\n\t\tFAQs\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

Here are a few questions we get every day here at Factory Five:<\/p>\n

What donor cars are compatible with the 818?<\/h5>\n

The 818 is compatible with a 2002-2007 Subaru Impreza or WRX wagon or sedan.\u00a0 All other vehicles and engine types are untested\/not supported by Factory 5.<\/p>\n

Can I use a 02-07 Subaru STI as a donor car?<\/h5>\n

Parts from a STI like the Engine and 6 Speed Transaxle can be used in a 818 kit. However, components like the Wiring Harness, Brakes, Hubs, Axles, etc. differ too much from a regular Impreza or WRX to allow the STI to be a single donor car for the 818. In short, the STI is not a supported donor car for the 818.<\/p>\n

Will the 818C hardtop fit a 818R chassis?<\/h5>\n

No, the 818C hardtop will only fit the 818S and 818C chassis<\/p>\n

Will the 2.3 Ford Ecoboost work in an 818 kit?<\/h5>\n

Currently, the 818 will only accept engines from a 02-07 Impreza or WRX directly. Factory 5 is considering the 2.3 Ford Ecoboost as an alternative engine to the Subaru unit; however there is no further information or timeline available at this time.<\/p>\n

Are current 818 options\/parts able to fit older 818 chassis?<\/h5>\n

Yes, most current 818 options will fit the older 818 chassis.<\/p>\n

What is the difference between the 818 S, R, and C?<\/h5>\n

The 818 S is our open cockpit street model, The 818 R is our dedicated Track\/Race version, and the 818 C is our hardtop street model.<\/p>\n
