Default Shopping spree...

I'm going back home in a couple of months and I started stocking up on wearable items that I might need for the next couple of years. I come by at least twice a year to the states but decided to stock up to save some shipping cost and import tax.

Here a list of things I got and planning to get.

Bought :

1. standard stuff : Oil filter (a lot), Intake filter(2), Aircon filter(2), wiper blades, Oil and differential washers, front brake pads(2), rear break pad(2), touch up paint, extra antenna and wheel hub caps, Redline diff and tranny oil

2. Hardtop (not a "wearable item" per se ..but I've convinced my wife that the top was wearable... )

3. one from set tires, three sets rear tires (OEM)

To Buy:

1. One set spark plugs

2. fan belt

3. Map sensor

4. Fuel filter(2)

5. Clutch disk+flywheel+pressure plate+pilot and release bearing

6. Break and signa light bulbs

Considering to BUY

1. Ignition coils (4) : These things are expensive (59.26 each?)

2. Windshield at $277

Any suggestions on other stuff I should be considering?

Yes, I know I'm kinda overdoing it but shipping is cheap and I feel better with all these S2000 stuff lying around in my house


Any suggestions on other stuff I should be considering?

Have you considered buying only what you need now and putting the remaining money in some investments so that when you actually need those things, your ROI alone will cover shipping and perhaps even more.

at the rate you are going, maybe just a spare S2000? dont even need to pakage that you know?

Actually, the list looks pretty complete. I suppose you can always ask your friends in the states to ship later as you need stuff and save on the cash now...
