Revgasm brought up a very, very important point here.

The Electro-Mechanical PS system in the S2000 seems to be the weakest point as far as building a drift car. From what I've experienced in a few S2000's it just doesn't let you counter-steer like a normal car. I don't have enough experience with the system or chassis to go beyond that, but I know it's a pain in the ass. I've heard of people swapping in FD Rx-7 racks and running an electric PS pump (SW20 MR2) to drift, but I've never seen it in person.

Anyway, are you planning on being at Night Moves at the end of the month? I might be there hanging with some people since my car still isn't done and if I'm there I'd love to check your S2000 out.
