I was confused on my year for a sec..
So for the heck of it I Google'd S2000 Year Differences and from every site, from 2000-01 to 2002, the S2000 in 2002 received these changes:
- Upgraded Audio System
- Door Tweeters
- Two-Posts to secure floor mats
- Plastic rear window replaced with glass
- So on..
Mine on the title is a 2001, BUT has all of these lol I bought the car used and I looked and mine has all these listed. I was confused and CarFax'd the VIN and came out to a 2001 (no I didn't buy the CarFax) so I guess the previous owner changed all of these? Interesting since it made me think mine was a 2002..

How do I read my S2000's VIN? (courtesy of HiPER)
The VIN for our car and any car after 1981 is a 17 character code. For the S2000:
1. J (manufactured, Japan)
2. H (manufacturer, Honda)
3. M (passenger car, made in Japan)
4-6. AP1/AP2 (chassis)
7. 1 (coupe+manual transmission)
8. 4 (grade)
9. Check digit (this is a random number - search VIN on Wikipeia to figure this one out)
10. Y, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 (model year, y=2000, 1=2001, etc)
11. T, S (manufacturing plant, T=Tochigi, S=Suzuka)
12-17. Production Number

Oh not my S2K BUT, I do have the same exact look without it lowered. I put the AP2 wheels on myself.
OP, do you also have leather around your center console? 01's came with carpet.
If the previous owner went to some length to update the S that you now own, hopefully your oil jet bolts have also been upgraded, and even your intake retainers.
No.. Carpet around which personally I like better for some reason. As for the oil jet (never heard of this being an issue) and retainers he did not do BUT as for the retainers, this week hopefully I am having a valve-adjustment along with AP2 retainers installed.
