'04 has 2 cup holders and different radio door cover
'04 has a different colored spark plug cover
'04 has different head and tail lights
'04 has oval exhaust tips
'04 comes with 17' wheels
'02 has SO2 tires
'04 has a different reduction gear in the tranny in the first 4 gears
'04 has a different rear suspension tune- made to be 'softer'.
There are other changes I believe, but that is all I can think of right now
Just out of curiosity, since you're pretty well versed in the short history of the S2K's, why did Honda make those changes in the newer models, as far as the redline, tranny, and the softer ride?
