Re: The curious case of the Atom 4 brakes

Anyone know the part number for the appropriate size Pagid RS14? Steve did send me a picture of the box but annoyingly I can’t find it now. Is this the right set: https://www.a-pp.com/Categories/Braking/Brake-Pads/Sorted-By-Caliper/AP-Racing/CP7600-Pads/PAGID-S203494U001-RS14-PADS-S203494U001RS14-E...

Re: ABS on an Atom

I'm not sure about that bit as i'm not sure whether Ariel fit extra rear sensors if traction / launch optioned specified. You could tell straight away by looking at car and see if same sensor on front and rear wheels. Front is needed all the time as speed sensor. Hope this helps I actually can’t se...

Re: ABS on an Atom

When i specified my Atom 4 i asked Ariel to look at the full Bosch Motorsport ABS as an option on my build. I had it fitted to my Radical RXC Spyder. Ariel have done some work on this and the current wheel speed sensors are compatible. But like everything at Ariel these things take time. Last time ...

ABS on an Atom

Is ABS an option for an Atom 4 or could it be retrofitted easily always thought well judged braking would be better than ABS and it was only really for nasty surprises in inclement weather but just recently watched this video linked it is quite sobering.

Re: Launching an Atom 4

For reference, here is Steve Sutcliffe at Autocar doing a 0-100-0 run in a supercharged Atom 2 back in 2007 - he launches in 2nd gear and gets from 0-100 in 6.07 seconds, which is still mighty impressive. :tu: I'd love to know if an Atom 4 could match or better this...over to you Charlie. :vroom: h...

Launching an Atom 4

Due to my car still running in I have not had a chance to truly feel the acceleration yet but I thought I read from one of the magazine features that launching in 2nd gear was just as quick can anyone confirm this perhaps if they have done times runs if this is true?

Re: The curious case of the Atom 4 brakes

Are sure they are for the AP ? and i don't think 15 mm will fit as 14.5 mm is needed. to my opinion Friction 0,52 is to low to try to reduce the brake pedal free travel. A real high friction pads (cold and hot) is needed so that the braking really begins when first contact between disc and pads eve...
