No matter what metal is removed we need to make sure that they are still safe, or the powers that be will just ban them altogether if we start using cars that are so stripped out that they become unsafe/unpredicatble. |

Win with skill then, not because your car's lighter. I know it's not door to door racing, it was a poor metaphore for the timed laps. And we all know that when there's a few evenly matched cars on track near eachother it turns into a bit of a dice |

QUOTE (Marlin @ Mar 30 2010, 10:04 AM)  Win with skill then, not because your car's lighter. We obviously see the series different. I won't get into it if there needs to be much preperation to the car needed, I have a real car I'd prefer to spend time and money on. The attraction to the series for me was an excel can be kind of treated like a "tear-off", if you blow it up or bend it, just get another and swap your bolt in cage and tyres over into another $500 excel and you're away again....... This. Stock body. Save arguments. We are running and need to keep our shitbox road legal, so most people have an advantage on us already.. but its too much fun to give a shit about. come circuit racing for door to door action

nice. my spair wheels are exactly that 15x7 ET38 QUOTE (slow bus @ Mar 29 2010, 07:32 PM) They have 38 stamped on the back of them so assuming they are 38. It is the biggest rim you can fit under the guard of an excel, and I only paid $100 for the set, they are strainght balanced and no cracks
so using 4 of the QR "special" tyres, wheels and tyres will be under $500  I have pulled half a 20l bucket of sound deadener out already and still have the front to go, going to attack the doors and rear section with a grinder to pull out more weight, with a bit of work I think you can get them under 900kg including cage  |

It may be possible to run a race / sprint / Hillclimb series over 5 or 6 different tracks if there is enough interest. |

QUOTE (trackattack @ Mar 30 2010, 08:11 AM) I personally would like the rule to be - that uncaged cars cant remove or modify any of the original metalwork. - that 6 point fully caged cars with both side intrusion bars can remove non structural metalwork, but not alter the exterior panels. Unless there is a huge backlash against this then I will probably instigate the above. what do people think ? I Already knocked the front on my car and the metal in these is light weight and very workable I would keep as much as the metal as you can, i have most my interiour out but i have some with full cars doing 4 sec's better that me and i am a light weight guy, focus on engine health and getting around corners, tyres |

QUOTE (MadXL @ Mar 30 2010, 07:52 PM) hey all Excel Drivers, SWAY BARS i have been in chats with jeff about the bars we can use as i already went out and got mine i have a nice new 18mm on the rear but was told by whiteline they only made a 22mm solid to replace the orig 22mm hollow front bar which they no longer make due to lack of sales(bad timing for them), and jeff is talking about staying with 18mm on the fronts as well, but i think there would not be any benifit, not that i think a supplier will make anything less than a 22mm sports bar, we need to know what others think and know about Excel front sway bar and do you want 22mm front solids or search for 18mm bars or stick with the standard. Dave Dunno why you'd even bother upgrading the front sway. A 22mm solid bar is just going to make it understeer. Having finally given ours a good flogging on decent tyres over the weekend, it's surprisingly neutral at the limit and we're not in any real hurry to get a RSB. |

Have the day off on Tuesday so could do it then To buy Talons go here - http://www.trackattack.com.au/talon takes about 3 days to get them into stock RE the fuel cell. I would prefer to not modify the existing fuel system unless its a safety upgrade. I thought you were trying to keep the budget in check, fuel cells wont be cheap. |

The reason I asked about the fuel cell is that I might be able to get a few ally cells made to fit in the spare wheel area!!! But happy to keep the original tank. |
