Very good summary of MY's. My only criticism would be to clean up the capacity sections. Since a liter is larger in volume to a US quart, the numbers just don't add up. If you are using this info to find out what quantity of fluid to use or what grade to use, check in your owner's manual instead of this.

For some reason, I was thinking that (at least with the AP1) each year had different swaybars. I could be wrong tho.

I have a feeling that covering all the subtle differences from year to year would be some work (plastic vs. glass window, color of wheels, tail lights, tweeters or not, seat colors/stitching, dash layout, color options, etc.), but I certainly would appreciate the efforts.

LOL!! Then it would look like I knew what I was talking about, and I don't want to give that kinda impression.

Anyway, here is a thread that discusses the different Front Sway Bar sizes:

This is pretty good info esp. for the AP1's to compare to the newer S2's. I didn't know they would use a smaller sway bar on the newer cars.

The AP2 maximum speed in 2nd gear looks wrong to me. My AP2, on stock size rims, indicates 57mph when the limiter cuts in. According to my GPS (both my Traqmate and my TomTom), the car's speedometer is about 2mph fast, but certainly doesn't make 57 == 52...

Thoughts? I'll have to try the limiter in 2nd again on the way to work. You know, in the interest of research.

This shows 56.5 mph at 8000rpm in 2nd. Not sure where that 52mph number came from.

can the offsets of the stock wheels be added to the wheel/tires sections?
