Hey QCAAF members! Just had my oil changed at Firestone ( Moline ) tonight and one of the sales guy wrote down the website info, i didn't realize there was a forum for some QCA car enthusiasts around. A little about myself, I recently moved here from Texas and i play semi pro football for the Quad City WolfPack. in a nutshell we play by NFL rules 11vs11 full pads. we are a 2nd year team ( thats why you didnt know we existed ) but our first year we won the Heritage bowl championship and it was a huge success. So if your a football lookout for us this summer. i'm also a Vet Tech at Oak Knoll Animal Hospital,, Now to the auto stuff. I drive a 2008 RCSB Toyota Tundra. before the naysayers and skeptics jump in, it was manufactured in america and built by americans, i can haul over 11,000 LBS and its a 4x2. 5.7 V8 404HP. Now, I haven't ever been to a track, ive been wanting to go to this " Cordova " track i keep hearing about but just dont know the right folks yet. I'm close to paying off the supercharger install i have through Toyota right now and once i do that'll bump it up to a whopping 504 HP with 651lbs of torque. Doesn't sound too bad to me ;D I'm also going to add a TRD rear sway bar and TRD performance Cold air intake soon. as far as mods go im completely bum dry, it's all stock, it has the TRD appearance package and thats it, 7" touch screen navigation and red interior mood lighting. 31k miles. But im really hoping to get together with some of you nice folks and maybe show me some sweet spots to cruise here in the QCA like i said i just moved here from Texas about a year and a half ago. But here is a few pictures, enjoy and let me know if you have any questions! Most recent picture  in the snow  When i first got it  |

Glad to see you made it! Can't wait to see that supercharger installed. When you get it on, stop on back down to Firestone and let me check it out.

I want to get some rims but can't really afford them right now, I know I do want some lower profile tires though. When the time comes. It's either rims or new exhaust system

welcome aboard! talked to a few of you guys at Soutpark Mall last weekend. took a ton of flyers to hand out to the Galesburg JFL and our local high schools. i personally would love for you to wait on the huffer install and get a baseline then see how much the huffer picks up

When is the next Cordova meet? |

I definitely want to do some runs on Cordova before I do get the turbocharger on it.

Looks like the tentative track rental date is going to be June 9. I am going to lock it up tomorrow if possible.

Nice tundra, I've owned a couple 2010 double cab 4.8 or 4.7 can't remember 4x2, and a 2011 crewmax Trd 5.7 4x4, great trucks, huge inside, my wife raced ours at the last track rental, 15.0 , not bad for a huge truck all stock.
I am waiting for the 2014 model in September, I like the new features they added and will be picking one up.

Right on man, yeah I enjoy the Tundra a ton, gas mileage isn't all that grand but all in all i get some compliments, i'm just glad i lucked out and found a RCSB with the 5.7 in it. got it for 14k with 26k miles on it at courtesy ford. i need to invest into some tires soon. |
