93 cobra with a noisy alternator
I might as well put it my$.02.
I am the proud owner of #58 1993 Cobra R with about 5500 miles. I am the third owner and bought it with 2200 on the clock back in 1995. Since then %95 of those added miles have been on track at speed. While the engine has a stock short block it does have a ported intake, alum. heads (GT40X), and long tube headers the suspension have been completely gone through with most of the stock parts replaced with aftermarket or custom fabricated parts. I think the rear axle and the Koni DA shocks are all I am using.
Jim,
Welcome aboard Jim! Hopefully I'll get to see your Cobra R at the track this year!

Hey guys, I'm new here. I do not own a 93 cobra yet, but I am going to pick one up this Friday. I currently own a 2003 Sonic Blue Lightning and after Friday I will own a 1993 Teal Cobra. It has grey leather with a sunroof. The car just turned 70K miles.......
Great combo, Gen 2 L and a 93 Cobra.![]()
Does the Cobra have any mods on it?
The cobra has 3:27 gears, aluminum driveshaft, edelbrock high flow water pump, 3 core radiator, windage tray, Pro 5.0 shifter, headers, h-pipe with high flow cats, and a flowmaster cat-back. I will attach some pictures next week if I can figuire out how. I'm still not sure how to attach them.
Today my '93 has 6,060 miles on it. I was at PPIR in June running it hard. It even passed all the '03/'04 Supercharged Cobra's on the track in my group.
Slowly adding suspension/brake item to it. Still want to keeep as original as possible. The '93's are the best handling Cobra's out there as they are also the lightest as weight is the enemy.

Hey Tom, congrats again on the 93. If you are ever in the Milwaukee area, let me know, I would love to see it. Maybe come down for a WISVTOA event sometime?
Thanks Chris,
Hey, I didn't see you at RA Sunday... Were you there?

Yeah, I drove the Cobra up on Sunday just to watch. I got to Road America about 11 and left about 2. Sorry I didn't see you. Mike was there and donated SVTOA caps and Raceway Directories to the Northwoods guys for extra door prizes and giveaways. Terry, Marv, Mark, and Jim also showed up as spectators. Bill in his Gen I L and Bruce in his 00 R ran the AX Saturday and Bruce also ran Sunday. Not as many of us ran this year, I think Gingerman took a toll on our track time budgets this year.
Did you drive your Cobra there? I saw 3 93's running in the event.
No, actually the Cobra stayed at home. Rear main is leaking a little more than I like. We brought my friend's mustang instead. It's a Saleen clone with a little different exhaust note (built v6). We got there at around 12:30 and stayed until 5:00.
Where was your car parked? Was it the pristine one parked on the right side of the main road leading into the paddock?

Yep, that was me. Venomos on the license plate. Sorry we didn't hook up.
Have not had the pleasure of owning a Teal/black or grey cloth int '93 Cobra
in exc. cond., low miles, low to no mods, and documented: I am trying to
rectify that by finding one as my 64.5 07K, 66 09A, 82 T-topped GT, and 86
SVO need one more stable mate. Reading this thread just makes me look
forward to finding one that much more! Any ideas on making an acquisition
somewhere in the SW US?![]()
