Default After getting your used S2000

What are are the best practices to do after getting a used S2K. I changed all my major fluids (motor Oil, Diff, Tranny). God knows when the last owner did any of that. This way I start with a clean slate and can keep track.

I plan on flushing the coolant soon. I also wanted to do flush the break and clutch fluids but i think i will wait till i change the break pads on it. that might be a while though

Xviper what are your thots?....Any other important things to do? ...

The above covers it pretty well.
I'll add: cabin filter, silicone grease the rubber seals on the soft top and windshield edge, silicone spray all your rubber boots under the car (CV boots, steering rods boots, ball joint boots at all for corners, treatment for soft top (303), treatment for interior leather, treatment for interior plastics.
