Overview
This is a build journal for my Road Racecar build. My goal is to inspire someone who may have so little experience they've never changed their oil, to be someone that can build a competitive race car. Because just a few years ago, that was me! With careful planning, research, and perseverance, you can build anything you set your mind to!

About me
I've been on the forums since about 2006, since then I've had build threads, then we migrated to build blog, and now a build journal. I have collected all of the information from all of those places, and lost photos, and in some places add even more photos, trying to make this the end all place from start to finish for this build. If for no other reason then my own personal reference, from first getting into DSMs, to the learning process for each modification, to racing on the open road course, I will document everything I can as I build this car. As I make track days, I will also update this thread with the information from the track events. There are many other amazing build journals that have inspired me to do new things, but I hope taking lots of those ideas and putting them into one car and documenting it will make this one of the best start to finish build journals on DSMtuners!
