Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 There was a reference to something "jerking off" the front at one point. Quote
sparky21 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I have seen and heard the V8 Atom in the flesh on my freinds Dyno last October during its development, it was a very "under wraps" project at the time and was mostly Dyno'd after 10pm! till the early hours of the morning. Ariel (Tom Siebert) were with the car along with John Hartley (Engine designer and manufacturer). This is a very special car with a pnemaitic 6 speed gearbox, it flew through the gears on the dyno and sounded spectacular! Wayne Scofield from Chipwizards in Milnrow mapped the V8 Atom and he has also recently done the Special "Mugen" edition. I believe more work is to be done on the V8 Atom with more CC's... Clarkson mention it was two bike engines.... anyone know what engines they used??? busa?? Quote
John XTR2 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 They use 2 Busa Top ends with a common crank, so from cylinders up is all busa on each bank. Quote

Wonder where I got the Inspiration from... No, I've had it from new and did have it up for sale. I want an Audi powered Elise Quote
sparky21 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 LOL... is everything completley stock and standard? why do you want to sell it out of interest? Quote

echoz Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Now you're not going to believe this. We watched the hampster explain the VW was going to be dropped 1 mile whilst the porker was going to be driven 1 mile. As the beetle was falling through the air HM says "Oh there's no one in it, how are they going to drive it when it lands" If she was blonde I would understand..... oh dear Quote

Barry Ashcroft Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Yep a good start to the new series I'll let you know how good this weeks show is after my trip to the studio on Wednesday. Again? Now I'm jealous. I've tried for years to get tickets and have now given up. Clearly you've got sources others than Applause Store. Matt Yep sorry my mate works for the beeb and is good friends with the main top gear producer. Quote
