Wtb: 03/04 cobra

[SlowSix]

Unfortunately not for me.

Gf's brother is looking for a terminator. Stock or light mods preferred, no verts. He is trying to keep it around 20k.

Let me know if you have any leads, I can get you in contact with him.

[Terminated]

SVTPerformance is probably his best bet. Don't go on Facebook cus people are asking $20k for 100k mile cars.

Yeah I told him to look on svtp and corral.
He was looking on eBay and wants to go look at a silver 03 in NC. It has what looks to be a Whipple, a nitrous setup, and a 4 point. I told him he should probably avoid that car like the plague.

Out of what he wants to pay, and I don't think he wants a turbo car

[silvernotch]

I actually found mine on craigslist,it was in South Carolina owner was a retired school teacher. Try craigslist search tempest

[Stangman701]

This is another good place to look. These guys buy and sell tons of terminators... http://www.hi-endauto.com/fords

Yeah I would run away from anything that looks like someone else's ticking time bomb, or the "all parts have 500 miles on em" meaning they're not time tested. Light mods are good, no SRA shit, you know big turbo/big blower cars have been abused.

2nd this, I called this guy when I was looking for mine but he didn't have anything I wanted specifically. I ended up getting mine off of SVTPerformance, but it took a long while of waiting for the right one.

[SlowSix]

Well, I just talked to him tonight.
I guess he bought the one on eBay with the 4 point and big blower.
I foresee this going very poorly.

Thanks anyways everyone.

eBay link?

Hopefully the fit and finish of that car doesn't speak of how it was actually cared for.

We shall see. I think he is trying to get the car delivered this week. I have a feeling it is going to be rough. Hopefully for him it at least runs correctly. I'll probably check it out next weekend or something if he gets it. I'm curious to look over the car and see if it was done correctly or half assed. I am also curious as to if their are any signs of this supposed built motor.

I told him he should take it to Tim and have him put it on the dyno and datalog it to make sure this thing isn't a time bomb before he starts beating on it.

[Cam99]

I have had 0.0% luck buying modded terminators. I hope he has better luck than me

[PaxtonShelby]

Buying a modded Termi....that's just crazy talk.... :sticktonge:

[TooFast98Cobra]

Got one!

Getting it delivered Friday. We shall see lol

[2000GT]

Not yet, no.
Car hauling company was supposed to deliver it Friday, now I guess it isn't coming until Monday. If it does come, I will probably check it out next weekend.

[SlowSix]

So update, saw the car this weekend.
Body isn't too bad. Couple scratches. Ding or two. Underneath is average.

Interior isn't great. Cage is missing the door bars. Radio isn't attached to anything. A pillar pod is a speed of sound but one of the clips is broken so it isn't really attached.
AEM wideband on the steering column, but it doesn't read correctly. Cage looks installed decently. Drivers side seat (corbeau) isn't in great shape anymore. The front cup holder had a nitrous switch panel in it.

Mods from what I can tell -
Whipple 2.3
SCT big air MAF
Aftermarket coolant expansion tanks
Catch can
Bbk longtubes, catted x pipe, magna flow catback.
IRS looks stock.
American muscle black Cobra wheels.
Had nitrous but no bottle, he pulled all of the wiring out already.
Kenne bell boost a spark, kenne bell boost a pump
Msd tach driver but no big tach. Has a shift light though.

Didn't drive it at all. Car is up on jackstands at the moment.
Not sure what clutch is in it but the pedal is rock hard. Steeda tri ax shifter.

[sutyak]

Sounds rough. Difficult to find a pristine modified car at a reasonable price.

Sounds like Ron bought it.

Hahahaha!! Lol!!! Dan's back! :awsome::pepper:

[SlowSix]

Yeah overall I'd say I'd probably give the car a 6-7/10. I guess he got the wideband working today, just needed a new sensor.

I will say even though my car is cleaner, I'm slightly jealous because this car probably makes 600+ wheel if it runs right.
I want to go fast. :(

[SlowSix]

Drove this car briefly last night. Seemingly runs pretty well. Hard to keep an eye on the road and the a/f gauge since it is on the steering column.

The shifter feels. Idk. Off. Sloppy or something. I think it has a tri ax but just doesn't feel right. Maybe I'm just not used to the t56 idk.
The clutch pedal is hard as a rock. Like to the point I wonder if the clutch cable is bad. Is it typical for these cars to have a crazy pedal pressure with an aftermarket clutch ?

Car pulls pretty good though. Doesn't spin as much as I was expecting from an IRS car, but I only punched it in 2nd and 3rd.

[GOT SVT]

i had a steeda tirax in my terminator and got rid of it

i also had an aftermarket clutch and was heavy, i think it was a centerforce dx?

[SlowSix]

Don't know what clutch is in the car.
I have driven some aftermarket clutch cars but it just seems absurdly stiff to me. Like I almost can't get the pedal to the floor stiff

[PaxtonShelby]

That doesn't seem right. Wonder if it is hanging up and getting ready to fail. Can you squirt some PB blaster inside the top of it and let gravity lube it?

[TooFast98Cobra]

Probably a spec brand clutch

[wick]

Probably a melted cable. I'll bet money on it actually.

Dunno, I didn't mess with it or crawl under and look at the cable at all. He looked at it today and said it has a BBK firewall adjuster and quadrant


Probably a melted cable. I'll bet money on it actually.

That was what I told him, it feels like the cable is bad. I drove a foxbody with a bad cable and it felt similar, could barely move the pedal.
I think he may order a cable, not sure. I told him he needs to get a ford one. I got the OEM one from maximum motorsports when mine melted

[wick]

OEM only. Nothing else. This is speaking from experience.

[SlowSix]

Yup. The one maximum motorsports sells is a Ford cable.

It sure is. I went through the cable woes. It sucks. Drove to the track and it went bad on the way there one time.

Work of advice...Wrap it for extra insurance.

Yeah I put some exhaust wrap on mine. It broke on a massive hill and I had to jump the car started in gear to get it into a parking lot and had it towed home.

He told me last night he ordered a new cable.

[TooFast98Cobra]

Does he want some 18' ccws?

[SlowSix]

I doubt he has the money for them. Those are some nice wheels though lol

This is a good word of advice for more than just clutch cables!! A guy at work found this out when his wife skipped her pills.........

Hahahahahahaha!!!!!
Bastard. I'm out right now with my son. There are a lot of people around and I busted out laughing reading that. Hahahahaha!!!!

[SlowSix]

He got his clutch cable and installed it. Said the pedal feels much better.
Going to Rodeheaver's next Friday for dyno time and tune if necessary. We are unsure if the car is tuned. Didn't come with a handheld. Thought it might have a chip but he said there wasn't one.
