Coronado Speed Festival also opens its track to the San Diego State University Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (FSAE) team, a student-run organization which designs, manufactures and markets an open wheel race car. "What could possibly be a better place for race cars and show cars. Organization dedicated to furthering the sport of drifting – an untimed freestyle motor sport that is judged based on achievement of the supreme sideways angle and speed in the corner. Drifting exhibitions will be during lunchtime on both Saturday and Sunday, as well as following the final race on Saturday. "I went last year [to Coronado Speed Festival] and I loved the fact that it was on an airstrip," he says.
Hey. I'm looking into buying an old 72 Datsun 510 two door. I would lower it, put racing wheels on it all new suspension and maintenence parts and finally drop in an sr20det. I want to know if this will effect the weight distribution too much and if the body can take power like that. Also, will this car be able to take turns and be a driven track car? Thanks a lot! (asked by Cole R on November 24, 2009)
A: Hey cole, I also have a datson 510 coupe with an Sr20 and i don't think you will have a problem with any type of weight distribution. While its probably not 50/50 because of how heavy the cast iron motor is, its probaby only 100lbs off, which you wont even be able to tell a difference. As far as the body goes, yes, it can hold the power an sr20 can give it all day long. However if you were wanting to do some heavy drag racing i would say get some subframe connectors. As far as being a track car with the right suspension upgrades the car shouldn't have a problem, i drive my somewhat daily with not problem. But i would recommend coilovers, i think you can find some around 750-1000, ALL the bushings, i believe a whole kit is around 180, see if you can find a cheap brake upgrade like the 300zx kit or something, and strut and sway bars and you should be good to go! if you have anymore questions man just let me know! Hope this helps! (answered by Cmercer on November 24, 2009)
