Moving to Scottsdale Nov 1

Hey I am moving from Chicago to AZ! Dream come true to get closer to the west coast, no snow, no salt, no pot holes.

the VQ seen is really strong out here with meets, video/photo shoots almost something every weekend. www.chicagoz.com is where i hang out, 'OEMplus" on streetfire.net


*Are there clubs, groups, gatherings, and good performance shops in scottsdale?
*I am unsure how my car will react to 91 octane vs the 93?
*No front plate or tint law in AZ?

I was just in Chicago like 2 weeks ago, weather wasn't bad when I was there but I'm sure I was lucky haha. I'll gladly take a couple ugly hot months in exchange for no quakes, snow, hurricanes, tornadoes etc. Monsoons are glorified thunderstorms, rare flooding in certain areas but no biggie.

There is the meet at the pavilions, not necessarily VQ only its full of everything. every other fri they have Z meets on the west side in goodyear. Lots of clubs in Scottsdale not sure which ones are good, I'm not a club person.

Car should be fine with 91 vs 93 unless you are specifically tuned for the 93.

I think there is a tint law but I've never had any issue, and yes you can get rid of your front plate

Most of the shops that I know of are down south

i think you can tint everything pretty damn dark except the windshield... I was going to tint 20 everything and 50 or 30 windshield when I was living out there tho.

Made the 1800mi journey, no issues, no problem with the 91. Although i think the timing adjusts when WOT bc the car doesn't make as much boost when driving hard.

Will probably get a retune.

I was supposed to pick up the blue one but it ended up being hit, I'm looking at two others right now but I'm pretty much dead set on getting one, I'll post picks as soon as I get them.
