Re: Helmet and gloves
Excellent choices - don't think you'll go far wrong with those. As Luckky above says though.. a tinted visor is highly recommended - They help concentration, are priceless in the summer (especially low sun mornings and evenings) and look absolutely badass, let's be honest. My personal preference is ...

Re: Helmet and gloves
Well, it all depends on what you think the function of a helmet is? If it's to keep your head warm, quiet and dry while keeping the wind and bugs off your face, then a cheap helmet will do the job every time. Even the cheap ones have to meet the main safety standards. For an Atom, it's definately ar...

Re: Helmet and gloves
Echo most of the above - helmets are very personal, due to fit and cost. Personally I’ve always fit Arai so I tend to just buy the best one I can afford. Worth noting that Bike Helmets tend to be a bit warmer, a bit quieter, bit more adjustable cooling and bit better in the pissing rain. But.. I’ve ...

Re: What do people think of this?...
I may be wrong but this has been for sale for a long time, maybe even a year. Also, for such low mileage it seems quite worn? The exhaust, the seat, the steering wheel look to have had a lot of use. Combine that with all the tape on the chassis, no lights and the absolute basic spec makes me think t...

Re: Keeping an Atom outside under a Cover
Just my 2p but I think there's a big difference between the Atom being designed to get wet, versus being designed to thrive in a damp or endlessly-outdoor environment. The car is great in a shower, even a torrential one - all the water runs out of all the holes and all the things that need to stay d...

Re: Wanted: Atom 3 Team Dynamic Wheels
Hi! Is there? Do you have a link?
I have a bunch of saved searches on eBay but nothing showing up at the moment. A couple of buckled Dymags is all I can find.
If you have a link, I’d really appreciate it!

Re: "Normal" tyres ? No slicks etc.
Just to add my 2p... my 'all weather' Atom tyres (including sub-freezing celsius) cold and torrential rain (including 1" standing water on track) are Yokohama AD08RS. I've seen people rubbishing them as summer tyres and particularly as track tyres and I'll agree that they don't offer anywhere n...

Re: Wanted: Atom 3 Team Dynamic Wheels
BUMP! Hi - Unfortunately didn't get replies to any of my PMs above (no idea why, perhaps I'm doing something wrong?), so still looking. Definitely looking for the TD Team Dynamics 1.2s in 15 front and 16 rear, but at this point I'd also take a set of black Rotas if anyone has any of those sitting ar...

Re: Atom 3 - decat supercharged - noise
Must have been a dodgy tester? Mine's always been in the 90s every static test.

Re: Atom 3 - decat supercharged - noise
Worth saying mine’s got the standard exhaust but I assume yours has too since you didn’t mention the sports exhaust.
You’ll love Bedford… great circuit to push your limits a little bit wet or dry - really confidence builder. Have a great time.

Re: Atom 3 - decat supercharged - noise
Done Bedford twice, Atom 3, Supercharged, Decat, no issues at all. No short shifting or being careful required.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

I’ll be there but opting for the daily rather than the Atom. I’ll be in the Readers Cars section
