Default Basic How To Build an S2000 Racecar

I've done a basic how-to about building an S2000 racecar based on my experience over the last few months. It's designed to give a big picture look at what's involved in getting an SCCA and/or NASA vehicle logbook. I'm always open to corrections and additions.

nice write up. one minor thing (at least out here) you don't have to have the fuel sample hose under the hood. They'll just about always allow you to go retrieve it post race if they want a sample. They'll just require that the car stay in impound.

not that it hurts either to have it there, just sayin

I have used your site as a reference. Very nice job. I did notice that you took off your DIY Catch Can. I did build one, and have not driven my car since I installed. Did you drill out the valve that screws into the valve cover? Do you still use this Catch Can or have you moved on?
