Thanks for the "To Do" list. This was immensely helpful in pointing out which parts I'll eventually be needing.

Edit: Here is a spreadsheet I put together with prices and part numbers so others have an easier time finding the parts they need as well as approximate prices. It should be noted these part numbers and prices are for a 2003 and prices are from hondapartsnow.com as I have used them in the past and have had good experiences with them.

This is not exclusively the things the OP mentioned, but some other parts and work I felt necessary for my peace of mind.

Great suggestion. Have reorganized.

This sounds like an amazing idea however you will need to make the file public so everyone can see it. I have sent a permission request to you now.

Wow! Thank you so much for doing that

I remember reading your thread years before while I was a student and even before I thought about starting the search for an S2000. I will continue to monitor this thread as best as I can and hope it has/continues to help S2000 owners.
