Make sure to keep good rubber on the wheels and always remember the sage advice of Jackie Stewart, ""Don't get on the gas ... until you don't have to get off it".

Most of the S2ks that buy the farm lately seem to be due to the snap oversteer. It is most often from losing traction in the rear, especially during acceleration or deceleration. Many new S2000 drivers don't know that slowing down too aggressively or too late can unsettle the car. Just listen to what the car is telling you and you'll be fine.

 

Thanks for all the feedback guys, It's all been really helpful.
I'm certainly going to consider a track day as soon as I make my purchase and I'll more than likely get new tires and do the suspension as soon as I get the car.
