The Atom with the sidepods is the 3.5R which has 350bhp

Other Atom 3 versions are usually : 3 245 (normally aspirated), 3 300 or 3.5 310 - both the latter supercharged

One caution before you decide on buying a N/A Atom intending to upgradie it by adding a supercharger is to speak to the factory BEFORE buying to ensure that you/they can source a Jackson supercharger as they can be very difficult to find as, as far as I'm aware, they are no longer produced - but the...

When fitted they also effectively protect both the driver and passenger from stones and spray kicked up by the front tyres!

I personally wouldn't worry about using 97 RON fuel as the ECU will automatically adjust to whatever fuel is used (within reason) and set the timing accordingly. 98 has a slightly better Knock rating than 97 but you can safely run a Honda engine even on 95 RON as the anti-knock sensor will prevent a...

When you are sitting in an Atom it's extremely difficult to actually see the wings!

Have you considered purchasing a CarCoon? This would not require any planning permission. This would protect the Atom (I would suggest that you would probably still need a cover for the Atom) but I would use the cargo net securely strapped down to the ground but only loosely covering the whole sheba...

Yesterday my fuel gauge was reading 0 and the 'low fuel' red lights were continuously flashing all the time up/down hills, on the flat and round bends (both left and right). So decided to refuel, although I didn't believe the display, when I pulled into the petrol station the red lights were solid -...

100hp/ton?????

I hope his driving is better than his maths!

Rider It's nothing whatsoever to do with the seat getting hot - it's ME getting hot and sweating buckets down my back onto the seat! - have you ever driven a 'naturally' air-conditioned open topped car in 40°C (104°F) I can assure you that the over temping is nothing to do with the car per se! By br...

My Atom is in Cyprus where the temperatures this year have regularly exceeded 40°C. I have velcro pads on the seats which don't seem to get too hot and I've never found the frame has been too hot when levering myself in or out!. However driving it is another matter as the seat quickly becomes a saun...

Having had a very short play with a sequential Atom on the road I also stalled it once or twice until the owner told me to use the paddle and clutch as if I were driving a manual gearbox car which solved the problem - but I would wholeheartedly agree with Peter255' opinion that for road use the sequ...

Check with TMI the manufacturer of your immobiliser and then simply buy and fit a new immobiliser - or, alternatively, simply trailer the Atom to an vehicle electrical shop - get them to replace the immobiliser - you, or more probably the vendor, will probably have to produce proof of ownership! I h...
