Any you guys with HEAVY mods to your cars ever keep an 'engineering file with tech notes, schematics, drawings of various parts you modded or built, any other information about changes and reasons for them...??

I try to, it's pretty up to date, just wondering how thick the other piles are, mine is about 2" thick....anyone else??

I keep most of it in Excel spreadsheets & .jpg's. Tend to lose the hard copies.

I go into a project trying to learn everything I can about that modification. I usually post it here and then forget about it. Most notes are in my head, not a good place.
NO I don't keep records of the stuff I have done.
