Hi. I am a new member here. I have a ACVW business in Ethiopia. We manufacture some motor parts and import others from California and Brazil. I was curious of the availability and price of High proformance VW parts in South Africa. Perhaps it would be eaiser to ght them there?? Is it possible to get new cases and 84mm cranks, H-beam rods and such related parts there??

Yea, nothing made locally. All our Hi-po stuff comes in from the USA

Sorry, been busy.
We make an aluminum VW Engine case and a 6 cylinder engine case, Aluminum castings for ascessories like breather boxes, intake castings, air cleaners for webers, We are trying to make cranks but we cant seem to make them cheaper than the chinese...
We make a fuel injectiion kit and turbo kits with T-3 and T-4 turbos. We are planning a supercharger kit with a 75CI supercharger. Things of that nature. Mainly off roas stuff. Not to many roads in Ethiopia.

Mainly we make parts under contract to other companies. And the company is in Ethiopia so sorry no on the WEB page. But we are working on it. Most everything we make goes to USA and perhaps back to you guys. I will send some photos when I get back to Ethiopia. We are open to all sugestions on new products also. Let me know what you are interested in. It would be great to have some customers in Africa.

We would most definitely be interested in parts from, considering that you are up Africa...

I'm sure that shipping from Africa is much cheaper than shipping from the US...And the quality of your parts must be good...

So yes, let us know exactly what you keep and we could maybe organize a group buy on this forum :)

Sure I will make a list for you. I got to figure out about shipping... Dont think trucking is a good Idea..It will have to be DHL or by boat.
Even If we are both in Africa there are some pretty bad places between here and there....
