Actually on most cars you do both. Most people don't realize that a lot of the smoke on a stock car is not the tires, but the clutch. The they try to drive off. Oops. Still no clutch should get that wasted that quick. I've never heard of the clutch adjuster thing, but my experience with that car is minimal.

A couple of things to consider with this car are these: The S2000 was really well built from Honda. Like the EVO and the NSX, there are many parts, but most of them will actually slow you down instead of making you fast. The intake for example is actually quite free-flowing and only one or two intakes on the market have any gains. Cams almost never have any gain (except near redline), and and the head can't be ported without a loss of some kind. Be very careful about what you upgrade and only use the best parts. Also, look out for bad valve retainers. The stock one suck and will wear out very fast (in some cases as fast as your tires). Get them replaced ASAP before they let loose a spring. Also, look out for the bumpsteer out back. Get a bumpsteer kit for the car soon too.
