Default Japanese 1996 Cobra Mustang

Anyone have any info about the Cobras that FOMOCO exported to Japan? I live in england and am looking at buying a used 1996 Cobra, but all the writing in the car is Japanese! Even the speedo/odometer is in KPH. Anyone convert one before?

All u should need is to find a cluster from the American counterpart and plug it right in the computer should put out codes in English if not u may need to send the computer to ford svt dealer with your problem and see what they can do. If it has the ford anti theft with the chipped keys u will have more problems with the coded keys and such and anti theft changing the computer out u will need a American dealer that specializes in SVT's. It may even be as easy as getting a gage face kit in English and send off the computer to SVT for a reflash, u may even be able to get a flash tuner that will store the stock program and put in the American data. I hope this gives u some ideas but u are looking at a lot of international shipping where things can get lost so have a plan if something gets lost in the mail like the computer for example. U may even be able to get a computer direct from SVT if u give them the VIN and proof of ownership. But a cobra anywhere other than the US is a true JEM. As long as u take care of it it will last a long time the cobra 32 valve motor was rated # 2 overall when it first came out and that was comparing it to German stuff, not just American. Private message me and may be I can track down something for u I have unlimited phone access in the US and can try to help u I just need the vin to see what I can do if at all.
