Hi guys, I've been reading the forum for a while but now I finally bought myself a Honda s2000 here in Sweden. It is a moonrock grey 2004 AP1. I must say that the gearbox is probably the best I have ever tried, and I have driven a lot of cool cars!

Superb condition, only 23500 miles. =) Black interior, 18" OZ rims, the rest is all stock.
Nice color!! I noticed you mentioned it is an AP1 is this an error or did european AP1s go up to 2004?

All european models are AP1 (even the 2008), I have the F20C2 engine, 9K redline. As I understand on the S2K, the chassie code AP1/AP2 refers to the engine.

I still have all the other stuff that was changed with your Ap2. (springs, interior, etc.)

Oh no its stowed away during the winter. Think I drive it from may-september or similar. So 4-5months.

I recently got a new 08 one, Here are a few pics of my previous one.

Stock rims a nice summer day.


Was going to the tuner a early summer morning, my brother did bring his pillow to sleep for awhile as we started the trip at 03:30 am.
He made a funny face just as the pic was shot so i decided to take it away Black painted ap1 rims here for abit more racy look.
Also more comfortable with higher profile tires for long duration driving.

Very nice s2kswe! You should post some pictures of your new car as well when you take it out in the spring.

Here is another shot of my s2k, taken by my girlfriend (who is somewhat of an expert of photography compared to me).

I have a mother from Finland and alot of relatives all over the place. I was gonna go there last summer with my previous car, BUT turned out Finland have no e85 stations.

Even had plans to take the ferry from Stockholm to Helsinki and make sure I had a full tank when I boarded the boat, and then just visit my closest relatives. Even have some spare e85 in the trunk. However the reach with turbo and E85 on a 45L tank or whatever is not the best. Would have ended up taking all my trunk space with fuel if I had been going. So it was a no go.

I am in the starting pits for making another build on my new car aswell. There are some new issues to overcome with the newer model. So I don't know if I will be doing it or not. Time will tell. I am not gonna put myself in a situation when summer hits and my car is in pieces in the garage thats just unacceptable.

Did you have a turbo on your last s2k? Very cool if you did! You have to tell us more, can I read up on the specifications somewhere? Who did the tuning? What kind of power did it make?

I've been thinking about doing something like that in the future, I did a complete engine-swap on my last car and installed at turbo engine instead, and as far as I know, it's not that hard to do the conversion on a s2k.

Did you remove everything for the annual inspection? (Bilprovningen?)
