Local shops in Vegas really suck. They all overcharge...the internet is gonna be your best friend. There's a place off of Spring Mtn and Arville called Regulate....I don't know if they're still around.

Off of Trop and Decatur there's a few places on the South end of Decatur...one used to be called Carzmetics...was Japanese owned but don't know if they're around anymore.

Universe sound on Spring Mtn and Valley View has some stuff also....it used to be CCR motorsports...you can try them too.

And...off of industrial near Spearmint Rhino there's one called Maximum Performance motorsport. Probably the most honest shop, but again don't know if they're around anymore. Most shops have been put out of biz by the internet.

I traded the RX-8 for the Cayenne S...needed a better business vehicle...clients have a hard time getting in and out of sports car. The S2K does it's job though haha...

Well, it's been a long time, since I've ordered parts for a civic, but I think there was one called truehonda.com or something like that, but they had good prices from what I remembered....just do a search. I ordered parts from a site called enjuku.com or enjukuracing.com don't know if they're still around though...

As far as working on your car, there's alot of guys on here that will help you out I'm sure. Check the regional forums. Zzyzx is probably the most informed guy here when it comes to auto-x.

Anyways man, welcome to Vegas....I'm a local Realtor and have been here for over ten years so if you have any questions about the valley let me know

Memphis BBQ on warmsprings and eastern is probaly one of the best bbq ive tasted in my life. well not too many 7thgens here in vegas but i can tell you is we do know our stuff. from my head i can tell you for the whole suspension setup you would go to zzyzx, for motor swap xproductions can tell you how to do it step by step, Logan3024 can guide you for a real good turbo setup (in which in my opinion is better thans dezod's), and I, from experience can help you with exterior/body work. so if you ever decide you need anyhelp definitly feel free to ask one us.

We must learn the noob where the good food is.....


My personal recomendations...

Best breakfast: Blueberry Hill on Green Vally ranch + Sunset. (its different then all the other bluberry hills in town)

Best BBQ: Memphis BBQ (theres three in town)

Best Sushi: Sushi Bay on Pecos and Windmill

Best Steak 24/7: Any one of the many Village Pubs in town... ask for the steak special. :P

just to name a few.
