Today's Project X progress
Today I made part of the rear subframe and fitted the front wishbone rod end adjusters.
The subframe is not completed yet and is only tacked. The manifold is only on loose too. You can also see the reverse starter motor hanging and the
chain diff. Neither are fixed and the sprocket needs to be changed.
Some names I came up with: The Quark, Isotope, Dark Matter. I can't seem to think of anything remotely similar to ATOM and still making it sound
cool !!

Looking good. When are you hoping for completion?
As for names, have a look at this page/site for some "proper"
physics names.
Lepton and muon aren't bad ones. The experimental physics bit has some weird names in it too!

Gotta be "Tachyon"
The word tachyon derives from the Greek (tachus), meaning "speedy."

I Designed them in solidworks and got an engineer to make them.
Basically they have an internal thread inside a steel cup.
Release the locknut and use a small bar to turn the adjuster. Afterwards close the nut and use lockwire on the adjuster.
I had the adjuster zinc plated and I also had to ream the cup out after welding.

the name ATOM is cool because it is given to a very cool car.
imagine how uncool it would be in a Kia or a Daewoo...
"isotope" is kinda querky for a car
what about Zenith? i kinda like that name. although a bit tacky because of its meaning and stuff.. but sounds cool

How about calling it the "Neutrino", I believe it's one of the lightest & fastest particles known IIRC
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

CALL IT "ENRICO FERMI!!!"
it kinda mingles with Pagani, Enzo, Ettore.
Enrico fermi... actually pretty cool name... might use that if i ever start up a car brand...
