Follow us on our road to SEMA 2014 with the AEM 818R #85
Goal:
To build an 818R that is street legal, safe, and competitive for NASA TT road racing and SCCA Solo.
Donor:
There really isn't one for this build. I've been hoarding parts for a while and have just enough laying about to not need to take anything off any one car. The harness and some misc. parts will come from one of the WRXs at Go Green Automotive in Greeley. Front LCA's are 2004 STI, rack is 2006 WRX Wagon (better ratio than 02-05 and theoretically better mounting)

Here's the hand built prototype coolant catch can from CoRaceFab - the goal was to make a direct replacement for the ugly plastic tank that comes with the donors.

Here's the R after suspension, I needed to make it a roller ASAP to get some of my shop back!!! It's headed to Colorado Race Fabrication today to add some bracing and box in some frame members that I'm not happy with:
And here's a test fit of the 18x10.5 wheels with 295 Hoosiers, kinda silly.....
