*OFFICIAL* Phoenix Area DSMer Intro Thread

[donniekak]

That's why I live out in surprise. $200,000 gets you 2,500-3,000 ft^2 with a pool, large 3 car garage, and I'm 25 minutes from downtown Phoenix.

cost of living cheaper than here any tuning shops out there? just in case but I if bring the dsm this year if I move there, if not I can always trailer her out there. I like az been there a few times,

 

[gofer]

There are a lot of tuning shops out here, any of them worth going to with a DSM on ECMLink? Not one. There's one in Tucson I'd trust, that's about it.

Thanks the plan is to have all that done before so I can just enjoy it , I make too many changes to the car so well see how the job hunt goes, at least I have a good friend and a neighbors brother out there to help so the hunt continues, btw corey ill be in gilbert living if I come out.

Always nice to hear there could be more DSM's coming to the area because right now we're few and far between, I can count on one hand how many turbo DSM's I saw last year driving on the streets.

I'm pretty lucky that the house i have now is only oweing 200k on my 500k house, I'm hoping to sell for 790ish since i just finished a major reno. Then buying something 3500-4000sq on an acre should be paid off all the way

My parents have a winter house on dynamite/ e rio verde that they are trying to go to full time from north of seattle and that will be useful with the little one. Thats mainly why I'm looking in east vally.

 

[gofer]

Got damn your parents live WWWWAAAAYYY out there.

I got married in Fountain Hills and from where I live (off Riggs/Val Vista) it seemed like I was almost to the Grand Canyon I had been driving North for so long.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

It's 15 mins from north scottsdale it's not too bad haha i just got back on the 7th from there

It's pretty amazing, they have horses and do barrel racing so they have to live a little out there.

I guess it could seem a long time if your 30 mins south of phoenix, this is 45 from the airport.

Property i was looking at boardered the tonto forest which seemed awesome for dirtbiking but the place had an offer accepted when we put in ours

IDK what the rules and regulations on Off-road vehicles in Canada are, but... As a fellow Dirtbiker/offroader I've posted a link to where you can find all the info on the laws/regulations in AZ.

http://www.azgfd.gov/outdoor_recreation/off_highway.shtml

The link blow is a outline for state trust land, area's (highlighted in blue) are the areas that require a special "State trust land permit" in order to lawfully ride in those areas. In order to obtain that permit, you will also have to have a "OHV" plate/vehicle registration which requires a title and or bill of sale from a dealer or previous owner.

I'm not sure if emission testing is still required for "off road vehicles" i know they just passed a law that exempts "motorcycles", I'm going to assume that would also exempt OHV also.

I've road my bike in the area you're looking at moving to, (I haven't been out that way in a long time), But I know they had closed off some areas due to complaints by local home owners. I have no idea if the DNR has since lifted the ban & re-opened that area or not.

Hey guys, I'm in Chandler.
Drive a 1995 GSX
16G, 3" Turbo Back Apexi, FMI, and Soon to be COP Set up
New to DSM's, so I'll probably have a lot of questions.

 

[donniekak]

First off. Your stock ignition is better than that cop without a cdi.

 

[JCosby]

Thank for the amazing input.

Hello everyone! Just moved to Maricopa from Chicago. Looking to find some dsm meets cruises if there are any. I've owned a few in my day. Current one is 91 TSi, AWD, M/T. Red and black on black EVO 8's.

 

[JCosby]

Hell yeah man, huge weather change! Enjoy man!

Love the weather so far and thanks! I just bought the first dsm I've ever owned with 0 rust! Lol.

Welcome to the desert! Enjoy the weather while it lasts! It's about to get real shitty here in about 3 months. I'm not even sure i even want to think about it this early....

Yea haha summers suck, if you don't have ac out here, you'll hate it for 4 months, thankfully I'll be in California for 3 months at MCRD San Diego. But yea that's a plus being here in the valley, basically everything's rust free and don't have to worry about the salt on the roads !

Good luck to you devil! I was an 0311 in the reserves. I moved out here after i got out. Remember, it may not be as hot temp wise at the depot as it is here in Arizona but your kill hat will make you want to be back on the block real soon. Haha. Enjoy yourself, have fun and be mentally strong. Don't take anything the d.i's tell you too seriously. They are just there to weed out the pussies from the men.

Oohrah!

Hell yeah man! Thanks for the advice man, much appreciated. I'm pretty excited and a little nervous, it's going to really set in once I get on the yellow footsteps haha.

No problem at all. Everyones nervous beforehand but as long as you know its just as much a mental test as much as its a physical one you'll be alright. I actually miss it and wish i could do it again (going through as a recruit again). Have fun and pay attention. If you have any questions, feel free to pm me.
