A little update on 1LOW03GT
 

It's been a while.But this is what i have been doing this winter,that actually should've been done last winter LOL!!
The Bullitt intake swap.
Just waiting for a few things to come to me once the Bullitt EGR tube is not on back order,so hopefully next week it should be good to go.
Right now everything is just test fitted to figure out the vacuum lines,and other hose/tube routing,and bracket placing,....and i also had to change out my cam/valve covers due to the oil fill tube,my stock covers have it on the passenger side,and it was in the way of the inlet tube,so i needed to swap over to the passenger side.Thank God for the wreckers for the cam covers.LOL...saves me a few bucks there.
Anyways,here are the pics of the swap.
I was originally going to polish the intake,but to much time for me,so i sanded the intake smooth enough to look as smooth as possible,and sprayed her gloss black along with the cam covers.Looks really good with the silver engine compartment.Didn't think i would like it,but i really do love it.

Looking mighty finethumb:

Nicest 03 out there, just got better.

Brings tears of joy to my eyes!

Looks good Jay.

Looks real good for sure.

Whats the advantages of the bullitt intake over stock, other than looking 100% better?

Thanks guys!! rockon:
The advantage is that it's stronger then the plastic intake that comes on the GT's,which are known to crack,that is my number one reason,second i needed an intake that can flow a little better then the stocker for my cams,and like you stated,it looks better which is a bonus LOL.But it is pretty good for addittional hp,more so for the power added GT's though,and a little on for the N/A guys,so usually the N/A guys don't bother cause of the cost,if the cost was lower,or deals were flying around,you would see more guys with them.For hp,I might see maybe 10 hp more,give or take.We will see once i get it re tuned.Plus the fact that WOT MODS gave me a heck of a deal on this fully ported Bullitt intake,and i couldn't refuse it.A really good guy to deal with.thumb:

veryy niceee i like!

Thank you! :drunk:

OMG....Dude that looks killer clean...!
Now that looks so different ;)

Why thank you,much appriciated.smokejump:
It does make it look a tad different doesn't it. :cool:

Looks great Jay!!!

Thanks Eric.

I love it

are you gonna give the top of the intake the same treatment as the cam covers?

Thanks Tim!!!
I'm on the fence with this one.I like it this way being all solid black,and the other part of me thinks it would look good too if i were to sand the ribs on the upper plenum to natural finish aswell,which would flow well with the cam covers.Just don't know what to do.LOL!!

looks sick man!

Much appriciated Raf! rockon:

Parts came in today!!!
I will be buisy the next few days!!!
Everything i needed....

Just need to pic up some coolant,some oil,and a oil filter,and away we go.....firejump:

Sweet, shes coming along nice..... :)

Keith

Killer GT dude. Very sweet.

Are those just stock valve covers painted?

Yeah they are stock Ford Covers.A little sanding,primer,and paint.thumb:


Well,she fired up,3 turns to the key,and varoom.Only let her run for a minute,need to get some coolant today.She sounds a lot throatier/deeper,definatly different.Need to get her re tuned now.Right now she idles up.....and.....down.....up......and.....down.LOL!!


firejump:
Thanks again guys for the comments. rockon:

Great to hear she is running!

What kind of paint and primer did you use? I'm kind of interested in doing this myself.

Congrats on it running too!

Thanks guys! rockon:
I figured out my idle issue,and all is good.Got the coolant/water in her,and let her for 45 minutes,and what a tease it was.
As for paint,i used duplicolour primer,and Black engine enamal from Canadian tire,2 cans worth to get it to look glossy.thumb:

Sweet........
Glad its all done :)

How much did you lower your car?

Thank you. :)
She is lowered with the Eibach Sportlines,so roughly 2".But maybe lower in the front,cause i just raised her up about 1/4 inch to get her off the ground this past summer.Got tired of banging up my h pipe,and scrapping my chin spoiler up certain slanted drive ways. wall:

Did you have to do CC plates or anything else to accommodate the drop?

Oh yeah,no way around it at all.I also switched out the front struts to fox body struts.When lower a SN95/new edge mustang,the stock struts have longer shafts and will bottom out in the strut cylinder when lowered,which was happenning to me,and in the end,they will get damaged.With the fox body strut you will regain that strut travel cause there shafts are shorter.thumb:
