Hello everyone,
I got last year summer finally my first S2K. 100% stock. It a MY 01.2006 Facelift AP1 as I am from Europe. So MY 2005.
No VSA and no E-Throttle.
Did some minor updates like 20th anniversary front bumper, Ducktail and a Ballade Sport rear diffuser. 20th anniversary foot light to come also. Will put on a spoon snorkel and a programmable ECU mainly for the reason to have traction control. Of course the Wideband Lambda and some mapping updates will improve it a bit too. Also will change the position from IAT from the Intake manifold to the Airf filter hose. I think that's it for the moment.
In future I am planning an AP2 Gearbox to improve acceleration a bit more.
That's it. Have a great day guys

I was afraid it was Moon Rock. The closest we got was Chicane Silver and like a beautiful woman that color turns my head. Since color did not appear anywhere on my priority list when buying in 2014, long after the last new S2000 rolled out of a dealer showroom I took the best condition car I could find which was, of course, the most common color Silverstone.

You didn't get the colour? Oof. I have to say red is usually my favourite colour but that Moon Rock is really something else. When I do some tours or touge with my son, he always asks, what are the people looking at?

Well, I check that and saw on YouTube a bunch of guys, who say it transformed the car compared yo the AP1 transmission.
As it is a stock part, looks for the moment to be the best invest, especially when changing the clutch soon, 1 time work.
I hope I'm not wrong

The other reason is mainly to piss off my one buddy, who exchanged now his 718 Spyder with an 718 Spyder RS, because I was closing up on touge and he just couldn't get rid of me
