Hyundai Excel Racing Series - Track Attack - Evil things are about to happen to Hyundai Excels  

wasas

yeah I'm doing my research now, just kept reading about expirey dates on harness's and how they are good for 4 years.

Any word on the cages?

trackattack

I use 2" rpm harness to AS2596 which complies with AASA and CAMS requirements.
These harness do not have an expiry date.
They are also road legal in my car due to the age of the car (pre 1972)


I need to get a car to paul so that he can work out the steel required for the cages,
but they could be as little as $300 either for a 4 point bolt in kit or 4 point welded in if you take him the car.
price range for cages should be between $300 to $600, will confirm as soon as I can.

Talking about Safety gear I have Leather and Nomex gloves to SFI rating that sell I usually sell for $100.00 each
I will do gloves from my current stock of blue and white ones for $60.00 each for you guys.
I currently have 3 large pairs and 2 medium pairs in stock

almost out of boots and race suits, will probably order some more stock soon.

Hi Guys, for anyone interested we are able to supply 4 point, 5 point and 6 point harnesses at good prices, we can also provide fire extinguishers, CAMS Sticker sheets, battery disconnect kits, race seats, helmets and much more.

wasas

We need boots, suits, gloves and a helmet to race circuit dont we? package deal?

trackattack

for sprinting you only need long clothes and a helmet.
but yes for circuit racing you need 1 piece overalls, boots and gloves.

If I can get some idea of how many people are interested i can put a deal together.
I dont like to buy too many race suits for stock if I can help it due to the cost.
but if I know that a certain amount are required I can get them in.

race suits can come in
single cotton
double cotton/nomex
double nomex/nomex
sizes XS to 3XL (I have found you need to go up a size)

is there going to be any restirctions on tyre widths? I have some 13x7 rims that would fit 225 tyres which would go mint on a excel

trackattack

At this stage as long as your not running race tyres and they are 13" I haven't proposed any further restrictions.

what do you guys want ?
do you want to restrict it to something like 195 or 205 70 series or just go open on the size ?

whats the general consensus ?

wasas

what are the cheapest KU36's in 13"? it's what everyone will basically end up running

EDIT: hmm smallest is 15" for a ku36 it seems.

trackattack

there is none http://kumhotyres.businesscatalyst.com/pcrku36.htm
gonna have to look harder than that.....

I am making a few calls about potential tyres today, will let you know what I come up with.

trackattack

If your after Kumho's the KH15 will be An Option.
I was just talking to Craig and he reckons they will go great on the light weight Hyundai and we can probably do them for less than $100 each
http://kumhotyres.businesscatalyst.com/pcrkh15.htm

I will see what else I can come up with.

NISMOgemini

i reckon any tire size as long as they fit without modding the car to do so..

wasas

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/13-Inch-Marangoni-T...fe#ht_890wt_939

185/70/13 seems to be the only wider 13".

so we aren't locked to the 13" rim size anymore? maybe make it a max 15" / 205 width??

NISMOgemini

13" diameter is the on only restriction so far. nothing about width or tire size

trackattack

those Marangoni tyres are Cheap ~!

I have 205 60 13 Nankangs that i use for dyno tyres on the datsun
see here - http://www.nankangtyres.com.au/prodDetail.php?pid=4
and here http://www.nankangtyres.com.au/prodDetail.php?pid=40




all right fuck it lets make the decision that you can run any tyre width and any rim width that fits
without modyfying the guards or the suspension etc.
:cheers:

Mind you I will be running whatever tyres come on the car when I buy it !
heres the plan
Saturday- purchase hyundai excel
Saturday night - strip the guts out of it
Sunday - arrive at Lakeside and flog the crap out of it

wasas

dammit! I gotta keep the thing road legal :\ this is going to make it hard!

Does this still mean you have to run a 13" rim?

trackattack

yes 13" wheel size.
You are permitted to bend the struts to achieve negative camber
this will help fit fatter tyres under the guards.

trackattack

OK so who actually has an excel already and is going to sprint it ?
who is planning to buy one ?
and who is bidding against me on ebay at the moment ?

just after a bit of an idea on numbers
cheers.

wasas

Planning to buy one. am watching that nice 98 on ebay... I missed the other one last week for 500

Turbo Tim

I think its a great idea.

Im not a number you can add at the moment, but I am trying to get somethings in order if it takes off. Hopefully later in the year I might be in a position to get involved.

We built up a similarly cheap car for sprints about 5 years ago and it really is heaps of fun giving something you dont care about a hard time! You are so much happier knowing you dont have to drive it to work on monday.

crashed33

im in

Big_Red_

I'm going to try and find a mate to split all the costs. Hopefully i can but might be hard.

Jono

I will be buying one in the next week or so for sure
just stop bidding against me ladies

Jono

I will also be buying saturday, stripping saturday night and driving to the track sunday

trackattack

looking good. if we can get 5 or 6 to start with things will grow from there.
sometimes wreckers have drivable cars for sale, might be work a look.

greenmachine15s

duno what the big deal is with tyres. those things would be flat out spinning the stock tyres in the wet

Evaded Motorsport

Evaded Motorsport

Stupid statement the issue is lateral grip rather than anything else.

SACK

You guys better not be bidding on a blue excel on ebay FFS!!!!

TwinCam16

You guys are silly enough to buy off ebay at the moment when you are ALL after the same care.... are yas? :headwall:

PRO050

Mybe you should take you car out to Lakeside and see if you can beat the 2 excels running around at the moment.
This class is cheap, fun motor sport but make no mistake a 69 sec time around the fastest track in Australia (overall average speed) is no joke, and put 10 to 20 plus Excel on the track at the same time will be insane fun.
Cheers Paul

20VGT

This is an insanely great idea.

Well done. I plan to keep an eye on this, hopefully it is still going next year, I would love to be a part of it.

Unfortunately our baby being due in 2 weeks is killing my chances of doing it this season

TwinCam16

BS - Baby bonus racing!

This sadly is a great idea, its a good way to get ouy on the track in a car that you dont mind if it gets wrecked, or if it does cheap to fix (or buy another). will also be good building block for people wanting to get into circuit stuff.

Was wondering how many people are actually getting into it? and how many races are you looking to run a year?
