Just have fun with it, and try not to kill yourself.

you break something, just throw some money at it. if you don't have money to throw at it, just drive normal.

worrying makes you age horribly. it's just a car.

Great advice. Some of these things should be itemized and make it on that list "Everything I learned from sk2i" or something to that effect!

Do NOT do this. If you do you will very likely find yourself pointed the wrong way exiting a curve at some point...probably at a very inconvenient time like when you are headed toward a tree or into oncoming traffic or, if you are lucky, into a nice safe ditch.

Hard tires on the back and soft tires on the front are a recipe for snap oversteer in any rwd car. I'm not sure even the stability control system and the understeer designed into the AP2 suspension setup would save you.

You are absolutely correct, but burning up a set of worn out heat cycled S02's that no longer deliver acceptable grip can actually be a lot of fun ... AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A SAFE PLACE TO DO SUCH THINGS.

Degrading the grip at the back of an S2000 and then driving it on the street strikes me as being a very bad idea.
