Default What to look for? 02 JDM

Alright all? First post here!

I'm going to see a 2002 JDM S2000 tomorrow (in white!) and I have a few questions:


What shall I look for that should make me run a mile?

What exactly is different with the JDM spec? Does it have a smaller range lock to lock on the steering? I know it has slightly better suspension and compression ratio.
I know I should be looking for the glass rear screen and the de-mister.

Looks to be mint, can't wait - hopefully should pick it up in the later half of next week or next weekend!

Had a look today and it all looked pretty good, it didn't have the glass rear screen though :S

http://www.wrc-sales.co.uk/keighley/?id=445 (deposit left )

I noticed a slight fogging of the front light clusters though (not condensation) is this normal? I notice this is also happening on my mates Integra DC5 aswell. Are the light clusters cheap to replace?

Should pick it up next Saturday!

There are products at your local auto parts store that will defog those lenses for about $15 US. You gotta put in about 30-45 min. worth of labor though. You don't need to replace the lenses. I've used similar products here in the States and they are widely available at Walmart or Kragens. You guys should have some sort of equivalent in GBR.

Would these products also work on the slightly foggy rear window (plastic)?

Do you have a name of the products?

I've used a Meguiar's product called PlastX on my ES300 headlamps and it works great. I think it will work on plastic rear windows, as well. About $7 for a 10fl.oz. bottle at the local Walmart.

Not sure if it's available in the UK or if there's an equivalent, though.
