want one much? lol

[db_1.2]

want one much? lol

No, its feckin hideous!

Although being all that fast and all that rubbish, its not pushing any real boundries other than its got no bodywork. I didnt read much, do Atom actually engineer the engine themselves? Thats quite an achievment, a lot more of an achievment than the ghastly tubular frame.

[Pistol Pete]

Do not want. IMO the charged CTR engine is enough. 900bhp per/t...in some scaffolding lol fook that!!

[Stuart]

iirc there are a LOT of little companies out there making V8 bike engines (well ok taking Bike heads and fitting them to a V8 block + crank)

Not a massive leap in engineering but it does make for a light revvy beast of an engine.

Velly cool all the same

Ariels are ace. I used to go watch them going up and down the road outside the factory. Funnily enough, its a long(ish) straight lol

-20 man points for anyone who thinks they look gash :p who cares, its basically an engine on wheels :d

Repost. :d

The one on Clarksons new vid looks pikey as IMO.

Again, I refer to my previous point of engine and wheels... who gives a toss about the rest lol

Mind you, it is funny to go stonking past Mr Impreza in a shonky rusty gay blue old shed lol

I do TBH. The rest might save me!! Remember, i have had a disagreement with a tractor at speed. Ouch!!

Dude! Being a man is all about racing off into the sunset in a huge supercharged v8 muscle car, with an explosion behind you, not blasting out of maccy d's carpark wheelspinning with a load of brain dead, spitting chavs shouting out ''wicked maaan i bet its quick as fook!''

But if i did fancy going fast over looking bad ass, id choose this over and Atom anyway.

But i do hope Atom are doing well, and keep doing so, as they are British :d

Caparo T1? IIRC that turned Jason Plato into Jason "baked" Potatoe...

Lol i generally try to aviod them, my top hate must be talking to someone who knows your car better than you do, and youll always find them around those type of places

[db_1.2]

Carl? I know i should know who that is, but just cant! (not to be rude)

Lol yeh, it did catch fire, twice? I think. Sound awesome though

[Nova_Tek]

That's quick but XE Nova's are quicker me thinks lol

[Alex J]

these are fast as fook to, went to setterton with paul in his turbo nova, and the owners club was there the same day, on the straights, nova turbo was pulling away, untill a bend, and they caught up, and the cv blew up again, still a good daylol lol ....

lmao giving everyone a show is all part of the fun mowgli!!! lol

[mowgli]

it might be where you live

[burgo]

ITS ****, epically overpriced, they didnt come up with the engine, the hayabusa v8 was patented in 2004 and worst of all its doesnt sound like a v8

[mowgli]

i presume to save on things like new cams, it is a double 4, and not a v8...

[Danny s-p]

mowgli burgo sent me this on face gay earlier1 take look it good page

http://www.h1v8.com/page/page/1562068.htm

[mowgli]

that is a good link, so they use a clever crank & appear to run 2 timing chains, one at each end...

[Danny s-p]

yep it good think it say some were it 400bhp on standard road cams

[General Baxter]

ummm do they make a bellhousing adaptor to fit a F20 lol

[Danny s-p]

ummm do they make a bellhousing adaptor to fit a F20 lolthat wood be good

[mowgli]

the diff might be a tad high.

ps.there was some french bloke who made a 16 cylinder car with 4 busa engines in an h layout......

[General Baxter]

i remember that lol

[mowgli]

i tried googling it & failed.:confused:

[General Baxter]

i know the one you mean, there was a debate about it, each engine powering each wheel, and getting the gearboxs and throttles to link up

[mowgli]

the one i'm on about had a single crankcase, and looked like a crap porsche 917 kit car...

i think the one you mean was the ultima with 900hp
