I bought my 818C from MonzaMan last week, so I figured I should start documenting my progress here. I’ve already used the forum for help, so hopefully I can post a few things that help a done others.

Backstory: I preordered one of the original 818S kits 10 years ago, and bought a naturally aspirated 2.5l Impreza as a donor. I stripped the donor, then the delivery to Canada was delayed and I decided to move onto another project.

Fast forward: I was looking for a fun toy and thought I would check out the factory five website and saw MonzaMan’s 818C for $15k (11.5k USD), it was also the colour of the ‘73 Dodge Challenger I owned in High School (Sublime Green) so I couldn’t turn it down!

I’m still trying to figure out exactly what I’ve got for engine, transmission, wiring, brakes, A/C, etc. The plan is to finish the interior so I can drive it, then go back and improve a few things.
