For those of you who are interested, here's a couple of pics taken of the Atom currently under construction at the Brammo factory. It was supposed to be completed today, but as you can see that hasn't happened yet. :lol:
The peeps in the second pic are a couple of friends from the Atom Forum (Kym and Nick). I like the pic with them goofin' on the chassis. =D> :lol:
According to the folks at Brammo, the car should "for sure" be finished by the end of the week. I'm planning to pick it up next Tuesday.
The wheel/tire package on the car is entry level, since it'll be replaced with TE-37's with real tires afterwards. ES100's FTL, I know. Maybe I'll use them up at a drift day just for fun.
yeah i looked at getting one and the other tire option was nuts expensive for such a light car, i also noticed they really hiked the price when they brought it over...
GM. It come in the Sunfire, Caviler, Cobalt, Solstice, Sky. Pretty much all their small cars. The drag team I work for has been able to get 1200 hp (Hot Rod class) and 1400 hp (Pro FWD) out of the EcoTech. Though lately we've been spliting blocks in half (horizontily) in the Pro FWD car, but that's running 40lbs. of boost.
I read on the website that they were only going to offer 3 Atoms with the CTR motor. They went for $3000 over what you would pay for the ecotec. I still want one.
Hey Woolery! What's the insurance like on that mean machine?
but a proper racecar or a road going race car should be designed around the tires.
the entire dynamics of the car are dependent on how much grip the tires have thus should be derived from it.
I have not yet found an proper alternative (street) to the RE070s on my STi. It has the right amount of tire wall stiffness, grip, and breakaway characteristic the car is designed for. I am not claiming STi designed the car to be on 070s (at least balanced are tuned on the 070), it's probably Bridgestone build the tires for STi's spec.
When STi put Pirelli P Zero Neros on the S203 special model, everyone complained about having no grip even it is the S203 limited model.
Similarly, the Evo are best on the A046 (street).
Elise are best on the AD07 LTS (Street)
S2000 on S-02 (special size just for the S2000)
Porsche has their special size and model among S-02s
just my 0.02$
but you are right, it's still way faster than rest of the world even on ES100.
Mr. Woolery, your car is bad ASSSS, please bring it out to the KINOD
Today I am bidding on a 1991 miata that has been written off. If I win the bid my plan is to build myself a winter miata because my 93 LE has been parked for a month now and I miss it. Living in northern Canada a Miata is not most peoples first choice for winter transportation. They are low...
I know all of you read more than just one automotive board. Let's post up all those dope pics of cars that are saved in your computer. Regardless of make or style. If you think it's sweet, then post it up. I'll start.
Miata content.
Spawned by the SUV thread and my recent acquisition. Who else here rides? What do you ride?
Just got a 1996 Kawasaki Vulcan 500. It's such low mileage that it has not yet had its first scheduled maintenance done so it's currently in a few dozen pieces in my buddy's garage while we fix some...
Just a thread to keep people updated on what you've done(are doing) to your Roadster. Post pictures as well if you want. I'll go first.
Just installed a recently bought NB soft-top(glass window) on my NA8. So much of an improvement. Pictures soon.
