Atmo oil? Clio V6 Plugs?

Postby Trevor Skedge » Thu Sep 08, 2011 1:12 pm

All,

Which oil are you running in your GTA Atmo's?
Which plugs and oil are you running in your Clio V6 Phase 2's?

Trying to get ready for the French track day.

Don't bother spending money on a Atmo GTA it will blow up for sure going around a track :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Clio V6 plugs dont bother on those either, it will take you two days to change them and then another two days to change the oil and try in finding the dip stick.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :wink:

As an atmo owner why? I have both but I am yet to get the Lemans back on tbe road and drive her :shock: The reason being for your benefit is that it has taken 3.7 years to get it semi reliable and a lot more time and money than was everplanned I.call the car "Christine" ill leave you to guess why.

This not a sarcastic question I.would really love to know what your love of the atmo is?

Well as you know Ive had loads of GTAs, Turbos, and A610s, and Id even choose an Atmo GTA over the 610. My Atmo was so smooth, had 180bhp, I could fly up to mini roundabouts, even drop it down in to FIRST, braking while reving at the same time, and boot it away, and it would rev round to 6500 easy. There was no rev limited to worry about hitting, when you let off the throttle there wasnt the massive engine braking as you get with the turbo - when you went up a hill, and floored it in third, it picked up instantly.


Look at the power curve, you don't get any better than that.

Funny, I've found the 610 has distressingly little engine braking. And I don't know why braking while revving at the same time would be limited to an atmo - it's pretty much required to drive a 610.

It's true that throttle response is a bit poor on the 610, but it's still an easy engine to drive...

Dash,

Thanks for your reply. Think I will go for the Iridium plugs.

Others,

Might as well sty off topic. I really liked my old Atmo as the balance of power and chassis came together well. May get another at some point but never driven a turbo so perhaps over all they are better.

shock Horror

Postby si21 » Mon Sep 12, 2011 2:23 pm

Finally I have ironed out "Christine" Carb problems well apart from from the fast idle/cold start issue, thats easil solved with 8 prods on the gas peddle and then a little care bringing her to life. She is pulling well smooth lovely smooth tickover too :shock: its like owning a different car, so far I've attended 3 meetings/events and she has not needed a single bit of attention....

.........can it be true "Christine" has been disposessed :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Need more power though so something needs to go :roll:
