    818C pics and thoughts from 1/29/16 FFR visit.

    I was at FFR on Friday 1/29/16. While I waited on my M4 kit I looked at the 818C in the show room as well as the one from the TV build. They are redoing the TV car for a Snap-On convention later this year. The ECO+BOOST looks awesome in it. The S version will need the rear hump area modified for that engine to fit IMO. I like the Hotrod steering column and aftermarket wire harness. Makes for a neater deal IMO. Doors and windows are very nice IMO. Car is awesome in person. I was a little tight inside vs my 818S. But I am a big guy, LOL. Lots of cool stuff going on there. I always enjoy the visit. Here are a few pics.

    Thanks for the last photo. Really needed that to clarify a few things. It's funny how they went with the nice pretty wiring harness

    I believe the wiring harness, engine and ecu is sold as a package from ford.

    Ford sells the 2.0 ecoboost crate engine with wiring harness, ecu and even the accelerator pedal. Ford does not sell the 2.3 ecoboost crate which is the engine that FFR has mentioned for the 818C.

    Looks like the inter cooler exchanger has been supersized.i wonder if it is sized it is proportional to the ford vehicles using these Eco boost engines?
