I would choose to get ABS in a car in any country. Do you need ABS more in Dubai than other places? because of no rain and snow, maybe not. But I would always like to stop a few meters earlier in an emergency while not locking the wheels and sliding around. Contrary to popular belief, ABS stops you...

Does anyone here have any good experiences with audio (ICE) shops that do soundproofing for cars? I'm getting on in years, and looking for an affordable solution to reduce the amount of cabin noise. I'm hoping to get some knowledgeable advice on the estimated cost and the panels that I should be loo...

I don't even want to entertain the idea of a 'conversion' in this place. I have yet to see ONE good RHD to LHD conversion. Of course, there might be one or two good conversions, so you'll just have to decide how lucky you're feeling :) If the guy has a LHD STi, I'd say to just import it instead of b...

Acura = Honda. Dealer for Honda in Dubai is Al-Futtain.

But why this car specifically? I bought it because I was sorta "poor" back then, and never bothered replacing it. By the way, are you in Dubai, or UK? The Sharjah used car market has hundreds of the 2.0 variety. There are ways to spot defects, which I learned AFTER buying it. Im yet in Lo...

Stealing gets you hands chopped off in some places in ME. Guess what they cut off in this case?

Thanks everyone, I want to spend less than AED 70k. I would buy new but I just hate the thought of losing so much money as I drive it off the lot. I definitely understand about the risk though, especially considering the way people drive out here. I went to the auto market this weekend and most of ...

offensive material? Been listening to it for years, nothing offensive about the music i listen to, so no idea why they would ban it.

Many auto starters are built into advanced/premium aftermarket car remote systems, allowing the user to start the car without being in the car. However, IIRC, this also disables the immobilizer and makes the car easier to steal since the immobilizer is bypassed or rendered inactive by the presence o...

Based on your original post, I was under the impression that you were planning to use the automatic car starter to start the car remotely so that it starts the car and the airconditioner, so that the interior of the car would be cool when you get to it a few minutes later. From my experience with su...

Whichever is cheaper. But IIRC, the VW retains better resale than Volvo, so keep that in mind if you plan to sell your car in 2 to 3 years

Could be anyone. Damon Hill was spotted elsewhere when TG was filming one of the episodes, so it may not be him

OTOH, TG might be using a couple of different race drivers to mix things up a bit, or it may not be an F1 driver, maybe a BTCC or WTCC driver.

Yeah, but why take the risk, when the OP already has his car in LHD, and all he needs to do is to import it? Plus, since he already owns the car, he knows the history of the car, and doesn't have to take a chance with buying one of uncertain history from here and then take more chances and spend mor...
