I can bring a porter cable as well if that would help. I only have Meguiars pads - 1 polish, 1 wax.
For you diff and trans fluid people. I have a total of 4 sets (fill and drain) each for the trans and diff. Diff set will be $2 and trans set will be $1 (pretty much what I paid from h-and-a after shipping). Dealership will probably charge you more. The process is pretty straightforward except for my biggest pet peeve about the s2000 - 23mm diff fill bolt (drain bolt is 24mm...really honda? couldn't make them the same size?) but I have a 23mm box wrench (just for that). I also have hand pumps for the trans and the diff fluid. Diff takes 1qt and trans takes 1.5qts, so buy 2 when you're at honda (or 3 and find a friend).
Bring a chair. In fact, just keep one in your trunk at all times.

Glad you mentioned the 23mm/24mm bolt sizes. I might be a little late but can bring my wrenches, etc as well. I can also bring a torque wrench, hand pumps, and service manual if needed.

I've got the 23/24 combo needed for the diff, two transfer pumps, a tq wrench and shop manual. Can some people bring some rags? That's one thing I feel we've overlooked. Oh, and drain pans.

Hahaha. Bring your drinking hat. I plan on just drinking and guiding people with tips and advice. There's nothing on the to-do list that other attendees don't know how to do already
