Kim Haun's Cobra gets some modifications!
| Kim Haun has shared some recent photos of a Cobra built by Barry several years ago. Kim has made some performance modifications with some guidance from Barry. The results should deliver a better ride and performance. |
|
I wanted to send you some pictures of how my car is turning out and some of the mods I've been speaking to you about. Your guidance and advice has been very much appreciated. - Kim |

Here's what I ended up with to make my stock spring hat into a longer travel coil-over application. I cut a 4" hole in the top of the spring hat and built an upper shock eye tower over the hole. It's very strong and there's no rubbing and works great! And I was able to do all the work under the fender without moving or removing the suspension. |
|
While I was at it I added this frame cross brace between the two new shock towers, attaching to the top of the K member. It is easily removable for any service to the front of the engine. It really stiffened things up! Since the photo was taken, I replaced the rag joint with a universal joint as well. |
|
Here's a fun one! I opened up the front of the hood scoop to allow more flow… |
|
And then made this cold air intake box that seals against the hood. It makes a big difference in horse power. |
|
I was successful in narrowing the reared 2.5" and installing my back brakes on the front of the rotor. Here's a photo of the mod without the rotor. With the bolt-on caliper kit I had to go to a bigger rotor which gave me a bit more rear braking power than I needed. |
| Kim continues to work with McGill Manufacturing to get the most out of his Cobra. He's off to a good start. |
