I have an Opel Speedster (AKA Vauxhall VX220), but is like an GM dressed Elise/Exige with a 2,2 Ecotec engine.
The problem with these is that this European (known as Z22SE) engine uses a different ECU than the US version and is not really tunable. Of course I can trow the SC onto it (SC kits are sold here with a decompression plate and piggyback solution), but I still need to upgrade the rods above 250HP. And for my 850kg car i like a bit higher revving engine. Short stroke is better... Like the LSJ has (+ stronger + oil squirters +...)
And I happen to have now a complete LSJ with ECU standing in my garage. So when I get HP tuners I'm in bussiness.
It will be a project, but you know all about that..
Not an Atom, but still a lot of fun:
