You will still need a 2002-2007 WRX motor, however there is an adapter for the STi 6spd trans now.

High school kid produced, prototype hardtop on an older cat, but it gives you a rough i dea what it should look like.

Ummmm... I think that blue car is a but ugly. I know I may get flogged for saying it. But it looks too much like a Del Sol

Hopefully the final version of the top will look better, that is a boring looking car.

I don't think they took enough photos of the right side of the car.
Seriously though, hard to tell much from these photos. 4/5 are the exact same angle. The one photo from the front looks really good. I don't think the awful blue color and grand moms wheels are doing it any favors. more pics here http://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showt...een-Grand-Prix!

I've seen Meyers Manx's they all look like kit cars.
Really there isn't much complicated bodywork to copy to replicate a Cobra or a 356 speedster. As I stated earlier this car was put together by high school kids. It's an older body with a prototype hard top. It looks nothing like a Del Slo. |

meh to each their own
A cobra is far from uncomplicated. Curves are not easy to get right. But it is irrelevant. The 818 is Not an attractive car, and I do not see them stealing sales from other kit/track cars. |

Wow! They really sorted out a lot of the ugly, looks pretty amazing. Wonder about space inside for helmeted tall people.
And the FFR thread suggests the STI trans will now fit. Last edited by Snowphun; 06-14-2015 at 10:42 AM. Reason: speeling |

It looked great in person. Big improvement over the convertible. There's a full gallery here:

That looks like the Superlite SLC's ugly cousin.
