Gee they can dribble shiiiiiit on that site hey :uh-huh: did any one think of it maybe being supercharged?? It is quiet !!!!!

But who would want to spend that $4,500 or what ever it costs on a Hyundai n e way???? CAPA had one it ran a 14.5sec 1/4 mile with low boost. May be it is running more boost or sumthin??

But hey, who cares!!!!!! GTS-t will fry it ne way!!!:)

If its true its a classic and quite frankly good on the owner. Fact is some people do bizarre stuff with their money.

The owner must be laffing all the way to end of the road while beating hi performance cars in his excel.

All im going to say is its an excel, nobody knows for sure whats in it and the fact that so many people cant stop going on about it shows that some people out there are concerned about this "sleeper" hitting the runs.

PS: no im not a fan of excels but give this owner of this car some credit for his achievements :uh-huh:

I agree with By By. I think that it is a personal choice on what car to mod. Modding an excel to low 14's would be more of a challenge than modding a Skyline to a similar time.

I personally wouldn't mod an excel as it's what my Mum drives :D

But each to his own.

The best way to look at it is dollars spent to get to the time you run. If your car cost $20 and you spent $5K but someone elses car cost $14K and they spent $15K then you are in front in my books....

That's just an expample and not an actual figure :P

Yep!

I've personally seen an excel (the older X2-shaped one) run 14.1 at the motorplex in perth.

I know the guy that built it. I've seen it pull 2nd gear-start burnouts about 20m long.

It was running a 1.6L Turbo engine conversion from an Import Lancer.

Details can be found (including dyno sheets) at

http://www.swanautomotive.com/justkorean/p.../projects.shtml

I think it had 153FWHP by memory....

It was a true sleeper, even had an original exhaust tip welded to the back (didn't work tho) to make it look stock.....

So there... 14.1 from an excel is pretty dam good!

I remember a long long long long time ago in a old Hot4's or FF&R's someone actually converting an excel to 4wd and adding the an Evo engine.......with an excels weight (which i assum would be light) and those mods it would be quite a weapon.

Anyhow, not saying its the one, but doesn't the evo engine practially bolt up to the excell....again, a weapon.

I've seen it a couple times at the runz- chopping FTO- WRX's- VL Turbos- Supras- Nissan SSS 2LT

HUSTLR where these stock WRX's and NA supras etc...? I have seen some guiys pend BIG $$$$ on an excel with extractors, system, attempting to throw in a turbo (so i heard), custom interior etc... when it comes down yo it he could have bought himself a quick 33 gtst or something of the likes? a lot more classy if u ask me!

Hyundai Accent with Evo running gear and worked engine

Recently dynoed at approx 500HP AT THE WHEELS

I saw it run at Drag Combat, serious traction issues

Rigoli Accent

the only thing hyundia about that is the panels! dont go around saying any hyundia is fast please!

And i thought the tools driving around in kitted up excels with hyundia rally edition stickers on em were wankers! Sum 1 actually did sum engine work on 1 of those pieces of crap.

Well Tony's Accent ran a 10.4 at Willowbank at Jam's

I could not believe it......

I pay respect to all hy-one-days... AS if.

Also a joker in a silver Excel passed me on the way there at over 180kph..... That car was packed and probably sitting on bump stops... Crazy Excel drivers.... Just crazy...

NOTE: Tony's Accent i believe is not right, as all the running gear is from a mitz it should not be the fastest Accent in Australia...

IE. A gemini with a 13B running 8 seconds does not qualify as a fast gemini when it comes to records, as it would not be in a street catergory....

i own an excel with 2 1/4 inch zorst, Hve 4-1 extractors, Hve Tb, K&n filter and fueltronics chip. Its fast enuff to beat most STOCK commodores and falcons, all models up to EL for ford and Vt for commies, and most other similar 4's

BUT I would neva say its fast. I have to thrash the shit outta it to get it movin and consequently have done 2 boxes and a clutch cos of it.

Back to the topic of sleeper excels, the only reason i would go crazy moddin one is cos of power to weight, as i beleive excels weigh in at around 800-900 kg, so there pretty light.

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
