Paul Riva has a new toy, and I wish my Cobra looked, ran, and handled as good as his. Check out more on his ride after the jump...
I picked up a '94 Cobra earlier this year with the intent to use it as a nice day driver as well as an autocross project. Well, its been an uphill battle to get it where it is now, but it is all buttoned up and I took it out to my first race of the year this weekend. The car was 100% stock when I got it with 154K miles. I didn't intend to do much to it this year, but as you will see below that didn't happen. LOL! Here's the mods I've done to it:
-Maximum Motorsports (MM) 4 bolt CC plates with the following specs: 4.8* caster, 1.6* camber, zero toe
-Koni sport single adjustable struts
-MM front coil-over kit with 10" 425lb springs
-urethane rack bushings
-MM heavy duty torque arm
-MM full length subframe connectors
-MM panhard bar
-MM adjustable rear sway bar
-MM road race lower control arms
-MM/Bilstien rear shocks with 8" 325lb coil-over springs
-17X9 Anniversary cobra wheels with 275 Kuhmo V710 tires
Engine mods include:
-AFR 165 60cc heads from my old 302 combo in the yellow car
-home ported cobra intake
-1.7 cobra pedestal roller rockers (still the stock cam)
-new lunati timing chain
-Morpheus CAI power pipe
-65mm FMS throttle body
-FMS shorty headers
-Bassani offroad X pipe
-Summit cat back with magnaflow mufflers
-pro 5.0 shifter
-Mallory FPR set to 45lbs of FP (no idea if this is optimal, I just didn't want to lean it out under WOT)
-255lph high pressure Walbro fuel pump
