Thanks guys! OMG i can't believe how easy it is to get that top bolt out of the starter. I went and bought two long extensions and a u-joint swivel attachment and it literally took me 2 minutes to get the bolt off! hahaha Don't even ask me how many hours i spent yesterday afternoon with it... I could probably take it off and put a new one on in 15 minutes or so now. Geez...

As far as the oil leak goes i'm not positive it's the rear main seal. But it seems to be coming from the rear of the engine and is blowing onto the tranny.
I've got an appt at a local mustang shop in a couple weeks. So they'll be able to diagnose it better than i can.

Enjoy man, glad to see you get into another one.

Oh wow didn't see that. That must of been who the guy that i bought it from bought it. The guy i bought it from only put 40-50 miles on the car for the year or so that he owned it.
The car is in great shape. It does have some mods though which i'm trying to get rid of. But other than that the body and interior are really nice! It does have some cracks in the paint on the hood though, which i will be addressing.

Yes. No wonder the ride is so harsh. Anyone have some stock springs?

Mines the same way...it makes me wonder why someone would spend money to make the car ride worse.

It does look good. But those springs and the exhaust HAVE TO GO! Or i'm selling the car. No f'n doubt. It gives me a damn headache driving it. lol

What's springs and shocks are in it Trackpilot?

I have H&R Sports (not super sports) and Tokico Blues struts and shocks on mine, it rides really nice with this combo.

I guess I was talking more about the loss of travel that I get with the lowered suspension.

You guys must go off-road in your cars or something. I don't think I could bring myself to raise a Cobra back up to factory 4x4 specs. Lol

Ride quality has everything to with struts/shocks and less to do with spring rates and suspension travel. If you like the look but hate the ride, might be time for some new struts and shocks?

Congrats and hope you get the starter issue taken care of!

I just found out they are Eibach springs.
The shocks and struts appear to be factory.

Yeah i know what your saying about the factory stance. Do you think the struts and shocks are bad then? I don't know. It's not a horrible ride but it's not like my old cobra.

No kidding, this is harder than just not having one, hopefully it will be on a truck by mid week
