I had the inevitable happen on the Mk1..yes the flexi joint in the exhaust has come apart.
There are a few topics of this failing on both UK Atom 2 cars
http://forum.atomclub.com/index.php/topic,1792.0.html and the USA Atoms
http://forum.atomclub.com/index.php/topic,4432.0.html.
There also appears to be a factory fix that replaces this...
......with this.....
However from what I can judge (from photos) the Atom 2 exhaust manifold, pipes and muffler are all on the rear side of the engine. Please correct me if this is not the case.
The Mark 1 car, with Rover engine, has it's exhaust manifold on the front side of the engine and the muffler, like the other cars, at the rear. This means that the pipe with flexi joint passes under the engine.
Is anyone aware of the new coupling, that is used in the Atom 2, being successfully used in a Mark 1 car?
Cheers
in advance.
