Didn't know that.

So yes he will be limited. I agree, go for an 02 or 03.

Higher rev limit and higher gears means fewer gear changes over AP2.

It's a shame he can't run an AP1 with an AP2 tranny.
If you're not a sentamentalist for the 9000RPMs (like I am) than an F22C w/ AP1 gearing would be ideal IMO. Longer gears in 1-4rd to spread that extra tq around w/o the hitting the rev-limit so early in 2nd gear.

Yeah I think they got it wrong the AP2 tranny belongs on the AP1 and the AP1 tranny belongs on the AP2.

What, Ken wouldn't sell you the Z06 I'd highly recommend buying an 02/03 if the budget allows.

Cool. Not much S2000-specific stuff to look for on 02-03 cars. Just do the sorts of checks you would on any other used car.

Funny you should say that. I have changed focus to an '02 or '03 (or a 1.8 NA Miata )

CSP is a slippery slope I want nothing to do with. Stock is good!
