Hondata reflash.

The F20C swap is a good idea.

Personally, the interior on the AP2 is worth it.

 

Whats really different besides the center console and the dash?

 

Not much ... but the gauge cluster is almost impossible to change. On top of that you have bumpers + head / rear lights + subframe + carbon synchros in tranny, etc

Anyway ... let try to stick to factual differences here, and not another AP1 vs AP2 thread here hehehehehe

 

To my understanding:
Door tweeters
Center console (big difference for me)
Glove cubby (maybe it qualifies as a box? haha)
Roll hoop speakers (06+)
Plusher seats (06+)

They are all preference issues at the end of the day.

 

damn, i want 9k!

 

9k is over rated.

 

9k is pure beauty
never gets old

 

i will say this...comming from an AP1 and an AP2....

the AP1 has this special high strung race car feel, but it feels like it revs forever.

the AP2 has shorter gears and shorter revs, so it feels short lived, but the torque is DEF better, especially after a tune and the AP2 really comes alive after a tune and a nice exhaust.

I miss my AP1 high strung engine feel, but the AP2 makes up for everything i miss, now that its modded.

I actually kind of wish i had an 06-08...since they make about 5whp more and can reflash the ecu...but whatever.

If i was to leave both cars 100% stock...id take the AP1 for fun, but the AP2 for looks and everyday driving

 

I do wish AP2 rev to 9k, while maintaining it's exterior look and interior. That's why s2k in Euro is so nice.

 

I am really starting to wonder what kind of drugs I'm taking here.
Am I the only person that likes the AP1 head and tails over the AP2?
I have to admit that I don't like the orange turn signal but I have changed that and love it.
