Holly Springs Maintenance/MOD DAY
There are a few that come to mind that are necessary:
Valve Adjustment Tool - It makes adjusting valves a breeze. There are a 10, and 12mm version, and the S2000 takes the 12mm (if I remember correctly
)
Bent Feeler Gauges - Need the .008", .009", .010", and the .011" gauges.
3/8" Torque Wrench - This you could get away without, but I just like starting out with it so I can get a bearing on exactly how much torque to put on the adjustment nuts. Exact torque is around 15 ft lb or so.
Spark Plug Socket - Need the 5/8ths version
There are other tools like 10mm & 12mm sockets, hex key (can't remember size for removing spark plug cover), pliers (to remove tube clamps), a longer socket extension (for spark plugs), 19mm cresent wrench (the ratcheting ones are good, since this is used to turn the crankshaft).
While you're in there, if you've got an AP1 it's also handy to check the valve retainers with a light and dentists mirror.

My significant other has made plans for us during the day on Saturday, so I can't show up to help. Luckily though, aside from the valve adjustment, the other items you listed, Pedro, are fairly straight forward maintenance.
I'd be interested in future maintenance/mod/detailing days. I've got experience and would be comfortable helping others. These upcoming weekends will be a little hectic for my schedule though.
