2.2l is in the American spec, UK and JDM models use the 2.0l.

JDM moved to 2.2l after a particular date i'm sure?

So maybe same with the UK models?

The 2.2l are easier to drive no the street due to more low down torque, but lack the rev's of the earlier models.

I'd prefer the rev's :D

Cool car dude, PM me if your ever in Yorkshire LOL

Nice cars and that one is cracking. My mate got one as a 2nd car and slapped some rotas on it. I drove one last night aswell at work but unfortunately its a bit cramped if you're 6ft 6.

Still I could probably live with it, MX-5's are a lot more cramped.

99.9% sure all UK models use the F20 (even checked 15 S2000's today for my own sanity).

There was a reason why we took the 2.0l Japanese engine instead of the US spec 2.2l. I can't remember exactly what it was, maybe a more efficient or stronger engine, it would have been for some reason along those lines. :)

more than likely due to the european emmisions laws compared to the american laws,

also the yanks are fat and lazy and the market would have prefered the extra low down torque i would assume.

you would know more than me though cos you work for honda lol
