Re: Club Track Day 2024 October 1st

OK, looks to be quite a low drive by limit. Has anybody here had issues?
Even without the bangs the car is quite loud.

Re: Club Track Day 2024 October 1st

May I ask about noise limits? The Sadev setup gives you an interesting option of cutting either fuel or ignition on downshifts. If you cut ignition the fuel still fires into the cylinders and then gets pushed out to a hot exhaust and ignites there. It sounds like a fing bomb has gone off and it is f...

Thanks for that. I have to say though, that Atom 3 of mine was a bloody good car! It is booked in with Ariel so we'll see. Keep having fun!

Re: Advice Selling my Sadev 3.5R

The problem is I really love the car. Selling it is like putting one of your kids on eBay.

It's taken weeks to get the balls to post on here.

In other words no. ;D

Advice Selling my Sadev 3.5R

After a very long time of Atom ownership I have decided to sell my fab 3.5R/Sadev. A few of you know the car. It is the only 68 plate Atom, the last supercharged car, 2.0 Honda. As well as the Sadev it has carbon wings/seats/panels/dash etc, also aerofoil wishbones. It has the new Atom 4 dash with t...

Re: A4 vs earlier models. Newbie questions.

I'm not alone in having a very unpopular view that the supercharged cars are ever so slightly more exciting than the turbocharged ones Plus the brakes work and they don't have problems with the cooling. When I say ever so slightly I do, of course, mean a cock sight more exciting. And I've driven bot...

Re: Long Trips in Atom

I always wear glasses of course. A pair if Wiley X I bought a long time ago. You couldn't go over about 40 or 50 without and it's be a little stupid to risk your eyes.
