98 Gt and intake help lol 56k? come on now?

Hourofpain · October 16th, 2008, 12:45 PM

well ive gotten the few kinks out of her
i just bought her the other weekend
replaced a stud bolt in the axle
finishing up the tune up saturday

i need some of your guys' help
I have an aluminum intake
definately not stock and i cant trace down the part number

but first the car

and now the engine and this intake

ModMustang97GT · October 16th, 2008, 02:49 PM

You sure its aluminum and not painted plastic? It looks identical to stock except the color. I would bang on it with a wrench to listen for a thud or a ping. You can get aluminum versions of the stock intake somewhere, not really worth it unless you are doing the PI swap and running nitrous. Does it have the PI swap?

acmillr · October 16th, 2008, 03:02 PM

That's a PI intake painted silver. You can see where the composite (black) is showing around the COP hold down bolt holes and the plastic plug in the lower front of the intake.

acmillr · October 16th, 2008, 03:02 PM

BTW: Love the car- the color is sick!

Hourofpain · October 16th, 2008, 03:05 PM

so ac

are you saying its a PI intake?

That's the facts......... Yes.

However, it looks like the earlier PI design with the composite front water jacket. You can be for sure by scratching it with a knife....

MikeD05GT · October 16th, 2008, 05:25 PM

thats a clean ass car! great color with blue on black.. love it man..

G.T. Rags · October 16th, 2008, 05:25 PM

yeah, u don't see that many 10 year old mustangs that still look sharp

acmillr · October 16th, 2008, 05:27 PM

I had to repost about the color. The car looks awesome. I love the blue- I think I have found a new best color.

G.T. Rags · October 16th, 2008, 05:28 PM

it's bright atlantic blue isn't it?

97S281 · October 16th, 2008, 05:31 PM

NICE!!!!!

looks like all you need is a of couple bolts to hold the rear of that sweet strut tower brace down and your set. Looks like someone definately took care of this car.

MikeD05GT · October 16th, 2008, 05:33 PM

i can honestly say my car looked that good when i bought it. it had 70k on it. but there wasnt a mark on it.. i dont regret paying 9100 for it in 06

ur car wasn't 10 years old then was it

but on another note, by buddy bought a 98 in jan 06 and he paid 10,5 for her... plus 3k in interest.... thats an assraping

MikeD05GT · October 16th, 2008, 06:01 PM

ok it was 7 lol. and your buddy should still be icing his ass from that one.

texas96gt · October 16th, 2008, 07:38 PM

Thats a clean car. Looks good man!

Last Call Racing · October 16th, 2008, 08:24 PM

Looks clean for sure! Congrats on the new ride!

fairlane_68 · October 16th, 2008, 09:20 PM

Replace that intake with the one that has the aluminum coolant crossover. Those were under a recall from Ford, but has since expired. 7 years or 100,000 miles was the limit. Those plastic intakes crack and rupture right behind the alternator. Get it from Summit...they have the best price on them.

And +1 on losing the 4.6 badges. Looks a little too 80's.

ANd your part number is right there above the fuel rail. Looks to be the original, or had been replaced under warranty.

Uncle Humjaba · October 17th, 2008, 12:08 AM

car's looking good man =) now just lower it, stick some wheel spacers on the back and you're set. i will say though that doesn't look like the original paint. you can see in the engine bay the blue is faded a bit more around the fender wells and such than on the outside and on the strut tower brace (looks like they repainted the car its original color and threw the leftover paint on the brace). either way, slick looking car. i wish i had the polished rims on mine. they look good.

Hourofpain · October 17th, 2008, 01:38 AM

Paid 5500 cash for it

yeah definately its composite
but are you guys sure its the PI intake?
