While air conditioning was offered on both models many MX-5s do not have it whereas most Eunos Roadsters do. This means that the power steering belt that would also drive the air conditioning compressor will be different between the two cars.
So too will be the radiator, as the Eunos almost certainly the Japanese like their air conditioning will have additional mounting points for the unit. None of these issues present any real problem though. Websites such as mx5parts. Later 1. Buy on condition, not miles. Make sure it's been serviced yearly rather than on miles if it is low mileage and watch out for rust on the sills.
Alignment, tyres, and tyre pressures make a world of difference in how the car drives. For me it would be a mid 90s JDM 1. DavidRSR 1, posts months. I imported a '93 1. As others have said, the car had a much better spec than official UK car's and was considerably cheaper. We had to have a rear fog light fitted for the MOT and spent a little extra to ensure it was fitted identically to UK models. Other than servicing and replacing tyres Jap tyres were terrible , the only issue we had was an alternator failure.

Mine was mega cheap, and is an early 1. Only rust is from a poor accident repair on the rear quarter, everywhere else seems really fresh, arches etc. Windows have both packed up, pass side is stuck up, drivers side is movable but only by hand , I'm sure its an easy fix and will get round to it soon.
A few seconds tapping on start up is nothing to worry about, as long as it disappears almost straight away, but an oil flush and change can clear this up.
People seem to think the viscous diffs are largely worthless, but mine still seems to lock up really well. I prefer the action of the viscous diff compared to the mechanical LSD I had on my old BMW as it seems far less aggressive and just stops you spinning the inside wheel when powering out of any tight corners rather than trying to kick the rear out on every roundabout.
Don't expect a stacked history file with a Jap one either, unless you can prove its been done its worth doing the cambelt and waterpump as well as putting some nice golden oil in there.
Enjoy it! I went for a 96 UK car, a 1. Spec is low no air con, no PAS, no electric windows , but seeing as I use mine mainly on track this didn't worry me.
