Congrats on your first sc400!
First things first, do the basic tuneup maintenance. Plugs, wires, fluids, filters, then you know start working on performance
Good luck and enjoy!

I guess I should introduce myself a little bit first. My names Matt, I'm from Denver, CO, Im a car audio installer at Ultimate Electronics and a touring musician and I am an auto mod freak. Heres my last car, it was a 2000 Toyota 4Runner SR5 3.4l V6 w/ TRD Supercharger.
Im not sure whats in store for my new baby but its gonna be one hell of a project.

I actually live in Morrison, about 1/2 a mile away from Bandimere and Red Rocks but my girlfriend lives downtown, near cheeseman park and Im usually at her place more often.
Do you know anything about lap days at Pueblo and Genoa Motorsports Park and if there are any Lexus racing clubs in CO? I want to take my SC to the track eventually but I cant figure out if the lap days are only for the racing schools or if its like a Nurburgring kinda thing.

AAAHHHH!!!! In less than 24hrs. of having my car the check engine light comes on saying that the engine is running lean which my guess is MAF or O2 Sensor but the engine is running strong so I'm thinking more likely it's the O2 sensor. Any thoughts?
I also blew out the rear driver side tire from taking a corner too fast. Sooo... should I get 17's or 18's and what's the best tire at a reasonable price that doesnt do this?
