Front end styling still looks awkward to me, but you can't argue with the fun-per-dollar value in what they've built. I hope you guys will post journals of the build. Looks like a blast!

The power to weight ratio is ridiculous tht thing must be fast as hell

Supermassive · 12-29-2012, 03:52 PM

Do Want! Perfect track car, cheap, easy to source parts, and looks like it will handle like a dream...might have to see about getting one this year!

Supermassive · 12-29-2012, 06:57 PM

So I obviously don't know jack shit about the EJ20...so maybe if someone can help me out here, does the EJ25 use the same motor mounts as the EJ20? I only ask because the Factory 5 site says the car can use 02-07 Iprezza or WRX as donor cars but theres so many damn engine variations available it's kinda confusing.

OrbitalEllipses · 12-29-2012, 07:28 PM

Yes. Same mounts on all EJ series engines. One of these with a JDM 207 (pref V7) would be stupid. My problem with the title is that you're comparing a kit car to a fully furnished car. If you're shopping for toys I guess the comparison is valid.

Supermassive · 12-29-2012, 09:16 PM

Yeah this is totally a toy, but man it just makes me excited because I really want to build a car up like this...the price is what makes this so exciting. Of course there would be a ton of extra little things that will cost more then just the kit and donor car like sandblasting/acid dipping parts from the donor car for paint/powdercoat/anodizing prep. Now I'm torn between the track kit or the road kit...I'm assuming they are completely the same except for the roll bar...gonna have to have a chat with F5 and see whats up!

It has the 'kit car content' disclaimer for people with problems. For those who have a daily this provides an enticing alternative. With a JDM alternative motor would be even more of a hoot to drive.

I've been following this for a long time. It'd be a great toy without sinking 30k and up like you do with their other cars. There were so many good community designs too. I can't really figure out why they thought this looked the best. Still really want a GTM, but would settle for this.

dori. · 12-30-2012, 02:23 AM

looks like a Viper and S2000 had a baby and the was consequently hit with a hammer

prolly a beast to drive tho

Supermassive · 12-30-2012, 02:41 AM

Only $99 for a spot on the list...should I do it? Sigh cars are my kryptonite.

bakerr6 · 12-30-2012, 10:47 AM

I'll pass just based on the looks. They have so many other kits that look so much better, I just do not understand...

I wouldn't mind ahving any of their other kit cars though haha

finch1750 · 12-30-2012, 01:35 PM

Thank you for showing me my next car. Holy crap...

SUB-FT86 · 12-31-2012, 07:51 PM

So what does the 10k get you? I'm guessing it's not the whole car with engine/tranny right?

Supermassive · 12-31-2012, 08:26 PM

There's a list of everything you get for the $10k kit here:

And here's what you need from the donor car:
