Silas !! hey dude, do you have your wifes car in my shop for repair? I picked up a work order for a waterpump on a Mazda Protege this morning. I thought it may have been you. Anyway, if it is yours.... gimmie a call or post back here.
I will have to remove the timing belt in order to get the WP off. It's a good time to replace the TB since you're gonna pay for the labor on the job anyway. I didn't start today because if it were me I'd replace the timing belt and tensioner while I was in there. thought you might too.

Yeah that be me. So are you trying to make a buck off me or something? J/K. It's the wifes car and I'll pass this on to her and see what she says. Thanks!

Skip the timing belt that sucker has less than 10K on it. TB needs replacing?

No AFFES went belly up here on Ramstein. They sucked SO bad. They ripped so many people off it's not funny.
I work for 86 Services at the Auto Skills center. Not on the "do it yourself" side but on the other side where you pay a mechanic to do it ( that'd be me) We do everything short of engine teardown (too time consuming) Stuff like Timing belts, head gaskets, tune-ups, clutches etc.... just no motor out of vehicle jobs, unless it's me putting on some longtubes or something ;)

Black and blue? you got tha wrong Cobra dude. My interior is stock save for some Corbeau Targas and some aluminum painted panels and switches. No blue.

Where'd ya see the one you're referring to? I'd like ta check it out too.

Have you seen the multi colored cobra? One that changes color? It looks orange and it's a 35th anniversary I believe. Sounds nice. There are alot of Cobras around here alot.

You are reffering to the "Mystic" paint colors by Ford. I personally hate mystic colors. I have seen a late model mystic Cobra running around base. It's like a gold/tan/brownish/purplish funk color of some sort.

this is the one I'd keep my eye open for Image

Not too many of those running around. In fact, I have yet to see even one! A little pricey for the performance, though. IT IS A NICE CAR!!!! DON'T GET ME WRONG.. :D

That '03 Cobra is gonna be the one to watch out for.

Truth be told, the 00R is a 60k auto X dominator, if you can find one for list. Too many people are buying them to make money off of them in the future(big mistake).

The '03 Cobra is gonna own the 00 R twelve differant ways to sunday in performance (auto x excepted).

I do like the hood, but the rest screams "We are trying Way to hard!"

Now the 95 R = 'nuff said. If you dont know about them, you wouldnt understand. I will never forgive myself for letting #156 slip thru my fingers :(
