I am going to go ahead and scan the Atom in the near future.  I want to make an animated GIF file at a minimum.  These scan files are HUGE with millions of data points, so export might be a problem.  I will PM you the export files types tomorrow and we will see if there is some commonality.

Looks like someone already modeled it.

That is a nice model!  I don't think that it was taken from an actual car or is from Brammo as things aren't actually correct to scale.  Like was mentioned, the tires are to large and look at the size of the cowl.  I know that the Ecotec exhaust manifold does not look like that, does the Honda?  I do like the rendering and I am wondering how it was created ...

Kumho. They are an excellent warm weather tire on the Atom.I took two FTD's with them on my Atom,BUT it was above 80 degrees on both days and the tires did get sticky. ;D ;D ;D

In the fall,I tried them at 45 degree track temps and they were no better/worse than any other tire.They must get hot to work.

I am going to try some A6's on some new 17" rims I ordered but my big hopes are on my "secret weapons."

My new rims showed up today and the "secret weapon" tires should be here any day. :tu:

My selflube bushing arrived this afternoon in a plain cardboard box. 

My wife got ALL curious.
 
What's in this box ?  What's it for?
This box of yours marked "self lube"? 

So I showed her.
Just shy of 4 inches. 

She stopped her fussing.
