  • Mike is on the hunt for the classic AC Cobra, but unfortunately his budget doesn't stretch that far. Will he be able to find a standout replica for a fraction of the price?

    Hey I love the fact the Ignition starts at 4:27 into the video like a 427 cu in engine. You guys really made the best Cobra video I've ever seen online.

  • @assistantto007

    If you watch the whole episode - youll see that the tyres werent fitted ABSOLUTELY correctly.
    The dots on the sidewall of tyres indicates the heavy piont of the reunforcement section of the bead - and the tyre should ideally be fitted to the rim with the valve opposite the bead joint dot..

    • @joepiol5105
      @joepiol5105 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Nope. The dot on the tire should be lined up with the valve stem. That puts the heavy point of the tire on the lightest part of the rim, which allows less lead to be added to the rim for balance. Sometimes the wheels can be run with no lead, but if you take them in for balancing, the technician will throw lead on anyway. He won't want to tell you that you just paid for balancing, but no balancing was needed.

    Wow. A Chevy V8 in a Cobra replica? Maybe if that’s what you had laying around. I’m sure it’s fun to drive but that doesn’t excuse the transgression. I guess if I had the same setup I’d drive it like that on EVERY ERRAND. Wait, I have a Dodge Magnum and I do that anyway. Well. Not like that.

    • @KartsAgainstHumanity
      @KartsAgainstHumanity 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The Chevy engines are much more available, much cheaper, parts are easier to get and it does a decent job of emulating a ford engine. If you care about originality you'd go for a ford, but if you care just about the experience, the Chevy engine makes the most financial sense
