Cris, I bet you are happy to have more low end torque to play with. I drove a S2000 once and to get any real grunt out of it I had to wind that motor up like a top and keep it wound up!

As far as you IMS goes you should have a double row bearing, To calm your nerves have the oil changed take the filter cut it open (remove the end caps and unfold) no steel no problems. Have someone run diagnostics for the cam deviation, Under 5+/- your OK. Under 3 +/- your good 2 +/-or less smile.

By the way nice looking car and that my first choice if I buy another one.

thanks love the color too! i get a lot of thumbs up from people walking by when the right light hits it

as for the IMS i just replaced it and have a direct oil feed shooting fresh oil into the open bearing so i am sleeping like a baby at night.

yes sir! and i had the later model AP2 with the 2.2l engine so it had a bit more torque but you would need to keep it above 5500 to get it to really play ball. the good thing about it is it liked to be revved and because of the engine being so well engineered it was crazy reliable!

but the torque in this flat six is smooooooth and the noise is intoxicating!
