Re: The curious case of the Atom 4 brakes

These use/accept a thicker pad than the oem caliper?

Re: Small Car makers exempt from 2035 ICE ban

Special oil free racing fuel now costs 15 euros per litre, I certainly dont think prices of fuell will go through the roof at all. Demand will sink and price will sink with it. Remember that it is only europe for now and believe me there are a lot of european countrys which do not buy electric cars ...

Which makes the one on Autotrader a bargain. Literally has all the options including carbon tillets.
Alcons rear are missing ?

This looks awesome and great spec! Price is not too bad after some negotiations

Re: 2018 550 mile 3.5R For Sale at The Classic Collection

Hmmm lots of good info. here - I've got an Atom3, so not sure if there is even a reasonable route to 3.5R. If that was in the 10-12K ballpark, I'd be interested but not sure I could leave it with the factory for five months, unless it was over the winter.... I'd also like the Ohlins as a starting p...

Re: 2018 550 mile 3.5R For Sale at The Classic Collection

Speedmachine I actually have all the bills from when my Atom was upgraded to a 3.5R by the Ariel factory in 2018! This included a full frame strip - frame back to the makers to be fully modified/upgraded to the full 3.5R spec, it was then re-powder coated in the latest Gunmetal and the car was then...

Re: 2018 550 mile 3.5R For Sale at The Classic Collection

Depends directly on what you spec, you are right if you mean just adding the pods, charge cooler and oil cooler but if you want to go the 'whole hog' and have the frame upgraded to the FULL 3.5R spec which includes adding the mounting points for a sequential gearbox and the additional frame strengt...

Re: 2018 550 mile 3.5R For Sale at The Classic Collection

Just don’t think it will sell at close to that money. If you’re a fanatic you don’t want a base spec version imo. Especially when it’s not in the launch / iconic 3.5r colour scheme… All in my opinion of course I'd like the upgrade but think it's a bit steep too for the spec there, I've seen here a ...

Re: 2018 550 mile 3.5R For Sale at The Classic Collection

It’s been for sale for 6months at least. Only priced 10k less than the mega spec 3.5r with sequential everything carbon, Ohlins, Dymags etc Yes but cant buy a new 3.5 anymore, so probably a case of “better to expensive, than not for sale” And atom 4’s are sold for the more expensive 2023 listprice ...

Re: New Owner - Northumberland Borderlands

Just picked up an Atom 4 yesterday. An amazing, if slightly chilling drive home from Autobahn in Hexham who gave it a once-over for me. There will be better days to drive it than in zero-degree temperatures! I'm based up near the border with Kielder and the roads up to Jedburgh, Hawick and Selkirk ...
