Hi all
Looking for the above info. Currently have a jdm mk3 crx vtec and there's plenty of subtle differences with interior,exterior, engine etc.
Planning to import an s2000 from japan to dublin ireland this summer.I've read through a few of the threads listing differences.hoping some jdm owner might add some more.

Are these correct for a start:
Rhd obviously!
no cruise control at all?
no headlight washers.
no rear fog light
is there a button for changing mph/kph like on euro model?
does silver always come with red leather and not black?
Is the sat nav in japanese only?
colours available in 1999,is silver/blue same as civic from same years
any major engine parts differences?
fenders swappable with euro version (want to switch license plate size)

What else am i missing

thanks

Hi there, I'm a JDM owner, here's your answers, hope it'll be useful for u.

1.) RHD
2.) No cruise control
3.) No headlight washers.
4.) No rear fog light
5.) Is there a button for changing mph/kph like on euro model? I don't know about the Euro Spec, but for JDM, NO.
6.) Does silver always come with red leather and not black? No, mine is a silver with black interior.
7.) Is the sat nav in japanese only? YES.
8.) Colours available in 1999, is silver/blue same as civic from same years? I doubt it.
9.) Any major engine parts differences? Comparing with the USDM, Honda claims 250HP in Japan(Probably some minor changes in the CPU), and the placement of the Battery/Fuse box and the Brake pump is different(Switched side).
10.) Fenders swappable with euro version (want to switch license plate size) I turely don't know about the Euro spec.

Are S2000s sold through Honda dealers in Ireland left hand drive? They should be rhd, aren't they? I was confused as to why you would list that as a "difference."

 

hehe I have a EU foglight on my US spec model added it

 

Bass,

What's the source for the rear fog lamp? Cost? Also, if you have an '02 or '03, where did you put the dash switch?

Thanks.

 

Thanks for the help guys,
Still trying to source a nice one in japan. Btw you're right the cars are rhd in Ireland I was justing listing differences between us euro and jap.

In terms of fog lights, I've seen some crx's where they have replaced one of the revesing lights with a red bulb and re wired to use as a fog. Nicer than having a non sotck light hanging from under the fender
