Hello, from MADNESS Autoworks (US)

Usually ruins the ride - sidewalls do offer quite a bit of suspension.

My first thoughts exactly. The Atom, like F1 cars, relies on some suspension softening through the rubber.

Oh, and as a Camden resident, we hold all rights to the word Madness... and to the walk.

RS4 George - We'll be reporting our client's feedback following his next runs.

ALL - You're correct. We're aware of the dampening that tire profiles provide - regardless of the softness of the tires (in this case, Toyo Proxes R888s), and that's one of the conditions that we're excited to zero in on; not just as a shop with an affection for the Atom and a desire to excel with enhancing it, but as car guys ourselves.

Admittedly, while I'd expected to be able to post a complete showoff buildup by this point, the US consumer holidays have given our web team (and photo guys) a mouthful on their to-do list.

I'm not great at taking photos, but here's what I've got:

Whoops - almost forgot.

We did something pretty cool with the exhaust, as well.

While I am newly aware of your claims to the word "MADNESS", I was of the understanding that there was a Ministry responsible for the handling of such things.

Also,as I'm new to this forum, when responding to individuals, should I be #hashtagging, @whateverthisis, or -addingahyphen to whomever I'm replying to, in particular? Just want to fit in, that's all.

The hyphen is good, no need for # or @

Those wheels are a little too big for me personally, but I guess ideal for a show car (looks over performance).

Needs a carbon dash though IMO. I hate the plain stock dash surround (as fitted to my car). Its really drab, and lets the car down from the drivers perspective.

Good to see more Atom modding tho! Keep up the good work!

I have seen a youtube clip of a US atom and the dash is painted body colour and it does look quite nice
