Was just on the news a few minutes ago:

Around Adelaide and North Adelaide 2 guys have been on a rampage, vandalising late model Hyundai Excels. Juming on roofs and bonnets, slashing tyres, keying the paintwork, etc. They have done around 15 cars over the past couple of nights. Police recommended Excel owners dont leave their cars out on the street at night, and if possible to park them in garages.

I know this is a Skyline forum, but some of us may have second cars, or girlfriends or family who own an Excel.

Just though I would let you guys know.

I agree, if they want an EVO why dont they go & buy a real one

(there are still 3 brand new 6.5s at Yorke Mitsi)if not, it's a bit lame trying to make the base model look like the race one.

It's a bit different with the GTSt vs GTR thing 'cause a GTSt is a tough car in the first place.The standard lancer is far from tough -

it's a front drive, atmo 2litre.What more can I say!

i agree, vandalising peoples cars is ****ed up; i know, its been done to me.... :P

Even it is an Excel, it's still someone's pride n joy which they payed good money for. I dunno why you'd want to personally, but they obviously appeal to some people :(

The Excel appeals to me due to its bloody awesome fuel economy!

Wife & I had a '97 GX 3dr that we clocked up 120k on it (daily hack- many trips all about OZ!) The only thing we had to replace - a couple of blown headlight bulbs @ that was it! I gave that thing hell too!

Sydney - Adelaide = ~$100 fuel

Someones pride & joy, daily hack or whatever damaging someone else property is NOT ON :)

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.
