Does it have the IMSB upgrade?

^ Yeah, I'd definitely want a PPI done before buying. Plus, will it pass CA smog? Customs? Made to US safety specs? Will you be able to even find anyone willing to service it? Lots of questions here. I'm just a little leery of gray market imports into the US. I think I'd rather go buy one from my local dealer. Sure, they'll be 3x more expensive, but worth it.

Meh, not a fan. The fan(?) on top looks dumb to me as it's not what the 911 motors I've seen look like (late 993, 996 (3.4, 3.6, TT, and GT3), and M97). That the Subaru (ok, they have a boxer too) and BMW (wtf?) chains basically look the same ruins it even more for me.

Neat idea, just not a good execution in my opinion.

BMW chain is for motorcycles. I like this idea, let us know if you hear back

That's an expensive keychain. But I will admit that I do think it's cool.

gnat

Ah. That makes more sense

I got an answer on the mini engine keychain, actually received the email Oct24/15 but I missed it as it went to a junk folder. The seller states >> "Please Note! All the parts of the small engine are handcrafted in my machine shop. No casting parts." The final price shipped stateside is approx 217 euros.

Wonder if they have a turbo version.

Is it under warranty if the IMSB fails?

Sorry, it's air-cooled, my bad

I wonder if the guy can make us a water cooled version with The Solution already installed including the oil feed line and real oil. That be cool.

Thanks Paul29 for the reminder.

The "Mechanic" as is his title in his email signature seems like a real craftsman.
". All the parts I need are in store. Note! all the parts are made in my machineschop by normal machines. No casting parts."

I'll post pictures and a review when mine arrives.
PM me if anyone wants his email

Very cool.

Seeeu911: Be interested in what you think of it.

Yes very cool, but not $210 USD cool.

limited run on a cnc machine, you could turn these out pretty quickly in small lots once you're tooled up for it.
