Anything like a caterham seven available in the states?

Talked about it today with my grandpa, and he'll have an emtpy heated, well lighted garage over at one of his hotels during the winter, and he's planning on getting an impact wrench as well as the other tools, so it looks like we have a place to put this together. Strangly enough, he expressed interest in the impreza becuase hes a really nice guy and only wants to build a car i would be interested in. Also he said he felt it would be safer to have a roof+rollcage over your head in the impreza. Won't start until mid december but if anyone close to 57105 has a 93-01 impreza in great exterior shape (no rust/corrosion) for sale... email me as [email protected]

If you get the Impreza, is that JDM front clip, REALLY necessary?

what do you mean... the point is getting a low cost car becuase of its higher milage and then replacing the 2 parts more effected by mileage. Not to mention the older impreza weighs significantly less then the current fat usdm pig 02+ wrx's and STi's. Plus the jdm engines have less complications as far as emmsions go.

remember there are FIA race approved full roll cages for all the 7-copies.
Being tested for race crashes they'll do well at surviving 'road' accidents.
A lot better than the saloons in some cases !!!!

BUT, an open car can never be as safe as fitting a roll cage to a sedan/hatchback

Just make sure if it's for safety you fit an approved cage. There are lots of folks foolishly buying cheaper cages which do nothing in an accident. Some of the aluminium ones will just fold if you breathe on them

Superformance used to build an awesome (and very good-looking) Seven-style "S1 Roadster", although I'm not perfectly sure that they still build them.

how much was yours?

It can be 8-11K for the kit, depending what you have included, and 13-30K to finish, depending how much work you do yourself. Our was on the far end at 30K because we put much more than was nessacary in, and had alot of work done by others.
