Default Differences on the MY2002 model

Sorry if this has been covered to death in previous posts, but I've ordered a MY2002 (due in May/June) and am not totally sure of the differences between the new model and the previous one. Can someone please let me know?

Cheers

Ben

PS I am really counting the hours until the car arrives.....

Some UK Specifics:

- Single slot CD player, in place of the old tape deck.
- Colour wise, we don't get Sebring Silver, but get Nurburgring Blue (same colour as Suzuka Blue) and Indy Yellow (Same colour as Spa Yellow). We're also lucky in that we get Monte Carlo Blue which the US doesn't.
- Different Spring/Damper settings, and probably different chassis alignment. (I've not seen the MY2002 alignment figures yet.)
- The 'Honda' "H" badges are a different design. Metal, with the paintwork showing through, rather than the 'solid' badges on older cars IIRC.

-Brian.

what about clear repeaters? JDM2002 has that.

The wheels also look a different shape on the rim - as well as the surface finish.

Hi Ben

Here are some photo's of the S2002. You may see some things.

Only one other thing to add is that the plastic surrounding the HIDS is now chrome not black and headlamp washer button has moved up by steering wheel (opposite Fog switch).

If there is any pictures you want taking of certain bits...let me know.





Cheers

Thanks to everyone who replied. I've now got a reasonable idea what to expect when she finally arrives in May/June. Luckily for me, I'm in Jersey so saved a bomb on not paying VAT so I mine should cost about

Probably easier if you send me an email and I'll mail them all?
