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.

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!

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.

    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
    • Hey all. I’m looking on replacing my speed sensor on my R33 GTR. Will the center differential need to be drained, and if so, the center diff uses ATF fluid D? I found information on the transmission, front diff and rear diff. Can’t find a for sure answer for the center diff. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
