Update.

My car has an engine in it's engine bay now.
I'm told they still have to attach the hoses and all the wires and tighten the bolts up. Patiently waiting...

Update.



I picked up my S2000 yesturday after work. Words cannot fully describe how happy I was to see my car again and to drive it. I could not stop smiling inside and outside looking at the car sitting in the service department as I waited for Brad prepare all the paper work and complete the transaction.

Marysville detailed my car and as I admired it while waiting patiently, I was very anxious to sit in it and push the start button again. The wait was worth it. I walked around the car inspecting the fine detialing job that they did in cleaning up car. WOW....I was very surprised at my leather seats. They took care of it and the whole car looked and felt brand new. Marysville Honda did an awesome job in the detailing and care for the car.

I'm willing to come back again for service. A happy customer here.
Very happy to be driving my S2000 again.



I would like to elaborate more on the new engine feel and the ACT heavy duty pressure plate upgrade that I purchased from Hardtopguy. Ordered and arrived the very next day. Packaged with care. Thanks Jeff and it is performing as you've described. Happy with the results





I can really notice in the clutch travel and engagement. AMAZING!!!upgrade and worth it! All I have are good things to share, but I don't have time right now to describe it all, but getting the car back and having the car function and perform without any problems is first and properly breaking it back in.

I'll update again once I have more seat time and time to think about how I can describe the experience I have from the good customer service from Marysville Honda, Hardtopguy, and how I think because of the actions of Ray and Scott from Ohio's S2000 members to chime in and PM me asking what they can do to help escalate the issue through to Jeff Pister at Marysville. This means a lot to me and I appreciate it!

Glad you got your car back and a big for Honda Marysville. They now get all my service and Hardtopguy gets all my parts orders.

Indeed.

The new engine is responding so well that with the combination of the new clutch and the with the 4.56 gears the car is quick off the line and accellerating pretty fast without vtec.

I'm being careful to properly break in the engine and new clutch before any hard and aggressive driving. It rained a bit this evening and I can already feel the itch to kick out the rear and get sideways again haha .... j/k I resisted the temptation, I'm refraining from any actions of that sort until the car is properly broken in for 600-1000 miles.

I've been keeping the rpms below 5,000. With 4.56 gears and all, its a task that requires some attention :LOL but so far so good.

Thank you for the hook up!
Not sure if it needs a drop yet. So far it looks ok stock height as long as the tires are detailed. I think the combo of having a black car helps to hide the wheel gap. Coilovers or springs were up on the list prior to the engine surprise .

The GTU's Definately a good combo for a Berlina.
