Here's some more pics of the catch can fabrication process.

Tomorrow I will weld on some bungs for the other fittings as well as the mounting brackets and then polish it up. Oh yeah, I still need to install a baffle & some sort of stainless, steel wool type of material to help with the separation of the oil from the airflow & the condensation. This is my first catch tank so if anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to let me know. I am still a little unsure on some of the details of how to make this work properly at this point.

Here's a little bit of something else I've been working on. This is the board layout for a circuit I've been designing to integrate the S2000 start push button into the FD so that it is truly a push button start and doesn't require the key. This will allow you to have security so that someone can't just break your window, push the button, and drive away in your car. I have designed it to work in conjunction with a security system that has a starter kill option installed. After disarming the security system and unlocking the doors using your key fob, you will have X amount of time to start the car otherwise it will disable the button. This is the simplest solution I have been able to come up with without it getting too complicated. I may expand on it later and add more features, but for now, I feel this is complex enough for a first attempt. Once I have the bugs worked out, I may look to have the boards professionally etched so that I can sell this as a kit if people are interested.

I just got an email saying I have to go back to work in the next few days, maybe I can get this finalized while I'm out of town.

I was looking at the Advanced Keys system yesterday and would love to go that route. The only problems I have with it is the cost and the size of the key fob for that system. There's another company that makes them called Ididit and their key fob is much smaller, and looks cool, but their system doesn't have as many features and is much more expensive. In the end, I will probably go with the Advanced Keys system but I just can't justify the cost for it right now.
