Default Technical Stuff?

Has anyone noticed how few technical questions we have had lately? Seems as though this forum has becomes more social during the dark months.

I guess most Cobra owners can solve all their own problems without any help these days or it is just too darn cold to get in our garages and grab an even colder piece of steel. Not to mention the shock we get when we plant our a$$ on some cold concrete floor. But, alas warm temps and racing season will be starting soon. Spring is just around the corner!

Default Tech Stuff

Clois - You're Right Spring is just around the corner and we'd better get off our butts, fire-up the electric garage heaters, and resolve our tech questions now if we're gonna make Nashville in May. -Aggressor

I noticed this too, as it gets cold, cobras stay in their holes until it gets warm again. No problems are found when the cars are not being used.

When we have a nice day here I get out and drive knowing full well that I have a new set of bigger brakes to install. I need to resolve my expansion tank problem. I cross threaded my #5 spark plug threads on my Edelbrock head and I need to pull it and have it fixed (but it is working fine now and I really don't want to pull a head when it is only nice three or four days a month. Besides I will need to put all new gaskets on when I do that and .....(more pi$$ and moaning).

Gary,

I just got the info on Nashville and I am trying to decide between it and Road America...different times but my wife is telling me until I start getting paid for racing I am going to have to narrow my want list! I hate it when she makes sense.

Default Nashville

My biggest tech problem at the moment is convincing my wife that the 14-15 hour drive to Nashville in the *Cobra is a good thing.
Like any problem it will have a satisfactory solution.

Explain to your wife that there are certain essential elements necessary for human life to exist on this planet.

Geary,

I think I will try your approach on Valentines day...You know that big suck up day when we try make amends for all the BS we lay on them during the prior 364 days.

Clois-
Just wait. I am supposed to get my car end of April or early May. Once I get it, there will be so many tech questions posted, you will wish for the social discussions of the dark months.
