Honda V-tec engine from a virtually new 1000 mile car that was written off after being rear-ended

I like your large radius bends for the top rails. Wish i was able to bend those...

[midastube]

WE designed and built our own 'bender' using an

old machine vice with 3 pulleys attached.

The center pulley has a hand crank to wind the tubing thru

I've bought the Ariel Atom 3d model from 3DExport dot c o m and viewing it under 3ds Max 2010 . The artist is 'SQUIR'. I'm printing out a full scale plastic model using a 3d printer to get a real view of it's actual physical dimensions. What I have observed so far is that the main long curved tubes are actually 4 inches in diameter. It looks like the one on the video is just 2". There could be strength issue with such a smaller tube width than the original.

do you have the dimensions of the engine and tranny? I'm looking to build one right now.

looks like a nice build....also looks like an Ariel Atom...

I have a question I think someone with your knowlege could answer. I have an electronic oil temp gauge, and I would like to know if it would give me a reading if I installed it in place of my non-working water temp gauge. As long as the sender fit, I should assume the only difference between oil and water is the viscosity of the liquid.

you are living my dream

copy what works,the Ariel Atom is one bad ass car,but remember,the Ariel Atom chassi is built on a 20,000 dollar Bluco table,it is almost perfect right off the table.
