Default just bought a 2003 S2k and plan to build for HPDEs (in VT)

I just bought a 2003 S2000 and plan to use this winter to build it up for HPDEs. I have a tow rig and a trailer, but will still keep plates on the car so I can dirve in on the street once an while.

It has

(1) Bilstein PSS9 coilovers
(2) Forbidden USA Mugen Replica Hardtop (and functioning soft top)
(3) SSR Type C RS Wheels 17x7.5(f) 17x9(r). w/ Hankook RS3 tires
(4) Fujitsubo RM01a Exhaust

It needs

(1) a roll bar w harness bar. Looking at Harddog and Rockstar. Want one that will work with both tops
(2) 2 Seats (need to get them that will fit and be as low as possible so at 6' tall I will pass the broomstick rule)
(3) harnesses
(4) 2nd set of wheels with R compounds
(5) suspension tweaking (big front sway bar, camber adjustment) Wondering if the Gendron kit is worth it.
(6) Oil - maybe add a Mishi Oil Cooler and a baffled oil pan.

I think I'll start there.

Hope so. I do mostly HPDEs with Audi NEQ, SCDA, Northeast track days and a few others. Palmer MA is my new favorite and was there 8 days this season.

What was your prior track car? Or your other track car?

And what's wrong with the wheels and tires on the car?

Previous track cars

99 Audi 1.8T (suspension, brakes, K04 turbo)
04 Golf R32 (suspension and brakes only)
83 Audi URQ w V8 conversion (fully caged and gutted)
12 JCW Mini (sticky tires, pads)
13 Golf R (sticky tires, race pads, VW Racing springs, ARP Stage 2+ kit) Now my daily driver.

Wheels and tires are good, but will want R compounds on a 2nd set of wheels.
