Finally finished
2 Attachment(s)
Finally finished with the MK4... had thoughts of selling along the way and so glad I decided against it, I love the car and came out just how I wanted it.
I have my level 2 inspection this coming week, had it out for a few short rides and it runs out and drives great.
I am still in need of a local "coyote tuner" again the car runs great but does run a bit rich (I can smell it) and the idle is too high ( about 900 rpm)
I reached out to a few recommendations but had no reply contact.
I am in the far northwest valley (Surprise) so if it can be tuned at my house or close great, I would also bring it where needed and will pay well either way.
Any help would be appreciated and looking forward to getting out there and meeting some of you.
Gen 1 coyote new through FFR complete kit

Looks great Robert. Perhaps your coyote specialist is at your local Surprise Ford Dealer Service Dept?

Thanks Bob, I am of the impression through conversations that's not really a possibility... unless a "side job"
This being a FFR with a JDM tune wouldn't be something a dealership would take as a job.

Nice!
Congrats on getting it finished. Looks great!

Good idea spdbrake. I had my GT500 on their dyno. Looks like a knowledgeable performance shop.

The car looks great. The MK4 body is really nicely proportioned and makes a great looking car.

It is a beautiful car! I have been on the fence a couple of times myself about letting go of my project. But I really need to see it thru as you did.

RobertK....always remember that the car wants to kill you. NEVER hit the loud pedal until the car is going straight. My 2¢
That being said, enjoy the hellllout of the car. I'm closing in on 90,000 miles on my second Cobra and it still makes me smile with every mile. :)

I'm still on the hunt for a tuner at the moment, I did message with Keith at Modern Performance and will use them if it comes down to it.
They don't take appointments... it's just a drop off process and they will get to it, I travel for work and have to arrange a truck/trailer for transport, its just difficult while traveling to schedule this without an appointment. I am also not thrilled about just leaving my car for days for a 2-5 hour procedure... again will use them if I can't find another but still looking for now.

Awesome and thanks so much... I've had multiple Vipers over the past several years including Gen 1 and 2 so I got used to that kind of driving and frankly love that about these cars. I am not a very aggressive driver on the streets just spirited. I was worried about over driving this car with the hydro brakes and power steering but love it now. |

Thank you, I'm loving it so far... it's been a blast though a little hot out.
I see your in Carefree area, once the weather cools a bit I'm usually up in Cave Creek on the bike or in the car, maybe I will see you up there in yours |

Several of us drive frequently early in the morning. Let us know if. You want company. I like. Running out to Bartlett lake then back to the grotto for breakfast. Let me know.
