Moving to Phoenix, AZ...
Moving to Phoenix, AZ... What do I need to know? Are there modifications that must be avoided? Are there any must-have mods for living in Phoenix?
I'm putting my air conditioner back in, I know that's a must... also looks like there are a lot of $^#&*#@*^-ing speed bumps in town.
Anything else to watch out for? Local speed traps? Pet peeves of the local authorities? Laws I might not be aware of? I'm coming from the Chicagoland area...
Thank you all!!!

Find a address in another co. to req your car. I live in Pinal Co. And once you take your car for the vin inspection, sometimes they inspect a tiny bit more......your done. Never a inspection again!!! My B4C camaro I just registered as I bought it out of state. They checked the vin on the door, and on the dash. Said "Have a Nice Day!"
Pinal Co. has a part VERY close to the "valley" Get a apartment there so you have a address!

If you're looking for a shop, I'd recommend Arizona Automasters. They're located in Chandler, off I-10 and Chandler Blvd. They specialize in 3rd and 4th gen F-bodies and Corvettes, as well as GM trucks. Good bunch of guys, very friendly and they do quality work.

As far as street racing, AZ isn't really open country. Theres a lot of development going on all the time, a lot of construction, and a lot of traffic. The main streets are all set up in 1 mile square blocks (in the east valley anyway).
az automaster.. LOL thats a joke!! they wanted $500 to put valve springs in my friends car.. they are ok.. depends on what u want done.. az is ok place.. street scene.. ahh its ok.. too many damn imports!!! let me know when u get out here.. im out every friday and saturday
oh and for the emissions part.. they dont even check ur tail pipes.. i went to emissions last month.. i pulled up lope'n and smellin like raw fuel.. and the mullet man plugged it in and then asked me if he could borrow my car cuz he had a hot date 2nite..
