I'm in Boulder, but I'm out of town and won't be back for another two weeks. And then I'm only back for a month, but there are a couple other guys with SC's in the north Denver area.

Northglenn. Pm me your #. I am a member of a few clubs, you are welcome to hang with us. We just did a Drifting event at Colorado National Speedway on sunday. Here are some vids/ pics.

Here is some vids of a few runs.
This is one of my runs with a good hit on a rear clipping point in my 92 sc3.

^Photobucket link doesn't work.

I haven't seen you around. We should do a little Colorado SC get together in a couple weeks or something. I'm doing an autocross in Colorado Springs on the 29th if anyone wants to do that too!

Ya its rmsolo. And it's gonna be at PPIR. I'll PM you my number too. The suspension isn't set up too great right now, but by next summer should be way better.

BTW: I'm pretty sure I've met that guy with the MK3 with the stripes. He used to have a first gen GS right?

I was wondering the same thing. Are there any Lexus enthusiasts in the Colorado Springs area. I just moved back to the Springs last Saturday from California. I was wondering if there are any reputable independent Lexus master mechanics in the Springs or Denver.

I actually spotted an LS400 dropped on 20's with JDM tails driving down Voyager today.

I don't know anyone from the springs but I'd imagine that there are a few people down there. Not all that many Lexus people in Colorado compared to California though. All these damn Subarus. What part of Cali were you from?

I live in the springs and hate the fact that all the goodies for sale are always SoCal. So many goodies, so little time!

Also don't know of any good indie shops. Kuni Lexus seems ok, i took my car there once, out of warranty and they gave me a loaner--did not even spend a penny with them.

Ya I'm in Boulder/North Denver area. There are a few of us up here. Maybe like three or four. There's one guy with a black RMM supercharged GS400. I think he might be in Denver somewhere. Then there's a few SC guys. I've also seen a couple ES's too but I think they might be up in Fort Collins.

As for shops, there's not really much that I know of. You should join coloradoracing.net. Pretty much all car related info in Colorado is discussed there.

Welcome VIP3O3. It's definitely another world outside of sport compacts!

OneJay: Do you guys ever meet up with your whips?
