Default Wat model S2K are u chaps in UK getting?

Hi all,

am from Singapore and we are getting both the 2.2ltr JDM AP2s and 2ltr Export AP1s.

the above are all right hand drive.

can i check the models that UK is getting and what are the differences in this as compared to the JDM spec?

and I was wondering, when the car is 2ltr and AP1, that means it is the 9k redline version right?

thanks.

2.0 = F20C - 9k redline.

It's the only one available in the UK. No 2.2's from Honda.

Im guessing an S over there is around $80k?

Really enjoyed my visit to Singapore!

Thing is, whereas the F20 is reckned to be down slihhtly in reality, the F22 is up.

The area under the torque curve is a lot better, so there IS a useful performance gain.

If you can bear to be without that last-1,000 rpm scream! (Or very-last-1,000-rpm tinkle-kaboom, in certain cases).

Most cars are 4 times the price and have to be chopped in after 3 or 5 years IIRC. Taxation is massive.
