Salt Lake City, UT 818 Build

[Ellimist]

I think I'm the first 818S builder in Salt Lake City, UT? If so, cool! I'm new to car projects so this will definitely be a learning experience. Here's my current plan:

Kit Ordering/Shipping:
- Ordered 12/16/2013
- Available @ Factory Five Racing 12/20/2014
- Picked up by Stewart Transport 1/14/2015
- Delivered by Stewart Transport 2/7/2015

Donor:
2006 WRX Limited Wagon
Here's a link to my donor breakdown thread: http://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showt...275#post188275

Build Plan (Current....who knows where it'll really go!):
- 818 Street Version (though I'm definitely interested in a possible "SR" build eventually, adding the R front splitter & rear spoiler in the future)
- "Stock" build for the most part - I'm planning on minimizing performance mods (bigger turbo, bigger wheels, etc.) at this time, unless otherwise stated below.
- FFR Powder Coated Frame
- FFR 818 Wiper Kit (we'll see....got it, but will likely drive the finished car for a bit before installing)
- FFR 818 Aluminum shifter
- 818 Matt Gunmetal Wheels (17"x7.5" front & 18"x8.5" rear): http://www.factoryfiveparts.com/fact...8-wheels-gray/
- Tire sizes recommended for the 818 wheels (215/40R17 front & 255/35R18 rear) - currently looking at the Dunlop Direzza ZII Star Spec
- FFR 818 soft top & sides (for the future!)
- FFR 818C hardtop (for the future!)
- Seats: I like the idea of using the leather seats from the donor, but I also like the idea of Sparco Corsa or EVO seats....we'll see!
- AWIC in place of the TMIC - likely from Very Cool Parts or Zero Decibel Motorsports rather than parting it together myself
- Zero Decibel Motorsports Front Hood Louvers
- Zero Decibel Motorsports ABS Delete Plates (with delrin)
- Zero Decibel Motorsports Coolant Tank Relocation Kit
- Zero Decibel Motorsports Radiator Supports
- Zero Decibel Motorsports Rear Fender Brace
- Zero Decibel Motorsports Turbo Heat Shield

Budget:
Currently in the ~$32k range, assuming I don't make anything from parting out the donor, including future things like the 818 soft top.

....and so the journey begins!
