Wow, nice low miles. I think you may have found a nice diamond in the rough. I hope you made a great deal on it! Good for you! Have you made a deposit on the 818 yet?

Regards,

Steve

Yes still waiting for the money to be withdrawn from my account - but yes i did..

Im excited - not sure i can wait 9 months maybe more.... i need to go back and clarify what all parts i need before i send this to crusher after removal of stuff..

Its my mid-life crisis - i am 38 - hope to have it going and driving by 40... Sold my old 911 2 years ago and my children want another " Billy Bob " as they called it... they will like this better i think.

big old roadtrip @ the end! I've been working with MSI might do most of chassis new aftermarket! Need to find donor mainly for title.

Sweet!!!

[Turboguy]

um.

I thought only Impreza's could be single vehicle donors.

Forester XT is more or less a WRX.

Congrats! The donor car possibilities seem to be opening up, the Impreza / WRX 2002 -2007 are pricey for a running donor

[Kwizatz-haderah]

Congrats!

sealed the deal this morning - paid for it and will pick it up tomorrow - kinda worried it been sitting outside with the intercooler uncovered for a year - so i need to go through the motor more than likely. the dash is already removed - that wiring looks like a rats nest - that is why the guy never finished the car - he couldnt get the wiring back together right for all those dash under dash modules..

car has 26k - little tiny turbo... is the instrument the same as the WRX ? So it will fit into the 818 dash?

Guy cant find the instrument cluster - do they have an imobilizer in them?

Also - do i need factory radiator? or is there a better option? I want to hear this thing run so i was gonna buy a radiator.
