Well, it seems that the H22 flywheel is ~20mm larger than the S2000 flywheel. Tw4t.

Infact I am willing to bet that if you swapped to a Prelude flywheel, you'd have no issue in using a Prelude clutch.

Afterall, the F is based on the H.

Bolt pattern matches, it'd all be down to the diameter of the flywheel.

Rest assured, retailer are out to con you and they are charging you S2000 tax.

My cousin went for a tour round K&N factory the other month and for what you pay £200 for costs them about £5
I was thinking the same with regards to induction kits. It wouldn't cost too much to make one from scratch. Obviously you would really have to think about how you would do it but other than that!

A bit of googling reveals quite a few "negative" experiences - certainly not worth a saving of £125 over the very good OEM clutch.

do a search for gripforce clutches. Even after postage and duty, you won't get cheaper.
