Its far but its not bad at all. The shop is right off of the 202 and the 101 so its all freeway. Don't listen to Juic, we all know just to kind of ignore him . He's been all over the world but complains when he has to drive 20 mins to Tempe. That's just his style .

If we had the meets at desert ridge you would be singing a different tune.

We should start a meet some time in riverview and cruise to tempe market place and then up to desert ridge to meet up with more ppl. I mean if it worked out some time. That way Juic can let us know some good places to eat up there by his area!

We have In-n-Out

The only thing about Desert Ridge is that is stays packed unlike Tempe marketplace. I need to find an area and a day where no one goes there.

You should come out to a Wednesday Night meet. We usually have them in Tempe. Any plans for mods?

Default mods

Thx Mex Lex!

Coming from a 2004 RX-8, I love the acceleration in this car! Then I found the pwr mode, lol. First mods: Rear Chassis Member Brace, F-Sport Stabilizer Sway Bar Set, F-Sport Sway Bar (Rear), F-Sport Performance Lowering Spring Set, F-Sport Shock Set. Obviously I want to improve the handling. I can't take corners the same! But this may have to wait until the end of the year. I will try to make it out a Wednesday night. In the middle of moving the next week. Would love to see some of the other AZ members rides!

In need of some help guys. I took my car to get an alignment over the weekend, (I did drive it here all the way from Miami). They told me they couldn't do the alignment because I need new lower outer rear control arm bushings and a left front wheel bearing. I know you guys talk about this shop and I'm looking for someone reliable to work on my car. In Miami my good friend has a shop so I never had to look for a shop. Any help would be awesome.
Thanks

New guy here.

Jon Kowanetz
I live in Gilbert, work in Mesa.
My hobbies include car audio (which is also my profession), snowboarding, wakeboarding, going to shows, listening to music, watching movies and hanging out with my family, especially my little monster Charlotte, who is almost 2 years old.
I don't currently own a Lexus, but I have been a fan of them for a while and have done a little bit or work on them. I can post pictures of that if it is cool? Not sure if this is the place for that or not.


This is my wife, daughter and I, taken about a year ago.
