FFRSpec72 818R Build Seattle WA

[C.Plavan]

With an 818R- you really don't need a donor. I didn't buy one, and I'm doing great. Added bonus is no labor/time to remove parts, no storage of donor. Just buy parts you need off Ebay or internet (Steering rack, knuckle steering column, front and rear knuckles, new wildwood brakes, a rebuilt race motor or an STI JDM motor, Legacy GT 5 speed trans (I have one I may part with), new aluminum LCA's, Adjustable rear lateral links (you only need 2 adjustable really), new radiator/fan kit. and a bunch of metric hardware (a lot fine thread). You will be golden.

I was hoping that was the case, and thus my questions as I need some definitive list of parts that I need to acquire, you have given me a start with the parts you listed here. I think one of the main issues will be the wire harness and management systems, I know there are a few companies that make these but not sure how suited these are to the 818R build, as I need sensors/gauge, lights and engine management

longislandwrx, I sent you a PM with my email address, thanks much !

For the wiring harness, talk to Wayne Presley at VCP. He's marketing a harness paired with an Electromotive ECU that should be just what you're looking for. Links up to an AIM or other racing data acquisition system.
