Re: The curious case of the Atom 4 brakes

I’m glad it all worked out ok but without a back to back test of one just with a master cylinder change or one just with knock back springs we will never really know what made the difference I know of five Atoms that have purely changed master cylinder and there brakes seem fine now Could someone j...

Re: The curious case of the Atom 4 brakes

I am following this subjecy with gr...

Re: The curious case of the Atom 4 brakes

Re: Newbie Advice please -Caterham 620 to Atom 4?

Yes I definitely need to try an Atom 4. Regarding the 620R, when I bought it off the first owner (who was 70year old and had bought it new - clearly he had some significant testicular fortitude for a chap not in the first flush of youth!) it came with the factory ZZR rubber and it was almost unusab...

Re: Atoms for sale - information thread

Bit of an odd spec too - Car has some carbon fibre bling but everything else is standard basic road spec., Anyway, I input all the options into my old Atom 4 configurator and it comes to :- £36,383 + £7,277 VAT = £43,660 Note that picture 10...
