Hey folks,

I have the opportunity of trading my FQ300 in for an 04 S2000 in dark blue (not sure what the manufacturer colour is called - v.dark blue almost black)

On the ad details it says it is a 2.0l engine?? Are all 04 S2000's not 2.2l engines?

Excuse my ignorance...

The 2.2 is not available in the UK except as an import.. it was made for the yank market i think.. all our cars are 2.0, 240bhp

Thanks buddy. That's a strange one though hey? How come they didn't introduce it over here?

Any tweaks at all on the 04 engine or is it the same as the previous year?

I've seen a few posts that its a little toned down!?

The 2.2 is a watered down, less revs, more torque jobbie for the yanks that can't cope without a V8.

Come on Jamie, I thought you knew more than that . 2.2l has different peaks on torq etc for the yanks but pretty much same power. I think vtec is lower on the 04 model and is much less of a kick. Get rid of that evo

Here's a pic of the proposed new baby, what do you you think?

My only concern is I don't have a clue what colour it is. It's a really dark blue and I can't find it in Honda UK's spec... although they advertise it as being a UK car...

The 2.2 knocks out 250PS rather than 240 PS of the 2 litre...
