The centre bore needs to be 67.1 mm. About the only other company that has this size is Mitsubishi.

Best use of a Hyundai Excel ever ...

Circuit missles !!! :P

But seriously, it's a great way to get out and learn some race craft, just hope the engines hold up for a season :D



++ Spot on, totally agree, I think the clutch would be first to go :(

any chance of bumping the wheel size upto 16" there is alot more choice

basically the best value for money rubber thats allowed right now is the KU36, at about 120/corner. in the 16" its more expensive and I dont see the point. most people will want to run the best tyre for the competaitve edge, so by making it a 205/50/15 it'll basically be a control tyre

As for storage, ours is going to find a home on the street with the dizzy or something similar removed. not like your too worried about paint fade..

How are you guys planning to transport these?
I'm not liking the look of an extra $100 for a trailer ontop on entry fee's.

I reckon keep them registered will be the cheapest option if you dont own a car trailer.
I drove my Datsun to race meetings for years before getting a trailer.

thanks for posting that benno... least its not a full blown mug shot!
and yes, keep it road reg is easy. mod plate for seats (eg 2 seater) and a cage is about $200. rego for 6 months is 500.
drive it for 2 years and its still cheaper that a trailer.

I think alot of people will be suprised when they cant drive home. I think this series will be like the HQ's. There is only 1 car that had a straight panel at the of the day and he had pole position and stayed out in front when everyone was rubbing behind him.

rubbing is racing

Post #262

I'd like to think it'll be a little bit more gentlemanly than that.... but a few bumps are to be expected.

Just so you guys know, sprints arn't "races" in that you're not racing other cars you're simply trying to get the best possible timed lap. Your position doesn't matter in a sprint however in the actual races (CAMS approved etc..) then your position means something.

Has anyone actually fitted 205 wide x 15 inch on their car? I had a look then and clearence on the suspension / steering components looks very tight. :(

Did you read the thread? There was mention of both sprints and 'races'. The later referring to actual races under AASA rules.

trackattack
Post #266

Yes we will be running sprints and races, both will be under AASA licensing system at QR & LP.
Sprints at Willowbank park dirt track and Carnell Raceway will also be under AASA.
We are also looking at doing another day at Mt Cotton Hillclimb, this event would most likely be cams.

just picked up this little white car today.
needs a couple of CV's and a water pump before I bring it out racing.

Post #269

doing the water pump on mine atm, what a c*#t of a job and I cant get the crank pulley bolt undone, my rattle gun wont budge it, tried the starter method and nothing. Tomorrow I will try the 3 foot pole method put it in 5th foot on the brake and swing off the pole

Interior is all stripped so should be good for the April round

not for points in the excel series, but you can come and run with the excels, no problems.
The S coupe would be in our normal naturally aspirated class competing for points against escorts etc.

There's more in there than you'd think. I reckon close to 10kg.

Finished gutting the interior of ours today, oil is draining right now.

We need some brake pads!

We have 6 Excels entered for the make up round (rained out) on the 7th - entry list here

I reckon we will also have a couple of extra cars ready for the scheduled round on the 14th
It would be good to see a few Excels at Carnell Raceway at Stanthorpe on Easter Saturday as well.
There will be VW's to compete against, and maybe a few Mini's as well !
