    Newbie from San Diego

    Howdy Peeps, New to the site. Saw someone rolling around with a window sticker so figure I would join up. I moved to San Diego about 6 months ago now from Philadelphia. I haven't joined as my Evo was back east getting a boat load of upgrades done and was down for a while. She is finally making her way over here, so going to float the scene and see what's up in SoCal. Anyone local to the area? Any general meets that happen frequently? Be good to me some of the members!

    Later!

    Dan

    - When I first bought her. This was back about a year ago now.

    - Some of the other Evo's I hung out with back in Philly. Mine is on the far left. About half way through the upgrade process.

    unfortunately no, Im north of SD, between Pasadena and Arcadia near LA. I do make a trip down there every now and then to visit some Evo friends.

    Keep me posted Macky! I am also always in for coming up north. I love taking trips out through Palomar and Ortega Hwy to the 15. Anytime you guys have something planned let me know and I can cruise on up!

    That is awesome to hear that the scene is large here. It used to be SO large in Philly like 10 years ago and the forums were quiet when i bought my X. I was disappointed, but was able to get some people to hang out before I left. I would love to come out to some meets and hang. Are you talking about the SoCal Evo X Owners group? If not, lemme know and I can join the one you are talking about. I heard about the Qualcomm races but have not been yet. Be fun to get out to one though! Guys have anything planned for this weekend? My tuner/mechanic is in town to help finish up my tune when my car gets here. Would be great to get together!

    Welcome to the forum. And welcome to San Diego. I was actually born in Philly lol. If you haven't already please check out the Facebook group SDevo. We have around 500 members. And we do events every now and then. We have some pretty cool businesses out here that will be able to help support you love for the evo.

    I would imagine your car is probably in need of a professional grade detail since it was in the shop and it just came off the truck. Plus you are going to want to get it protected to keep it from having clear coat issues down the road. A little love now saves you from major headaches in the future.
