It was until last weekend. That's why you haven't seen photos of it before now. ;)

 

Teddy, I've already removed the frangipani stickers wayne's wife stuck on it. :)

 

Yes, it's a Hyundai Rally series car. Thus it has all the inside trppings of a rally car, and under the bonnet is a completely un-modified SOHC (it's not even the twinkie...) 1495cc donk. Sorry to disappoint you guys.

 

I've been insturcting a lot of people with front drive cars, and have never raced one myself. I was offered this thing for a couldn't-refuse-price. So I thought I'd give wrong wheel drive a go. The plan is to run it until the end of next year and sell it for around what it owes me (someone will still be getting a cheap, good car), so it's a cost neutral exercise.

 

 

I was gonna say a bit of respect lost for you there.... I spose it would be interesting to give it a go, but

even still :) Hope the tint on the helmet is mighty dark, I would not want to be seen in that.

I put my balaclava on backwards. :)

I've lost count of how many of these repugnant little kimchi scented jellybeans I've gone through now... :)

Damn ya had me going there..when i spotted the roll cage, i got curious and thought maybe a monster lyed under the hood...had the whole speeper thing goin...

 

but at the end of the day...it's still an excel

at the end of the day, with Roberto driving it, hahah everyone in this thread wouldn't have a chance.

Nick that Excel is so wrong but so right on so many levels

 

Kudos to you for the amount of work that would have gone into that :)

Texas?

Redwarf if you haven't already, you should talk to Wagonist/Steve on Toymods, he's in the process of prepping (last time I talked to him) an Excel rally car
