Det_Riot Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Damn dude, that's quite the collection of parts! Id be ecstatic to have that many things waiting to be installed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper95svt Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Thanks man. Good part of my job is I make good amount of money from working Mon-Sun 12hr days. Bad part is I travel a lot and haven't been home for more than a few days since last May. I figure ill stay in this position and load my account then move up and not have to travel and make good money at the same time. ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper95svt Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 EDIT: I was chatty Kathy with a SVT performance member who recommended I do not buy the "Steeda Adjustable Clutch kit" explained himself and I did alittle google research and just ordered the "Maximum Motorsports Adjustable Clutch Kit" Price difference was minimal for the headaches it will save. So.... have a Steeda clutch cable kit for sale. :rolleyes-new: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copmagnet Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Agreed, I also just purchased a mm kit over the steeda! Pretty jealous. With my pay grade ill never be able to order that many parts in a year.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper95svt Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Today I got more parts in the mail. I hooked up with Prestige Mustang and they sent out a new Speedo Cluster Bezel with no alarm hole drilled in it. As well as two factory tail lights. Previous owner installed really ugly ones. Ill put up compairo pics when I can get home to install. Very good prices and very happy with the "used" parts. They look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 damn those lights are clean! I would hooked you up with my old set if I had my export tails on. Keep us updated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper95svt Posted April 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Will do. After looking at them closely, im thinking they didn't come off a Cobra like stated. Looks like more of a pearl white. I saw it a lot of Toyota/Lexus vehicles. They might look weird on my car. We'll see though. Im happy they are nice though. They have five or six crashed 94/95 cobras on site. Its where I will buy all my used parts I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper95svt Posted April 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) So wanted to try a "shifter gasket" always using silicone I wanted to see if maybe it made a difference. Went to American Muscle and bought their 16 dollar gasket set. Wow was I disgusted. Im a machinist.... looking at this piece of garbage they sent me made me mad. Its not even proportionate. None of the holes punched out of this thing were even the same size. So I used the cad machine and entered in all the dimensions I wanted and used a piece of 1/16 garlock gasket material ( Type II – Gaskets not exposed to steam for (1) water service applications up to 300 °F and 1800 psig, (2) lube oil service up to 250 °F and 150 psig, and (3) hydraulic oil service up to 180 °F and 600 psig ) as my new gasket. I made four of them. I cant wait to try it out on my Cobra. Edited April 20, 2013 by Casper95svt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper95svt Posted April 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Not too much to update. I got my SVT certificate in the mail, along with brand new white tail lights. The used ones I bought are a metallic pearl white. Wouldn't match my car very well. Didn't realize I would buy prepainted brand new tail lights. They are nice.

Casper95svt Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 So changed the headlights, from the LX/GT ones to Cobra headlights and newer side markers. Changed out the bulbs in the cluster to LEDs, Changed the horrible tail lights back to stock. BBK Fuel pressure gauge, KN breather, new air filter, changed Multi function switch so my wipers work again, changed the drivers side arm rest bezel, speedo cluster bezel had a alarm hole and a cobra badge kinda silly didn't want it, changed from white hurst ball to a leather wrapped terminator knob. Going to do more tomorrow. Tired from the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved my '95 horizontal tails, but something about my '98 and the vertical tails has me liking them more and more. I watched my wife drive away yesterday and realized how good the ass end looked with the vertical tails. lolSent from my secretary!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
