Alex, the IX's are now becoming good value, mine was $23k (unreg) with all the usual mod bits like Defi's, Teins, intake etc that I sold off.
The CT9A platform (EVO7-9) has now been around awhile so parts both OEM and aftermarket are plentiful, the CT9A is also pretty good performance wise.
The purchase price is a small part (relatively) of the overall build though so in my opinion start with the latest and best you can afford as it costs the same to cage a GC8 as it does a current Spec C.

I am not going to worry about b regging mine until the new rules come in. For the literally two or three times a year you drive it on the road it still costs you $600 / year. Also you have to pay stamp duty on the purchase price.
In the scheme of things it is not massive but still a cost.

Brendon,
I do the RAC sprints and other local events so I need to drive to and from. Do agree though that full rego and stamp duty on a car that is allowed for limited use on the road is a piss take.
