Talking My Cobra is alive !

Hi All,

After several months of frustration with the ECU and sensors on my engine it is finally running and it sounds awsome. I have to love being in WA, I have working legal sidepies. It should be a little less noisy with the bonnet on and outside the garage! The car is off to have the interior trim done in a couple of weeks, it won't be long now.

Cheers

Ross

Hi Beejay,

Western Australia is the only state that grants an ADR exemption for side pipes, I guess we are just lucky. The rules are tightening up over here, but I haven't heard anything about banning sidepipes yet.

Congratulations Ross,

Looks like the bar is set, if your starting your Cobra
for the first time, you have to get it on video.

Love the sound of that Windsor.

Quite a few red Cobra`s seem to be emerging.

Looks excellent

Regards

Nick

I am also fitting a 302 and would be very interested in any detail you have around your frustrations and how the problems were solved.
