Ouch...well get that motor running and check back with me...from the looks of how many people will be attending this will become a regular meet.

And...
Everyone, be sure to bring parts to swap. New guys to this thread be sure to read from the beginning for every detail.

Anyone have specific parts that they will be bringing or want someone to bring to the meet for swapping?

Have you tried a junkyard around here?

I have several headlights, a stock side mount, springs, an air box w/ the bottom cut off, ESi 5spd tranny, TSi 5spd tranny, and some other stuff too. If you need something ask.
 
What year and condition are those lights in since we are parts shopping. All I have is a 420A valve cover to bring. I can't wait for this meet, I don't know any DSMer in Des Moines besides the internet talk here.

I'll try getting pics of parts I'll be bringing on here in the next few days.

By the way there are plenty of people in Des Moines and the Metro area. Look at my buddy list here on dsmtuners.com all but maybe 10 of those guys live in Iowa and about 75% here in Des Moines/ Metro area.
 
Yeah, I saw that huge list, but are all those people still active on the forums? I know quiet a few people register and spend maybe a week on here just for a single question. I'm thinking there are maybe 20-30 people in Des Moines that are on these forums as active users who upgrade their cars beyond repairs.
 
got a guy with a 1g tsi I saw at the track in cedar falls Saturday coming and also a guy here in Ames with a white 2g gsx and several others with others cars that are more in to the enthusiasts than ricers

Good work, that kind of recruiting will be well worth it.

No not all of them all, but I've been determined to trying to make this meet a good one so I sent all of those in people on my buddy list that are in the area a PM inviting them.

I saw that Splitpi(Jeremy I believe) the one that people had talked about before had a little activity today after no activity for some time and I sent him a PM since comments have been made on this thread that the man knows his stuff.
 
Hey guys I will probably come. Trying to get my buddy to pony up and buy his head so he can come too with his car.


18 Sat DSM Central Rental Event @ Cordova Dragway park on the ILL side of the Mississippi (this is in may) are any of you guys going to come?

Im going! Plus I am going to test and tune Friday so see how slow I am going to be.

i went to trails end
its the only place that has 2g
Click to expand...

Sunset gets 2Gs also. They're very strict about you going into the yard though so you can't really "shop around" there like you can at Trails End, but mekal and I are banned from Trails End so we always go to Sunset.
 
I could possibly come. Check out my gallery for what i drive.

I could also maybe bring about 4-5 other DSMs. All being modified and a most being fairly fast. This is of course we can all get the day clear.

Just keep us updated, if you're going for sure let us know so I can get you put on our list of people attending.

Thanks,

how do you get banned from a junk yard

wheres sunset?
Click to expand...

I don't know the exact road, but if you go down SE 14th and turn East on to Maury St. then it ends at an intersection on the street Sunset is on. Take a right (going South) and then it's your first left not even 60ft down the road. It looks real crappy and you have to drive a ways back in there to get to their office( on the left hand side). My advice is call them before you go to see if what you need is there and then if it is be sure to check in at the office first. AND they have loose donkeys that run around the junkyard as their "alarm" system.

Here's their number:

Sunset Beach

515-266-5201

And we got banned because my friend needed a turning signal unit. When we tried buying it they were going to make us buy the whole steering column. So my friend decided to put it by the fence and back up to it when we left and snatch it. Well they watched us leave, took it back, and then after he tried getting the guys to fight him they eventually got us to leave and said to never come back. I've been back since, but not with him.
 
Hey check my blogs under the DSM meet in Des Moines, Iowa Category too for updates.
