I've just remembered that there was someone from Singapore on about a month ago who was buying an Atom and deciding on the final specification.
It looks like they've sold at least one already then.

I don't own an Atom yet, but will soon need to spec my Atom for production.
I will be driving the car in Singapore and bringing it to the track in Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia.
The weather here is hot and humid. Avg temp is about 32 degree Celsius and humidity about 70%.
So I need your advice. Should I go with the NA 245 or SC 300?
Can the SC 300 run all out with no overheating problems? I am talking about maybe 10 hard laps which translate to about 50km.
Thanks for any advice given.

Hi,
I am about to submit my configuration list for production of my car. This car will be running in Singapore and I have access to a garage that specialize in the K20A. The garage also has an extensive inventory of BBKs, rims, EMS and many other goodies.
I am thus trying to configure my car to have the bare minimum because of the import tax that will be applied to the cost of the car which works out to about 125%. On the other hand, car parts purchased locally are just charged 7% tax.
The car will be a track car with some road use.
I have speced my car with what I think only the factory can do.
Things like suspension, I have chosen almost everything. By the way, what are chromoly aerofoil wishbone and do I need it for the track?
Things like rims and BBKs, I have not chosen because I feel that I can get those locally, please correct me if I am wrong. Can someone please advise me on the PCD of the rims?
Attached below is a list of what I have chosen, please feel free to comment. Sorry about the formatting.
Many thanks.
