doesn't really matter how much hp it makes though, as long as it feels brutally fast and gives big smiles away every time you drive it. I never tested my numbers and couldn't care less about them as long as my standard answer to the question "how fast is it?" will be "faster than the others" ;)

Caus let's be honest, I don't get involved with Agera's, Veyrons or LaFerrari's on the street too often, so I won't be meeting faster cars after all :vroom:

Any Vbox times ?

Hahahah awesome! That made me chuckle!!

I do have a print out, its in the car under cover in my unit though. The power is straight up, extremely smooth. Ill see if i can dig it out later this week. The guy i brought it off showed me a vid filmed by his mate following him in a atom 300 3, the vid shows it just scampering off down the straights. I dont have a standard 300 as a reference but getting power down will be key. Just form experience on the road i need tyre temp for traction, its spins up in many gears without it, but once the tyres are up to temp and i have a few miles on them, traction is surprisingly good! Out of the bends in anger on track……we'll see. Literally peeing my pants with excitement to get her on track :)

Totally see what you are saying mate, can appreciate it all being wasted on track. We'll soon see later this year. But I'm pretty confident it will be a weapon. Came from exiges and nobles before this, and had some serious fun in those!!

Sounds great, impressive numbers. I only know of 1 rotrex powered one over here and it didn't seem quicker than my 275 on track....but that could also be my awesome steering  :roflp:
Do you have the dyno chart? I'm pretty curious on how the power curve goes, it seemed to me at that time that the power was more peaky than on the Jackson chargers. Could also be the case that almost 400 whp just is to much too handle at some points and it doesn't actually make the car quicker on the track. (untill it gets tamed by a proper driver that is)

Doesn't matter too much, the thrill and kick in the back is all that matters and very quick it is for sure

hahahah…..380 Wheel horse power ;) So I'm guessing somewhere between 410 and 430bhp? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

So any known rotrex owners on this site in the uk guys?

best regards

380 bhp  ;D ;D ;D

MONSTER - Your not wrong :roflp:

Right!! …Managed to get a few miles under my belt with with this monster now!! I have to say it is absolutely incredible!!! Speed i haven't experienced before. I know there will be a lot of atom lovers here that won't be keen on the fact it has the original charger has been changed. But once you've been in it i think you'd change your mind.

So wheels and tyres have been changed, she's now wearing a set of Dynamics in matt black with the avon rubber. Original wheels are on ao48's.

The car went into backdraft motorsport last month, brakes were all sorted and a massive improvement!!! Serviced and full suspension set-up. What a different that made!!! Whoever fitted the nitrons just basically blonked them on, all 4 corners were miles out.

Then finally went back to the engine builders TTS performance at silverstone. These guys built the engine, full forged internals, rotrex charger, clutch masters clutch etc……. Car has had a custom made exhaust on it, and i think was running a little rich. So got her on the dyno, which was great to see. Car is mapped at a nice and safe 379.03 WHP!!!!!!! …..absolutely chuffed with this! running absolutely perfectly and seriously seriously fast. Not sure on exact weights, but this gives me between 8-900 bhp per ton i think!! crazy speed.

So I've have a good look on here and seen many posts about the guy in the states. Any guys on here with a rotrex charger?

Amazing first 5 months of ownership, I'm happy i pretty much have the car where i want it, ready for the track days to begin in may.

I was actually looking for someone to copy the bubbels for me, but than in a 1,5 inch lower version and with the end sticking right up in the air, a bit like adding a gunsight to the bubble, all in 1 part. This would still keep the Atom 2 looks but give the Atom 3 gunsight comfort...

Hey!! Exactly like this!!

Im obviously new to the atom but i feel the bubble screen is not great for visibility. I could unbolt them but it would look unfinished. So reducing the height of them would work very well i think. Ill be looking at these over the next few weeks.

Was just wondering if anyone else had changed them? I remember someone saying the new panels form the 3 wouldn't fit.

Best regards

Something Like this ?

Im going to experiment and cut the bubbles down at work, making 2 small lips (much like the attached pic of the 2-11). I presume available of new parts from atom is ok normally, just incase I'm not happy with them. Anybody tried altering these before?

regards

What about the panel that houses said gunsights/bubble screens incorporating such a screen/kick up?  :wize:

That's what I meant,  the front tea tray or dash panel or whatever you wanna call it.  It'd make more sense to redesign the full piece rather than an add on as there's too many variations of it to design an add on that would fit all.

What I could do I suppose is design windscreens of varying Heights that are interchangeable and can be changed to suit purpose/mood.

Different screen heights would be a great idea and very individual....

Interesting!!!! i think ultimately a redesign of the whole set-up would work but would involve a lot of work? Looking at that 2-11 set-up, a smaller version of this as a straight swap for the bubbles would work? They just unbolt easy, and would be nice not to loose the visibility. That looks like a nice alternative
