I didn't understand too much on it...
What year engines came with the 2.2L?
--these are some things that stood out--(I'm still reading the threads made here, Bare with me, I'm just trying to get a nice bang for my buck)

ap2 = 2004+ = 2.2L
in general its viewed that the 03 is the best ap1 and 04/05 (identical) are the best for ap2
of course, there are those who will disagree.. but thats a general pattern i saw

2.2 started in USDM of '04.
I mean, Honda Obviously capped off the lower RPM for a reason/and bigger liter correct?
Which is basically the arguement of everyone
Less Torque/More Torque etc...
Ohhh and What about suspension? any difference in the years?

It has been arguably proven that AP2 suspension is the better. I have owned both, and had an '05 for about a week in between. The AP1 is notoriously twitchy. It gives a bit more feedback, but is known for snap oversteer. The AP2 is considerably more balanced. To some, it is more sedated, but most call it refined. Of course, MY06/07 added VSA or Vehicle Stability Assist to the mix
