I have just bought an s2000 from Japan, first time importing and also dealing with this kind of car! Just wondering if anyone who has imported themselves could give me a steer in the right direction as to what is needed to get the car ready for its SVA test! Any advice would be appreciated!!

Cheers!

 

Get someone to do it for you, much less hassle. It's a minefield unless you know what you're doing, as a few people on here have found out.

 

If you need an early ECU to borrow, let me know.

 

What year is the car?

 

I'd guess 2000 judging by the profile
In which case you shouldn't have too much trouble.

 

The year of the car is 1999 but ive been told it was brought out as the 2000model?!

In that case, does anyone know what is needed to get it through the SVA?

Is it just the case of pressing a button to change the speedo or is there more to it?

Also, dont suppose anyone has any links to website with parts for the S2k?

Euan, check http://www.s2kuk.com There is a Suppliers page there under Benefits, where discounts for s2kuk members is available.

 

can i ask a question how come you bought an import S2000? I got one cos for some strange reason my insurance quote was way cheaper than if had bought a UK spec...

altho both perfrom exactly the same???

 

import has more bhp
no factory alarm

for me in my import it was no extra

 

yeah bout 10 bhp more...

which came to be really stupid because at the end of the insurance thing i was quoted a way better quote than a UK spec one...

lemme see was quoted 6k for uk spec 2k for a jap spec with higher bhp...

wierd
