I was there on Thursday with the STI and at the very end of the 4th session my motor went. Sounds like a bearing(s). So I was unable to return the next day which is disappointing as it looks like all the Scoobs decided to only come on day 2.
I'm guessing that my issue was from oil starvation or something.
Here is the youtube video ID to the vid I posted of the last session. Had to upload in 3 parts. Also dieing to see other videos from Day 1 but so far everything is just from Day 2.

Oh wow and look at that you have a 01 Cobra.. I was thinking of taking my Mach but I'm now totally paranoid that any car I bring is going to blow up. Have you tracked your Cobra? Any issues with the engine? |
Hey, so sorry to hear the bad news. well at least now you can do a cool rebuild and get some better parts in the motor.
i didn't have any major problems, just a slight issue.
at the last session my car started to pick up slight knock above 5k, i made a small tweak to my new water/meth rom and went back out but didn't really help too much so i backed off and just ran the track at 50% power wise and called it a day. but all in all the car ran great 3 out of the 4 sessions.
i think the car just got so hot from sitting out in the sun all day and getting so hot from the sessions it just didn't want to be run hard anymore.
i went out tonight and did some data-logging and it everything looked good.
i picked up the Cobra several months ago and love driving it, no motor issues, it runs smooth and strong, I've dyno'd it and ran it at the drag-strip several times but never a circuit track. ill probably do it after i revamp the suspension.
the stock suspension is too poo poo for me.
good luck again with your car man, stinks to hear but fix it and get back on that horse again.
