where are you in the uk, it might be worth you meeting up with some local builders to chat to face to face and be shown what to do and look out
for.
oh and come here every day and read read and read

What you have to consider though is that every time you want to take it out it will cost you £150ish for a track day and if it aint running right then
youve just wasted it.
At least with it road legal you can make sure everything is correct before the big day. And you can enjoy it for the cost of just the fuel on the road
in between the track days.
The extra cost of SVA and the parts required is minimal and the resale value will be higher with a road legal car.

Have you got the new book? All the SVA info is in there. Keep the car simple and go by what's in the book for the test and you will find it easy
to pass.

With a Locost it is not that difficult to get through SVA - the cars are pretty simple, the regulations are not that hard to address and 1000s of us
have been through it before.
You should find help on here about any questions you might have.

piece of cake, no serioulsy it should be.
there are a lot of parts out there that are made with SVA in mind.
my case was harder than most on here since it was a plan built car started, from memory, about 8 yrs ago, before the current SVSA regs came into
place. I had to redo some stuff so had the parts been newer, I wouldn't have had to do.
