Sup Phoenix AZ,

I'll be moving here shortly from the east coast. I have an 2003 Evo 8, slightly modded with the normal bolt ons. Normal daily driver and havent seen the track yet.

Quick question - how are the emissions inspections here in AZ? I have a test pipe off the 3" dp and 3" exhaust. Just wondering if there is anything I need to be concerned about and if I'll run into any problems. If so, I figured I'll try to get them "fixed" before heading down here.
Using the CEL eliminator and dont have a CEL at the moment.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I only run 91 at the moment. Although I cal'd my knock sensor with some 110 leaded recently.

I know these cars suffer in the heat though. Seems like most guys running good 1/4 times and hp #'s that have similar mods to me all run a larger FMIC and piping (which I dont have) If that VIII turbo cant hold up...well I got a IX turbo sitting around that I bought before I left Vegas.
Yeah , you really need to run an upgraded intercooler here in AZ. It's too damn hot .

Hi Arizona locals,

I'm currently here in Sedona for a vacation and I would say, you guys have a nice place here. Specially going down Highway 89A, that would make a good canyon run!

Alright, gonna go dip in the pool, it's friggin hot! LOL!

I didn't think people still posted in here. If you're on the east valley, we're looking to setup a new Wed night meet. I'll be sure to post up on here too.

Why don't people post on the Phoenix, Az page? Not like there are a ton of Evo's in Phoenix I'm sure.

Just came back from my vacation. I must say, you folks have a sweet state. Drove from Sedona to Phoenix before going back to LA, and yeah, it was a blast!

I missed seeing Pres. Obama! I was at the Grand Canyon last Saturday, but he went there on Sunday! Bah!!!

I just moved to Arizona, my baby (evo ix) has a nice place in my 3 car garage, finally it feels like home. I really need to tint my windows now, the sun doesnt bother me, but i need to protect my interior, anyone knows of a good tint shop around Goodyear?
