So a 98 with 187k needing a new water pump for $500 is a good deal?? Actually looks too good to strip out though!!! Body is in really good condition and interior is spotless.

Any wreckers buying the interiors from those that have stripped theirs out???

NISMOgemini

i reccon they would buy it, but i doubt u would get much for it

Big_Red_

Pick up the exhaust this arvo .... car is raceable at the moment but isn't registered yet. 50/50 on whether i want to hire a trailer for the 14th or wait....

wasas

I'd say thats a good deal. if your handy with a spanner the pump is 60, and about 3hrs of work. there is a guide someone on replacing one. You could try and sell the bits on ebay but i doubt you'll get much. never know tho.


Where did you get the zorst done? we want to go have a chat to someone about getting a 2.25" header back done with a removable cat.
care to share your guy and throw him some more work?

Big_Red_

Ultimate Performance Exhausts in Brendale mate......i just went for the cat back system, 2" - straight through muffler.

Beannie

hi jeff, i haven't paid for the day yet (havent even received the car yet), but am i able to reserve a number in the mean time?
(and, as we have 2 drivers, is it possible to have two numbers or is it 1 number per car?)

PRO050

8 Excel's entered already for Sunday 7/3/10 sprint's at Lakeside, sure to be a mad day.
Keep it off the fences guys, and have a great day of racing.
Cheers Paul
Keep an eye out for no. 22 Green EB falcon.

trackattack

yes, if you let me know what numbers you want I will put your name against it in the numbers register - www.trackattack.com.au/excel

It depends how you enter the car,
If you single enter the car and have a seperate driver for each event you will only need one number
If you single enter the car and share one entry then the time keepers will only want you to have one number, they wont care who is driving.

You can can also double or triple enter the car and run it in two or three separate groups.
they have numbers at the track that can be taped to the side of the car if extra ones are needed on the day.

trackattack

sounds like an excellent deal to me
I started the water pump on mine last night, hoping to finish it tonight/tomorrow morning if i get time.
I am doing the timing belt as well while i am at it.
so far its been fairly straight forward, just a lot of stuff to unbolt to get to the stuff underneath.

I sold the towbar of mine for $65 on ebay, so parts can be sold,
I reckon that the seats would be salable if they are in pristine condition.
Try some of the Hyundai forums.

Looks like I just got myself 2 1994 Excels for FREE!!!!

Is the 94 the first of the rounded shape?

trackattack

LOL I love it !
yeah the rounded shape x3 first came out in 94.
dont worry if they are the last of the old shape ones as they weigh the same and still have the fuel injected engine

nodrog

Cool, thats 1 for me and 1 for my wife!!!!

And I can get a crane truck to carry them both.

Looks like the 14th is going to be some fun!!!

We can do the exhaust if you like wasas, should be fairly cheap if you just want it press bent rather than mandrel bent.

There is a 98 twin cam available on gumtree.com.au with the asking price of $500 however he will take less as he is moving interstate and there are a few problems with the motor. It looks like it has blown a head gasket but other than that it seems ok. so if there is anyone looking for 1 and can swing a spanner this could be yours for about $300 (I was going to buy it until the free offer came up!!!)

The guys name is Mo-Zee and his no is 0411293316.

Hopefully this get anothe Excel on the track.

Another question - if I was to build my own roll cage where could I get the tube from, and what type of steel is it and what sizes??? (just realised this is actually 3 questions!!!)

Weather looks a bit average guys.

PRO050

Lakeside is a blast in the wet, has great grip levels.
So don't let a little ran worry you.
Cheers Paul

wasas

baaaahahaha. great levels when you hit the wall then you grip!

Anyway we'll be out there tomorrow after a marathon effort this afternoon/night. Farken nice work on the CV boot benno! I dont wish to ever replace one of them again
looking forward to meeting some of the excel crowd and having a char.

nodrog

Just got home from Lakeside!!!

Can't believe the speeds you guys were getting. Looked like a heap of fun.

I will be there next month.

Turbo Tim

Yep heaps of excels, 11 I think i counted. Looked like good fun! A few of them getting quite loose!

wasas

man that was enjoyable! Still amazed the punishment the car took, and even got us home. they are pretty solid.
and to the guy who binned his mates R32 into the wall at the end of the straight, I feel for you mate, I'd have my head pretty low as well. hope its not that bad.

Looking forward to any happy snaps that were taken too

NOS440

went for a look as well. you guys where hauling! even gave some of the other cars out there a run for their money. cant wait to join you next month....so who lost it at the back straight heading into the horseshoe? went full lock up, then sideways and off the track backwards......and that red rs2000 escort with the white stripe...he was out of control along the back straight there...i think he may have shit his pants once or twice...he was faaaast!!

THE GUYS WHO ENTERED ON THE DAY I NEED YOUR DETAILS SO THAT I CAN GET YOU INTO THE SYSTEM AND YOUR RESULTS UP ONTO THE TRACK ATTACK WEBSITE.

I dont have your entry forms or details when you enter on the day, the QR guys keep them all.
Thanks Jeff

wasas

Jeff, ment to ask whats the go with multiple drivers for one car? we had a shitfight with the people on the track and ended up emptying our wallets so we could all have a go.
would like to know how it works for next time out there so we can at least get the vasoline out this time.

trackattack

apparently they now want an additional time keepers admin fee when 2 or more drivers share the same car on the same day under one entry fee.

It came as a surprise to me as i had not heard of this before, doesnt make sense, but we are stuck with it for now.
2 separate entries in the same car do not attract the any additional costs.

sorry about the confusion, the first I had heard of this was today.

03osh

bought my beast, just an x1. i dont care if i get flogged its just for fun. already got ideas for the livery haha... this is her!

Top stuff Aaron.

NISMOgemini

so how did the cars hold up?? anyone run into any mechanical issues??? ill be out on the 14th for a look for sure..

trackattack

Pretty sure all of the Excels held up with no problems.
fastest excel was 68.11 - pretty quick, especially on road tyres.

NISMOgemini

looks like it was a good day. 11 is an excellent turnout

gee-aye-dee

would you be able to do a capacity series like say 85-95 1.3-1.5 im sure there would be heaps of interest there and not much power difference between models

wasas

they will most likely be broken down into other groups once there is enough. hell, I want to push for a road reg'd circuit class we cant shed as much weight as others...

As for reliable, well ours was bouncing off the limiter (opps) a fair few times and we still drove it home. no over heating issues, no braking issue, nothing went pop or bang. they seem pretty solid.

was the 68.11 the one running a little rich and lumpy?
