JB Welded a crack in my radiator as a temp fix and removed my HID's and installed normal bulbs because my RPM's would jump up 500+ if I turn them on. Seems to act normal now that normal bulbs are in.

Last week I posted of few pics of final stages of body work, i did get a few coats on but it didnt turn out exactly the way that I wanted but nothing that 220 grit and an orbital sander cant fix. Anyways I painted my rims mounted them and so far this is what she looks like. Dont tell me I need to lower it, but thats coming hopefully on the next pics. Shout out to Sammy in DFW area, I bought a full supra setup lowering springs and struts for $250. So yesterday I went to the strip just to see what a slightly modded 400 would do on the 1/8 mile, 9.67 with a reaction time of 0.6. i handed this one mustang gt his A$$! but now I know what I need to do. I read about doing the ECU Mod to give me more take off and low end torque so I going to research that, but now I am really interested in the Tundra 4.7L. Its still not finished but at least, I repped well at the track.We had three SC's yesterday, 2 V8s and 1 2JZ. For yall that lives in the DFW Area, YellowBelly Drag strip wants to do a Club Lexus night, so I will be starting a thread on that.
UPDATE for some reason I cant post pics I will post them behind this reply
