Default Finally got an S2000 (track only)

Let me introduce myself as a new AP2 owner. I have always like S2000's. Ever since they came out I wanted one. I don't care much about lots of power, I am more about RWD 2 door manual tranny cars so the S2000 suits me perfectly. I have a 370Z 6spd that I use for street and track and I race a '00 civic on Street Touring Class. Anyways I bought a track only (race car) ready AP2 a couple of weeks ago. The car was made a track car in 2012, and it only raced in one event so chassis wise is in excellent condition. Some of the parts it has I know the brand, some I don't.
I drove the car last week at the track, car wasn't aligned, balanced, but I just wanted to feel the car. I loved it, the sound, the turn in, the steering fee, chassis response. However the tranny broke, but the previous owner gave me a spare tranny he had (this was part of the deal). I am not sure if this spare tranny is AP1 or AP2.
I will be posting more details on the road racing and hopefully I can get pointed on the right direction as far as "must do's" for track only cars. My main concern is durability as far as drivetrain and transmission.

LIST:
What I know the car has:
17x8 enkei rpf1
apr wing
AEM 2
OS Giken LSD
Ohlins Custom coilovers
Porsche front calipers (I don't know which Porsche)
Puddymod reinforcement

Some things I don't know the brand yet:
Headers
brake pads
Exhaust system


Here are some pics.
