JIS screws
I learned today that all the screws on this car are JIS screws, and not Phillip's head screws, using a Phillip's head screwdriver is wrong/not ideal, you need to use a JIS screwdriver. This will prevent the screwdriver from camming out of the slot.

Are there very many JIS screws on the S2000 that would typically require high torque? The only ones I can think of off the top of my head would be the brake rotor screws.
You definitely have me looking for a set though, because JIS works in Phillips as well, and the screws don't fall off the tip of the driver. Probably this set:

That goes with most modern japanese cars. You will find a good JIS screwdriver even tends to work better in regular phillips screws. The one below is very nice, and even though you cannot tell it from holding it, it also works as an impact screwdriver. I have one and use the hell out of it. Actually have not tried using it as an impact screwdriver yet as I have other better ones for that. But it is a great tool and holds in the screws a lot better.

For rotor screws I use one of these as they work better and have larger tips that come with them.
Well worth having one of those around. I have actually never had issues with the rotor screws in my s2k (and a couple of years ago went Karcepts hubs so do not have the screws in now) but have on other cars and that tool takes them right out every time for me.

There's actually a video on youtube of a guy who uses both a hammer impact Phillips and a hammer impact JIS on stuck Honda rotor screws, and the Phillips got it off but chewed up the screw:
That said, if yours have already been off, and you use anti-seize, you'd probably never have a problem using Phillips. However Vessel does make a JIS hammer impact driver and it's pretty affordable:

Simple solution for down the road: don't use the rotor screws. They really serve no purpose other than to keep the rotor from falling off on the assembly line.
As for JIS "+" drivers, It's all about the fit, baby.

This tool is magnificent for rotor screws.
I've known this JIS thing for years. Maybe I never mentioned it.
All the bolts on the car are JIS small wrench 10.9. So the screws being JIS makes complete sense.
