Space is getting tight in the back of the S and I've decided to downsize my toolbox as I don't use 90% of the junk in my million piece combination SAE/Metric generic tool set.
Dimensions of the well are roughly 24 x 15 x 5.5" but the bottom of the well is rounded.
What's the best tool box to fit in the back of the S2000 well? Considering a tool roll bags as well.

While I was at it, I made a list of what I bring. Feel free to share what tools you bring to the track.

- 19mm, 17mm, 15mm, 14mm, 13mm, 12mm, 10mm, 8mm standard and deep sockets

I used to carry a drill and driver, but I realized that they take too much space. A power ratchet and a right angle drill does the same job with less space.

 

I use a tool bag I bought from Harbor freight, full of HF tools. That way if it ever got stolen while sitting out at an event I would not be out too much money But the bags are nice since they kind fit down in the curved areas better. I have another idea, but have not made time to make it so the tool bag is the thing I have gone with.

I keep just a metric set in there of wrenches and sockets, screwdrivers, allen wrenches, torx, a cheapo multimeter (literally like $10 from HF), battery terminal cleaner tool, some wire, some wire ties, electrical tape, some safety wire, a few pairs of pliers, and a shorty hammer among some other random things. Pretty compact and easy to take with me.

With the OEM tray out of the trunk, I can carry that bag, 2 short 2x10 pieces for helping to get a jack under it, a small race jack, a large rubbermaid bin with all my autox stuff in it including helmet, two jack stands, extra shoes, a small water sprayer, small jump pack and a few other odds and ends in the trunk for autocross events. Obviously everything else comes out and just the tool bag and jump pack stay for driving on the street.

 

Ever since I realized I can fit an EZ up horizontally in the trunk of the S, my track life has changed due to reliable shade. It means that bottom wheel in the trunk is much more important for storage as I can't fit a taller tool box.


I'm trying to get a decent system going of having some set grab bags that I can remove between track and daily driving.

Love the idea of using cheaper tools and reserving my more expensive tools for the home garage.

 

I haul the car to the track on the trailer so track days are a lot easier for taking extra stuff. Although trailering is actually more work in some ways, it is nice for taking extra stuff and with the track being 90 miles away it is nice to worry less about breaking something. But for autocross the events are closer, less likely to break stuff and so I do not bother with trailering so have gotten good at packing the trunk An easy up would be nice, but would not fit in the trunk with my other stuff. Plus here in MO, unless I had some decent amount of weight with the easy up it would end up down the road somewhere in the wind

 

I keep the tool set/jack in the foam piece that came with the car. I added gloves, flares, tape, an elastic strap with 2 hooks to keep the trunk down in place if I have something too large for the truck to close. Plus zip ties. I don't see myself working on this dependable car on the road but I know from experience what it is like to have a tire (rear) fail with luggage and a pax in the seat. I do have a simple socket set for the basics. Often I use it on non auto stuff while on the road. I have a blue plastic auto trim tool that you can use for popping the door and other panels if need be. I use it a lot as it makes reaching and pulling the snap retainers for the tonneau cover much easier than my fingers.

So, using the space above the spare tire, I have a Tire Plugger set and an Expedition Air pump. These are not WalMart/Harbor Freight stuff. I have used the Tire Plugger twice before on other tires and it became a permanent repair. (Not my vehicle) I also pack in jump cables, some water and microfiber towels that serve a dual purpose of keeping things clean and immobilize all the junk on the spare tire from making noise. (Ask me how long it took for me to figure that out)

I also have a Surco trunk rack that I added oak slats to prevent stuff from slipping through the metal bars and touching the paint. I can install that thing in about 2 minutes. It takes less than 60 seconds to remove it. If you need it, you need it. It also works well for bulky items like a tent, chairs, or umbrellas. Great for car camping.

I see a flat tire the most likely scenario and the places I go with the S can be extremely remote. Often I am out of cell phone range. I am ready to change and fix a regular flat but still be able to change to the spare without issue. If something else breaks on the S I see it as something more in depth than something I am going to crawl under the car with a simple jack and try to fix.

I also have a CCW concealed permit in almost every state around. (Many states recognize other state's permits. I have CA, AZ and UT which covers the entire west except OR and CO.)

 

Lol. Wish I could use the space over my trunk for that. Wings limit storage space unfortunately. I will say, I've started utilizing the space behind my passenger seat which has been helpful.
