  1. HArdhat, where about do you play?I see we both are from the same soils. Im usually around Area 53 and bigred on Friday early mornings. are you a part of any group? Im with D4x4 and also MEOffroaders. Edit : oops, my bad ... i just see you're part of me4x4 :-) i know a few of them there ... Siddharth, Paolo and few others by face.
  2. Here is my worst, tyre popped out and dug in, both pics are of the same incident !!!
  3. i was wondering why Zakie's been silent for a long time, bumped into him online and he's been in the far east tuning BMW's and 350Z's??? man this guy is moving ahead leaving is poor honda's behind i guess its fine, as long as he's doing fine !! so now there is a Market for Euro tuning in SL too thanks to Zakie? Well done and thumbs up bro.... what next? porsche and lambo's???????? Mr Zakie, im thinking of ITB's on the civic any plans on heading towards Dubai???
  4. i cant remember all the differences but some are : (someone please continue the list) 1) RPM meter 2) rear headrest 3) retract mirrors
  5. KLM, nope i meant the 3Door short wheel base ... they call it the RUB'3 (slang) in this region. Velocity : '08 Pickup full option 30,900US$ (toyota dubai). '08 3door shortwheelbase is 28,500$ from Oman. 3months waiting because they dont bring in that many, 5 months waiting for the FJ cruiser !! Thx for the compliments .... lets divert our attention back to the beautiful white pickup here before i get arrested for thread jacking
  6. Congrats again, after seeing this i went to Toyota to see for a pickup ... but 3 months waiting period and 30,900US$ for the full option with winch, over fenders etc. I just found out we can buy the 3door wagon from Oman for 28,500$ which is pretty reasonable and the family can drive it too :-) Oman Toyota has a secret agent in Dubai to offer the warranty & service too. I dont think Dubai Toyota will be too happy about that as Oman offers cars for around 1500$ cheaper than Dubai guys plus offer warranty & service !!! You're lucky, get some OEM cosmetics done (over fenders, alloys, etc) and it will look very nice !!! dont do anything to the engine, its good as it is and an amazing power to weight ratio. only department you'll have to look into is the bumpy ride ... guys here do something with the rear leafs, i will ask around and see what exactly it is. KotteMafia>i've sent you a PM Sold the Patrol and bought this : 4000cc 3 doors ... amazing in the desert only thing is front IFS ... compared to solid type available in the LC pickup/wagon/wrangler/patrol/ anyone heard that the Prado might change shape next year?
  7. Wow .... a few arrived here in Dubai, they're about 110,000$ through the dealer. talk about markups ! only VVIP's received the 1st lot.
  8. Ripper, many thanks for your email .... many thanks. it was tough to find a hi-res imagine online.
  9. Hi guys, i require a hi-resolution image of the Sri Lanka flag. can someone guide me to 1 or email at [email protected] its for my integra ... something that can be clear around A4 size print. thanks in advance !!

    Motul Lubricants

    all i know is Spoon Japan's garage --> Type One Garage recommends and uses Motul oil :-) so i guess its good.
  11. nice pics guys !!! makes you really want to buy 1 when you see them. I really wanted 1 but sometimes its not practical with a family. I wanted the swb wagon of it, but its only available in oman and not in Dubai which means i'll have issues with service & warranty.
  12. No turbo diesel's sold through the agents bro [only sneaked in through the border from oman ;-) ]... its just the 4.5 petrol and 4.2 diesel N/A. Those prices seem affordable, but then again ... having 3 seats as an only family car might seem unrealistic when you have to carry around parents and ancestors around
  13. ROTA does it for sure .... but they require you to purchase 5 sets (of 4) for each custom order. This was done by our local ROTA dealer so i know its for sure. Cheap rims too, 15" rims costed me about 500$ for a set of slipstreams that i use with slicks. Cheap because its light (about 5kg each) and quality. http://www.rotawheels.com/
