    818R Chassis #44- "The Real 818R Test Mule"

    ***New racecar on the way*** I do not need three racecars- Make reasonable offer, PM to discuss.

    818R Chassis #44. You know the car. The first non Factory 818R raced on the West Coast. Comes with NASA log book and 2015 annual tech. Non donor build, 95% all new parts.
    2.5L AJW built block (Forged pistons- 2013 STI block with 2006 wiring harness etc.)
    5 speed Legacy GT transmission (thicker gears than WRX) with Modena TBD LSD (top of the line) and another spare Legacy GT transmission.
    Blouch DOM 1.5 XTR turbo (DE-Tuned for 283HP on 91 pump gas for ST2 class HP/WT limit) Can easily tune to 400HP+ safely.
    Injector Dynamics 1000cc injectors
    Tial EWG setup with custom exhaust and dump tube (dumps into exhaust)
    Wayne's AWIC complete kit
    iWire's complete wiring harness setup with push button start
    Element Tuning's Complete Dry Sump kit with all -12AN fittings and SS braided lines
    Setrab oil coolers
    Mishimoto Aluminum Radiator
    Aluminum coolant pipes (not the crappy stock ones)
    Red Wilwood brakes front and rear with dash mounted bias control
    Racetech halo seat
    Complete in car SFI/FIA fire system plumbed to driver,fuel cell and motor)
    Additional hand held fire extinguisher mounted under seat.
    Fuel Safe 17 gallon Pro fuel cell (Aluminum upgrade, one way fuel box inside (no fuel starving in corners), In-tank fuel High performance pump, fuel level sender) with custom aluminum enclosure in passenger seat area (Much safer location, and better weight balance)
    2 sets of Team Dynamics race wheels 17x8 front and 17x9 rear.
    Front carbon fiber splitter with struts
    Carbon fiber front dive planes
    Rear Carbon fiber diffuser
    GTM-300 APR wing with Gurney flap
    Upgraded springs front and rear (way better than stock)
    Cobb EBCS
    K-tuned shifter
    Schroth 6 point belts (new)
    Custom rear wing mount/bumper
    Custom drivers side intrusion plate for safety
    All of Mechies bits and vents
    Alot of custom parts. I built the car for safety in mind.

    Car is ready to go. It is faster than Lotus 2- Elevens (with the 283hp tune @ ~2266 pounds including driver- with ballast)

    $25k/Offer PM me to discuss.

    Please keep in mind I'm still messing with it. It's not a garage queen. The price may go up after a few weeks once I dial it more in (new 10cm oil pump going in to cure oil heating problem). I'm not in a hurry to sell, but I have my eye on another project.

    So when you sell this and get your new project, how will you feel if someone else's gets the gremlins out and beats you with your 818?

    I am just messing with you, I get the money pit thing. It surely cost more than 15k as advertised.

    Sorry to see you sell it. Someone is going to get a great car IMO. You have poured yourself into it and the hard work shows. Best of luck in whatever is next. It has been fun following your posts.

    That is a great deal. I probably have that much in mine and it hasn't gone an inch under its own power, Good luck with new stuff.

    They are the stock R dampers. I just tweaked the rebound for the upgraded springs.

    Most of the other vents are from Craig (Mechie) on the forums here

    Only a 1:28. This was with an 85% working car. It was overboosting and cutting throttle about 4 times a lap. I had to lift on the straights! I have not been back since I fixed that. I'm guessing an easy ~1:25 or so with the 280HP tune. With the 400hp tune- Probably knock another 2 or 3 seconds off.

    BTW- I think this thing is 100% now. I just need to test it on some Friday. If it's fully fixed, price is going up .

    New racecar on the way, and I do not need three. Make me an offer, PM- and discuss. Added to other racing classifieds, but would love to see it go to someone here.
