But I have the most fun driving at the track and gt4 consumables are too expensive to do 12-15 track days a year. I did that with my m3 for 5 years and just felt like a huge waste of money after how cheap it is to run the s2000. I'm also learning so much more driving this car at the limits which is the reason I bought the car in the first place. I'm having too much fun in this car and it's getting even better with each mod. For most around here it probably feels like an old car, but I've only had it for 6 months and it's my first s2000 so it's all a very fresh and exciting experience to me. 
Any plans for a rollbar and harnesses/HANS in the future? Seems like that'd be coming soon..

Yea I have a HANS device that I used on my m3. My s2000 harness bar has been sitting in my garage for a few months. Should be getting it in the car sometime next month. I've just been hesitant to gut the interior behind the seats.

Good to hear. When really pushing the car a rollbar is definitely a good idea with harnesses and a HANS. I've been contemplating how I can keep my interior but add harnesses. It might not be worth the hassle but I'm going to see what I can do when the time comes. It might be somewhat doable, just a major pita since the interior pieces attach to the "bulkhead bar" that everyone removes when running harnesses.

When you get it painted are they going to blend paint up to the doors or just the front end is being painted?

I was thinking of taking an angle grinder to it when the time comes, guess we'll see. The concern I have is the thing is somewhat flimsy and taking material out of it might make it unusable for the stock seat belt mount. I was thinking it might need to be reinforced with some metal plates welded in. I haven't crossed that bridge yet but maybe I will in another year or so. Did you hack yours up?

You can trim the bulkhead bar to allow clearance for the harnesses.
