R00567

my car is a 2002 ap1. i'm currently trying to get the car dialed in and running the way i want it. are there any worthwhile ap2 parts one can put on a ap1 motor to make it better if not more reliable?

here is a list so far of what i have....

ap2 retainers in the head are better than ap1 retainers because they tend to crack.?

ap2 coil packs because ap1 coil packs tend to take periodic dumps?

stick with the ap1 clutch slave so you can avoid the delay switch in the newer ap2 clutch slave?

is there anything else worthwhile upgrading? i love the ap1 motor hands down and im willing to do any worthwhile OEM upgrades that i can to enhance the motor's life and performance.

any help is appreciated.

for any particular reason? does the ap1 one tend to go back after a certain amount of mileage?

thanks again,

really? i didn't know the driveshaft was any different in the ap2.

i know the diff is reincforced...but that's about it.

You got it all. I don't think the coilpacks make that much of a difference though...

I recommend keeping the AP1 flywheel because of its lighter weight.

^Forgot about that. It's 8lbs lighter I believe.

AP2 valve retainers are stonger too.
