Yeah, i kind of fell into it, my older brother, who is now 23, has serious car A.D.D not just modding but keeping, hes had over 20 cars and trucks and 4 or 5 bikes. (i think its like 25 cars?) He can't keep a car for schit lol. He bought the cobra from a dealer, made payments for six months, then wanted to get rid of it, the body is rust free (texas car) so my dad wanted to keep it, well it just had happened i was working 50 hour weeks at the time (i was 15 it was summer landscaping ftmfl.) He figured i could afford it, asked if i wanted it, ofc im 15 ofc i'll take a cobra haha. However it wasn't in the best condition when i got it and things only went downhill.

Since i've owned it
Sparkplug shot out of head
I've replaced:
Tires ofc
MAF
IAC
Coolant Temp sensor
Plugs and wires.(TWICE)
Injector
^just one a little while ago but will buy an entire set tomorrow which blows because one is $65 a set is $200.
multiple vacum hoses.
Brakes(pads and rotors)
paid for diagnostics test for them to tell them my wires had a lot of resistance in them and i needed new ones, a week after i had installed new ones, they said they could do it for $480 lawlz.
Gaskets ($75) for all intake gaskets
Cleaned my IMRCs which was free but a good bit of labor.
Well actually it cost 6 cans of parts cleaner and $1 for 2 toothbrushes.
im sure im missing something. Oh new E-brake assembly, that was a fun install.
Probably some other ****.

oh fuel pump as well.

what else..hmm.

I had TSW wheels for a while and they were actually lighter than my stock wheels. So dont fear the 18" wheels...just the heavy ones like i have now. lol
