Re: OBD Port on Atom 4

Its got its own port, the two connectors on dash are not ODB. The ODB port is behind dash, on the left hand side of steering column pointing forward - it is covered by a black plastic cap Just reach under the steering column just behind the dash binnacle and you will find it. The manual probably has...

Re: The curious case of the Atom 4 Cooling

@mynamesnotbob the last sentence, by shielded turbo, you mean the funk jacket for the turbo or that and all the gold stuff together? I think such a jacket should make a big difference, had one on my big turbo scooby and it made ALL the difference for the heatsoak, night and day difference The Turbo...

Re: The curious case of the Atom 4 Cooling

Don´t know if this getting on top of the "may be too small cooling intake" but if you look behind the radiator, it is very hot there. even the fuse box is for my feeling to hot. May be it is not just getting more air into the radiator but also to get the hot air after the radiator better ...

Re: Action Cam Mounting, hardwiring, auto record etc – Atom 4 specific, but transferable to most

Fantastic, now working on a QR code for Auto power on, start record at 5mph, stop record at 0mph for 10 seconds at 4k60 not stabilised .. Could you please provide some information on the relays used ? Relays were just simple 12v SPST (single pole single throw relay), nothing special. Something like...

Re: Atom 4 forged wheels

I'm going to swap at some point, whenever I swap to lighter wheels its noticeable difference on other cars, its never night and day or ground breaking though. It just feels a bit wrong to have heavier wheels on an Atom, so I will swap when I've freed up cash elsewhere

Re: Atom 4 - Spec advice please?

Hey, is it really worth upgrading to a052 than the standard tyre (no cost option one ) ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Personally yes. I’ve used them on other cars not just Atom and they are stunning tyres. Outrageous grip for a road legal, not scary in the cold compared to say R888s, good fee...

Re: Atom 4 - Spec advice please?

Difference is each option makes a difference. Porsche annoys me with options that cost a fortune, do very little but it seems you can’t sell without E.g. sports chrono CC isn’t great for Ariel or Lotus sales, often snapped up by dealers at around retail, then appear at a dealer with 10k on a few day...

Re: Atom 4 - Spec advice please?

I’d recommend Ohlins TTX over any other option TBH, the 4 on TTX is one of the best damped car I’ve driven, even if it meant waiting on 350 kit. Boost controller I could happily live without, TC to don’t have and haven’t died. If it’s a 4th car you won’t pick it to drive in the rain, so TC not neede...

Re: Action Cam Mounting, hardwiring, auto record etc – Atom 4 specific, but transferable to most

Oh and I didn't go into into how relays work, how to solder, crimp connectors, calculate wire gauge etc - if you aren't happy with this, probably best to get some practice first before pulling apart your car

The USB power is run to this box and then to the back of the car for the camera or am I missing something?
