Never done any set up for drifting in a car, but i guess its all the same...tune your rear suspension to make it softer, and make the front a lot stiffer...this will have the front of the car bound up, there for transfering all the energy to the rear and make it a lot easier for you to get massive amounts of oversteer, plus with the stiff springs and suspension setup we have on our cars now, snap oversteer will be less of a hassle...

Again, ive never tuned suspension on a drift car, just for racetracks...so anyone with more experience can jump right in there, but that should help.

you can drift a NA S2000, but oyu are going to run into a lot of steering problems due to the electronic steering rack.

the rear is very very snappy. if you really want ot get into drifting, get a 89-94 S13 and practice on that. that way, when you take out the cones, you wont be too worried.
