The coating keeps the heat inside the exhaust which, IIRC, is generally good for two reasons (1) lower engine bay temps so inlet cooler etc (not really a benefit for us) and (2) hotter gases move faster / more freely than cooler - this improves scavenging which improves performance. Thank you! I ha...

That exhaust looks great! In fact the whole car does, it is impeccably clean. You are making me feel guilty about mine.

How does coating the exhaust make exhaust gasses cooler?

If you are travelling through the cotswolds make sure you drive fish hill, broadway. It is a lovely road!

I've been running different colour panels on mine for the last 12 months and no issue. I think a colour change will show on a HPI check so would be a shame to formally change the colour. My daily car is fully wrapped a different colour. I have been driving it for over two years with no issues at all.

Nicely done sir! I have got a spare AEM meth kit. Maybe I should fit it to mine. I have never considered adding to the power on my atom, it is quite quick out of the box. How are you finding it is handling the power? Is it not becoming too much of a handful and actually slower in the real world if t...

Can’t say I’ve ever felt the need. As Creighton says I just in-do the harness and look over my shoulder or use the mirrors.

Yeah all mine were replaced last year when my car was in for a service as they were a bit warped. I do find on the roads I hardly touch the brakes as the car is so light. As soon as you come off the throttle the engine brake slows you down quite a bit. Even when driving hard I suspect I am only usin...

I'd possibly be in depending on timings and location. Hardly used the atom this summer so need a good excuse!

Glad you had a good time mate. If it wasn't for the fact I'm in sunny Majorca then I would have been there!

Oh man! Going to be working all weekend  TBH every weekend is taken up for me now until first weekend in October. We should make it a regular thing but with Winter approaching....

[quote="Tuscan"] [quote="911tom"] I'd be up for a meet depending on dates and times, might be tricky as the next few weekends are taken already. [/quote] Hi Tom, Cool! I'll check my calendar as I have a couple of wedding functions this month, but should be clear otherwise. I will...

[quote="Tuscan"] [quote="911tom"] Welcome aboard Tuscan. I'm local ish to you (aylesbury direction). Would not have been me though as I can't think I've ever taken the atom to marlow. I did drive it through wycombe on Friday. Great intro to the group too! [/quote] Hi! I'm familia...

Well Smokin it is there in black and white lol. You'd think a British made car would cater for the climate but hey it's a minor grumble for an otherwise fantastically made thing. John I was thinking the same this evening. I do not want it loose the ability to breathe. I think I'll just stick with th...
