Strange I was about to ask the Oz community a similar question. I saw an add for an ap2 the other day, and they had a pic of the dash. It had the ap2 dash, but the redline was at 9k not 8.3K(?).

Also when I last had my S in for a service, I mentioned an f22c to the service crew and they had never heard of or seen the f22c.

Just because it has an f20 doesn't mean its an Ap1.
For clarity and not to beat a dead horse:

On the contrary, exactly because of the fact that it does have the F20 makes it an AP1.

I know a lot of AP2 guys with the reflash mod switching to AP1 clusters because it's easier to read 8.5k

It is important to note that in 2004, North American S2000s got a revised engine, commonly known as the AP2 engine (F22C) - this is the 2.2L stroked engine. Europe and Asia continued to get the 2.0L engine (F20C) in the AP2 chassis, but Japan got the stroked 2.2L engine starting in 2006. In Europe and parts of Asia/Australia today, you still get a 2.0L engine in the AP2 chassis.
This is still going round my head, according to every source I can find in google and the S2Ki FAQs, cars in all markets post 2004 are AP2, regardless of if/when they moved onto the F22C engine..
