List of possible Donor cars? Can 02-07 Imprezas be used?

Do you mean the anti-theft system?

I ended up buying all the suspension components for an 07 new from Rock Auto and Amazon and a few used parts from eBay. I had a kit on order that would have supplied all the remaining parts (brakes, etc), but then I found a deal on a 1/2 built 818 that I'll be getting shortly (current world situation allowing).

So now I have a basement full of new components I probably won't be using, and a car incoming with an engine and a bunch of other stuff I don't need.

@jbs72697, welcome to the group, where are you located?

Yes, on the 2006 and newer cars, if the immobilizer isn't happy, the ECU won't fire the fuel injectors. Makes it really hard to crank the car.

Hi. Thanks for the welcome. Happy to be part of it
C11k, I’m in Braintree. I’m a long way off from building an 818, but if you’re not going to use some parts I may think about grabbing some if you’d like to be rid of anything, providing my wallet agrees

Quick question. I’m selling a mazda3 to a friend of a friend who’s ‘09 Forester is having problems (engine, brakes). By any chance would his Forester be of any use as a donor, even if partial?
If so I thought I could put it on here for him. Might help to pay for him to buy my Mazda
