I actually have 2 cars and my S is just something i wanted to turn into some kind of track car, i already have a drag so i figured drift but most are against it guess the S's arent the best way to go for track related sports then
Um.... What?

The S2000 is a great TRACK car. just not a good DRIFT car. Doesn't mean it can't be done though.

Rx7 steering rack, different rear for sure with a good LSD, ... definately forced induction, s2k is way too underpowered for it, id say a properly sized turbo that will spool well at 2500-3k rpm ... A way to adjust all aspects of your suspension... so pretty much upgrade everything.

So after you price that out and mind you thats a very incomplete list, u should go buy a 240 for $1500.00, drop an SR in it since the stock KA will prolly be on its last limb at this point, and buy an LSD ... weld'd diffs are SOOO DUMB, and viscious LSD's are absolutely garbage.

get an alignment, some sweet tires, and go track it, learn how to drive the car, and with experience, you'll know where to go from there.

After tracking the car, if you feel you need to stay flatter, you can do suspension, if you feel that you need more power, I'd go with shorter gears, and/or some bolt ons or a supercharger, but first grab some sticky tires and go have fun
