Just installed intake

wow...and you aren't even embarrassed about posting those pics :shocked:


njk1, I warned you about aluminum cleaner marking your intake. Get some aluminum/metal polish to take care of your intake. Looking good though. :cool: Get yourself some CD2, makes a hell of a difference.

As far as cleaning the inside of the coolant tank...if you guys have access to "The Works" tub/shower cleaner, it would do wonders for any plastic.

having well water, this stuff is a miracle...when I put my landscape in the front of the house, I ran the sprinkler & it stained the crap out of my siding. I sprayed it down w/ The Works & w/in seconds the mess was gone. A quick good rinse & that's all you need. Nothing compares to this stuff. Careful getting it on your skin though, any cuts & it'll burn like hell.

Another good cleaner is CLR. Calcium, Lime, Rust, it gets rid of it all!

The Works blows that ish away...CLR wouldn't touch my stains (water stains :eek: ). Although it is a good cleaner, just wasn't strong enough for my high iron content. I have a two-tank softener now, didn't at first...much easier to keep clean.
 
so where did you find that intake? i just looked through ebay and couldnt find one.
 
thank you. i should where a dunce hat for the day now. I was looking under contour...
 
im ordering that one up this week..

where can i get that cleaner aliasjerk was talking about?

i wanted to put an exhaust on mine...but than i said, 140k miles is enough... no more modding till i find an svt...i wann know how it sounds with the exhaust though.
 
i got 112K on mine. i figure if i treat it right it will last a long time and the engine will out last my atx for sure. ill be posting 2 different videos(one in a new thread). a before and after for the exhaust and a before and after for the intake.

Definitely get some videos up of before and after with the intake! I was looking at putting that intake on, as well as an SVT cat-back. It'll be cheap overall but I would like to see what my car could turn out to be ;)
 
thanks, my intake parts should be in the mail. im not sure about how soon my exhaust is getting done anymore. As stazi didnt have a long enough resonator, and im in need of newer suspension so im getting that now. I should be hearing from stazi relatively soon, then its just a matter of funds.
 
My ebay intake tube should be in on Thursday. Ill be posting 3 different videos or sound clips. 1. stock 2. kkm(i bought it used for the K&N filter) 3. K&N filter with ebay intake pipe. I Should have them posted by friday night at the latest.
