STU C that looks amazing. Just a word of caution. A few years back I had a Celica gt4 turbo with lots of mods, it to had a remote oil filter with very similar oil pipes to your S2000.
They to were, shall I say in avery warm part of the engine bay!!!!!Just like your instillation,I had heat shrouding pipes covering the oil pipes but eventually the heat got the better of the alloy joints, the ensuing failure pumped oil over the hot turbo / manifold.Only black smoke exiting out of the air intake for the intercooler on the bonnet alerted me to the problem!
Luckily it did not catch fire or lose enough oil to seize the engine.
I ended up using steel couplings with braded hoses + heat shrouding over the pipes to solve the problem.
Good luck with the rest of the build

I had some issues with the ally fittings due to heat so changed all mine to steel they don't look as colourfull as the ally ones but sure are 10x better for not working loose and resistance to heat
