After reading many build threads, I see some people using parts that I am unsure if they got it from the donor, FFR, or aftermarket and I am unsure if they are required or not.
Here's the list of what FFR says we need from the donor:
• Front spindles with full brakes and front lower control arms
• Rear spindles with brakes and e-brake handle/cables
• Steering rack, tie rod ends, and upper steering column assembly
• Pedal box and throttle pedal
• Master cylinder and brake booster, and clutch master cylinder
• Engine with turbo and intercooler (if WRX model)
• Exhaust manifolds, O2 sensors, and down tube
• Transmission
• Rear lower control arms, toe links, and CV joints
• Front seats, front seat belts, and gauge pod
• Fuel pump
• Radiator
• Wheels and tires
• Door hinges, rear w/ latches,strikers, and inside door handles (hey that just changed, it was written "front" a few days ago :))
• Side view mirrors, left and right
• Rear view mirror
• Rear seat belts
What else do we need from the donor for a base 818 (no ABS, no HVAC, etc.)? Brackets, bolts, nuts, radiator fans, sway bars, fuse box, relays, wires, etc.?
Now obviously the list of parts may differ depending on what we are doing. For example if one installs ABS, he may need the ABS sensors and hub wheel and maybe some other stuff. I'd appreciate to have all that listed too. I want to make sure I plan my build properly before I go through the no-return moment. And I am sure others want that too. :)
