I ordered my 818 kit 1/24/13 and picked up my kit # 172, at the factory 4/16/14. I have already striped my donor, a 2006 WRX with 27,7xx miles. I oped for a low mile car so as not to have to mess with the engine much.
My build is a S and will follow the manuel fairly closely. I am getting VCP wiring solution, K tuned shifter, Killer B Oil pick up, and finally a perin turbo inlet.
Seats, wheels and tires will come later.

During the past few weeks I have been finishing up painting the unfinished factory parts. The rain slowed us down. My friend Tom Kaufman is helping me
with various parts of the build. He is a race car builder, and very talented at all aspects of the build. He came with me to pickup the kit and really enjoyed the factory tour.
Starting the front firewall tomorrow 5/2. I can't wait.Every day I read the forum for tips and progress of others. I will try to post my progress every few day's, as long as there is some notable progress. Roger
