ap2 2005 s2000

[philipminge]

Hey guys.
So I have a 2005 s2000.
Im under the impression its an ap2... But the true ap2 in the states comes with a 2.2L
Different tranny
Different drive shaft bolts 10mm not 8
Bla Bla Bla and so on

So the ap2 was from 2004+

In aus I have a 2005 but with cable throttle. The 2006+ were TBW.

OK so question:

Here is aus we only ever got the 2L ap2.
But my 2005 model still also uses the AP1 drive shaft set up as the bolts are only 8mm.
And the torque setting is 32N.m or something (models 99-03)

Says 04+ they should be 10mm bolts and torqued to 49N.m

So why does my ap2/ ap1 whatever it is still run the ap1 drive shaft set up.

Just can't work it out.

I'm pretty confident in saying the ap 2 from 04 and 05 was basically an ap1... Then I find it hard to believe coz it doesn't over steer so much, Bumper front and rear is different, gearbox feels different, wheels are all ap2 spec...
But the drive shaft bolts are ap1.... I don't get it

Any comments welcome
