Eibach have a sale on at the moment for 94-96 springs, which are the ones that fit your ride. and what ever u do, dont cut the springs.

As for rubber i guess a 185/195 60-55 14 would work.


got a link?

A-frames require the mountings on the car to be permanently mounted and engineered, and the available one for the Excels are HUGE and come out below the front bar!!!

I looked at the idea and also a tow dolly where the front wheels sit on a mini trailer but there may be some issue with an unregistered vehicle having its rear wheels on the road!!!! I am waiting for formal confirmation either way from Qld Transport. When I get the answer I will post it.

210 for aasa for the year for circuit, sprints only is 55.

Also, request for springs (good for only SOHC x3's eg 94-6/97 ):

I'm in a similar position right now, no lic but you can drive the track on a track licence, so as long as u can get the car there your sorted.


As for car transport, just keep it road reg :) none of our crew have a trailer/towbar, or anything to tow it with, so we bit the bullet and are keeping it on the road.

Does the car being towed need to be registered ......... I had the same question and looking through the Transport legislation it appears to be an offence to drive or TOW and unregistered vehicle on a Qld road!!!!! That was why I asked the question of QLD Transport.

Looks like I may be going the trailer route as well.

Just got back from looking at my FREE Excel!!!! Mechanically good but cosmetically a bit stuffed, but hey it free, OH and it's an X1 so looks like there may be 2 of us!!!!

On a trailer yer it's fine, but on an A-frame things are a bit different.

Post #434

Hey Beanie... you are right. But with an a-frame and a dolly trailer the car or part of it is on the road. If its on a trailer, it is not on the road.... the trailer is.

oh yeah of course... i should have read your post a little better :)

Do we need to keep the original head lights?? The head lights on the one I got are broken. So I was thinking of replacing them with aliminium or fibreglass panels of the same shape rather than trying to buy new ones.

Beannie
Post #440

no body mods are allowed, so i would assume you would have to keep standard headlights in there??

trackattack
Post #441

its preferred to have original glass in place,
how will you be when we go night racing with no head lights ?

We are organising the numbers.
AMS is making them for us, there is no charge to the Excel drivers for the numbers.

I think that Richard has made 55 & 75 ready for this weekend
We are making the numbers up as the cars are entered.

If we dont have your official numbers ready there are numbers to borrow at the track.

Post #447

75 would be us!! :)

It was our first time out there last weekend, watch the briefing and pay attention to flags etc. when you go out you'll get the idea of it, just like driving on the road.
if you write your car off first corner (in a excel) your brakes dont work at all. if you havn't flushed them yet do it now. our x3 had some serious bubbles in the lines.
1 lap around and you'll basically know the line you WANT to take. taking it doesn't happen till about the second session, but its still great fun :) but yeah just take it easy and you'll be fine.
