Indy
No contest

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

I'd buy a fully built kit car now.
The IVA is going to push second hand prices up (IMHO).
The thought of summer coming is going to push second hand prices up (IMHO).
Even if you work 7 days a week on it, and all the parts arrive, and you can get the paperwork sorted, I'd be really surprised if you could get
to SVA from a standing start in the time you have left.
The Imprezza will be one of a few hundred thousand examples. There will always be another out there for sale!
Is this your only car?

well to be honest you only have 6.5 weeks to apply for an sva. If you have to wait at least 3 weeks for a kit, do you think you could get it done in
time? By the way IVA is likely to cost £540! (source: the latest issue of Complete Kit Car)
Or you could get the impreza, fulfil your boyhood fantasy, get it out of your system and build a kit at your leisure.
Had enough of this dictatorship known as LCB. Gone elsewhere, not coming back. Kiss my ass ChrisW.

£540 for IVA  How can they justify that? Is the process of approval more involved than SVA?
Phil
Oh, and build the Indy.......

The Indy with out a doubt,Ive had a selection of Jap performance cars over the years,some of them rare models,and some with over 400bhp,spent a
fortune,making them go faster,and insuring them,and maintaining them,but none of them one anywhere near as rewarding to drive as my Indys,or as
quick.
There's also the pride you will feel in building your own car,it may appear a bit daunting having it all to do,and you will have to wait a few
months while you build it, before you can drive,but the better weather,lighter nights will soon be here,you will be able to get cracking with the
build,and have it on the road in no time

£540 my sva was 1 1/2 hours and was £190 maybe the iva will be an all day thing for that price
i say buy the scooby, get bored with its tortoise like performance then build an MK or MNR

What about the BIVA, which presumably most kits will be eligible for?

well this is a kit car forum so what answer did you expect?
I will give a different perspective.
Go take a look at this wrx or wahtever and tkae it for a spin.
Then think hard as to if it is really what you want. Ultimately it is a breathed-on tin top with a extra wolfs and whistles.
You have driven the MK, which is as raw driving as it can get.
Both of those features are good depending on what it is you want and it is really only you that can decide.....
