If you are considering an 818 build let me know what price range you are looking at we can discuss the details. This kit already has a lot of the work complete and has all the best parts available.
If you are not interested in all the parts, let me know what kind of build you are planning and we can work through the details. I am willing to pull parts off and sell them separately in order to reduce the price.
My life has moved on and this toy no longer fits into my life like I had planned. My plan for the build was to tune for 350-400hp at the wheels, and to build with effectively new/best parts I could find at the time, hence the parts and upgrades selected.
Details:
Early Model 818S Kit - first nose style, white gel coat
Kit has been built up to go-kart stage but not yet run, it just needs fluids, installation of the VCP Ktuned shifter cables and a tune in order to run. I had been slowly building this to be my forever fun car and sourced and built with new upgraded parts accordingly, pinching pennies was not my goal with this build...
Everything is there to complete the build except for a new windshield glass that would need to be sourced (I broke this during storage...)
Engine Details:
- Brand new 2.5L STI short block
- Mahle Drop-in Forged pistons installed
- ARP head studs
- Blouch 1.5 Dominator Turbo installed with heat blanket and large 3in inlet to reduce an increased lag
- VCP air to water intercooler installed
- 850cc injectors installed
- Large 3in air intake
- phenolic TGV deletes and spacers
- boost control hardware mounted but lines not yet installed
- Perrin Oil Air separator
- Killer Bee Oil pan and upgraded oil pick-up installed
There's more that I'm forgetting as well...
Transmission:
- Transmission was built by and Andrewtech with Helical PPG racing gears. These are Dog engagement for clutchless upshifts (no synchros).
- Quaife limited slip differential was also professionally installed
- VCP K-Tuned shifter and linkage
- Upgraded clutch to withstand 400-450whp
Other goodies and upgrades:
- new bearings and seals everywhere
- FFR carbon front splitter
- FFR carbon side skirts
- almost all of Mechie3's after market upgrades included (harness bar, hood/truck hinges, grills, louver vents, and more) from zerodeciblemotorsports.com
- fully custom larger aluminum fuel tank with baffles and fully integrated 1gal surge tank to eliminate sloshing concerns, professionally welded by Boyd welding.
- FFR trunk kit included
- I-wire wiring harness
- I can include lightweight neodymium speakers (array of tweeters and woofers) for a stereo but no speaker enclosures included
- 2x extra dashes for fit-up for to save for future wear and tear
- Carbon fiber side view mirrors (APR Performance Formula GT3 Mirrors)
- Toyo 888 tires all around (about 4 years old by now). WIDE 275 at the rear and 235 at the front. These are the widest that can fit under the body when placed perfectly with with VCP rear tailing arms
- Willwood brake upgrades
- Hard coolant side lines to replace the FFR corrugated tube.
- VCP rear trailing arms to fit the wider tires
- all aluminum panels have been sprayed/coated with 3M rubberized sound dampening spray to avoid rattles (light weight solution)_
- NGR steering wheel
- Corbeau seats with sliders/adjustors I was planning to weld onto the frame for adjustable leg room.
- 5 Point racing harnesses and the mounts for which have already been welded onto the frame in their appropriate locations
- Single larger/centered aftermarket windshield wiper upgrade/kit that does not require cutting of the hood like FFR's solution does
- EEProm on the instrument cluster has even been replaced so that the mileage will read out starting from 0!
There's more that I'm forgetting here as well...
I have also saved the paperwork and significant receipts for the major parts (engine, trans, major components and etc). Will hand off everything I have.
