I've been looking to buy a 03/04 for a while now. I've found a car that is fairly close by that is in my price range. The only issue I have with the car is that it is a solid axle swapped car. The owner has all the irs components and if I decide to get the car I plan to go back to the irs. I know that the swap is basically a direct swap. The question I have is with the brakes. Should the car still have the factory cobra calipers in the rear with the solid axle? Also what are some other issues I might run into when going back to the irs? What all parts should I make sure are there?

 

...I wouldn't worry about the swap back!!! ...should have the Cobra brakes on the SRA, but if not, all just easy bolt on work!

GL...any pics??

 

I hate the fact that the front bumper has been drilled. And another question is that it looks like the bolts on the front of the eaton are rusted along with the studs and nuts on top of the struts, something to worry about?

 

That car looks like it has some miles on it! How many miles are on the car?

Also why would you want to go back to the IRS?

 

Car has just over 20k miles. The pictures aren't very good.

I just want it to be how it came from the factory.

 

Not trying to be a smarta$$, just curious, but don't Terminator Cobra owners like the IRS? I realize the SRA is good for straight 1/4 mile, etc... but the IRS is great for handling, right? My 97 Cobra has the SRA (as all did from that era) so, since I've never driven a Terminator, I don't really have a comparison...

 

Wheel hop is an issue with the irs. Alot of folks who take them to the strip prefer the sra

 

That man did you a favor, sell the leftover IRS parts and add O/R X-pipe/pulley/tune and dont look back.

 

thats kind of weird that it has the stock pulley but is missing the pulley guard.

 

I wonder
