Hi Guys, 1st time here. I'm gathering info to build a 818C. I am getting some conflicting info on the donor car. An email from FFR states " you can use the engine and transaxle out of an STI.. but that's it." On this website it says that the trans "cannot be used" from the STI. Then in a different email from FFR I was told that I could use the STI 6 spd. Does it depend on the Year? What am i missing here? The 818 really looks like it meets everything i want in my next build. It's fast, not too much $$$, easy to get parts for and to modify, AND.... there won't be 10 of them lined up next to each other at the local diner cruz in.
If someone could point me in the right direction on the donor it would be much appreciated. I know it's 02-07, I want turbo vs. N.A., and I would like to have the stronger 6spd if possible. I'm looking forward to joining the 818 family!

Thank you
Dan
