AP1- i believe the 2003 models have upgraded banjo bolts right? if not these you need to worry about. Also they are not very forgiving in a money shift aka over rev.

AP2- some believe they had a stronger rear and better transmission. 8k rev limit, but if you're going to turbo, you can bump that up to 8.5k and bump the vtec curve down to 5 to 5.5k and it'll be fine since you should be using another ECU.

Might consider a better rear end with a turbo kit. Puddymod maybe.

All in all, can't really go wrong with either model.

2003 model is what i think is best in the AP1 segment.
2004-05 model is what i think is best in the AP2 segment.

 

Where are the pics?

 

i like the F22 because i DD my car, like these other guys said, theres more usable power in the low end for the ap2 thats why it works well for me. thats just my preference, i really dont think theres a "better" one between the two.

i'm surprised this hasnt turned into ap1 v ap2 thread. also i would have to agree with previous posts that this wouldnt last long if a woman didnt post the topic

 

I actually really hate the Z4 when I'm ready I will be buying and S2k I'm just not sure when that will be.

 

I would love to come out to this when, where and what time is it?

 

I like AP1 better, but for you I suggest you simply get the best-condition car you can afford.
