29 Palms

I just moved out to 29 Palms with my RX-8, and I've seen 4 others just here on base since I've been here. A Ti grey with black wheels, a White Water Pearl, a Sunlight Silver with neon green wheels and a carbon fiber hood, and another Winning Blue like mine. Any of y'all on here?

Likely not Devil Dog...

One Hint: It get's hot there during Summer and the RX-8 doesn't like to be hot. Make sure you take care of your car, you don't want to be stranded along Joshua Tree/Yucca Valley in "Stumps" Highway!

That SS with green wheels looks pretty cool, I would never do it to my own but it looks nice.

Just a heads up, every Wednesday night around 7:00 there is a car meet at Stater Brothers grocery store just off base down 62. So far, I'm the only rotary that shows up, but there are around 20 guys that go. We need more rotors there!

I'm in desert edge between dhs and skyvalley. I only seen one or two rotorys out here but my buddy owns a rotory shop out in dhs called Illiced performance all he does is rx7 and 8's. He is Mazda trained so if anyone needs anything let me know. As well as I have a few sponsers for speakers and sound and some performance parts so i can get a homie hook up.

Dam, once I get back on my feet financially i might take you up on that, my CD changer is broke, and i might wanna install a nice after market radio and MAYBE a 10 in the trunk. I might not be a homie yet but im sure we can fix that, I work at a tire shop in LQ if you need tires i might be able to get a homie hook up too,

But I just got her a set of new shoes. I'm trying out the hankooks they are okay but I miss my nittos! These side walls are too soft for me. But they aren't bad and I got a good deal on them. 245/40/18's aren't cheap.

Yea im personally not a fan of hankook, i JUST put some sumitomos on. i love em, i got em 60 a piece, but thats my hook up, i dont know how much it would be for you guys.

OH and till the end of this month, my boss told me to tell all my friends n family if they mention my name they get buy 2 get 2 free(with the road hazard and alignment) so if you need some just tell me.

And does its a grind really? i didn't know that, i literally live right across the street from it. Im down if any one else is.

So When is everyone hanging out?

I'm down to go to DHS to check out the shops also. I want to see what people have going on at that end of the valley. They have the shop opened on the weekends?

And is anyone going to Seven Stock?

I'm definitely down for a meet, as long as it isn't only like 4 or 5 guys. Do any of you guys have a compression tester by any chance?

I wish I could have gone. I just started my job in Palm Springs and I have to go to training out in Cerritos tomorrow. I'm definetley down for the next one! And let me know where your shop is. Now that I'm working in Palm Springs maybe I can swing by and check it out before I head home or something.
