    I frequently troll this forum but I haven't ever posted. I took delivery of an 818c exactly a month ago, and I figured I would make a post. Happy to be building one.

    If you've been watching this forum you know that we are welcoming and friendly so don't let GoDad's comment dissuade you from posting. I agree with Wallace that it looks like you are making good progress. What are your plans? Street only or some tracking? Engine? Any "extras" planned so far?
    Have fun!

    Plans are for having it as an HPDE car for my family members and myself. I will register it and take it out on the occasional night. I'm lucky enough to work at a body shop so I think I will be able to make it look pretty, if not I'll just sticker bomb it. I really want to run numbers, but I don't want to look like a dork.

    started with an 03 wagon
    it will run a stage 2 tune
    tvg delete

    06 control arms

    06 4pot calipers at all the corners
    sti rear rotors (premature apex helped with this setup)
    goodridge lines
    235 front/255 rear 200btw tires
    bump steer kit


    no idea about seats yet
    I wish I was further along, but my 3 year old doesn't like being in the garage.
