[QUOTE="Prometheus, post: 4085506, member: 18829"] Purposely over expose la.. the picture is of the seatbelt. Thats the seatbelt on my car. Just want to show you how the tag looks. It will be on the lower anchor end of the seatbelt. AP1 ceased production in 2001. Anything you find AP1 should be at the newest, 2002, ie last batch from the 2001 model production. Buying guide? Got.. but very technical. Probably very hard to find a mechanic who knows the S2k Well enough in Malaysia to check it out. Some Singapore friends with S2k got technical and told me to check engine compression etc.. I would suggest to drive it and see how you feel. S2k is rather rare care in Malaysia. Do a backside Dyno. You should be able to hear switchover to vtec at about 4-5k rpm, its very evident. ABS light should come on during startup and then go off after few seconds. If ABS light don't come on, ABS got problem. EPS light should come on and go off during startup also. Or do what i did.. find a good buy, low mileage, looking pretty, stock standard, and hope for the best.. buy and then fix up later. My AP1 mileage was only 55K when i got it. now about 60+K Most things "can" be fixed. Malaysia got very few parts. The AP1 half cut in puchong already sold also. If you kiasu some more.. I also downloaded the entire S2K service manual before i bought the car and looked over it. Most if not all parts can be sourced in Singapore or Ebay. Now in this thread, we also know who can install the soft top. (Some guy named lincoln) Check the car for the ABS Gear shifts will be rather tight, so you will have the blip throttle at every gear change for smooth changes. And the usual things for used cars, check for signs of previous crashes. With this forum going, i think we'll be able to find a good mechanic and bring all our S2ks to the same mechanic. So far, the S2k hasn't given me any severe problems yet. No potential manufacturing faults on the AP1 which actually stand out. AP1s are raw sports cars. No traction control, only the LSD to stop your rear from stepping out. You have to have good tires. I bought mine with 5 year old toyos.- All hard and deformed. Spun out after 3 days of ownership. Luckily never die.. After that changed to Re001s great grip. Here's an example pic of a VIN number, in the engine bay. Compare the serials with the the [URL="http://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=85405"]link in my last post[/URL]. You'll realize that the year of manufacture is 2000 april. I've changed the number to a fictional number for the benefit of the owner of the car. [IMG]http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/attachment.php?attachmentid=269171&stc=1&d=1262844226[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
