Well I finally pulled the trigger. I've been in talks with the previous owner to acquire his #098 Atom 2 for about a month and a half. Everything worked perfectly and I now have an Ariel Atom parked in my garage which was previously occupied by my Miata, Achmed the Jiata (he has a severe lifter tick). There's a few things I plan on doing to my Atom however there's one that I need to get done as soon as practical. Given that I am gravity challenged at 5'6' (I have a short torso with long legs) I need to figure out a way to increase the seat height. I looked at the mounts on the slide posts and they look like they are maxed out at the very top of the adjustment holes. So I may have to have new side mounts fabbed up to get a better seating position. That is unless somebody else has any other off-the-shelf items that would require less invasive procedures and still get me some increased seat height.
