FAST intake hex bolts rusting?
FAST intake hex bolts rusting? I was wondering if anyone else who has the FAST 90mm intake has this issue? I popped my hood yesterday to show a friends mom the engine bay and noticed that all the hex head bolts were rusting. Needless to say I was a little upset and embarassed.
Now the FAST 92 comes with stainless hardware. Don't know why they didn't do that from the start.
You can get a stainless bolt kit from thunder racing. Kit # 99-SS-FAST.
That replaces all the bolts on the intake, as well as the throttle body, and fuel rail bolts. I got mine a few years ago and they look great. Completely changes the look of the intake.
Here's mine before/after. It was more important to me since you can see my entire motor...tho I ended up covering them up with FRCs anyway...haha.
Only bad thing is...it makes all the other hardware on your motor look like doo doo. haha. Even the non-rusted bolts. They are alittle pricey, but I couldnt find them elsewhere for cheaper.

I checked with Fasten All. I even have an account with them. At the time, could be different now, they could get the hardware. However, you had to order strange quantities, and they were quite pricey. Also..the longer bolts were sketchy as to whether they were the right ones.
By the time you added up the nuts and washers in stainless and some shipping it was pretty expensive.
Again...that was a few years ago, so maybe the options with them have changed. Worth a try to go through them though.
