Cobra is my favorite Fox wing, my brother runs one on his '86 GT and I had planned on converting mine to a '93 Cobra body kit. I actually have a real '93 Cobra wing and front fender extenders but sold a Stalker front (to Wick) and have decided to stay with the LX look.
Its somewhere in the classifieds, PM me if you're interested.

Rolling, no. Running, yes. I posted a vid in my thread of the idle. It needs tuned. I got my appointment for the 19th at SGS. I figure I will leave it in Daves hands. Everything else is basically done up front. Still have the rear to do but that will come after the tune..

Well I went to M-D today. Wasn't a bad haul other then all the hills. Took me two and a half hours. It was a TNT and they just let you run as much as you want. When ever you're ready you just go to the lanes and go. You have to suit up in the pits because when you get to the lanes you're going lol.

First pass was the best 10.94 in the 1/4 and 6.88 in the 1/8 with a 1.44 60ft. The car is very very lean so I need to fix that problem and it pulls to the left going down the track. So I have some work to do to get it running right.

What do you guys think these plugs look like if it were in your car.

The two that are brown were the only two that were wet when I pulled the plugs after I cycled the key without starting it. These plugs have seven runs on them.

**Ares** · 03-28-2010, 12:57 PM

Not bad for first pass. Just some more suspension tweaking.

As for the plugs the pic isn't the clearest but 6 of those look to have some brown to them. If anything 2 cylinders may not be firing right. Again it may be worth pulling fuel rails and make sure they are clean of dirt/debris. You neve know what may have been in fuel lines between tank and rails.

good times what was your mph? and do you have a tune on the car ? why do you think it went lean ? glad to see your in the 10's first time out i like mason its only an hour for me.

**Balaska347** · 03-28-2010, 08:12 PM

I thought I was lean because the plugs were so white after a pass but after doing alot of reading on how to really read plugs I think it is just right. The mph was 119.8 which is not what i was expecting. I figured about 121mph. The car has some suspension issues. Its pulls to the left the whole way down the track so Im fighting it the whole way. I think I should be able to fix that the next time out. Im thinking I might need to go bigger with the cam.

**yeahloh95** · 03-28-2010, 09:31 PM

did you have the car 4 wheel aligned ?

**Balaska347** · 03-28-2010, 10:25 PM

I just had the front done. The car drives fine under normal driving conditions. Its only under power that it pulls to the left. I think its going to be in the lower control arms. I might have the driver side a little longer then the passanger which would have the rear cocked.

**biminiLX** · 03-31-2010, 03:38 PM

Congrats on the 10 the first time out, that is great!
I'm sure you'll get everthing else sorted out.
Do you have an ARB? That could cause it to push downtrack no?

I guessing the problem is the three cracks in the driverside torque box after one trip to the track. It also pulled away from the floor a 1/2 inch. Also broke the driverside shock mount. Ill post more pics tomorrow.
