Hello everyone, my name is Reiss and I am a die hard subie fanatic. I replaced or repaired everything in a Subaru and I was just about to venture into making a high horse power motor when I got shyed away by the cost and reliability. I've made my mark in the San Diego Subaru community (offering all my help/labor for free) and really didn't want to give up on subies, but then I stumbled upon the FFR 818.
Honestly, it almost seems too easy on paper, but I know that won't be the case once I actually buy, receive, and start to build my kit. I need to finish or sell off the projects I currently have in order to build the funds and free up room in the NFG Garage. The goal is to have the car completed and have the paperwork done with CA reg and VIN by 1/2/17.
So, I will be super active around here looking at everyone's builds, mostly with the 818 but I do get inspiration when looking at others craftsmanship.
Oh, and the biggest thing with my build is that I want it to be a true $15k (not to exceed $15k) sports car. I'm close with a Subaru specific junk yard, aka Heaven on Earth, that's only 30 mins from my house, so I should be able to get better deals on most donor parts than others would.
See ya around!
