I don't know if i'm supposed to write here about the new bleeding process, but i'll do 😉 It appears that the main reason for long pedal travel with near no effect on braking is because the pistons in the calipers are going backward during driving between each braking, so the first travel of the brak...

I have same feeling concerning Atom 4 brakes to long, no bite. If we consider that the AP calipers are good, first is to try real high friction pads even cold like CL RC8 (0,60) or Pagid RST1 (0,54) or Ferodo DS3.12 (0,54) and if not enought to reduce pedal free travel and increase bite, the second ...

Perhaps factory was giving a Number for new ones only, not for upgraded.

😁 👍 sorry [mention]CAG3D[/mention] , i don't want to embarrass anyone with a manual ! 😉 In fact all the tests i have read were of course with factory 3.5R which was with sequential and to my opinion, because i had similar gearbox on my V8, it made a big difference even if i fully understand owners w...

? sorry but my english is not perfect and i don't understand your answer

I have made upgraded 7 french Atom to 350hp at the factory some years ago, some with 3 châssis and some with 3.5 chassis upgrade. All manual. Several with Ohlins. My own definition of a real 3.5R is 350hp, Alcon all round, Ohlins and Sadev. Aerofoils optionnal. Others, manual ones, are just Atom 3 o...

"It seems a nicer place now"

Are sure ? Hedge still here ...

The one that was for sale at the factory is owned by my french customer. Now it's in France. I have driven on road and tracks several Atom 3.5 350 hp with Ohlins, Alcon, dymags , with or without aerofoils, but not with the sadev. What do you want to compare between these and V8 ? perhaps i can help....

I read a lot of wrong things here which is not common on this forum ... There was 2 in France, one for me (that i sold in France 2 years ago) and one for a french customer. Other were sold in Belgium, UK , other foreign countries etc ... From my source a total of 17 were built for the world. As it w...

i PM you

Hi
I would like to know if some Atom 4 has been registered in Germany ? and have contact with the owners.
Thank you

Recently i don"t know, but i know they still produce Nomad only by batch/group.

Yes the pads fitted on the Atom 4 with AP calipers are not giving a good feeling on track. Change them to more agressive ones from Pagid, Ferodo or CL for example.

Thank you
So i need to clear up a the insurance question because that's not a normal situation but i seehere in France that UK citizens having a car here, registered in France, do no not struggle to obtain insurance with their UK driving licence.
