such a shocker!! How in the hell did all that happened?
at least your 2.2L 320HP will make up for the lost.

By the way, J's racing representative is arriving to Athens in the evening for one day, just for some business (not for my engine). So... I might take him tomorrow to have a look at my engine and get his opinion as well.

Bad timing all together.
I was expecting myself to take him at the track with my S...

News Update Bulletin! 
After almost 20 days without my S in my hands, am really happy to say that tomorrow evening I will have my S back on the streets!
To be honest I have decided not to go for the J's Racing 2.2lt 320hp engine but for an 2.0lt OEM engine just to feel a little bit more safe.
The reason is that the compression of a tuned engine such as the J's Racing is so high, that am concerned that I will have to take care of this engine way to much. Besides J's Racing themselves advise that with the compression set more than 13:1 the engine will not last for a long life without some prior maintenance and frequent internal checkup. So for those reasons tomorrow evening I will have my baby back in my possesion and ready to smoke it again (some things will never change)!
I just want to thanks you guys for your support and I must say that those 20 days have made me think so many scenarios, even scary ones ie parting out my staff and selling my S2000, which I must say my faith and your support have put me back on track.
I feel a sentimental group S2KI hug coming up...
Thanks once again to everyone and I really appreciate your support.

Reason I say is you could do a 2.2 with upgraded dual spring valve springs to bring the revs little higher. AEM tune and you should have little bit more hp over stock with a long life. ;-)
