Smile Moving to MI!

Hey all, I just got a job in Dearborn and will be heading to MI in about a month. I was wondering if there were any good shops in the area and any clubs or autox's you guys frequent? I know chicago has a pretty active scene, anything similar to that around the big D?

Thanks, i'll take a look at the MiEvo site. I'm guessing since you went to AMS to get tuned, there's not much in the immediate area for evo support

There are some but not many. Typically guys are going to AMS, Buschur, or Pure for tuning since they are all relatively close. There are a few shops and some local guys that work on them and tune them as well. Overall its a pretty solid community.

For autoX there's two SCCA clubs in the area.

There's also tons of track events during the warmer months at MI 3 road courses - Gingerman, Grattan, and Waterford Hills.
