Default ***New mods installed!!! susp./engine PICS***

suspension:

L-Tuned shocks
Daizens performance springs(1.9/1.7)
Daizen poly. sway bushings

engine:

Precision Industries torque converter
Hayden transmission cooler


I love the new setup! Handles like a champ, but still retains a great ride. I do have the fat setup so that helps as well. The drop is perfect. Right over the tires, but no rubbing. The new power is incredible! This is a no brainer for those that are thinking about mods! On to the pics! The full size pics are in my gallery - https://www.clublexus.com/gallery/sh...500&ppuser=145

Like the set up!!!! I was getting ready to ask the same question about the tranny cooler. Does anybody know how hard it is to install? I see a lot of guys putting those on there car.

I got the same cooler as 400DGRZ.. It is the thinner plate/fin style. sort of likes B&m's cooler. The Hayden 1677 is only 3/4"x 7 1/2 5 1/2 and good up 20,000lb GVW. It is easy to mount it uses 4 nylon rod type ties that go thru your radiator fins .
an inexspensive way to make it look really nice get a 6' x 3/8 stainless steel hose and use. 6' was just long enough to run to the radiator outlet. I got my hose from Summit or Jeggs for $14. You can find it at Pep Boys
