Carry needed tools. Read this link. https://www.s2ki.com/home/2010/08/17...in-your-s2000/
I was on an S2000 group drive recently. One member had a right rear deflation (Brand new tire). There was a lot of help with multiple jacks, people, etc. Owners spare tire was flat. I had a 12VDC air compressor. Outside temp was 110 degrees. Wheels were freaking hot! I provided work gloves. Needed to remove a "harmonic balancer?" from rear hub. Anybody have any tools. You bet.
I pretty much carry everything from the link above including black gorilla tape and extra long tywraps. (Good for fastening rear bumper on NC mountains back road.)
Have a great trip!

Safe to report a successful road trip. Replaced everything but the clutch because of work, no time.. No issues. Did it with easy. Only problems were a broken front bumper lip and exhaust getting caught on a drive thru car wash ripping the transmission mounts out and tilting my transmission to the left. Luckily down the road a shop removed the exhaust, repositioned the trans and I got new mounts. $240 out of pocket cost. Where it would've cost me $80 to do it myself.
