I'm busy liasing with a guy in SA about pickups if all goes as planned i will be importing them, just as shells or completely running, the shells are completely new, not restored.

If all goes well how many ppl would be interested? I'll be bringing 1 in for my self so if u wana see wat they like u can come have a look.

They wont be rediculously priced, but will get prices soon.

I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo


These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.

How could these be registered?

If they are shells then they'll need building and SVAing.

I was thinking the same thing, unless you have a pickup this is just going to be a lump of metal.

I also question the origins of the shells. I'm not being arsy, but a lot more information on where they are coming from, who is making them, how are they being made, etc, etc. I would expect all these questions from the above interested parties answered before any of my money saw the light of day.

I agree, id most definately be interested in one, however are the pick up shells stilling being made?
I didnt know that they were and thought that some of the pressing things that they use are no longer available

As i said once mine arrives any body can come and have a look and see wat they are like, i wouldn't expect any body to pay befor they even saw them.

I also stated that they can be fully running or just a shell, so as u order it is how it will arrive.

They will be registered in SA then once they here u will have to go thru mot and registerin them,(i've just recently done this with my yellow mini from SA).

The guy that i'll be gettin them has got everything for them to be made, i saw 1 he had done befor i immigrated.

So once mine lands here anybody is more than welcome to come have a look, then we can talk about all the other issues.
