Vary your speed/rpm's during breakin as much as possible, don't go over 5,000 rpms. Don't drive for a long time on the highway at a constant speed.
If you're conservative, you might want to double the miles for break-in to 1200.
Check the oil all the time, buy an extra quart from the dealership in case you need to add.
Make sure the cold air pressure is right. Mine was at 38 all around!
Get a Mugen oil cap - unless you're willing to live with the risk of the factory one blowing apart.
Don't let anyone put their hand on the seats under pressure - it might leave an indentation.

IMO you don't need the Mugen bling piece at all but everyone has their personal preference.

All excellent points although I've never heard of or seen any stock S2000 oil cap "blow apart".

[QUOTE=wsimm1230,May 28 2005, 10:57 AM] After walking across parking lots and staring at the S2k since its inception, I take delivery on a Silverstone S2k this morning. Any tips for the break in?
