Compression ratio on JDM machines are slightly higher to take advantage in the use of the 100 octane fuel. Indeed cruise control is not available but I don't think you really need that in Japan that's why. There are 3 types of wheels available from factory, the standard is the 5 spoke Enkei wheels and the 2 optional ones are the 6 spoke BBS wheels and larger 5 spoke Modulo wheels that Tim from MG Racing has. Other than which, there is a 180KM/H speed limiter which can be easier defeated on the JDM machine and that's about it. No front jet washers and no rear fog lamp to add.
so is it 10 more hp in japan or just different measurement?

10 more PS

250 compared to 240 in Europe / US due to compression being higher on JDM

Equates to ~247 BHP Japan

~237 BHP elsewhere.

Does anyone have an idea where to locate the JDM wheels ... Pic's, Price, Etc. Are they the same size? Do one of our sponsors have access to them?

Nobody has mentioned this....I was under the impression that the JDM S2000 also has a different final-drive. I forgot the ratio, but I believe it's different. Can anyone confirm this?

As far as cruise control on manual's, my '94 Miata had it as well as my '87 300ZX.
So it's nothing new.

My other car is stick and it has cruise control as well.

Hmm, I don't think my JDM VGS final drive is different ... All I'm aware of is the higher compression ratio and 100 octane fuel in the power department.
