Welcome to the forum Jeremy. I'll add the FB page tomorrow.

 

yeah I got me an S5.

I don't have a facebook so just text me 340-8070

 

Anyone have experience doing the "Cars and Coffee" out at Sandia speedway? Any good?

Thinking about going on Aug 4th. $50 to run from 8am-12pm seems pretty reasonable.

 

They are all pretty much the same events: Drivers Club, Miata racing, Cars and Coffee..etc......they are fun you run usually 15 min sessions and the different car groups rotate.....definitely a good place to tune and test you car

I plan to take the FD out when i get the Apexi N1's and Bonez DP from David

 

How many people usually? Don't really need to T&T, just want to drive a bunch!

 

I hear you, you'll get more track time there than the autox (which is still fun to do ) i've seen 10 to 50 cars there just depends which one you pick I personally like the driver club and swms (but you need complete the car classes for the swms one)

 

I used to go to cars and coffee all the time. Most of the time not too many people show up so everyone is out on the track. Twice I have gone in the morning and by 11:00 everyone left and I had the track to myself. Lots of fun then, and I had the whole track to myself. I did the short course then oval and anyway I wanted. Just talk to the people there and if your all alone you can do what you want. I would love to go again but the FD is down. Just a word of advise take a tire temp gauge and watch your front right tire. If you are going all out you may want to rotate your tire front to back. i would almost kill a tire if I didn't rotate it halfway through the day. Have fun. I'll go if you guys want to make a small rx7 meet out of it, just won't be racing.

 

Not 100% sure I am going, I'll let you know when I decide.

 

It'd be amazing if we could reserve the track for a day, itd be so awesome seeing nothing but rotaries run the track!

 

yeah sandia is notorious for right tire wear 8 left turns and 3 rights bruta, that is why you should run hard compund tires on your right side and soft on the left for cornering advantage l!

we should plan one for like October to give folks time to setup and plan

 

I would def come by. That would give me time to indeed, plan.

 

MOMO pedals, I was looking and some are super sweet. I know its an Italian comp. Will the japanese gods of yesteryear look down upon me?

 

I can make it happen for sure. I know the owners of the track well. Once you get the date set I will ask.

 

I use a Momo steering wheel and a Momo shift ****.

 

This would definitely be nice to attend. I'm pretty sure I won't have anything put together this year though. Perhaps I'll start a local build thread to document what I'm working on.

 

I went to Sandia in December when it was nice and clear and there was 0 other people the whole time. Best part was that it was like 45 degrees out so it was a lot easier to keep her running cool

 

From a shell to running vehicle in 8 months! Fired her up Friday and made it to Desert Fest on Saturday.







Excuse my whack wheels/fitment. I plan to get some new wheels soon.

 

very nice!! congrats!!!!

 

Looks good man! Glad you get her up and running
The wheels could be way worse haha. If they were lower offset I honestly think they would look pretty good.

 

+1; your FD looks great.

 

Looking good. I love FDs

 

Nice

 

Some fc love from drift practice. Needs new front fenders to fit any decent wheels up front.

 

I think i bugged the **** out of my buddy because every time he/you went out i whined about how much i wanted a wing like that...
