I was searching some of th FAQ's and Stickies around here and came across the one that basically breaks down your VIN code. I noticed that mine contains a "T" in the manufacturing plant slot.

"S" for Suzuka
"T" for Tochigi

cant recall the other production plant, i believe it was Takanezawa.

I was wondering if there was any pros/cons in having an S that came from any particular plant.

 

ap1 - Tochigi
ap2 - Sukuka

If I recall

 

i believe thats correct

 

its called the Ap1 VS. Ap2 Debate thats been going on for years

 

If your car wasn't made by the old man on line 2, section 4, you're probably going to have clutch buzz.

 

 

i dont know if thats true because i have a ap2 and it says "T" on mine wich implies tochigi i guess

 

My 05 AP2 has "S" in the vin.
I thought the Tochigi plant had a fire and they moved production to the Sikuka plant.

 

Tochigi was the factory through the 2004 model year. Then it switched to Suzuka. Thus, all AP1 and one year of AP2 were at Tochigi.

There should be no difference in the cars, as Honda's production lines are pretty standardized. They move models around all of the time with no ill effects.

 

For a time, Tochigi was the limited production line. The NSX, s2k, and original Insight were assembled there.
