Hello everyone, I just read the gulf news paper today, as of 27th November, and i have a few things to say and i hope i get a lot of responses (good or bad) on this issue. Apparently everyone believes that speed kills, that is incorrect Apparently, people who do eventually speed down the roads, driv...

Experts predicted that the Norther UAE is expected to be hit by an earthquake sometime soon.....

Insurance Brokers, or any kind of broker for that matter, always have their ways in and out of things.

I drive a 1986 car, i had one heck of a time just finding someone who would give me insurance in the first place....best deal i got was Dhs 880 for third party.......

hosrom_951

Get that thing on a track.......

Leaves a big grin on you're face by the end of the day

Anyone knows where one could find a GOOD dyno shop?

Not something stupid that gives flywheel power, but whp (wheel horse power), perferrably with a widband AFR readout.

So far, Al Naboodah has one, but without a wideband read out....

hosrom_951

What about tuning?

Do you have wideband O2 sensors?

Do you have timing control?

hosrom_951

Looks like we speak the same language..... I have an Innovative wideband installed in my car, i have a piggyback/fuel controller and dialed in a nice AFR. Thing is, i want to know how much i got there on the wheels...... Comparing two AFR charts would be nice (one installed on the car and one on the...

Again, very true....

We could be suffering from having too many retards here......LOL

Anyways, this point was covered in the first post, when people speed or exceed the limit of the cars that were not built for such abuse in the first place.

hosrom_951

I don't want to go there.........that's a new topic all by itself......

hosrom_951

At the moment, i am looking for a power run, it is a 2wd dyno run as well.

But if their prices/per hour is good, then i would always use them when i start upgrading the turbocharger, intake, bigger injectors etc....

Then i get into timing....that is where i need the dyno run(s)

hosrom_951

Thanks....

By the way, i like you're Porsche. Is it a Boxster or 911?

Note: My car is a Porsche as well....a 1986 944 Turbo that just blasts away with fury

hosrom_951

Cad drivers piss the heck out of me......... A small handfull of them are great, but the majority are just pathetic. They drive as if they are racing, don't care if they exceed the limit (even though the alarm goes on from the meter), squeeze in and out of traffic like their car is a Mini....... Sor...

Driving 140kpr on Al Khail road this evening, when a Corolla decided to stick to my rear and give me light..... Just floored it for a couple of seconds, got him off my back.......didn't even have to downshift to 5th gear. He never did that same move for as long as i could see him....... Goodness.......

hosrom_951

LOL..... Yeah, i was tipped off by the Audi center since i was picking up a seal (interchangable parts between VW/Audi and Porsche). They don't have a clue what i wide band is....and say everything is 'at the owners risk'. When he saw the gauges in my car, he called me a ricer. I then informed him t...

hosrom_951

Anything new?

Did you get the contacts?

hosrom_951

You can find some small parts here and there in Sharjah, but we are talking about steering wheels, seats, sound system and so on. Be warned, once you change an engine component, such as turbocharger, super charger, fuel, and so on, you WILL blow the engine sooner or later. You must get a wideband O2...

hosrom_951

you are welcome http://www.myeasynav.com/ This should tell you everything you need to know about GPS in Dubai You just buy the "SD" card and off you go lol ohhh if you havent GPS built into your Palm - you can buy the GPS adapter to plug in. Better still i bought the software with PDA with internal...

hosrom_951

Ask about service costs, that is the issue that a lot of people forget about. I will tell you this, i own a 1996 BMW 328iS, we purchased it from new in 1997. Now, in 2006, we clocked well over 212,000kms. We (my mother and i) have a FULL service history from AGMC Sharjah and Ras Al Khaima. The car d...

Right, fitting a fuel injection engine into another wouldn't work, the DME's/CPU's would not be compatable (in some cases), then come the sensors, wiring etc.......

hosrom_951

My goodness, look at the pices you are talking about!! I paid Dhs140 for 50% all round, and 75% on the rear window (American tint). 2-years, and still looks new. All done from the inside of the car, NOT the outside, that's why some tints fade and turn white-ish later on. Come to Deira, come to Salah...

hosrom_951

Sorry, but the Enzo has got the be the worse looking Ferrari made yet. Look at the F40, even look at the F50, just beatiful curve and outstanding engineering. They focus so much into engine management, cermaic brakes/calipers/pads and so on..... If that was a car built to cruise in and kick a$$ driv...

hosrom_951

You do understand that the Japanese imports have already took over the market (generally speaking).

Cheap, clean (most of them) and ready to go.....

hosrom_951

Since I've been here only for over 1/2 month and never experienced the summer in the Middle East, I am wondering what your experiences are... I have some friends who are living here, telling me its practicly impossible to walk outside during day and night, coz its so humid and you can hardly breath...

hosrom_951

Do you have a shop with parts?

I am looking for a nice muffler replacement for my car

hosrom_951

Model/type # of the car or muffler?

The car is a 1986 944 Turbo, sounds tricky, but very simple really.

LOL

For a hotel that has a fleet of Rolls, i think that amount is really like petty cash or something

hosrom_951

I will say this.....it maybe wrong, but it is my experience. I went to Fox Exhaust System, otherwise known as Skyline Exhaust in Dubai. For just the muffler, he quoted me Dhs 1,850 To be honest, that is ridiculous, since i can get a FULL 3" exhaust system (not including the headers) for $485 includi...

hosrom_951

Tuning is my main key, as well as a dyometer (which are hard to come by here).

Tell you what, let's meet up?

hosrom_951

Right now, i am looking for a muffler with tip

hosrom_951

Nissan would probably be the cheapest in maintenance
