For 2k I'd look at getting the anti bump steer kit, some good tyres, and a few trackdays.

Or you could pay for my new engine

Please?
you need a new engine Bibbs? i wasn't aware

but depends if you want looks/handling improved.
Or if you actually want something to see for your money.

My reasoning is this. Lots pf people have recently purchased early S2000s. They then spend lots of money bringing them up to 2002 by adding a glass windowed roof, clear indicator lenses and so on.

It might be easier and cheaper just to get a 2002 model in the first place.

Anyway, ignore me, I'm just being a grumpy git today

If you spend it on track days you'll see 50% of the car that you'll never see on the road

My S is totally stock, just the airbox lid removed I am not interested in performance gains, probably looks, so I think a new set of wheels would be good. Especially as the tyres will need changing this year.

I have looked around and I like the Volks Time Attack and the Mugen GP's, what colour would look good on my Silverstone?

Any other suggestions?
Well you will see Silverstone S's with Mugeb GP's in both colour options soon as they have both just been purchased

Thanks for all the positive suggestions , I am surprized nobody has mentioned a geo check, which is also high on my list, as it is a MY99 probably has siezed bushes as well. If I get a geo done with my stock rims will it need to be done again if I fit new 17" alloys? What sort of price for the geo and the bushes any ideas?
