El Paso Area
 
Anybody from there? Whats there to do? Any good tracks? I know Arroyo Seco is an hour and half to two hours away. Whats closer to do? Any good scenic trips? Let me know. Going to Bliss when i get back from Afghanistan.

TinMan09 05-03-11 11:42 AM

wow i knew el paso was shitty but damn nobody lives there? lol

FJDRX7 05-06-11 02:33 AM

ill be there brother in August

TinMan09 05-06-11 07:53 AM

Lol atleast thats one person going. Heard the street car scene is slim to none out there. Arroyo Seco is only an hour and a half away though.

OC DEBO 05-31-11 11:29 PM

been in El Paso since 08, bike scene is pretty sick, but the car scene is hit or miss. if your looking to get something clean, you wont find it in EP, youll have to build it. I picked up an FD and it turned out to be a little bit of a piece, but nothing a fewgrand didnt fix. now its one of 3 in the city. If you want guys to work on your rotary, EPT Motorsports are gonna be your guys. they have performed miracles on my ride, and i will be going to them for my rebuild as soon as the time comes. I guess it helps that the owners are rebuilding two FC's in the back corner of their shop haha

TinMan09 06-01-11 06:46 AM

Yeah heard the street car scene is pretty shitty. All i've seen mention are car clubs of pretty much stock tahoe's on 24's, an indash, and some shitty glow gauges lol. Sucks. I really dont want to go out there. Looks like i'll be using my reenlistment to go somewhere else. I already have an FD so im not really looking into buying anything out there. All i need is a place to live with a garage.

OC DEBO 06-02-11 09:16 PM

That shouldnt be a problem, there ar new developments shooting up everywhere out here, and i dont know too many NEW houses without a garage, so renting something shouldnt be too bad. BAH isnt exactly amazing out here, but it does its job. only thing that truly blows is the 8.25 percent sales tax. But if youve never been to el paso before, you are in for one hell of a cluture shock bro haha

TinMan09 06-03-11 07:03 AM

Yeah unfortunately BAH for me is like $917 or something like that. Most of the nicer plays like the place i have in killeen cost over $1k a month there. Im trying to find something nice though. I've never been before but i hear its shitty. Complete opposite of where im from. I'll miss muddin' and riding the mountains of Georgia. Gotta get use to the damn sand. Anybody in El Paso want to help do my LS2 swap? lol. According to my neighbor my car is leaking oil and coolant. No clue where from though.

shinobi915 06-27-11 10:28 AM

Hey all. I am out in El Paso as well and hadn't found to many people into rotaries. But just letting y'all know there are others. Seems like there is not too much going on in the car seen regarding 7's, but maybe it just needs to get started.

OC DEBO 07-06-11 04:38 PM

there is a mini meet every wednesday night , behind Fox Plaza on Alameda and Paisano. It is cop regulated and keeps everyone in line for the most part. Ill be goin tonight, so look for a red FD with enkei FN01R-C's

FJDRX7 07-08-11 02:29 PM

FJDRX7 07-31-11 08:20 AM

TinMan09 07-31-11 10:29 AM

shinobi915 08-01-11 10:26 AM

@ OC DEBO, Hey man I will be planning to go to the mini meet this Wednesday so I'll look for you if you are planning to be there this week. I'll look for your FD. I'll be rollin in a stock FC s4.

FJDRX7 08-02-11 06:48 PM

TinMan09 08-03-11 12:01 PM

FJDRX7 08-15-11 08:28 PM
