed it in the dark.


Only way to get the 12v port in there and clear the supports in the dash.... Makes it uneven, but I don't have an OCD...


Flipped camera bracket on back of camera so I could get it aimed down a bit.


The replacement "mirror" installed...



With all the work I did on the exhaust a few weeks ago, it actually sounds good again. Wife even said it sounds better... and she's hearing impaired. LOL

I also threw a fresh set of plugs in but tightened the gap up up .025 hoping for good things .

What kind of mirror is that? Are you a coupe or convertible?

Well I put the "Smart Charger" on the battery and charged it to "Full" before it automatically shut off. So , the battery is up and the car is ready to go. After beautiful warm weather we have some snow flurries today , but next week is supposed to be nice so the car will come out to be washed and the insurance will be put back on for the summer

Drove it to work and could actually see where I was going

I went out to the car today, opened a bag of parts to install and realized every single one of them was the wrong size. Back in the bag they went, and another order was made.
