JDM Cars and Coffee | 2026 | Encinitas, CA
WrongSide Motors Cars & Coffee: JDM Edition brings that early-morning tuner energy to Encinitas, pairing coffee with carefully curated Japanese domestic-market rides.
This one leans fully into the JDM culture, so the lineup should include imports, tuners, sports cars, and street machines that carry the precision, stance, and style of Japanese performance builds. The atmosphere is casual but focused, with enthusiasts walking the lineup, chatting about builds, and enjoying the coffee-shop-style pace rather than a competitive car-show format.
Organized by WrongSide Motors, the event is scheduled for Saturday, June 13, 2026, from 11 am to 2 pm. The JDM Edition aspect gives it a narrower but deep identity, emphasizing engine swaps, suspension work, and performance tuning that defines the import scene. Jim’s Garage and Cars by Tyler will be present, along with tacos from Chicho, adding to the community-driven, local flavor.
Happening at 607 S Vulcan Ave in Encinitas, San Diego County, the location gives the meet a small-shop, enthusiast-friendly feel that works well for cars and coffee. Guests can expect sports cars, hatchbacks, coupes, and other classic and modern JDM builds, parked for easy viewing and casual conversation. The Encinitas setting keeps it connected to the broader Southern California import car culture.
Take your time with this one. WrongSide Motors Cars & Coffee: JDM Edition is less about size and more about detail: the quality of builds, the knowledge in conversations, and the coffee in hand make this a morning meet worth lingering at for anyone who loves Japanese automotive culture.
