was this the 01 nfr in Seattle?

do you VTEC your car often? Because if you don't and he does, then it's just the ECU. To fix this, just VTEC more often and that will make your ECU adapt to a more aggressive setting and the car will be faster in general, although I don't see the need to go so quick on the road in the first place.

no i think it's just lack-of-boost affecting your mood. =p

yah, that's what I figured too. assuming I got used to my car, wouldn't another AP1 feel almost identical?

my car is an '02, and my friend bought an '01.

I'll have to "test drive" his car again to find out, ah-haha. maybe I'll just have to train up the ECU again or something.

I have noticed when looking online that the stats between the 00-01 and the 02-03 have been different that the 00 and 01 always are faster in 0-60 and 0-100 and 1/4mile. ap1 V1 and Ap1 V2's are identical motors but the V1's are lighter and there suspension is stiffer to. Maybe what your feeling is the i believe 50lbs lighter car with an intake(which does add throttle responce greatly) is true maybe it is a "quicker car"

Like someone also suggested is reset your e.c.u and this way it'll relearn the car to your throttle patterns.

From what i've heard and read about the AP1 v1's have thicker sway bars front and rear. There spring setups are reversed as well the stiffer springs in the rear and softer in front where the ap1 v2's are smaller sway bars stiffer springs in the front and softer in the rear. also weight like i said minus the leather consol, tweeters, glass window and so on.

I've driven all generation of the s2000 but the cr :( and the ap1 v2 seems the most sluggish outta the one with out electronic throttle.

Ap1 V1's were just so set up for being a true sports car that the later models kinda steered away from it.

Just wait till you do just a test pipe your low end will be lost some more :p i noticed that when i did the intake and test pipe that the top end and the mid range were outstanding but the bottem was like beating a donkey to get going unless you launched it.

hope this makes some sense.

Please anyone that has any more info to jump in and correct me where i may be mistaken.

maybe you should get a second opinion... what does your friend say when he drives your car?

but the short ram intake really increase throttle response and reduces heat bog, but the weather now shouldn't cause heat bog.

if you're really concerned, maybe take your car in for a leak down test and check the spark plugs, change the oil and reset the ECU....

good guess!

I'm also rocking AP2v1 rims. I'm sure that isn't helping either, hehe.

if anyone has free time, I wouldn't mind meeting up and letting someone to test drive my car. although I will be cutting the insurance on my S soon.

Nothing wrong with your car man. Prob difference of running 16 and 17.

if im correct...i believe the 02+ should have a better ECU o.O
