Great color Wayne! Are you doing some accent colors, or staying solid? Or, would you rather not say...?
It's been great following your build, as well as the GRM build!
Regards,
Steve
It will have accent colors, just what they are will depend on the test panels...

That's going to look awesome with the black tubing, black wheels, and black rubber all stuck to the quarters.
A well stocked beverage fridge is the key to any successful project.
Daymn! What a deep, rich color tone. So are you guys going to make us wait until SEMA for the full view.

Hi Wayne,
You must be getting you body painted off the frame. Is that normal? Is it better to do it that way?

Ha! The WG to the atmosphere.

I need to come by the shop and see this thing again.
2003 WRX - Daily Driver/Rallycross Beater
1998 M3 - Track Toy
Still trying to find a FFR car I fit in
Nice work, nice external waste gate dump, looks sinister, just how I like it.
Amazing work! Dyno it yet?
Come on by, I sent you a text yesterday about your donor.
Thanks
Not yet, still have to do the oil feed and return lines, wire in the Electromotive TEC-GT and fill it with coolant. I'll post video when it happens, but the Wookie can't watch

Wayne "Oh you've got a good idea of what you want to do with your kit?...have you considered this?" Presley
Looks awesome! I liked the orange, and thought "Neat, not my style...but very cool" w/ the grey and blue it's perfect.
Can't wait to see/hear the final product.
You should stop now....
because I don't have painting the car in my budget.

That is going to be stunning. I can't wait to see it all together. Amazing!!!!!!!!
Wayne,
That looks awesome. Even better than I imagined from your description on the phone. Can't wait to see it all together.

Wow, that looks incredible. Good job Wayne!
Was talking to Wayne this morning and he said that the website was a few days away from being updated, considering that his plate is pretty full right now it could be a bit longer, apparently there will be a section on just 818 parts that VCP's offers so I'm lookin forward to that.
What's the weight difference between the 2 engines, I don't know Subaru engine codes so I'm talkin about the 2.5 turbo compared to the turbo 6. What year was the donor car? Stock hp difference between the 2 engines? Do you expect to have to make changes to springs or set-up on the car (818S) to deal with the extra weight? What's everyone's opinion - is the 6 going to be the engine of choice, anyone else planning this?
I'm going to do mine with the 2.5 and as close to donor car as possible but that shifter is a must have & that IC looks sharp. I think I read that wind tunnel testing was done on the body is this the reason you went with an air to water IC as opposed to an air to air IC, is there a dead air flow space where the stock IC would mount is what I'm asking. Would a larger air to air IC have any effect in the stock location? Reason I ask is that it looks like the stock IC location might be out of the air flow for max cooling and if this entered in your choice to go to the air to water cooler? I have a turbo 911, the 930 and it's a popular upgrade to go to a very expensive larger IC but it's in the whale tail and gets lots of air, the poor man's upgrade is to stack 2 stock coolers and I wondered if this was an option with the 818 or would dead air flow negate the benefits of a bigger cooler?
I'm kinda glad (not really) I'm going to have to wait a bit, seems with everyone of these first build threads you see different idea's, products, and new after market stuff, plus the new top looks great, hope there's a hard top version when my kit gets built.
Wayne your car looks absolutely down town, can't wait to see it together.
Finn
Wow. That's a lot of questions!
What's the weight difference between the 2 engines?
I can't recall exactly, but it isn't very much. Certainly not enough to worry about.
Do you expect to have to make changes to springs or set-up on the car (818S) to deal with the extra weight?
Since the weight is very close to the same, I doubt it, but Wayne can weigh in!
What year was the donor car? Stock hp difference between the 2 engines?
This will get your Subaru engine education off to a good start: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Subaru_engines
One thing to keep in mind when comparing HP numbers is that the 6-cyl engines were N/A from the factory. Wayne is adding a turbo, so his will put out more HP than stock. The exact engine he has is an EZ30. What's important to note about the EZ engines in that they share the same exterior dimensions and engine mount points with the EJ series (which are used in the Impreza/WRX/STi). They also share the same transmission bolt pattern.
As far as the inter-cooler goes, I think there will be ways to make the stock unit effective where it sits. Air-to-water has some advantages, but comes with some drawbacks as well (weight, plumbing, space).
The weights are in this or the 6 cylinder thread and not less than 15lbs vs the turbo 2.0 so no spring changes. I was really surprised at the weight of the stock flywheel/disc/pressure plate at 35 lbs...
