Hey, i have a 99 import s2000 and was wondering whether replacement parts are the same for the UK and jap models? ie so can i fit a uk clutch or uk starter motor etc to an import s2000?

With the exception of LHD/RHD differences, the rest of the car should be the same.

At the risk of being considered a titeass, you might reconsider your terminology. Some might find it offensive; much as similar, derogative terms for Germans, Italians, Africans, Mexicans, or nearly any other "not me" nationalities. Just trying to add a bit of civility.

im scottish and dont mind being called a scot, its far from racist and pretty clear from the context.. so dismount from your high horse good sir.

they are both RHD spets.

Sure, you don't mind being called a scot. Fortunately for you, there aren't a lot of derogatory terms for Scottish folks (I have Scottish in my heritage). But there are a lot of terms for other nationalities that many find offensive. I don't think it's a "high horse", it's just respect for others' sensitivities.

Well since the car was made in Japan, with the RHD, it should be allowed to be abbreviated to Jap, and UK is just an abbreviation as well, there is no racism nor should it be changed be cause of derogatory words, saying jap for a japanese person is not the same as calling a african person, the n-bomb, which no one should do cause that IS racist. so chill with all the derogatory terms and crap

irmos2k.... spot on

thank you, im the son of a Professional counselor and my family is known for being word-smiths, so just helping you out man, and i don't think there is a difference after the RHD and LHD, the clutch should just match up either way, cause an aftermarket clutch would have to match up to both for ex. but no prob man, just lookin out

wow.
funny how this conversation started about car parts and ended in racism and what not. lame.

but to the OP. Im pretty sure they are the same. you might want to compare stock number probably.
