Hi, Just bought a 3.5R and joined the club. Looking forward to meeting other members at events or trackdays in due course.

Nice one!

I know it's a tad cold at the moment, but do post a pic and your initial thoughts when you've had chance to drive it.

Also, have a look into the Winter Warmer ( https://ariel.club/winter-warmer-dinner-9-feb-2019/ ) and Mid Summer Gas ( https://ariel.club/midsummer-gas-2019-28-30-june-2019/ ) both announced recently. I'm sure there will be many other meetups in next year too.

Thanks. Have signed up for the winter warmer.

Welcome to the club! You'll have a blast!

Is your engine the K24 or K20?

[drcaw]

Options fitted include: 6-speed sequential Sadev gearbox with paddle operated pneumatic shift, baffled engine oil sump, Aluminium radiator, Cat bypass pipe, brake upgrade: Alcon 4 pot caliper/290 discs on front and rear, handbrake system for Alcon 4 pot calipers, cockpit adjustable remote brake bias, Ohlins TTX 3 way adjustable inline remote reservoir dampers, FIA approved battery master switch, bolted in full roll-over bar, full windscreen, locking fuel cap, front and rear carbon fibre Aerofoils, carbon fibre mudguards, carbon fibre airbox, bonnet and intake, individual Carbon Seats, Magnesium alloys.

I believe it has the K20 engine.

You may have forgotten to mention the Dymags! That is a hell of a spec. It must be very different from whatever you were driving before.

I also have the Sadev, how do you find it?

Sadev is a great option and adds another level. The noise on changing is also pretty addictive.

The Atom is very different to my other cars... relatively intuitive, but still a lot to learn in 2019!

Mmmmm Sadav....

Welcome officially Chris. Cracking spec that. Look forward to seeing you at the Winter Warmer.

[drcaw]
