Ariel.Club Forum

I said it once before, but the biggest issue I see with the Atom 4 whatsapp group is that anyone "considering" buying a 4 is excluded from joining the group, and therefore unable to research all the issues/problems etc experienced by existing owners. Only existing owners or those with an o...

I can see why the WhatsApp atom 4 group would be so popular, I get that info will be shared quickly and answers obtained quickly amongst members on the chat. In many respects, it's clearly superior to this online forum. However, I think it's another nail in the coffin for this online owners club for...

Looks wise that is truly awful in my meagre opinion, a real mess. I'm actually struggling to imagine how it could look worse without being an obvious piss take.

Yes mate, I sold it some time ago now

Yes that's mine, often driving out through Halstead to find some nice roads. I am in Earls Colne, my kids tell me that they have seen another Atom drive through the village a couple times a few weeks ago...that you ?! More than likely me, I've driven through Earls Colne a few times of late, small w...

Hi mate. Yes can echo the scary but fun comment. Pretty much everyone seemed faster than me and appeared to have more grip. Coming out of any turn and slight bit of throttle and out slides the rear...could only use full power when in 4th and even that was a nervous experience ! Such a shame it didn...

I have for sale four brand new never fitted AO48's in the correct 225/45/16 medium compound for the rears. These have been stored for me at my local tyre shop. I switched to Khumos some time ago so no longer need them, I forgot I still had them until my tyre guys mentioned it recently so I went and ...

Excellent info Pete, very interesting read. Good to get some actual figures/data rather than the usual guesstimates etc

Gutted I couldn't make this one, will there be another dyno day in the new year?

Cheers

Gents,

Regrettably I'm not going to be able to make this date now, unfortunately something has cropped up.

Look forward to the next one!

If you are comparing the results of a hub mounted dyno to a "rollers" dyno, then of course you can end up with less (or more). If you go on an "overly optimistic" roller dyno and then straight on a hub dyno, the (much more accurate) hub dyno will show "less" simply beca...

Yes I think the rolling roads lose a lot of power due to lack of grip. I am keen to try my car on a hub. Some say...you get another 20% more power from a hub. No, you don't get any "more" bhp on a hub mounted dyno, you simply get a much, much more accurate result as it doesn't rely on jig...

TDI (Torque Developments International, not TDI North) use a hub mounted dyno for all tuning work (they mapped my atom in its most recent tune). They are based just outside the M25 near the Dartford Crossing. Maybe do a dyno day there sometime in the future? Their figures are very accurate.

Is that titanium or stainless, looks like a new manifold as well as back box etc? Do you know what dB level it gives out (for track days)? Can I ask what this cost as I'm going to need a new system at some point as I think the baffles are going in my back box (it's getting louder...)

Cheers

I'd be up for that, weather dependant
