mardave cobra anyone had one?

[quincey]

just aquired a new cobra and was wondering as seeing though it was brought out years ago what mods did anyone do to make them better?
and what breaks the most?
no daft comment please!

Well I drove Kristen Wiles (I think I spelt it right but its been a while) prototype Cobra (I was loaned it for an event) and his had a carbon fibre flat chassis with an associated gearbox fitted and ujs but other than than standard. The car is superb indoors on carpet - he made 7th at the indoor uk champs with it, and works rather well outdoors to. Cheap to run and maintain, cant really say a bad thing about this car.

Pretty robust cars. The original clutch was a nightmare to adjust though. I believe that it's now been redesigned along with some other parts.

In terms of what people changed, it was just about everything bar the gearbox and wishbones.
For some reason you could get carbon fibre everything including chassis, not that it seemed to make that much difference!

True, just the carbon fibre chassis made it look cool. The shock towers however were a requirement as they didnt break as easily as the standard ones. Still as you said a very robust car and I liked it a lot when I used it.

I think Kristian had made different rear wishbones, braced the originals and cut them to increase rear toe plus the use of thicker pins to make it more resilient to crashes.
