You may be getting close to needing new spark plugs.

Injectors and coilpacks can start to go wonky about this vintage. But not the norm. Just not uncommon.

Don't forget to check brake pad / rotor life and consider a fluid flush if you're going to be autocrossing.

You will seriously go through rear tires every 10,000 miles if you're driving the car the way it's intended. If you autoX you will want to use a second set of rims for those tires as several autoX's is enough to kill a set of street tires and driving on bald tires in rain or cold weather in the S2000 is NOT fun.
i have 2 sets of wheels already.

Create an account on Honda's website and register your VIN.

It'll tell you the proper maintenance items and intervals, plus any recalls that need to be done.

Change the diff and transmission fluids (I don't recall the interval for future changes though, sorry.) Oil is every 3750 miles, Honda recommends.
Have the valve clearances and brake pad thickness checked, as well as all fluid levels. Brake and clutch bleeds are probably good ideas too.

With mostly highway miles, depending on the tire you get you can expect upwards of 15k to 20k miles per set.

Older S2000's aren't known for any particular reliability issues that I know of, beyond driver-induced issues like lake of maintenance, over-revs, etc.
thanks
