Differences in various S2K model years

Post by J-AP2 » Thu Jun 25, 2009 2:53 pm

I came across this while searching for some information and thought I'd might as well post this as a sticky. It's more relevant to the US market but still has quite a bit of relevant information across the board.

Model Year 2001

• Model year 2000 did not have a clock. According to Honda, it was intentionally left out due to the race car theme. It became standard equipment on the 2001 model.
• Model year 2000 offered wind deflector as an option; it became standard with the 2001.
• Red floor mats became available.

Model Year 2002

• Public pressure was strong to replace the plastic rear window design with a glass window, equipped with a defroster, which became standard for 2002 model. The window is smaller in size and the top frame was redesigned to accommodate the glass.
• The UK Press release states “.. for 2002, there is a significant change in the suspension’s fine tuning. Spring rates have been increased, anti-roll bar stiffness reduced, and the gas-filled dampers (shocks) recalibrated. The changes have been made to improve steering feel and handling progression at the limit, while maintaining the response, grip and balance of the original S2000.â€

Yup 10 years have passed since it first launched. It was love at first sight manz. I was like, finally a RWD roadster from Japan that looks good and drives good, along with very decent NA power. The JDM era of the 90's absolutely rocked.

Way to go.. It really looks good on the inside and out.. Very nice to drive and with just the right kick to it.. My uncle has it and the only thing he wasn't happy about was the valve cover.. But all else is excellent he says.
