818S for sale - Southeast MI - $15,500
Current asking price: $14,500
2016 Factory Five 818S 2.5N/A. Approximately 2,500 miles since being registered in Michigan.
**NOT A TURBO CAR**
Body:
Car was built for autocross and track days and as such I never worried about getting a show quality body fitment or paint job. Deck lids don’t sit perfectly flush and the front still has visible fender seams. It does have a spoiler with integrated third brake light, FFR rocker extensions, and replaceable aluminum rub blocks under the front corners to prevent fiberglass damage when/if bottomed out. All supplied mesh has been black anodized and installed. FFR racing sideview mirrors. Original windshield cracked before being installed so I replaced it with a higher-quality Pilkington piece. Driver’s door rubs slightly.
Chassis:
No major modifications from the FFR design (chassis #399ES.) Riv-nuts were used where panels might want to be removed in the future such as the rear firewall. Currently the lightest street legal 818 on FFR forums at 1793lbs without fuel. FFR powdercoated gloss black.
Suspension:
All components were sandblasted and powdercoated prior to assembly except for the steering rack and knuckles. Poly bushings installed all around. Alignment has been good enough for the last few thousand miles, but could probably use further attention if you really wanted to get the last few tenths out of it on track.
Flat black FFR wheels with Falken Azenis RT615K tires.
Brakes:
Front calipers installed on all corners with bias knob controlling rear line pressure. All components were powdercoated and rebuilt over the winter of ’17-’18. Pedal effort is very low and easy to modulate. ABS sensors are still installed in knuckles but ABS is not wired or plumbed.
Engine:
2003 2.5 RS engine, head gaskets, water pump, oil pump, oil pan, intake/exhaust gaskets, timing belt and pulleys, etc, etc, replaced just after build was completed and bugs shaken out. 220,000 mile rotating assembly is probably the only thing that is still left from the donor. Runs great, pulls hard and doesn’t suffer any of the heat issues or turbo lag of the WRX motors. Still works out to 11.5lbs/hp which is better than a stock WRX and on par with heavier coupe builds.
Occasionally throws a P0420 code for catalytic converter efficiency, so may or may not pass an emissions test.
Transmission:
5MT was replaced with a used duplicate last year. Lightweight flywheel installed with new clutch.
Fuel:
Has 2nd gen FFR tank, but has been foamed and hydromat installed to prevent slosh issues. Vent line has roll-over check valve and charcoal canister attached. Some gas pumps it fills fine, others can click off early. Returns around 32mpg in spirited highway driving.
Safety:
It has a fire extinguisher installed between the seats. Just in case. Low mounted seats keep even my 5’11” helmeted head comfortably below the roll bar.
Electrical:
iWire wiring harness (Build #700.) Push button start and pre-fitted for foglights and cabin power aux power supply. FFR wiper system.
Ergo/Interior:
Kirkey intermediate road race seats with additional lumbar support blocks. Momo steering wheel and collapsible Momo adaptor. Flip-down marine cupholders installed for passenger and driver. Interior is about 70% wrapped with flat black vinyl.
Miscellaneous:
Huge list of spares both from the kit and upgrades included, general Subaru parts negotiable. Build book with receipts, maintenance records, set-up information, and registration information included. FFR assembly manual included. Storage equipment including cover, trickle charger, chassis blocks negotiable.
Car is currently being driven so miles will go up. Located between Lansing and Detroit MI (only a few miles from the FFR build school,) and I plan to make it to a few NWOR and DET SCCA events this summer. Would prefer a local sale and can help deliver within a few hours drive.
Higher res and additional pictures available on request.
Now asking $14,500 OBO for the time being. (6/4/18)

Wow. PM sent and cookie jars being raided.

Now $14,500!
Have a few offers but no cash yet so don't hold out. I'd much rather negotiate on price and have one sale then five offers...

Lowering to $14k even.
After this it's going on BaT.
