well the guy is giving me $$$ for the swap so might as well make money, plus the car is going to a dealership and wont know the diff. In fact they didnt even know what a S2000 was and by who.


So is this confired though? no problems with top up and down?

good luck with the swap - major pita but it can be done within 8 hours with short breaks.

It is a pain in the a$$ to reach some of the bolts/nuts (especially if you are 6'3 ), but it's definately do-able even for the average person

I think you'll regret it when you get half way through the procedure. It ain't easy.

[QUOTE=centralcoastbuc,Oct 25 2006, 06:06 PM] If his was originally plastic, you will have to do a mod.

To summarize:

If you swap the entire assembly (frame, top and window) the procedure is straighforward, though time-consuming.

If you want to install a newer top with glass window on the frame of a car that originally came with a plastic window, you will need to do some "custom" modifications. Plus, the procedure itself is somewhat more tedious.

The procedure is listed on this site. Check the Library and then in the FAQ for Under the Hood as a start.

Not true, You can swap an 02-06 top and frame to 00-01 by just bolting it on.

Now if you want to swap and 02-06 top onto an 00-01 frame, you have to make modifications.
Correct. I didn't catch that he was swapping the whole assembly.
