£15k brings into contention every secondhand Impreza out there I think??
The world is your oyster young man - just stay away from the Import Crap!!
And NEVER, EVER, get a TVR again!! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING??????
TVRs are, were, and are to be .. the biggest piles of ****e on 4 wheels, second only behind Lotus's!! ...................... oh, why do people do it????

sorry havent replied choclate been to ford fair good day out.the tvr cerbra is awsome mate no other word comes close to describing it,for a novice like myself needs to be bone dry and wheels pointing in a stright line before you stamp on the loud peddle or your in a whole heep of trouble,very loud loads a pops and bangs on over run,but and it is a big but for me repair bills runnung costs,servicing etc are to high and to offen.eg engine re build on mine now is going to be 5k,so thats why i am getting it repaired at austec and then selling it.

That amount puts you in the middle of blobeye territory. (03 poss 04 STi). If you could scape a bit more, you should be able to get an 05, to get DCCD etc.
Me personally, i'd go for a JDM STi with £15k.

5k is an aweful lot - i really feel for you, was it the speed six by any chance
Give SFR engineering a call in Stockport and speak to Shane Fearns, he used to work on the official TVR race team, TBH he can coem across as a bit arrogant but he really knows his stuff - worth doing though if it can save you a grand.

its the 4.2 v8 cheif,and the best place although not the cheepest place for it to go is austec mate,simply because the place and guys there are so highly thought of by the tvr peolpe,hopefully making it better to sell,thanks for the offer though
