02-03 models offer the best bang for the buck, IMO. Cheaper than later models, and (depending on your personal taste) better.

 

where the thread about the differences between the years?

 

i suggest you search a little more

 

I prefer the AP2 - looked at both an 303 and 04 when I was buying. Both are great, but I liked the nicer interior, bigger engine, bigger wheels, more stable handling - imho of course. You're not really missing out on anything no matter what year you buy, 02-04, but I'd avoid the plastic rear window S's.

 

heh, alright thanks guys.

Im probalby going to try to find me a 2002 or 2003. I like that 9k redline. Also, i dont have the finances to buy an 04+.

Ive also heard the S handles boost like a dream. Could someone direct me to where that is being discussed? I'd appreciate that greatly.

 

O btw, what is the engine codes for an AP1 and AP2?

 

f20c and f22c

 

check out the force induction section
