95riosnake Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 I personally prefer polished tips, I've seen guys do blacked out exhaust tips but it doesn't do anything for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arayray Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 polish them things up. half the beauty of an IRS is to have those purdy exhaust pipes That's the plan. I think I'm going to go with new tips and have them powdercoated gloss black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arayray Posted December 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Today we got my IRS all back together and bolted up in. We swung it down and hoisted the car up in the air and assembled it, once everything was together we lowered the car and swung the IRS onto a jack and jacked it up into place. The rear bushings were very finicky and needed persuasion to go into place. I got everything installed, shocks, springs, rotors and brakes. We filled the diff with Royal Purple once it was up in place. The last few things to do are: Bleed the brakesInstall front springs & strutsOrderer mufflers, tips and polish exhaustPut the rear trunk gas door and interior back inRoute abs wires up into the rear seat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arayray Posted December 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 got a lot done in such a short time with that rear. good job! Thank you! I got the ABS wires routed up into the car and the rear seat back in, I also got the trunk interior all back together with the gas door back on. I need to get a thin piece of wood to put in the trunk to keep the carpet from falling into where the tire should be (i don't have a spare). I'm going to get some fresh 93 octane to put in the tank so I can get it started up and then we are going to bleed the brakes. Once that is done and I can get it down on the ground again I will get the front suspension done then work on the exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arayray Posted December 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Today I got the brakes bleed and there was no leaks! (Phew!) I also secured the ebrake cables up and out of the way, got the wheels back on and the car on the ground! We charged the battery up some and got it started, everything went smoothly. I just need to do the front springs/struts and get the exhaust done. The rear springs are still are the same ride height as my old Ford Racing B Springs, I'm assuming they will settle in but I put both upper & lower ISO back in. Hoping the front stays the same or lowers some. We will see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arayray Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 I haven't done much to the cobra lately. I ordered magnaflow magnapack mufflers the other day and got them in. I bolted everything up and realized the connection to the rear of the muffler needs to be shrunk so it can slip inside the muffler. I decided I am going to polish the pipes that go under the IRS and I am going to get new exhaust tips and paint/clear coat them black. I am hoping to get a few other odds and ends done before I leave for basic in March! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arayray Posted February 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 I got my custom made 'SVT' patches in the other day along with some floor mats from LMR. Today I glued the patches on, I'm hoping they will hold or I will get them stitched if they don't. They came out great and I'm very happy with them! I also bought a set of 1 inch wheel spacers. I'm hoping it will make the rear wheel look better since they look 'tucked'. I will get pictures of the spacers tomorrow when I put them on.

Det_Riot Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Looks awesome! The subtle green touches you're doing are phenomenal. I would stitched them on to begin with jmo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SublimeRT Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I like the mats and patches a lot. That's a nice little touch. Has the stock flavor to it with a little extra. Where'd you get the patches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Thanks man, that's where I got the idea from Oh ok, it should last just fine then. The guy that posted it originally said he's had them like that for years now with no issues I saved that etsy seller for future reference. I don't have anything in mind currently but I could see possibly needing some stitched patches sometime in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arayray Posted June 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Not much has been going on since I left for the Air Force, I ordered a trunk panel off of SVTP and my Dad pulled the springs back out and got them powercoated green to match my calipers/sway bar etc. and to go along with the green theme! I ordered exhaust tips and my Dad is going to polish the exhaust and have it welded so that will finally be done. I can't wait to drive it when I come back home!

arayray Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Just got back from being home on leave. It was fun while it lasted! Got to mess around and had alot of fun with the car. Put my door sills on, trunk panel on and got my exhaust finished up. Took a little cruise out to the Flight 93 Memorial and it was awesome to go back and see exactly what I signed up to defend against and make sure never happens again! While I was there, I took the chance to get some pictures.
