Hey guys, been awhile since I've been on here and almost 3 years to the day since I had to say goodbye to my 01 Suzuka Blue S2k due to a total loss from a front end accident. Neways, since then I've driven an 99 SI, and 01 S4. At the present I'm driving an 12 Nissan Juke SV AWD. It's a love hate thing with this but my only gripe is it's auto, AWD only came auto. I like AWD and I liked my S4 but I miss the S2k, I've always been a Honda guy and the S2k has always been my dream car that I obtained but due to some reckeless driving on my part, don't currently own anymore. So my question is, if I'm able to get another one at some point, should I get another AP1 or AP2? I love the AP1 and like some of the asthetic changes they made to the AP2. I loved working on it and of course really loved driving on it, didn't own it long enough to mod it.

 

I thought Suzuka blue wasn't available in the states till 02.

I have an AP2. My friend had an AP1. While I love my s2000 if I were to do it again I would get an AP1. I miss that thing.

My AP2 is much more refined and a better DD though IMO

 

Oh my bad it was an 02, I don't know why I put 01. Even in my profile it says 2002.

 

Yeah, that's my thought. I will probably get another AP1. The cool thing was my AP1 had an AP2 exhaust, the rear deck lid spoiler and the side guards, however I sold those on here to a member cause I didn't really like them. Don't know if I'll get another Suzuka Blue though, I've had a few white cars so I'm hoping, when it comes time for a gp white. But from the gp whites I've seen, the interior colors are just tan and red, if I'm not mistaken those are the only two interior colors.

 

All black interior was available in 06 I believe.

 

I figured it was either a typo or a repaint.

Yeah gpw had black n red till 02

02 was full red

03-05 was tan

06 was black

07-09 was black and red 2 tone

If I'm not mistaken..I'm not 100% sure bout 00-01 iirc they had red seats n carpet but black console dash etc...

 

Wait for the AP1 vs AP2 flaming.. I think there is a thread somewhere on this. From experience I'd take the AP2 over the AP1 any day, just what I prefer. btw over here and in the UK and Japan we got to keep the AP1 redline and gained the AP2 refinements. So this may be why. I'm also MY06, DBW. Some say here that MY05 is the preferred as it doesn't come with the traction control (DBW ).
I'd say go drive a few AP1 & 2's , least it'll give you more info to be able to decide. Then again depends entirely what deals you come across. Glw your return.

 

I dont know. This may be the first ap2 vs ap1 thread.
