Got some pictures of my Superformance Cobra, Titanium w/ Indigo Blue stripes. #2589

Probably expecting it to produce somewhere around 480-500hp. Plently for me. http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/8931/dsc00246nq6.jpg http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/4097/dsc00247mc8.jpg http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/8779/dsc00248qk0.jpg http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/2374/dsc00249ao7.jpg http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/439/dsc00251wp8.jpg Car is now running, just waiting to get certified in IL. Just when I thought nothing could sound better than my 1969 Camaro with a 427, we started this thing up and it's amazing. :D Hope to get a video up soon. Lastly, any Cobra owners on the west side of IL, possibly on the IA/IL border or so, i'm located in the Quad Cities and have heard of a Cobra around here, just looking for anyone else out there. |
Saweeeeet. Everthing so nice and new, with no dirt. Even the garage is almost spotless! A lift and a drain in your garage? Super nice!
|
Car is awesome!! Very clean setup !! Conratulations !!
|
WOW :eek::eek: the cobra, the shop, the tools, the lift, the CLEAN EVERYTHING it is very impressive :D:D and congrats on your beautiful SPF ;)
|
Sweet car and garage. After 100 miles retorque the following;
1) half shaft bolts, if you find any loosen go back with loctite, a tell tale sign will be oil thrown on the under carriage. 2) drive shaft bolts 3) bellhousing to engine 4) bellhousing to transmission 5) driveshaft |
I second the tightening post!! Drive shaft bolts are famous for coming loose. A little blue loctite usually does the trick.
Beautiful car! Enjoy. |
Thanks for all of the comments, and i appreciate the info regarding tightening the bolts!
|
One other item:
Inspect all your brake calipers and ensure the banjo and bleed screws are tight and not leaking. I assume you know about the generic one's like motor mount bolts etc, steering linkage etc, assume nothing is tight. I also use a marker and mark the spinner relative to the center piece to make sure the spinners are not backing off. Needless to say once I am sure I am not taking the wheels off anymore then I will safety wire. Oh, make sure you grease your ball joints, upper and lower and the drive shaft has zerk fitting also. |
Beautiful car! Great color combination.
|
Gorgeous Cobra! Not a bad shop, either!
Congratulations and enjoy the "ride"! |
Great Pictures! What are all the knobs along the bottom of the dash? I know one is for wipers, one is for dash light dimmer, two are for cool air on each side. What are the other 2 for?
|
Heater/defroster control & heater fan control.
STL Mark |
Who cares about the car, I wish I had a garage like that. Why does it seem like everyone has an immaculate shop in their home garage?
By the way, nice car too! |
Very Nice !
What tires are on it ? I've see that tread before, maybe Michelin pilots or Mickey Thompson ? |
Very nice! Engine Factory 408?

I'm thinkin that ain't at the house. Floor drain and in ground lift usually mean pro shop. Nice lookin car and shop either way. |
Congratulations Richie18!! Is this a new motor or a new build? Just curious since I took delivery of my car just over a year ago and my chassis number is later.
|
Beautiful garage! looks like you will have to rig a new exhaust venting system:LOL:
All you need now is a TV and the man cave is complete! |
Once again i appreciate all the comments, to answer all the questions...

I know everyone loves pictures as do I, i'll take some more of the shop , the finished cobra, and show what else is lurking in there. Some hints to what else is in there 1) A coupe painted Le Mans Blue with white stripes packing a 427 2) A covertible, red with white coves packing a 283. 3) A mid engine car painted blue with an orange stripe 4) With side exhaust and over 500hp, its sound differs greatly from V8's. Take a guess and Check back late tonight for more photos and the answer to these hints! |
Well, the red with white coves with a 283 means you have a Corvette from '57-'61.
