Is anyone planning on coming to TLMC autox this Sunday?

Darcy, Curt, and I were there, that's pretty good. I enjoyed the drive there, grabbed a coffee and got to hang out for a bit.

Question about oil change...
I drained my oil for about 10-15 minutes and changed my filter. After that I poured 5 liters of new oil.. I forgot to pace my self and check the dipstick. It's showing full now but I'm paranoid if it's overfilled. I know 5.1 qt is recommended but I put about 5.3. Any risk overfill? Should I drain out a bit?

My car takes 6 quarts... And it's already reading full because you haven't run the engine so the oil filter is empty. Once you run the engine and the oil filter has oil in it you'll need to add more

5 litres will never overfill the sump, unless you didn't drain out all of the old oil. You should be safe as S2jizzer noted.

From what I am reading, draining the car with a forward tilt will drain an extra quart almost of oil?!

Has someone tested that on an S2000 ?. The oil pan on an s2000 is sloped internally from rear to front on the rear 1/3rd of the pan, so that should naturally push oil forwards. In terms of the upper head the main drain holes are towards the rear if I recall, so tilting it rearward may get more oil to the pan. I've tried putting the driver side slightly higher in the past, but that didn't do very much, maybe a few drops more.

Lifting the drivers helps alot, atleast speed up the process.

in my garage parked forward (on a slight slope), drain the oil. drop the passenger side and wait until it stops dripping. jack up the drivers side and watch a bunch more drain.
