NICE BUILD. Where did you get this from? Looks trick.

That's the old "I-Squared" version 2 power unit. Chris patented the design I think, and it's latest reincarnation is the ISIS box products:

I have the original box, which is rather bulky by comparison but so far, no problems after 7000 miles. Very happy with how this system works. Only wished ISIS was around 4 years ago!!!

ICBomber, I would love to swing by to see your ffr. I live near by in sothern albany county. My wife is from your neck of the woods on New Road. We visited ffr 5years ago when I wanted the spyder. That idea fizzeled when I was reading unhappy posts about backorder after backorder and so on. So now Im back to the original plan of a cobra and looking for some advice. Kevin

Kevin,

You are more than welcomed to come over and see my build, hopefully it will be going out to paint shortly (BRG w/silver stripes, so look for more build updates soon) but I have another buddy close by that is "building" a FFR Mark III. I was a slow builder, so back-orders were not a problem with my build. The FFR kit still requires some "tweaking" to make somethings fit right but in hindsight it was part of the fun!

BTW I have been keeping a list of all Cobra owners/builders in the Albany, NY area, (over 20) so when you begin your build there will be plenty of help/advice!

Pat

Build Update 3-13-10

Body is off for paint! I met another local FFR builder and he and buddy are taking care of the body/paint work for me and at a price that can't be beat:D. Figure they will be done within 6 weeks. The paint color will be Jaguar Racing Green with Mazda Silver Frost stripes.

Going with a "rivet" on hood scoop.

Since the body is off, I took the time to add "Whitby's" passenger's foot-box extension

More to follow!

Malachite Green/jaguar green, great choice for color. Mine was originally that color, wish I would have kept it.

ICBomber90 05-23-2010 11:07 AM

Still have a few odds and end to finish up, but no one but me would know. Here's the just about finish product....

Steve,

Thanks for the kind words, I'm located near Albany, in East Greenbush. Are you planning on going to the Lake George Run July 10-12. Great time. Closer to you, I'm also planning on going to "Snakes & Grapes" along Lake Seneca August 1 &2, never been but the wife is a huge wine fan and she is looking forward to the wineries.

I stopped along the way to Kent, CT and snapped a few shots at an abandon stone house.

Met up with 5 other Cobra owners and went for a nice little drive in Northwest CT & Southwest MA.
