Lucky! No need to ever go to 6 flags again! Except for maybe the superman ride!

What kind of tires do you plan to run on your build?

I haven't posted in a while, not much to report really just getting allot of little things set. Like the wiring, fuel lines and cooling line ran.

This summer not much got done, my garage does not have AC and I spent last weekend replacing the motor mounts on the Element. And 50-60 hours a week at work does not leave much free time.

My LED blinker and brake lights should be here by this weekend so I am going to get them on so I can test out the wiring, but I'm going to have to re do the switches on the dash. We got a new 3D printer at work and they wanted to make some "test" parts so I am going to do a full 3D printed dash to use regular Auto meter gauges.

The tires I have on it are Dunlop Direzza ZII's. And they will be stopped buy Willwood 4 piston callipers at all 4 corners.

I've driven 2 different atom 2's the base 200HP one that Brammo had at the factory for test drives, and the 240HP Atom 2's that they used on the Ariel Atom Experience. And they were a blast.

Any updates?

Nothing really worth posting, I am in the process of replacing the uprights that came with the car with some lighter weight cast aluminum pieces. It is also giving me the chance to paint the orange fenders. I am going with flat black on the fenders. And when I get to the back uprights I will be installing the drive shafts that came in last week. And I can state I hate wiring an entire car. Wiring is the hardest part. Here is a picture of my printed dash. Nothing is bolted down yet so yes it is a little crooked.

I found some of your posts and others on the exoskeleton board. There seems to be a huge controversy surrounding the company that makes this kit. I have no real opinion on the matter, but it was an interesting read.

After my personal dealings with the company that had and the one that has the current licence to build the car for the north american market I have no opinion on it either.
I tend to believe this tread:

especially when I keep getting parts like this:




Here is another thread that shows that TMI bought frames from Ariel at first while they got their tooling updated, that they inherited when they took over from Brammo.
