Then why are you on a s2000 forum

I really hope that is not a serious question... Do you actually understand the difference between JDM, USDM, EDM, etc? Hint, I drive a USDM car in the USofA.

No it wasn't a serious question But name the differences between a USDM s2000 and a JDM s2000 besides the RHD and a different engine tune? As far as I'm aware there aren't many difference in a JDM s2000 and a USDM s2000

Feel free to call me an idiot I'm still learning a lot about s2000's my first Japanese made car.

RHD, emissions controls, ECU tuning, F22C didn't come to JDM until 2006, there's other differences I'm forgetting I'm sure.

I am very intrigued with this build.

Well i just got a cusco 6 point cage. My next step will most likely be boosting it towards the end of summer/fall once i save up some more money. Just got my stage 4 clutch in this weekend so i'll be able to handle the power in the future. Besides FI, i'd like to eventually get the Spoon s-tai front bumper, and a J's wing. The rest is all in the air

Yes thats why my conversion has the f20 jdm ECU, all of the ap2 wiring, the AP2 gauge but i still have the 9k redline which is pretty cool

not having emissions control is my big worry, i need to find a way to "legally" pass emissions because i am not exempt yet. Everything you listed are the biggies. The JDM cars obviously don't have an immobilizer, the compression is higher, some different color options, JDM had the navigation option.. then there's other stupid small differences like the windshield wipers and ebrake switch sides etc etc.
