Ahhh.... Yeah I would like to meet up with some people that have some mods and experience with these cars. You know for like Q&A, what works, what doesn't... Ect.

Any local shops that we can trust with our cars? Performance and tuning wise? I can turn a wrench so adding stuff is no big deal with the exception of motor work. I suppose I could do a head swap and cam but after that...... Me not so sure.

Also there's Colorado Performance Unlimited (CPU) owned by trent dalponte, done buisness with him as well in the past. Both great people to work with. I actually just got my tune @ a.I.r with clint the past weekend .. pm me for more info
