ABOUT ME
My name's David, 21 years old. I like quiet walks in the park at sunset, waltzing through flowers... no seriously I like music, cars, clubs, and life. I own a 1993 Eagle Talon TSi-AWD currently in the process of a JDM VR4 swap due to the previous owner going cheap on an engine rebuild and the shop that did the rebuild not knowing what they were doing. At present however I am looking to trade this project in for something that I don't have to get running again before I can play with it.
I am a drummer with 12 years of experience, playing generally music of the Metal variety, however I also like going to clubs and enjoying the nightlife. My favorite color is Neon green, both of my cars are green, however I don't have a lick of Irish in me. I'm currently going to the University of Iowa in Iowa city as a Geography major, however I don't plan on using that degree. I like to go crusing, browsing car lots at night when there are no sales people to bother me, I like playing my drumset and hanging out with cool people.
My AIM is DJMesarius, I have MSN and Yahoo but I never use them. Hit me up, especially if you reside in the Eastern Iowa area, we can go crusing and blast some Hondas. My typical wolf pack includes a bolt-on 2006 Subaru WRX, 200x Dodge Intrepid with extensive audio and ground effects work, Honda CBR600 rocket and my own personal 6-bolt TSi when it isn't broken (a 2002 Dodge Stratus R/T when the DSM is broken).
Present mods to the Talon:
JDM EvoIII 4G63T "red top" (being dropped in now)
JDM AWD Auto trans.
Light weight CV shafts
Weight reduction.
Hacked MAF can
K&N cone filter.
haha. I'd go the Grand Prix or the RSX. Or for a cross between the two, a TSX. My brother has one, and I've driven it a few times. It's pretty nice, especially for FWD.
Yeah I've been fine thanks.. starting back at school today. That's too bad about the Talon but it would be good to get something that won't cause you headaches all the time. Let me know what you end up getting.
May 15 CruiseIN 20/30 Road Rally at Firkin' & Fox
presented by Flying Hippo
Thursday, May 15, 2008
Time: 5:00pm - 11:00pm
Location: The Firkin' & Fox

Hopefully we'll have a little better weather although we had 60+ people last time when it was pouring rain!!
Plan to have your rides all ready by then and if you don't have a ride, just show up and have some of the
$2 Domestic DRAFTS and $1 off Appetizers until 7pm
Flipside will also be playing every Thursday starting at 6pm (even during the weeks we're not there)
We already have about 60 cars signed up for the event and we're capping it at 100, so get signed up for the wicked awesome 2008 20/30 Road Rally!
Remember, its every 3rd Thursday of the month through September leading up to the main event September 20th. Visit our Group page on FaceBook or MySpace or our website 2030roadrally.com
Okay...here's the group description from FaceBook...
Combine RAGRBRAI, Chess, and a bunch of sweet cars with the wildest day's worth of adventure you can find in the great state of Iowa, and you have the 20/30 Road Rally. This Road Rally is a competitive timed event where teams compete AGAINST each other by attempting to travel to each Rally leg (checkpoint to checkpoint) in the audited time. Rally route is undisclosed and revealed to each team throughout the day. And no worries...this one is completely LEGAL!
Also--all the proceeds go to Iowa charities!!! That's right. No person is making money off of this event. In fact, the cruise-ins throughout the summer(next one is May 15th at Firkin' & Fox West Des Moines) and the Rally itself all are ways to raise capital for Central Iowa charities. 20/30 is an organization that gives 100% of its membership dues back into the community to make it better for OUR generation! If you want to help figure out where the money should go, you join 20/30. Go to www.dm2030society.org to sign up. We've given over $35,000 since the beginning of last year, and hope to give that much away in 2008. We like to help the down and out, and the places that make our city COOL. We've given grants to The Des Moines Art Center and Art Noir, The Des Moines Public Library for Speaking Series, The Des Moines Playhouse, The Des Moines Symphony, Hawthorne Hill Women's Shelter, Ingersoll Restoration, Des Moines Music Coalition (DMMC), and Creative Visions (for GED grants and Job Interview Grants). This is not a list of ALL grants received... just a few cool ones.
Great for father/son day, brothers day, buddies day, and date day (first dates may be challenging!). No vehicle limitations (though we will be traveling interstates--you need to be able to travel 45 mph!). Whether you have a 1978 postal truck , a 1963 Land Rover Series IIa, a Honda Civic, a Maserati, or a 2008 Mosler, your entry is welcome! Get in now to get the cheapest rates possible! Email us @ 2030roadrally@gmail.com for a signup sheet. Exotic Cars, Classic Cars, Sports Cars, SUVs, Eclectic Cars--ALL CARS!!! And get signed up quick...the earlier you sign up...the cheaper it is and trust me an entire day's worth of mind-boggling entertainment will be completely worth it!!!
hahah well there's a big difference in cars! No Opel could ever pose off as a Ferrari, haha but that's funny! and I love the taillights on the mantas, they're pretty nice.
Auto with a trans-go shift kit. but im actually looking at a racing transmission, to help with low end torque/power. i think beefed up injectors and a MSD Distributor would help to so those are in the works too.
