Looks good

Start doing research on BBKs, that will be the next weak point in your car. Without knowing the specific braking demands of your track, I'll say that your rotors and pads won't last more than 4 track days.

Yeah, definitely. Not sure what kit I'm going to do yet but BBK, Oil cooler and radiator are on the mod list for this winter.

Had an awesome day at the track today, I only have 5 track days under my belt, Including the Miata. I got signed off for A group today and received a few really nice compliments from the instructors.

Cut another 2 seconds off my lap time with a current best of 1:57. I'll post some video soon

Two different offerings of dual-pass radiators with built-in oil coolers - very clean and efficient setups.
https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/115...toroil-cooler/
or
https://www.facebook.com/Mrsideways-...74299024988192
-I have the mrsideways dual pass radiator (no oil cooler). It's better than the Koyo or Mishimoto offerings.

BBKs - i'm actually really liking the offerings from Sake Bomb
-The best rear brake solution that retains the parking brake (https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/114...kit-group-buy/) Or, you can go with the Urge Flow rear rotors (an ok solution, but less ideal than the Sake Bomb)
-And, for the front, you have a ton of options depending on your budget. The budget solution is either
StopTech ST40 or This (http://www.sakebombgarage.com/wilwoo...-system-s2000/), both can be had for $1500. There's also the more expensive solution that uses an AP-racing caliper.

-FWIW, i'm on the ST40 kit with Urge Flow rear rotors and kind of want the Sake Bomb stuff, but, they weren't around until more recently, so I went with the more "established" norms. I have no complaints, they exceed my braking needs and perform as needed and expected - I just like what Sake Bomb has to offer - definitely looks like quality stuff.

Good luck and happy shopping, I like seeing functional track builds that get used at the track.

I'll likely go with the Trackspeed oil cooler kit. I had it on my Miata, and the sandwich plate on the Miata and the S2000 are the same thread pitch, the price of the kit cant be beat.

http://www.trackspeedengineering.com...ooler-kit.html

And I've been planning on a MR. Sideways radiator, either with the trackspeed oil cooler kit, or and internal cooler if he makes them.

Regarding brakes, I've also been eyeing Sakebombs kit. I'm thinking the the Wilwood kit with the AP rotors and the matching rear setup is probably the best choice for me. Front and rears for less than the AP front kit alone, with almost all of the same capacity. And the Wilwood caliper is actually a touch lighter.

Thanks, I'm not into building things that don't get used, and I'm really enjoying this car so far. Just getting a little heavy into the costs at this point.

Here's a video of my last session. Couldn't get race render to work properly so no overlay.

All you need to do is insert that exact link you posted above between two MEDIA tags and remove s on the end of https:
