Hey guys, sounds like awesome fun,

Just wondering when the next sprints are on at lakeside?

Also, what drivers license do you need?

Lakeside sprints are sunday I think, A little late to register now (tho u can try!), circuit racing on the 23/2 will be the one to watch tho! that shit goes epic.

as for licence, I dont think you even need one? well not a drivers licence anyway. You do need a AASA std one for $60 by memory, and for the circuit you need a AASA clubman one (200$ a year)

Awesome day today. Roughed up a Swift a bit when he went for a gap that wasn't there. Bit of a bummer that our engine let go in the last race, I think I was in 4th at that point.


I've been twiddling with the iPhone and an app called Harry's Lap Timer. Check it out:

Here's vid of practice yesterday:

Nice one guys
I am thinking of leasing an Excel for the next round.

EXCEL CUP ROUND 1 SUCCESS
NEWSFLASH

Round 1 of the Excel Cup Top Gear Circuit Racing a resounding success.

With 12 Excels and 4 Suzuki Swift Series cars joining the field our first round of racing for 2011 was fantastic viewing for the large crowd of Spectators at Lakeside Raceway.

Congratulations go to all the drivers who received numerous compliments regarding their level of professionalism on the day.

Race 1 went to Peter Nankervis holding off a very determined Suzuki with Paul Butler and Brett Parish holding off 2 more swifts for 3rd and 4th.

Race 2 Peter again showed the swifts how to pedal around Lakeside with Paul finishing 4th.

Race 3 Peter held the swifts off for a couple of laps before locking a brake going into Karosel and beaching himself, Paul finished 2nd with Brett and Steve Hay rounding out the top 5.

Race 4 finished with a swift in 1st Paul 2nd Brett 5th and a hardcharging Peter finishing 6th after starting rear of field.

We wish the swifts all the best as they travel to Calder Park for the first round of their National Series, but I am sure that some of them were scratching their heads at the performance of the Mighty Excels.

Catch the next Round of the Excel Cup at Queensland Raceway Sunday 17th April 2011

HI All,

I'm chasing some longer wheel nuts for the excel x3.
The standard ones are a little short in length for the alloy wheels.

Anyone using something else other than standard?

Thanks.

So, guys, I'm trying to figure out what's up with the Pork Hunt Excel.

We have an intermittent problem that is causing significant power loss - in the last race I was placed 4th when it hit, and was subsequently overtaken by nearly every single Excel within two laps - even the guys that are 8-10 seconds a lap slower than me.

The symptoms are this:
it occurs only intermittently, possibly worse when hot
significant power loss above a certain rpm
engine won't rev easily when it occurs
loud high pitched metallic clanging noise
I don't think the noise is detonation per se, but pinging seems like an accurate way to describe it.
It goes away if I let off the gas and let the revs fall - power below that certain rpm range seems unaffected.
I can't reproduce the noise revving the engine in neutral - it seems to happen only under load

I've no idea what the fuck is going on. Something in the top end maybe? Would a dodgy injector cause it?

It may be easier just to find another engine and stick it in, but we've already done the timing belt/water pump in this thing and it was pretty strong up until now. We might get a dud with another second hand engine. On that note, if anyone in brissy has an engine crane they could lend us that would be so awesome.

So, collected engine gurus, WTF is going on?

Actually, anyone have a compression gauge or better yet, facilities to do a leakdown test? Or an OBDII reader?

Ben let me have a stab, your intake or lack of it makes it run lean and power drops off when it gets hot, my falcon used to do it when I first started to race it.

i'm no engine guru but it does sound like it's leaning out.. agree on injectors, or maybe the AFM sensor (or do the excels use a MAP sensor?). ummmm... also could be fuel filter or pump?

we have a twin cam (MAP), will check the fuel filter and lines... Hope its something simple
