Building a Hyundai Excel Race Car? Start Here.
This guide brings together the main areas to consider when preparing a Hyundai Excel for circuit racing, track use or a fresh race-car build. It is designed as a practical starting point so you can find the right parts without having to search the entire catalogue.
1. Brakes
Start with the components that affect consistency and confidence: pads, rotors, brake cooling, braided lines, rear brake condition and bias control.

2. Cooling & Reliability
Cooling-system condition is critical in race use. Check the radiator, thermostat, upper and lower hoses, bypass hose, radiator cap and coolant plumbing before chasing performance.
3. Intake & Fuel
A reliable intake and fuel system helps keep the engine consistent session after session. Our race air box, fuel hose replacement and fuel-pressure components are grouped together here.

4. Steering, Suspension & Setup
Good setup starts with repeatable measurements. String alignment, turntables, steering-wheel locking and a level flat patch make it much easier to make meaningful changes to camber, toe and corner weights.
5. Driveline & Engine Control
Engine movement, shifter condition, driveshaft clearance and clutch condition all affect how the car behaves under load. Solid mounts, shortened driveshafts and the Excel Garage short shifter are common race-preparation upgrades.
6. Safety & Race Preparation
Make sure the car's safety equipment and scrutineering preparation are complete before the final setup work. Window-net hardware, sealing bolts, hubs and other race-prep items are grouped together below.
7. Race Services
For work that is better handled in-house, Excel Garage offers race gearbox preparation and weld-in roll cage fabrication, with race engine work and other specialist services available through our workshop.
