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

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

Hmmmmm!..... maybe I should stop spending money on the Skyline and throw a bit at Mick's Lanos.......

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!

[AndyMac]

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.

Note: Rigolis Accent

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

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!

[R33]

Croat: reverse is also true, for the amount we spend on modifying our GTST's we could buy a nice GTR :uh-huh:

Same arguement

Each to their own

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.

[Guest nismogtsx]

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.
