yeah.. that sure is a great pic!

what is it with excels anyhow? My mate used to live on a corner where 1 would cruise past really slowly (i think to check out the import cars parked there!) and it had such a horrid drone that when the auto changed into second it would wake up their baby!

Now, we all drive import cars with 3 inch exhausts.. we dont wake the kid up!

Man it was just plain nasty. She rang the cops one saturday after they did about 7 laps past!

I havn't seen that car anywhere in town since!

At Super Sunday, Parklands on the Gold Coast,.... a P-plater with a stock civic sedan (correction; I think he had Altezza-style lights) with air-bag suspension boucing up and down in front of the crowds as though he was driving a '64 Impala down Crenshaw Boulavarde in South Central LA. Only thing was, this Civic was banged up, panel damage, paint and duco missing, with bumpers hanging off on one side.

Each time he flicked the switches, it was like a bunny-hopping scrap heap,.... mind you, the P-plater and his passenger no doubt thought they were uber-cool.

Oh, and he ended up breaking something from all that show-boating.

Hyundai Excel with dual cannon exhaust, one on each side of it's arse. Angle mounted pointing up and out. Plates "55 ETA" I hope for the love of god thats not supposed to be SS Eater. It was driven by sumone from my work so i shall find out who and give them a bit of shit :D

Saw this thing on the way to work this morning

The guy was driving it like an F1 car.

No wonder it was so mashed up..

And the police wounder why i question them pulling me over, when this POS is on the road.

the fact you're doing 180+ up the highway wouldn't have anything to do with it ?

More so why my ride heights are anything from 10mm to 50mm, why I lack cats, any form of mufflers, and why i have not mod plated roll cages in most case's.

With a sticker like that, a roll cage that's nice and obvious, and stripped out,... no wonder cops pull you over.

That sticker is definatley going to grab attention. :D

That's not your daily is it ? lol.

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
