He should bring it with him! Isn't there a law that allows you to import your personal car if you are moving here?

Yea its like you don't pay tax on bringing your bed or any thing like that do you
But being a car it would prob sit in customs for a while would be a lot of effot

Yes it was my car, was going to cost me about $3000 to bring it over but I could never get a proper estimate including duty etc, i'm gutted but the move is more important.
I may start again though as I still have some of my original plans etc and now i've done it once it should be a lot easier to do again. If I do decide to get another FTO and supercharge it I won't just make one lot of brackets etc though as it won't cost much more for extras.
What's it like to get small scale engineering done in WA like laser cutting of ally and ally welding etc?

Not sure about places and costs etc but Racing Performance Works (RPW) are Pretty big with Mitsubishis down here, they could help you out with an engineer.

In the UK it cost me about £2000 so about $3000 and that was with me not doing things right first time so I had re-work costs.
It was only low boost (7-8psi) and on stock pistons, conrods and stock head gasket etc but it made about 240bhp and knocked 1.5 seconds off my 1/4 mile time.

At the wheels or at the flywheel?

Fly, doesn't sound too impressive but it certainly felt it.
