all this comes together to make what is arguably the best s2000 ever produced.
key word here. you will find people who prefer ap1 and some who prefer ap2. neither is specifically better than the other, it all comes down to preference.

i drove a used ap2 for a couple days, when i was considering trading in my ap1. i decided i did not like the ap2, and preferred my ap1. to each their own.

what does ap1/2 stand for?

I think ap1 = pre 2004 and ap2 = post 2004, but don't know what AP stands for.

with ap2, you get a few subtle differences.

as for the car, you can see the obvious body changes, different bumper skins, different door panels (more shoulder room) and different radio door, and different cluster, with clock in display.
what did you mean by different bumper skins? How are the door panels different, and


Is there any way to identify the cluster btw? I mean ive seen integra and civics swap out the cluster like nothing.

how do you check the serial number on the engine to see if its in the right car?

I think AP is just the model. Like EK = civic 96-00? DC = integra, etc.

thx again for all your help



On a side note: can someone clarify what a branded title means? What about teh DMV issuing duplicate title? (does this mean theres two title in existence? )

I was reading all that carfax stuff and apparently they dont clarify if theres a lein or not on the vehicle. Would the DMV tell me?

Would there be any other problems with owning the vehicle if i have the pink slip? (even if theres a duplicate)


Sorry for the 101 questions

ap1 or ap2 is the chassis code.
