Alright, I have an EUDM '06.

What does that mean?

Well:
-2.0L, 8900 rpm redline.
-Engine does not burn oil.
-Says "AP1 / F20C" at the very front of the engine bay, where the chassis # / engine # / etc is.
-Have VSA. ('06 feature)
-Have CDV.
-Got the headrest speakers standard ('06 feature)
-Have the '06 seats (leather, so not JDM (which IIRC are non-leather)).
-Have the '06 wheels.
-Don't have cruise control.
-Don't have passenger-side weight sensor to disable passenger airbag. ('06 feature)
--Don't have small indicator of passenger-side airbag being disabled, not mentioned in the manual. ('06 feature)
-Don't have the Oil Minder. ('06 feature)
-"Honda" badge on top the "S2000" badge on the sides.

I'd like to learn what exactly I'm driving here, and which AP to take reference when reading about certain parts.

I'm guessing the engine is the same engine as the '05 JDM 2.0L / 8900rpm redline with less compression. Does that engine count as an "updated AP1"? So I would look for AP1 parts? isn't there a chance of 00'-'03 AP1 parts found on American S2K online shops being different than what I would need?

What about suspension, transmission, and differential?

 

i wanna know ....this is interesting.... im not familiar about europe version s2....

 

You have the best of all words, IMHO.

F20C redline coupled with the updated features.............perfect.

BTW: EUDM is Europeon Domestic Market. How did you end up with this car in the states?

 

+1

 

Using the US flag instead of my actual flag lets me stay under the radar, avoid unnecessary attention. It's not that I have a problem with my nationality, I'm in Turkey, by the way, but having a US flag under my name on these forums just makes life 10x easier. Hope you guys understand that.

 

that's okay. i am an american but as a VW/Audi lover i use the German flag. admitting this might make my life 10x more difficult on here.

 

Good choice on the color combo

 

As far as the engine goes there should be some more after F20C, most likely a "2".
That makes the engine type the F20C2.
That type needs higher octane numbers, 98 RON.
The F20C1 will do with 95 RON (according to my German manual)

Not long ago I was at my local dealer and I noticed the same with a MY05 S2000 they had in the showroom.
AP1 in the vin number.
F20C2 engine.
AP2 looks.
(I didn't look into the specifics)

Cruise control is an option you have to buy.. isn't it?

As for parts... (IMO)
Engine => AP1 (F20C2)
Transmission => ? (most likely AP2)
Chassis inc. suspension=> AP2
Diff => doesn't matter IIRC => AP2

 

That's correct, actually it is F20C2, I just wasn't sure if that was applicable, my bad.
Thank you very much, SpitfireS.

On a related note, what happens if you happen to use 95 RON?
(I currently buy 98, and 98 only from BP, and BP only )

Oh, and I was never offered cruise control as an option.

 

Your in Turkey?


Ashek Kafala!....If that's how you spell it

Nice, Turkish is my first language!
