"Meta-Sarcasm." It involves making sarcastic remarks about previous sarcastic comments, adding another layer of irony or humor.

Might I recommend you drive the car for a year before going bananas in mods. It is a pretty good car out of the box. Things change in a year.
What have I done through the years besides the fluid changes?

Got a Billman TCT as ChuckS opined.
Did the rear axle re-tighten.
Valve adjustment.
LED interior map lights and foot well lights on an extra circuit to the 12V outlet.
New Headunit with bluetooth.
Sound deadening material in the floor and doors. https://www.s2ki.com/forums/s2000-ta...sults-1085903/
Polished windshield with 3M Pro polish (still ongoing)
Ceramic coating
Expel covering for the front and lights.
Window tint.
Surco removable trunk rack
Extra diff drain plug for the fill bolt (same wrench size and extra magnet)
Fumoto oil drain valve
Modifry secret compartment organizer
Arkon seat mounting stalk for holding phone
Formation analog clock
CR shift ball
CR radio door
Redline goat skin shift boot with double yellow stitching (I have a Rio Yellow Car)
Fire extinguisher behind the driver seat

The car is under 40k miles and I got a steal on it. The only mod I'm looking at is the new Saclam exhaust that King Motorsports will hopefully put on sale by the end of the year. I already got an earful from my tech about the quality of the exhaust on it now. That is until I find out the Saclam costs 1/4 of what the car is worth... My goal with the wheels is to return them to factory finish. Every "wheel repair" outfit has told me they have to be machined, but I haven't found anyone that can do it yet. After that, it will present as a near pristine example.

There were multiple reasons I got the car, but *I know, I know* it was bought as an investment. My plan is to keep it under 40k miles and see what happens in 10 years. That doesn't mean I'm not taking the first opportunity to trailer it to a track day and put 10 "miles" on it

Work on the rear window and that was an experience. Probably best to do with the top off, it was almost impossible to get back there and work on it.

Beautiful NFR that you have. What method and product did you use to restore the rear plastic window?

I used Meguiars PlastX with an orbital on both sides. Physically could not use the orbital on all the inside and had to resort to elbow grease for the edges. Window went from unusable to what you see now. I didn't really expect it to turn out that well.
