Huge congratulations to customer Ron Ewerth of Hiawassee, GA as his highly customized Factory Five 818R was featured in this month’s S3 Magazine, issue 41.

Ron built his 818R using a 2004 Subaru WRX, but upgraded the engine to the Japanese STi 2.0L EJ207. Even though its an R version and Ron uses it for track days, it is registered and street legal.

“Before Factory Five, most of the “replica cars” out there were more-or-less junk. To put it bluntly, Factory Five took the “poser” out of the replica kit car.” – Jonathan Wooley, S3 Magazine Editor
