Detroit area members?

I was wondering how many members of this forum, and also evo owners, live in, or around Detroit, Mi. Also what is the best shop to get an evo x tuned around Detroit. Evos are so scarce here, that i am starting to believe i'm alone.

You can try over in the midwest sub-forum, which includes Michigan.. but from a quick glance, it doesn't look like there's anyone from Detroit there..

I would guess that everyone from your city would be more into the "big 3" instead of imports

Live in Pittsburgh; but, used to live in Allen Park and my dad's side of our family if from Taylor. Occasionally make the trek north in my X to visit and have never seen another Evo out in ol' big three country. As far a shop is concerned Buschur Racing is roughly 2 hours from Detroit out in Ohio. Not a next door kinda shop but at least they have a good reputation and it's just another excuse to take a road trip.

Lool.... i've seen a few 8 and 9's around, but still no x's. I found a decent shop in troy, speed industry , but the best they wold recommend for my car was the cobb ap. They said they would do a tune for me but cobb would be better. I guess, at list they were honest and did not try to push their own tune.
Where is buschur? I might go there when i'll want some upgrades.

Thx. I did join but, that forum is mostly dead. I don't like the site format either.
As far as speed industry goes, they are ok, but not very knowledgeable on the x. As i stated above, all they knew about tunning it was to push the cobb stage 1 and 2 at me. While i do think cobb is a great route, i would still prefer a costom tune. From what i read on the forum, stage 2 is not even ready for the '11. My best options would be chicago, or ohio somewhere...

I had Speed Industry work on my car a while back, if you need minor wrenching done speed industry is a good place.... but honestly leave the tuning to the professionals check out Pure tuning in Toledo where i live it is only a 1 hour drive for me

Cool. I'll look into it. I went to speed industry last week, and they had a few very cool cars in there. 2 supras and a turbo r32.
I just looked at buschur's site and they seem to be quite close to cedar point. I might take a little detur when i go down there.

I just bought his Evo 8 and I live in Madison Heights which is only a 20 min drive from Detroit.

I'm in love with my new Evo
