I disagree - 2001 is faster - at least for the Spa Yellow ones. Yellow has been proven to be a lighter paint, and therefore faster. I've heard that it has better aerodynamic qualities too - much finer particles make for a smoother surface, and as a result more aerodynamic!

It's been proven time and time again that the 2001 Silver/Black is Honda's best effort. Just check out their adds.

Im trying to figure out how to set the clock forward an hour. If only I had a MY2000, I wouldn't have these problems.

Hold down the AM/FM button till it beeps. Then use the press the Hr key once (I think it is the #3 or #4 button).

HEY!

Whats wrong with an 16,000 mile replacement of the clutch and an 18,500 mile replacement of the rear window (I know, not a TSB)???

Of course, then there is my water pump at almost 18k...

Its faster, no extra weight of clock.
Plus the MY2001 has the extra weight of the mats, Wind blocker, and trunk escape hardware.

In addition Euro. Spec cars are lighter as they don't come with the orange film in lights

STRIP out the cruise control, I hear it adds nearly 100KG!

But the euros make up the weight in:
1) the headlight self leveling system
2) the rear fog light
3) the additional fog light switches in the center console

What the helium filled lighter than air Fog Light, switch is on the dashboard, drilled out blank and light weight carbon fibre option saves weight,

I thought the headlight leveling was standard on all cars?

The headlight washer system I concede adds weight, but do you know they work as aerodynamic splitters and help achieve a 3-4 mph higher top speed
